I began my off-road adventures as a "Toyota guy", then later crossed the dark side when I bought a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I went nuts traveling the country, wheeling in numerous states and especially loved the heavy/moderate trails in Texas, Utah and especially the Rubicon Trail. I then transitioned to a 2019 Rubicon, then a 2021 Diesel Rubicon. Through those years my preferences refined to where I found I especially loved the desert in the Big Bend region, and focused my efforts documenting therein. These days I'm in a 2022 392 XR and loving every minute of it!
