Bikes, Blues and BBQ Rally   This Friday morning 9/18/2015, we leave bright and early on the Harley for Fayetteville, Arkansas. If we’re nearby you, look for us and say Hi if you see us…   Here are 3 slideshows of the bazillion pictures we took on our trip…   This slideshow...

Well this started out as a few friendly invites on Facebook, that blossomed into nearly eighty invitees. In the end there were only six rigs to show up.   The preliminary trail line up for the weekend. Saturday 7/25/15 We’ll take the 1000 rd to Butcher Knife or 642 to Divide Ridge 615,...

Our previous post had a lot of pictures we made into a slide show, so grab some coffee or your favorite 6 pack and enjoy the videos!  ...

Brown Santa, Northridge 4×4, and Les Schwab got together just in time for our Tillamook Forest run with some new ATX “Chamber Pro”  aluminum beadlock  wheels, and Mastercraft (Cooper) 37×12.50×17 Courser MTX...

Memorial Day Weekend 2015 (Cont.) Sunday, May 24, 2015 We got our start around 9 am however,  it would take us a good 4 or 5 hours with gas and store stops to traverse the distance between Evans and Elbe Hills, but it was a nice sunny day. We chose to drive into the park only to be denied...

Memorial Day Weekend 2015 Friday, May 22, 2015 We (BryansFab & Livin4Today) had been planning this pre-run for months and now it was upon us and the plan was to rollout early Friday morning and get to Evans Creek OHV before dark, to set up camp in the daylight. The forecast called for...

I believe I mentioned that we were waiting on some wedding pics to arrive, and they have. So we got them scanned to share with you too. If you like them please give us feedback on Facebook, hope you enjoy...

The Ad on Craigslist 1995 Jeep Cherokee (XJ), 265k original, hard to find 4.0/5 speed combo. Newer 96, WJ motor put in in last 8 months, only 110,000 miles, Rebuilt Tranny & Transfer, AC, Tinted Windows, Stereo, Sliders, Reinforced Subframe (Stiffeners front to rear), 4.10s, locked up...

April 27th; I took a little extra time to get out of town, it seems the heated gear I bought (and don’t like – too confining), had a battery connection that caused the bolts to loosen up, given me trouble starting/charging the bike. So I tore the seat off and tightened a few loose...

The Wedding As I mentioned previously, we were dealing with a crazy rain storm that pelted Vegas, and killed our observation deck plans, but plan b was just as fun, getting married indoors, not freezing and getting all wet in our wedding garb suited us just fine. There are other shots of the...

  April 25th; So the plan all along was to cut our Laughlin trip short by a day, as we had reservations at the Stratosphere Las Vegas for two nights. And these would be the most important nights of the whole trip. We got rolling fairly early and thought shirt sleeves would be the order of the...

April 23rd & 24th (they sort of ran together); Today we leave Greenwood Country (my Uncle’s hacienda in paradise), and move up to the Aquarius Hotel & Casino, Laughlin, NV for the Laughlin River Run. It just happens that my Uncles crew wanted to do a little recon on the...

April 21st; Excited to get rolling today, Mandi says she’d like to swing by Flagstaff and hit the Harley Store. A little back story here, I have a rule on Harley Apparel. If you didn’t ride there you don’t get the shirt, mainly because I have WAY TOO MANY! Now instead of...

April 20th; After a relaxing night in Page’s Rodeway Inn, and a hot complimentary breakfast, we continued south to the Park entrance. Today would be extra stressful, as we were on the clock. I had put in for a new job, and had a phone interview at 4:00 pm. So needless to say we sort...

April 19th; So our evening at Mesquite was uneventful, other than it being a pet friendly hotel and listening to dogs barking for a while. We caught about an hour of a local band in the lounge, and called it a night. The next morning we start a new adventure, first we rode north on I-15 to St...

The plan was to meet Mandi at LAS and ride around the Grand Canyon, visit family in Topock, AZ, and catch the Laughlin River Run, returning to Vegas to get married…   April 16th; I left on the bike choosing a route down I-5 as it would be warmer than running i-84 to I-15 through Utah...

November 30th and December 1st found us once again in the Manastash Mountains for the club’s annual Freeze Your Buns Run, however this year the snow just wasn’t participating as it had in years past. So we did it in the rain (again). Once we got way up near the top we found our...

Mandi & I are contemplating exactly how we want to reach our 150,000 mile goal on Jaded this coming year, after having a wildly fun time this past September.  So we’ve come up with a couple of actual famed Motorcycle Runs we plan to hit. First Ride- The Laughlin River Run, Laughlin, NV....

Over the weekend of October 3-5, we joined our Jeep club the Peak Putters of Tri-Cities on a run to the Nile River Valley and surrounding mountains known as the Naches Pass for some good camping, and wheeling. And Mandi’s maiden voyage in this area for Xaria (her new to her) 95 Cherokee...

We spent about 9 days  (Sep 13-22) on the bike visiting friends and family in So Cal. We also squeezed in some rides thru central Cali’s Sierra Mountains. Here is a 5.5 minute video of the collection of pics we took while out...

The “MandiWagon” DOESN’T Go to RIMROCK Aug 8,9,10 2014 This run got off to a rough start…. JK Lance and Bryan worked tirelessly to get my XJ ready, but it just wasn’t to be…. And at 8 PM Friday, the time we thought we would be pulling into camp; we made the decision to go with...

Having had our Jeep JK Unlimited Saharicon for two plus years now, I’ve followed many blogs, forums and the like on Jeeping. The Rubicon Trail is the iconic trail of trails for Jeepers, much like Sturgis, SD is to bikers (been there done that 6 or 7 times). So of course The Rubicon...

So for almost the last 2 years I’ve been running Smittybuilt XRC Sliders on Julia. I’ve given them a hard ride and taken a lot of good natured ribbing on my Outriggers as they are affectionately known by my club members. Here is the beginnings of the new sliders… This...

Every year about the time the trails (closed for snowmobiling) open back up to us 4 Wheeling types (Apr 12 & 13) The Peak Putters (our 4wd club) calls a run to Darland Mountain, near Yakima. We were fortunate enough to tag along this year, camping in our Moho and putting Julia through...

We put together a slide show of Julia from start until present...

From the beginning (12/28/2011) and up until this year (2014), Julia has remained gothed out (totally Black);   After 2 years we started noticing in our pictures how difficult it was to make out many of my cool features on Julia (the JKU Saharicon), so we dressed the girl up a little, some...

We’ve had Julia all “gothed” out in Black for the last two years now, so it was time for a facelift of sorts… So we gave her some highlights to really make her pop out compared to the other rigs we run with. We added some silver highlights as well as a touch of red,...

Mandi called a Forest Service Road 1302 Snow Run, so we invited the club, both members and non-members as well as our Yakima friends from Eastern Washington Adventures. The turn out as you’ll see was terrific, 13 rigs in all. The snow is lacking horribly this year, but after we got up...

Wow what an amazing trip! We trailered the Jeep up with our Motorhome and set up camp a day early with our buddy Mike O’Brien aka “Irish.” The next morning the rest of our club members showed up in the rain and we took on the infamous Aardvark Hill, a part of the Naches...

Friday, Sep. 27, 2013 The initial idea was to go to Rimrock and run the Grey Rock trail… But stuff happens and we lost Yrjan due to Iulia having to work BIG BUMMER! However, another friend Troy {Silver JK on 40s}, was going up the other side to Naches/Nile area, so we Myself, Ms Mandi...
