If this keeps up that makes it temping to buy some Rubi take offs again. Maybe I will start with taking some of my gear out to lighten it a little more.
The loss of those refineries was partially due to your Governor. 90% of the fuel for the US comes from the US and Canada. Your Governor is also wanting to hold back fuel from NV and AZ to have more for California.
I just paid $5.69 for fuel yesterday. I drive 70 miles round trip for my commute. These oil companies are the ones holding us hostage to the war. We get less than 5% of our oil from that region.
That sucks that you had to go through that. I too stay away from large runs. My Jeep isn't huge by any means and I don't want to destroy on a run, if I can help it.
There are a lot of trails around the Vegas area! There are some out and backs, like Eldorado Canyon, which narrows. There are some large loops, like Lava Butte. If you get OnX offroad it will show you plenty of trails. There are groups around that have runs almost every weekend.
