    Let's get some videos going too! Walk arounds, cool mods, how toos, camp sites, trail driving, throw the videos here. Just discovered my dad posted this video of me driving Grumpy at Badlands Off Road Park from a couple years back. Van has 2" lift, 31" and rear LSD.

    I've been lame...

    Grumpy's front suspension has been pulled apart for almost a year. Green runs great, but has seen too many salty winters. I bought a cheap Blazer to flip for profit, but ended driving it. Between my vehicles and my wife's Jeep, I spend way too much time wrenching. Thus, I've pretty much...

    KE100 - Slow ride Chicago to Pacific Northwest

    My wife primarily works as a school photographer, as such she's laid off for a couple months each summer. In 2012 and 2013 she's taken this time to fly to Alaska and volunteer at some farms in exchange for room and board. I was fortunate enough in 2013 to drive one of my vans up with my Husky...

    Astro wheeling report: Badlands ORP - Apr 14, 2012

    My wife's Jeep group scheduled an outing at the Badlands Off Road Park and are always inclusive, so I showed up with Grumpy.

    Yeti spotted riding a Tiger GT

    Kyle (Basement Yeti) arrived at my place around 5 PM yesterday in his 1994 Provan Tiger GT Astro 2WD (named Bones). Spent a bit over an hour crawling in/over/under the van and pulled ODB code 35 (Idle Air Control) from the computer. Tiger has a lot of sloppy caulking done to it and a few of the...
