Seeing that Rubicon up there... putting up a recovery in sand demo/class for Jeeps Go Topless Day event at Carolina Beach. Staged two scenarios, one for HiLift and one for Pull Pal. Not a bad day of work!

My 80 with $20 awning deployed, getting ready...

Hundreds of jeeps of every config imaginable showed up

Didn't take video or pics of recovery as I had my hands full, but saw lots of people taking them. Hope to find some...

reminds me of college days there digging out holes next to my buddy's tires and sinking his jeep to the frame as he slept :lol:
Maybe this could be your new sales tactic Izzy... Friday night highjinx leads to saturday record sales :hmm:

Met up with another mudder @jamesurq for a lazy paddle down the Dan river; cant believe no pics as its rather intriguing to watch someone load two kayaks on a prinsu on an 80 with 8'' lift and 40'' tires. well done.
 
That jeep with brand new BFG all terrains wouldnt get stuck even on 2WD, so we sunk it! That did it. Then combined HiLift demo with traction device demo on that tire and he drove off drama free. The Pull Pal worked as designed, pulled another jeep without fuss.

Left Sam the wonder dog at home and took the wife camping and wheeling on the Hassayampa River.

Tested the ARB awning room, the room goes up super easy and fast. The take down was just as easy and stored in the original without any issue. All in all its nice and was wife approved but does not work with my set up do to the limited and difficult access to the Flip up windows and second row door access. So if anyone is interested in an ARB awning room used once let me know.

Spotting my old 40 - Super easy because it goes anywhere with ease - I do miss it when I see it

Left Friday morning to go see a mud member over In Texas. Picked up a nice domestic fridge. I was going for 64 hours.

Then I left again.

Last weekend... Went to Overland Expo and then wandered around the mountains south of Flagstaff for a couple of days. Great camping areas!

Its awesome around that area. Do you go towards Camp Verde or near Payson?
 
replaced fuel injector #5 only to realize that the leak was from a stretched bolt on the fuel rail. Oh well, got me to buy my gaskets and brakes lines from @beno to get a full order in before he leaves for the west coast. Thank you again brother for the parts but mostly for the guidance and good mojo!
