    Another Almost Deadly Encounter with Jake, The Snake

    I don't think this is my imagination... that rock pictograph/petroglyphs obviously was an attempt to warn you of impending danger. Its pretty obvious there are multiple pictures of snakes here. Not sure why they didn't use red, yellow or orange ink/paint/mud

    Raptor Assault

    That is combined on my entire 3k trip as calculated by the truck... my slight more aggressive driving with my girlfriends ease on the accelerator, Highway at 80MPH+ for hours.... city.. and trails in 4wd at 5-10mph. I'm okay with 12.8 I have a Gen1 obviously.. and 13-15 on the highway seems...

    Moab inspired by John M

    hah... how narrow was it??... too narrow for the boss/passenger... probably about the same as other trails, but.. for some reason it was easy for me to talked into turning back. I am certainly going back once I get my Bronco... but yes, its far and it would be nice if it were closer. I was...

    Those are not premium prices.. I was burning gas way to fast to know the difference... 231 gallons in a week. This pic is my trip recording for the week. and actually.. in WI/MN I am used to the regular gas being 87 octane, but it seemed once you got somewhere in Nebraska.. certainly CO and...

    Fishing rods - Truck Cap vs Tonneau Cover?

    If your poles are 2 pieces, they will fit in your box with a topper or tonneau no problem.. but most of my casting rods are one piece and will not fit... I have an ARE topper on my truck mostly for the puppies.. but also for gear. I open the windows of the topper and truck and the casting...

    Raptor Assault

    For folks driving out.. I am sure all of us have the GasBuddy app on our phones to find cheaper gas, but I found a new feature... If you go to Gas Buddy from a computer, they have a "Plan your Trip" feature. You enter your start, end, any stop... then enter your Raptor details.. and it routes...

    Moab inspired by John M

    @JohnyPython nope... no manbun.. @John M .. yes way different than WI/MN.. and the pictures are nice, but they certainly cant give you the feeling you get in your gut when you are driving shafer switchbacks or along other canyons looking over the edge... its crazy awesome.

    Moab inspired by John M

    Well... I got sick of sitting in Wisconsin looking at the beautiful pictures from @John M so we loaded up the Raptor and made the trip to Moab last week. I have driven through it in the past a couple times, but never stopped. This time we stayed the whole week and explored the trails, visited...
