What a brilliant idea this was! So, it’s been a little while since Rendezvous in the Ozarks and we were all itching to camp and ride trails again. So a couple of friends and I decided to do just that last weekend. You know, when the weather dropped to 18 degrees at night. Yeah… Things …

Well That Was Interesting
The whole COVID-19 thing is/was a really weird time. I’ve moved jobs, worked on the Jeep, and been to Rendezvous In The Ozarks (RITO) 2021. While there I went through 3 days of rain, lack of tools to overcome, failure after failure in my setup, and a generation appreciation for overlanding. I’ll be doing a …
Hello September, I’m ready to Camp!
I believe that Arkansas has two seasons where it shines as a state. One is the springtime when everything starts to bloom and the fish start getting ready to irritate me for another season. The other is fall when cool evenings and clear skies beg for campfires and morning coffee. To be clear, the fall …
Getting In Tip Top Shape
I’ve been dealing with the soft top issue for a while now. I knew when I bought the Jeep that the top would have to be replaced. It was just cracked and weather worn/rotted from whenever it was installed. I can only assume it was as old as everything else on this TJ. The zippers …
A Busted Belt & a Resistor Later
Saturday was going pretty well! Cruising in the Jeep, with the top down, and taking in a nice sunny day. Out of nowhere a bang under the hood, smoke started rolling out, and the power steering was shot. Fortunately, I was on the way back to the house when it happened, so it wasn’t too …
Getting to know a Jeep

New Year & New Challenges
Ok, so I’ve hit a little snag in the last few weeks with posting. Well posting on the website. If you check out my Instagram I’m super active: [instagram-feed num=3] I just haven’t made time to get on the website and make updates. I’ve got some more gear reviews coming, but they aren’t fully written. …
What’s Cooler Than Cool?
Ice cold: Like single digit cold. We don’t typically get down to the single digits here in the Natural State, so when I said “Baby It’s Cold Outside” I wasn’t wrong but it wasn’t THIS cold! These temps are a stark contrast to the majority of days we had over the holidays. Speaking of, I …
The 2018 Project
2017 was a really good year overall. There were a lot of ups and downs along the way, but overall it was a really good year. Personally, I feel like there were a lot of things that I should have accomplished, but they just got pushed to the back burner. This happens all the time and …
