    Mental health: it’s ok to talk.

    My brother-in-law took his own life yesterday. His challenges started almost a year ago, some health issues plus alcohol addiction led to losing a job at a family company he was banking his career on (other side of the family). This put a major strain on his relationship with that family. Had...

    Favorite Zion/St George area hike

    Our favorite trails in StG are Red Reef (near Quail Creek), The Vortex and the Maze (both in dammeron valley). All are pretty easy family hikes close to town. Most trails in Zion trump those 3, but we didn’t go into the park often when we lived there, for obvious reasons.

    Rock Slide Engineering slider install -- '21 Gladiator (JT)

    :cool: My kiddos and wife like the step. I do like what Greg pointed out about bolster wear. I certainly don’t think of them as rocker protection. They seem pretty thin skinned, and at $2k they’re a pricey slider. My drivers side doesn’t like the cold, they don’t fully retract and slow down. I...

    Duck Jeep? WTF??

    I daily drive a JK on 37s in Moab, and I just haven’t seen this 🤔 Since this thread started I’ve only even seen one Jeep with a duck on the dashboard. Is the internet just blowing it out of proportion? Is it a wasatch front thing?

    Trip Report The Pickle w/ Vonski

    Next time you’re in town with an empty passenger seat I’d love to tag along. I considered bringing out the minivan, but last time we ran the pickle in a stock rig it ended up with some body damage (14 years ago?!?)

    Fuel Tax Increase 1/1/23

    I generally favor fees over taxation. While gas tax is certainly a tax not a fee, it is more closely tied to usage than other revenue sources that are used for road repairs/replacements. Asphalt costs increase with oil prices, so it seems appropriate to me that the gas tax should increase when...

    Wanted Jeep Fleetvan, FC, or old bread type delivery van

    Is it worth more because they left it in the weeds?

    Your Pic of The Day

    Build quality seems on par, maybe slightly better than other mid-range units (still not great). Perfect ride height and not too long, tows easily through rough stuff. It got a little squishy when we had our 3rd kid, but we’ve made it work. My favorite part is no slide. Had a bad experience with...

    Your Pic of The Day

    I spent a few days out of cell service with the kids. We hit cell service when we got close to I70 and my phone started blowing with missed messages from work. Between damage to pedestrian bridges, stream banks, water main breaks, we’re easily millions of $’s in damage to public...

    Your Pic of The Day

    I’ve always wondered how these big damaged tracks are found? I assume it’s not a train hauling cargo, as it probably wouldn’t have time to stop? Do people just drive all the routes after major weather events but before another load is hauled on those tracks?

    I want to hate it, but I kind of like it. Spotted this guy all tucked away today.

    Today I Want This....

    My sister was born in a C130 over the Mediterranean. I didn’t think much of that story as a kid, but now as a parent I can’t even imagine :rofl:
