    2011 WY/MT Trip – Day 2

    Today we left Jackson and headed toward our next stop of Gardiner MT via Yellowstone Nat’l Park. On the way up, we knocked out the more ‘touristy’ portions of the park. And man, I can safely say that this is by the far the busiest park I’ve ever been in (even if it is labor day weekend). Stand in line to see something, 20 seconds to take a couple of photos, then get out of the way before you get…

    2011 WY/MT Trip – Day 1

    Well we made it to our first stop on our journey north, Jackson WY. I can’t say that the ride out here was completely trouble free, (and no, I’m not talking about the tire issues). I’ll get to our rough spot here in a moment. I’m not always going to have the internet available, so you’ll have to wait for updates as I have access. And be forewarned, I’ve been away since 5 a.m. Friday morning, and have only had…

    Washita MX 7-30-11

    This past weekend, I wandered out to Washita MX for the trucks second off-road outing. Overall, the truck performed very well, though there’s a few things that need to be changed up. I’ll get to those later. We covered about 11 miles of trails (red dotted line):

    The Lone Ranger – 1st ORT 6/6/2011 SIJA Jeep Jam at SMORR

    I finally accumulated most of the photos from this weekend into one spot. I must say, SMORR is by far the nicest private off road park that I’ve ever been too. I really wish it wasn’t 4 hours away, but I will be making another trip down there in the future. All and all, we covered about 20 miles of trails while we were down there: Link to all the photos: http://saral.zenfolio.com/p276462752/slideshow Loaded up and headed out Friday afternoon: Setup…

    The Lone Ranger – 1st Long Road Trip

    The wife and I took the first ‘long’ road trip in the Ranger this weekend (about 600 miles round trip). While not really part of the build, I thought a little update on how the thing does on the road would make some sense. Onto the photos! Headed south (MO) on the two lane for awhile: Stopped at Blue Springs: Continued on To Rocky Falls: And then onto Alley Spring/Mill. This mill is a little different as it uses a…
