I've been on a lot of the weather desert roads, but not this one, stock can typically do it no prob.

Are you joining us?

I hate to say I'm still up in the air. Got my yoke and seal placed, so that leak seams to be fixed. I need to get the shock mounts straightened out to get the shock to mount. Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow so I can go.

Run it. We have straps and I know at least 2 winches. I've ran everything from a stock 98 forester to a built 06 LJ. We won't leave you hanging.

A lot of the trails in the West Desert are doable in a stock 4x4 or even a bigger 2wd truck. We will also schedule more get togethers to discuss trips.

I kind of lost track.

I’ll be making the long haul from Heber, planning on meeting up with those who are meeting in Tooele. I’ll have my 8yo and maybe my 2 teenage boys, if I can get them up in time. I’ll be in a gray LR3.

I'm already here. Got a hotel in wendover. Watch out if there is fog. I had two inches of ice on my light bar by the time I got here.

BuiltForWandering · Jan 12, 2019

About 50 miles east of Wendover the roads start becoming snow blowing and slick. Be safe headed out everyone.

I’m not a professional photographer and I don’t play one on TV, but here’s the few I got. I was a little bummed as we were driving out that it was so cloudy, but it actually turned out to have a cool effect.
