This is a look back at a major recovery from last year. Includes interviews with the family and paramedics who were first on site
Thankfully we have a group in our area willing to do this kind of work free of charge.
Be safe out there, and if you're going solo; make sure someone knows your...
I've said all along I recieved a gem of a Jeep with my 2020 2 door. Built during the first two weeks back from the covid shut down, the fit and finish was perfect, and aside from the track bar bolts coming untourqued at 10k miles, have had zero issues.
And now have recieved a perfect oil report...
Souther Nevada Off Road Rescue recoveres a rolled over pickup truck from the dry lake near Boulder City.
This is how to do it right!

If you're fortunate enough - as we are in Las Vegas - to have a local, volunteer recovery group in your area, supprt the heck out of them.
Our local group SNORR (Southern Nevada Off Road Rescue) rolls out at all times of day and night, puts in as much time as needed to make the recovery and...

Travis Pastrana breaks his 2017 record run by 16 seconds...a full 45 seconds ahead of 2nd place. The on-board video is spectacular. My first reaction is simply, "f**k that!'
I love Gaia gps for wheeling - even more since Trails Off Road can upload routes directly to the app. But it has always been a bit of a pain to not be able to use it with Android Auto and uconnect (they've had carplay integration for a while now). They have finally opened the beta version for AA...
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing efforts of our local off road recovery groups.
These guys don't charge for recoveries and put in some serious time to help those stranded off road.
In the attached video SNORR (Southern Nevada Off Road Recovery) and ORRLV (Off Road...
Spent the weekend in Sedona breaking in Big Blue on some proper trails. Have done tones of hiking there, so it only seemed a fitting place for my baby's first road trip...
