Rampart Range Road, Colorado
It’s a cool fall morning in Colorado, James and I get an early start to the day. We get on County Road 38 in Castle Rock, Colorado which will join Forest Road 502.

After completing T-33 Crash Trail, James and we start the trek back to Castle Rock. Continueing down Colorado 72, Peaks to Peaks Highway. This is a paved road that winds through the mountains.

WhenContinue reading “American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) Hi-Lift/Pull-Pal Mount”
Steering Stabilizer Replacement

As it turns out, the original boot on the shock had ripped andContinue reading “Steering Stabilizer Replacement”

They used them on their tanks and cars to get cleaner air from above the vehicle, avoiding sand and dust. They are also used for deep waterContinue reading “American expedition Vehicles (AEV) Raised Air Intake-Snorkel”
