The restoration/modification of Daisy.

Some good wheeling around Kolob reservoir on top of Smith Mesa. Good camping as well.
I've lived in So Utah for years and when the weather is nice is when you don't go to Zion. Wait until it is cold or the dead of summer.
Another good place for hiking is Kolob Canyon.
The sub sure looks good though.

i havent been to Zion but maybe 3 times in the last 10yrs now, seems like every time i go, there are new rules and more people. i should have known. thanks and you're right, there's a lot to play around on up around kolob, we're gonna spend more time up there.

Good job man! Glad you are enjoying the fruits of your labor!

thanks, i sure am. now get your suspension and stuff straightened out so you can too!

Here's to many more fun adventures! (and keep practicing the trip reports :thumb:)

will do.
 
you know what i noticed after the last trip to UT? my front springs don't make noise anymore. its really nice to drive through a parking lot without people looking at your because your truck is making popping/clunking noises.
 
Now that is a plus! I hate it when the little things like squeaky springs happen... Or in my Jimmy's case; windows that don't roll down.....

My widow seals and door locks are the biggest nuisance nice now. Seals whistle and let the windows rattle, locks aren't powered yet, still have some wiring left to do.

Nice! My front springs pop. Its embarrassing.

Get out and flex it up!
 
daisy is heading north for the third weekend in 4 weeks tomorrow. just up to Logandale NV, 70mi from my house. we're going out to Logandale trails, a popular local wheeling spot, for an RC rock crawling competition. (miles and miles of sandstone and some small dunes.) i'm taking the back road from Henderson, through lake mead state recreation area through Overton NV into Logandale. it's a nice windy road with great scenery, i'll get some photos along the way and at the final location.
 
Dang man! I'd totally come since my Jimmy is in Overton but tomorrow night is the drags!!
 
It's great that your Bride likes to drive it. Mine won't even consider driving mine...:dunno:

I swear I saw your Jimmy out there at Logandale trails today!

Yeah she digs the suburban, she's the reason I've been able to build it.

I hit the road at about 6:30 this morning, the back road from Henderson to Logandale is fun, it's 68mi from my house to where we were at today and in the stretch I saw 4 other vehicles on that road. I'll take that over I-15 any day. I tried to take some pictures along the way but didn't get many. Once we got there we just ran the RC cars and didn't do any full size wheeling. I don't have skid plates or and armor yet so I'm in no hurry to go rock crawlin.

Yeah buddy. Looks like a great day.
I've been thinking of returning to the RC comp scene.
 
Hey man, good hanging out with you the other night. Daisy looks sweet in person. I meant to tell you about the time I made a guy hit the wall on the freeway by your exit. Pretty funny story. I'll tell you next time.
