Haha I'm just giving you motivation to get out here  😀 

I have another short trip planned this weekend, bringing the GF to hike her first 14er so I should have some pretty sweet pics.  [monkey]

Good idea Art, I have a pipe bender laying around and didn't even think of that.

Ya I haven't seen wheeling pics from you in awhile...getting too hot out there in the desert ?

It's been really hot lately. Usually it's better in the mountains but we've been getting a lot of storms too

Lots of rain on those steep slopes is bad news , hopefully there wont be a repeat of the Estes Park floods .

We got to the rock garden on Spring Creek and the bottom dropped out on us for a good 10-15 minutes. Hail, torrential rain, thunder. Not great. Not to mention we were on the hardest part of the trail and now it's all wet, lol

Like Tim said, it's been hot in the city but once you get into the mountains about 30 mins away it usually much nicer and 10-15 degrees cooler. Great camping weather all summer for sure.
 
Really like the build man. Simple appearance, yet super capable.

Cool pictures Mike. Just curious, what is to come with the Jeep build?

Well short term...get some flush mounted LED's for the back, pick up a new oil pan (mine is fubared bad) and finally install my engine skid and enjoy till winter.

Winter goal is to get 2 new MTRs in the front as I toasted mine within a few thousand miles after neglecting my balljoints, lesson
learned the hard way. Finish my DIY beadlocks just need to grind the welds and mount them basically so I'm waiting to get 2 new tire so I don't have to do it twice. My HP30 will get installed whenever my buddy pull's it from his jeep to install his 'Toyota' axles in his jeep.

Nice! Sounds like a solid plan. I'm interested to see your beadlocks!

 Although that would be awesome and I would jump at the opportunity if graduation was closer, I'm only going to be a junior this fall.  🙁
