I apologize for not responding on this thread sooner, it had been crazy for us leading up to Moab and while there, I simply had no time to catch up on things. Having said that...

Thank you, it's hard to imagine that up until a few years ago, wayoflifette had never even picked up a video camera let alone edited anything.

But we eventually got it back together and hit it on Billings Canyon. It no has RCV's.
Great video WOL and WOLette.
You and your brother were real troopers working on that rig of yours

4" lift would be fine.
Truss those axles, and have locker(s) front/rear.

Well, end result was that we ended having a great time!!
Who would have thunk that would have been cutting off your winch. Still, I learned something from it

Crew? LOL, for the making of this film, there was wayoflifette and that was just about it.

No way, that is so cool that your Grandmother used to work there. Very cool place.

Now I've been setting here, day after day, dreaming about the build and the adventures after I get home. Only two and half months left!

Oh, and I'd like my new hoodie in XXL please.
Please stay safe and come back home soon

Gas is a killer right now and by the look of the attendance at Moab this year, I think everyone is feeling the pinch.

Cant wait to get over there and go play with you guys and girls

So we can dress up all pretty and go 4 wheel driving

Wendy watched the video with me and said if we ever got over there we would have to grap two JK's cause there is no way she would ever sit in the passenger seat she would want to drive all the way and there would be no way I would ever pass up a great opportunity like that

You guys rock

Remember you are always welcome to come over here and come play with us JK or no JK
LOL!! Sounds like you have a keeper

As Always, KEEP IT TIGHT!!!
Well, ya gotta know that it is pretty rare to find a watering hole that carries the good stuff

I wish my JK had a taller lift and bigger tires (it's now at 3 1/2 inches and 35 inches, respectively) so that I could justify applying for a future trip. Even if joining you never comes to pass, I'm getting plenty of ideas--and plenty of encouragement--from your videos.
Well, I do hope that it will come to pass some day

Now shes planning a mod for a Jeep she doesnt have yet! Mine isnt even paid for yet. I'm going to be a broke man!
So long as she's doing the planning, it's all good

You'd really enjoy it and, if you can do it, you should.

I hope you can be patient with us. Moab set us back a bit and so it won't be coming out for at least another week. Sorry.

In the background there's a sign that says " No Playing On The Rocks" Tell that to a bunch of Jeepers!!
Good eye and yes, the sign is ironic.

How cool is that. It was a real pleasure to pass through your neck of the woods.
