Fresh off the back of the UPS truck, I received my KC Hilites’ Gravity Pro LED headlights today from Northridge 4×4!
Recipe: Sweet Hot Chili Fish Tacos
Summer is quickly fading away, and as the shadows get longer earlier, and the grill is in the dark faster, it is time to start thinking of ways to make fresh, hearty food.
I also can’t think of a better way to serve Gardein’s new Fishless Filets.
Rubicon 2016
This year’s Rubicon trip would be unlike any other we have ever taken. Maybe it was the seemingly countless trailer flops. Or maybe it was the legendary campsite. Or, the fact we started in Wentworth Springs instead of Loon Lake.
Product Install: Redneck Ram Hydro Assist Kit + Synergy Sector Shaft Brace
I always wanted to add hydro assist to my Jeep but questioned the PSC kit’s price point. Being a simple system I figured others would work just as well or better. Enter Redneck Ram from West Texas Offroad.
I found myself once again calling my buddy Dirk to help lend his expertise with this somewhat complicated install.
This was a two day install, as we could only work nights.
First things first, we put the Jeep on the lift, removed the front driver tire/wheel, tie rod, and sway bar links. We also removed the pitman arm from the drag link (leaving the passenger side connected).

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Highline [Seattle]
One of my favorite things when traveling for work is to hit up the ol’ Happy Cow app and see where fate and GPS lead me. Tonight they both conspired to land me in Capitol Hill in Seattle, off bustling Broadway, and to the steps of Highline Bar.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Yuan Su Vegetarian [Portland]
When it comes to vegan sin food, look no further than a steaming chinese buffet to quench your carby-starchy-salty cravings. And, no two Chinese vegan joints are ever created equal. There are upscale locations and, well, downscale too. Which was honestly what I expected as we pointed the Jeep to Portland’s “felony flats” to try out a new Chinese place. And boy was I wrong.
Yuan Su is located in a large building at the corner of 112th and Powell with ample parking. Once inside the huge wooden doors, the place is well lit, clean, and very spacious. I was surprised to see a stage there, but figured it was just part of the building’s history.
The service was warm and humble and quickly brought us water, house soup, and discussed the new business. As we pored over the immense menu (I honestly do not know how they can sustain such a huge menu) we decided on some options.

Yesterday I unboxed a brand new kit from West Texas Offroad for a complete Redneck Ram!

Restaurant Review: Lovin’ Spoonfuls [Tucson]
On a recent trip to Arizona, I checked out the Happy Cow app to help me find some local vegan restaurants and was stoked to see a place called Lovin’ Spoonfuls. After reading a few reviews I decided to head over and check it out.
The location is simple, but nice, nestled into a strip mall off Campbell Avenue. Parking was simple, and I found a spot right in front. They have a nice covered outdoor seating area and on this cool evening, I decided to eat out front.
Once inside, there is a really nice seating area with a dessert case, small retail section, and some information on animal rights and activism.

2016 Tillamook Jeep Jamboree
Well it has happened again – a hoard of Jeeps from around the country descended upon Tillamook, Oregon for the 2nd Annual Jeep Jamboree.
I was invited to trail guide for the Archer’s Firebreak trail which coincidentally is my personal favorite in the TSF trail network.
The first day we arrived, we setup our tent trailer and camp, got vehicles checked in and evaluated, and signed up for trails. In the evening, we had our Trail Guides & Gunners dinner at Shilo Inn.
Recipe: Orange Glazed Soy Curls
Of all the vegan food staples out there, I feel the humble soy curl gets a bad rap. Basically, there is nothing that sounds good or enticing about a “soy curl.” Yet as many vegans know, these nutritious, easy to store, easy to prepare curls are amazing meal starters and replace chicken in almost any way.
Make sure to create this amazing vegan dinner when your family is craving an asian-inspired junk food night!
