"Man do I know how to turn a small project into a big one..."
You only have yourself and the Hemi to blame!

A buddy of mine over on JeepForum.com send me a link to this article on the 2022 Ultimate Adventure. I was interviewed as part of the Dirty Dozen back in July, but I did not make the final cut. Cool to be considered though.

I'd love to watch you on there.

I’ve seen a few YouTubers talking about getting ready for UA. You could have been out wheeling with Dirtlifestyle Nate and his Toyota.
I’ve met and wheeled with Ian Johnson a few times, but it would have been cool to meet Dave Chapelle. Meeting Nate would have been cool too.
Although as I said it was cool to be considered and interviewed, I knew from the get go that I would not make it because the reader‘s rides they select are always very unique and cool. My rig? not so much. When I saw this article showing the others in the dirty dozen it confirmed my belief. But, seeing my rig considered among the rest of those rigs was very cool.
You going to keep trying? Says it may take multiple years to get in.
What’s funny is that I did not apply for this year’s UA, I applied for last year’s. During the interview I asked Christian Hazel about that and he said he keeps a file of interesting rigs that he looks at across the years. But yeah, I’ll probably try again. Although I may have to swap on an old J10 body…

I've got just the ticket for you. I hear everyone loves bedliner these days...Although I may have to swap on an old J10 body…

Thursday night I had the great pleasure of having @Brianj5600 buy me dinner here at a local steak house. Brian wanted to talk about some future big plans he has for his rig. It was a great discussion - thanks again Brian! I enjoyed the meal, the conversation, and the company.
Anyway, after dinner we were in the parking lot - and Brian was going over my rig with a fine-tooth comb. I could tell he was just looking to find something wrong. And damn if he didn't!
"Hey, ahhhhh, Jeff", Brian said with a smug smile, "do you know you have a broken exhaust bracket?"

Well, after crushing my ego, Brian asks "How is it driving with hydro-assist? Is it squirrelly on the street?"
"If it's set up correctly, you don't even know it's there. Would you like to drive the rig?"
After a few seconds of thought, Brian says "Ahhhh, I dunno - that exhaust could fall off at any second....."
But he took his chances.
Thanks again Brian. We need to wheel again soon.
