I'll be with a friend next week who lives in Flagstaff who ordered a Punk'N the day they became available. Black top and fenders and manual transmission. We'll be driving El Camino del Diablo from Ajo to Yuma. Couple months ago in the Gila National Forest, NM ...

Day 2 of Big Bend Explorations is now online. Guale campsites in Big Bend Ranch State Park to Tres Papalotes, with an out and back on The Road to Nowhere ...

I'll be sure to wave when I pass you in my (more rare) Gobi. ;-)

I'll go into detail in a studio chat at the end of the Big Bend Explorations series. Should be released in a few days.

It's a great area for overland travel and exploration. Where do you plan to visit? Have you been before? If not, perhaps my videos will give you some ideas. Day 1, through Pinto Canyon and out to Guale campsites in Big Bend Ranch State Park, is now online ...

Day 1 video is now online. It covers Marfa through Pinto Canyon to Riudosa, then over to Guale campsites in Big Bend Ranch State Park.

Yes and no. I don't generally give out .gpx files, if that's what you're asking. Sometimes they are commercially available, and I'll point one towards those resources. Other times, I place enough information online (road names, map images, permit agencies, etc) for my trips that it's easy for...

Took my Gladiator on its maiden overlanding adventure last week to the Big Bend region of Texas. Venues included Pinto Canyon, Guale campsites and Road to Nowhere in Big Bend Ranch State Park, River Road East and West and Black Gap Road in Big Bend National Park, as well as a few other...

The teaser video for Big Bend Explorations--my Gladiator's maiden overlanding adventure--is now online ....

Yep, agree with what others wrote. 27-1/2 years USAF. Aircrew in Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Bosnia.

Yes.

Spent the past few days in Big Bend region of Texas. Pinto Canyon, Road to Nowhere, Black Gap Rd in the national park (a Jeep hero badge trail for those interested in that sort of thing), etc. Great trip with some great folks. If you read "Overland Journal", the rig on the cover of the latest...

Okay, two folks order their Jeeps from the factory from two different dealers in two different states. And, in my case, I order through fleet sales, not retail sales. There were no dealer upgrades on either Jeep. Nope, I have to think that something else is why we both have the lock, and...

Always drive defensively. Just yesterday on way to Big Bend. I'm in front of the Jeep, and was also run onto the shoulder by this fellow. Speeds 75 MPH ...

That's housing for the adaptive cruise control sensor. There's a plastic cover to put over it to protect it if driving with windshield down.

Didn't mean to sound like I was challenging you. I'm more lamenting the demise of MTs in the U.S. And there is still a strong market for manuals in Europe.

Hmm. Interesting. Mine sure did. It was a bit of a comedy. Was getting new wheels and tires and no one at Discount could get my spare out. I wasn't sure, so was reading manual on how to lower. But had just returned from an overlanding trip with a friend who has a new Gladiator, and I...

A clarification: They are not on their way out worldwide. https://www.statista.com/statistics/204123/transmission-type-market-share-in-automobile-production-worldwide/ Edit: Okay, that link is now throwing up a paywall that covers the chart. But, the chart shows that clearly manual...

That's a great suggestion. Also, you can inspect the condition of the cable. I had one on my F-150 break, dropping the spare to the ground. Fortunately, on a stretch of rough dirt road. I didn't even know it until someone found the tire and returned it to me (we were camped nearby).

You also need the key--basically an adapter like for a wheel lock that goes on the end of the crank to engage the winch. It will be in a separate package upon delivery.
