    Yellowstone a few months ago. Such an epic trip with some good buddies.
    More on this trip will be on my blog as soon as the video is ready to be released from Optima Batteries.

    I did start a website / blog, for those interested, to catalog my trips and content all in one place.
    I will be going back through past trips and doing a write-up on them along with upcoming trips.
    Not much on it yet but it is one of my 2017 goals to keep it active and fresh.

    Check it out if you have a chance and let me know your thoughts - good and bad!

    You do realize that you have branded yourself well enough throughout the community at large that you can probably start to make a living at it. (If you are not already doing it) Have you considered videos like expedition overland or mountain state overland?

    It would be absolutely amazing to get paid to travel and document but that lucky day isn't here yet lol This is all my passions rolled into one though. I love anything outdoors, exploring, photography and marketing which is what I do full-time as well right now as a contractor for multiple clients. I have been fortunate enough to be able to do quite a bit the past few years and hope it just increases in the years to come. I do things a bit different than some of the great overland based channels though. I might be a bit too aggressive for most just because of my love for things that go pew pew lol but that would be absolutely amazing to do all of this for a living!

    So one of my end of the year goals is to go through all the pending private messages I have on TW, FB, and IG lol stand by

    Lawn Dart Design (on instagram) swung through Arizona so we had to get a few photos of our rigs together.

    That's the @Pelfreybilt corporate cruiser so you could say they inspired me first lol and then a few of my mods inspired them. I love their rig though and it's on 37's now!

    Is there a way calibrate the speedometer after going that large?
