Hmmm, I'm thinking Calico for a TJ Fest West 2022?

What say you @Chris ?

Too soon to say for sure. We'll revisit this in the months to come.

Ocotillo Wells has some nice features/ destination points. They also have the 4x4 park near Truck Haven

Jeepers helping Jeepers....love it! Hope you get it fixed

Honestly, he was just a nice guy that happened to be in a Jeep. Said he’s never been offroad, just liked the size of the Jeep. I definitely need to pay that forward.

Great day on the trail. Thanks for putting it together.

i had an interesting ride home. At some point yesterday, my e-brake on the passenger side broke inside the rotor. Didn’t cause any problem until I got out on the road at speed. Heard a strange noise so, pulled over before the highway. I could see the cable loose but, thought ‘no big deal, I’ll fix it at home’. Randomly hear the noise on the freeway until I hit a bump and it was clear something was grinding. Limp to the exit and figure out the e-brake shoes were loose inside the rotor. Easy fix, except I was THAT GUY yesterday. I forgot a ratchet strap! Fortunately, I nice guy pulled up in a brand new Rubicon. Said he’s never been offroad. Anyhow, he gave me a strap. Fixed it 10 minutes later.

I knew something let loose but, couldn’t find it. I saw the brake cable was loose when I pulled up to your truck to air up. The brake wouldn’t hold. So, the cable wasn’t attached but, assumed it was fine until I got home. My fault for assuming

Also, did my taxes today. The IRS decided they would rather I send them a check instead of buying a tow rig. Looks like I’m keeping this one for a while

Let me see if I can find the parts I need. Also developed a leak in a tire. No doubt from all the glass. Seriously, for those that plan to drink on the trail, the least you could do is use cans!
