  • In this episode, we find ourselves in the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. Things kick off at basecamp, in our Winnebago Revel, and then I head off in the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to explore the backcountry in search of a good cross-country route. I discover some interesting features in the desert, spend the night with cheeseburgers at a scenic campsite. Then, the next day some challenging terrain puts the Jeep to the test!

    This is what I enjoy about your videos... You keep it real... No editing out all of the short comings or mishaps. I also appreciate your candid approach to off- roading. I have certainly pick up a few tips by watching your videos. Thanks for your dedication to content and keeping it real. Happy Holidays and safe travels. Perry

    ‘Dead ends are just new beginnings’. So true. Backtracking means I get to see the path I have traveled from a totally new perspective. And so often I encounter amazing new sights!

    If nothing else… a skid to protect your oil pan and the transmission cooler lines serves well. I have one made by MORE. Haven’t needed it many times, but glad I had it when I needed it.

    We have a brand new front skid plate you're more than welcome to. It has never been out of the box, but the box looks like crap from getting wet. We are in Tucson if you're interested.

    Arizona has obstacles and scenery that are second to none. The are harder to locate than Moab, often hidden up tight canyons. Try Florence Junction, Four Peaks, and Log Corral Canyon.

    FYI: You don't need to up-armor... much. LCA and shock skids, and put some decent pumpkin covers on. I imagine a UHMB slider on that fuel tank would be just fine for you. Cheap, light, and effective for an overlander.
