No Wheeling to Ring in the New Year

Looks like for the first New Years Day in a few years, I will not be wheeling. I just have not had a chance to reinstall my rock rails after installing my new T&T suspension and stiffeners.

Plus the fact that I’m getting a little bored of The Badlands in my new rig, and my old one still isn’t ready to wheel. Oh well, I need to save my money for an upcoming trip to Colorado anyways.

Cowpokes to Bike Spokes: The Story Of Moab, Utah

Wow again! I can’t believe it either. I have read threee books in just over a week ;)

I just finished reading The Story of Moab by Tom McCourt this evening, and it was an excellent read. The book consisted of a bunch of different stories from the histroy of Moab.

It is a very easy read and very interesting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to visit Moab or has plans on visiting the area. I cannot wait to get bAck to Moab now :D

White Canyon: Remembering the Little Town at the Bottom of Lake Powell

Wow, I can’t believe I have actually read two books in the span of one week. What is wrong with me? ;)

Like the previous book I read (The Split Sky), this book is written by Tom McCourt and I could not put it down down. The book is about the authors experiences in the little town of White Canyon in the 50’s which has since been covered with the waters of Lake Powell.

It was a good read, and again I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exploring the canyons of Utah.

What’s next on my list of books? Well, it would be another book by Tom McCourt that just recently came out; The Moab Story. I’m sure I will enjoy this one as well, since I love spending time around Moab :)

Driving Home

Well, after leaving Zach’s shop this morning after working on my Jeep for 18 hours, I had to drive through a big snowstorm. A drive that usually takes just over an hour, ended up taking me two and a half hours, getting me home at 4:30am.

It was slow going, but I finally did make it home. Good thing I loaded the Jeep on the trailer near the front so I had more weight on the rear wheels of my truck ;)

Here’s some pictures from when I left Zach’s shop.

…and when I finally made it home

Working on my Jeep at Zach’s shop

Well, after spending 18 hours working on my Jeep yesterday with the held of Zach and Joe, we managed to get my T&T Y-Link suspension installed along with the T&T Stiffeners and Dana 30 truss. Also managed to get my RuffStuff 8.25 cover on and shaved the bottom of the 8.25 housing.

Here are some pictures from the day.

I started myself on fire a few times ;)
