Read MoreRuby Falls (Part II) – An Overlanding Adventure
Last winter I joined a large group with a common goal: To get to Ruby Falls. We failed to achieve our goal. To say I was diaspointed was an understatement. To go all that way, and to battle as hard as we did only to barely make it to the half-way point was a bitter pill to swallow.

Read MoreThe Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Part II) – An Overlanding Adventure
Last winter a group of perfect strangers joined me on a short over landing adventure to what ice climbers call “The good, The Bad, and The Ugly”. For us in the off-roading community it’s known simply as “Ghost Falls”. Last winter, we were fighting the elements the entire way; deep snow impeded our progress. Not everyone was up for he battle against mother nature. Only 5 of us made it all the way to the falls.

I’ve owned a hi-lift jack for quite some time, but when I go wheeling, I always ended up just tossing it into the back of my Jeep. I did this because I just don’t like any of the external mounting options; mainly due to the fact that the jack tends to rust in the wrong places and also, it’s another thing I have to worry about getting stolen.

Read MoreLong-Term Test: Smittybilt XRC Tailgate
I’ve had the Smittybilt XRC Tailgate on my Jeep for just over a year now; and I felt it was time for a long-term review. Now, I am aware that this product has been discontinued by Smittybilt however, they are still readily available on Amazon as well as eBay. They are also a fantastic product if you run 35-37 inch tires and don’t want to run a seperate tire carrier. There are also lots of JKs out there on the used market that just might have one of these tailgates installed.
So I feel this review isn’t entirely useless.
Checkout how my Tailgate faired after a busy season of wheeling!
