Dry roads and open skies to you and Spirit!

A little tight doing this with a phone!
Ara and Spirit here. Long story short...
Left for the road full time on November 6th 2006 with 95 BMW GS motorcycle and a sidecar for my buddy Spirit, rescued Pit. 8 years later while also having an off the grid Base Camp in Big Bend TX as the body needed new parts [that would be mine!] we ended up trailering three sidecar with a 2000 Ford f350 7.2 Turbo diesel 4x4 with lockers 4 doors [the good year!] mounted with a 2004 4 season Northern Lite slide in camper totally self contained. Needing more body work we sold The Oasis [Texas] and 6 months ago bought a great little home in Alamogordo New Mexico 16 miles away from Cloudcroft, the Sacramento Mountains and Lincoln National Forest. Heaven! It will be shorter Journeys from now on exploring this Gem of a State and of course the adjacent ones with camper only! The sidecar is for local rides now. Our tenting days are over after 11 years full time camping. [hips, spine plate, bypasses, stents and more stents!
I have kept a mental and photographic Journal since day one
www.TheOasisOfMySoul.com
and also now giving credit to our new State
www.TheNewMexicoRoads.com
Hoping all this makes sense!
Stay well.
Ara and Spirit

Thanks Jake,
I love your videos and seeing your travels. Sorry I missed you here at Lake Pleasant. We did a trip to West end of Grand Canyon that day.

Hello everyone,

I am looking forward to learning as much as I can and making new friends. I have very little overlanding or off-road experience for that matter. I used to have a 2006 Wrangler that I only took off road a couple of times. I have regretted getting rid of that vehicle for several years so I decided it was time to get back in. Current vehicle is a 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon and I live in Hemet, CA.

Cheers!

Hey all Adam from AZ,
In November I bought locally a 1996 FJ80 with 173k miles. It was all stock and needed some love. AZ Sun can be murder on the interiors so no surprise the leather seats were cracked. I found a local guy that redid the leather and match factory stitching. I have add a 3" Old Man Emu and 315/75 Toyo Open Country tires to the stock rims. Apparently it was also stolen the first year and they replaced the steering wheel with a tan version. I used a Leather Vinyl paint to match the leather. Hopefully a snorkel in the near future....
