On the road.
Ran across this today, and thought I'd share.

Files too large...

@Chris?

Anyway, pretty cool discussion of off roading...

Anyone have background on Mark A. Smith?
 
What kind of files are we talking about? Images or what?

It was a PDF with his discussions of how to drive off road. It also had a story about his run from Terra del Fuego to the North Slope in four factory CJ's.

Edited to add: Rubicon Trail and Jeep Jamboree.

Or just PM me for my email and I'll find a way to attach said PDF.

Mr. Smith was an exceptional person. I've enjoyed the conversations I've had with him at the Springs on the Rubicon and at the first ever Moab Jeep Jamboree we attended. His family still runs the Jeep Jamboree and they are fairly nice folks as well. He was personally responsible for the JK still having a fold down windshield even though the windshield frame is curved. You'll note the odd hinge placement to make it possible. That is due to them running the Rubicon for all the Jeep sponsored runs that happen every week with the various staff from the dealerships during the 12 week season up there. All of them are run with the windshield folded down or were up until a few years ago.
 
I read his obituary online, and he seemed like one heck of a guy. Thanks Blaine.
