Just a quick trip on one of our favorite trails in the desert northeast of Phoenix.
Wildflower bloom is quite amazing this year, so folks stop and walk across the freeway to take a few pics...
First time out for us in at least three months, Claudia in the LX, me driving my '85 K5.
So, K5 in its natural element - the gas station. Some dude drives up and suggests I ought to check out overlandbound.com or some such.
"I don't overland. I just go 'wheeling." The fellow says yea, we do that too. "But overlanding is small tires and light bars". Dude drives off, resignation on his face...
Some folks just lack proper training - the K5 has neither rooftop tent/roof rack/side awning/light bars, nor rotopax/maxtrax/shovel/axe/hi-lift jack/trash-a-roo strapped on somewhere on the outside. So it can't possibly be qualified for overlanding. It has two antennas, though. But also way too many dents...
P.S. The pattern on the hood is an attempt in memory of the late Eddie Van Halen. Thought about a wrap, then decided on tape just to see if I liked it. I do, and even got spousal approval.

Truck is finally back home after several long months in the shop! Steering upgrades, front Antirock swaybar, and new wheels & tires, 38" Trail Grapplers.
Which beach is this? I need to take my cruiser on a beach trip. I’ve heard Boca Chica is cool.
Found some snow
Matagorda beach, good fishing there too

Great choice in tires, they are bullet proof.

I think I know what road that is. It’s near where you live right?
Yeah this was Latrobe area. Not much to do aside from a few rutted out sections.
Nice! I love it there. How was the wind?
How much did they charge you?
$150
$150 and took two days
The wind wasn't bad 10 to 15 mph, 5 to 10 mph at night
Decided to go out and enjoy some warm weather here in Southern California. Calico definitely did not dissapoint, went out with my dad's 3rd gen 4runner. Ran Odessa Canyon/Doran Loop and it gave my truck a work out haha. Took one of our friends out for the first in the 80, she thought there was no way the truck would go up and over some of the real technical obstacles..
Gave my sliders, front bumper and rear some pretty decent rock rash this round!
