A Jeep thing? Throwing a bunch of time and money at a problem that is either inherent or one that they’ve created? Jeeps alone have the uniqueness of being a vehicle that is totally replaceable with aftermarket parts which allows any guy with a donor chassis, a garage, tools, some knowledge, access to the Wrangler Forum and a good credit score to build himself a Jeep without ever getting an automotive engineering degree. And have a lot fun, not counting the odd busted knuckle, doing it. Jeep on.

Took a break from wrenching and went for a quick overnight trip and some Astro Photography.
Really impressed with way the jeep rides. Aired the tires down to 15psi and was amazed and the ride quality on the trail. The new gearing feels great in mountains.
Edit: Added a couple other photos I found on the camera I liked.

Went over Ebbets and Monitor pass to just below Bridgeport. To a small lake below Kavanaugh Ridge. Really easy little trial with some of the best night skies around, the lake is at 10,500 feet.
I figured you were on the eastern side of the Sierras, nice to see there’s still patches of snow there. You can’t get good night sky pictures like that on this side with all they valley lights. Not every trail has to be a 10 to have a great time, my wife and I enjoy running those old dirt roads. I’ll say it again, great pictures!

Yeah I really love the night sky on the Eastern side.
Light pollution is a really big bummer. I often wonder how many people are out there that have never seen a truly dark sky.
Looks like a great trip, I’ll have to try and get up that way and check this out sometime! Those dirt roads can be a fun and nice getting away from it all.

I know a guy who’s lived in Sacramento area nearly his whole life and he has never been to the snow....
Hey I guess it leaves the outdoors for us people who like it.

My wife and I drove to Cody from eastern NC 14 years ago and couldn’t get over just how beautifully blue the sky was without all the east coast air pollution. Great photos.
Ebbets is a pretty awesome old school highway mountain pass, not much use for the rush rush crowd, but if you’re in mind to take a scenic trip over to Nevada or even just to Markleeville for an ice cream cone, it’s the best. Deer Valley Trail would be a nice trail to do some day.

I only ran it half way on quads with my son and that was 9 years ago, so not sure.
Around end of the year. Hoping to do a maiden voyage with a camping trip over Christmas, just need to figure out where won’t be too cold
