My wife and I are finally able to go wheeling more often. We got to spend the weekend at the Oregon Dunes. Here are a couple of fun videos. Perspective is tough, so it's hard to tell just how steep and tight these sections are. My wife is great to wheel with because she always sounds this excited. :)


















Here's another...

















Fun weekend.

Finally... A really nice family had gotten stuck on a high dune. It was in a really rough area where their options were limited. A bit of a giant sand bowl was right below them. I edged around and winched them just far enough to be able to cruise down right beside me. I gave them a duck as well. :)

Where are you at? Sand Lake, Florence, Winchester Bay, North Bend?

In Florence... That's a regular haunt for us. Beautiful day. There was a big Bronco event going on as well... so lots of old and new Broncos.

Florence is a blast. Glad you got to take your Jeep out there!

Here are a few from the trail cam. A couple of these, I call, "Oh Honey". That's the phrase my wife utters often when we're hitting exciting areas. She even does it if we've already been there before.

I love your wife, she makes the videos so much more fun.

Tell me about your setup.

You look like you got around way better than I did in my JLURD last time I was down there. Can't wait to get the Gladiator out in the sand.

Yeah, she's a blast. When she screams, "we don't know what's on the other side", that was our third time around that hill that day. :)

I'm running a 2.5 inch Rubicon Express lift with Fox 2.0 shocks, RockJock steering system, and a Bilstein damper, on 37 inch Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MTs. I just installed 5.13 gears a couple weeks ago. This was the first time out with the new gears (after breaking them in), and it made a world of difference. I run at 12psi when I'm on these dunes.

Great videos, the soundtrack is perfect! Your wife’s comments offset by the sound of the exhaust. ?
Looks like a beautiful area - we don’t have that in eastern PA.
