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 – 30,000 mile update
The truck really hasn’t had any major changes since Nov of 2011 when I swapped in the front D60. So I figured it was about time to do a bit more or a long term update. At this point, I have put 30,000 miles on this thing since the initial build back in early 2011. So I’ve been putting miles on it at roughly the 15,000 miles/year mark which is cool. I wasn’t lying when I stated that my wheeler…

The Lone Ranger – Military Tire Take Off Update
Now that I’ve had these tires on for a while, I thought it was time for a bit of an update. On Road Comments: Snow – This year has been utterly disappointing for snow down in the St. Louis area. I did get to run them in light snow (less than 1″) both ways (siped and unsiped). They really weren’t any worse in the snow than the swampers I used to run on my Cherokee so I’m not sure why…
