We went back to Hot Springs Offroad Park again this year for their New Years Eve ride, Fire and Ice. We had a great group of Jeeps, RZRs, and UTVs from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. This was new terrain for most of the UTV drivers, but everyone did great. It ended up being pretty wet this year, but that didn't stop us from having a killer time. This place never disappoints.

I have always heard how much fun the Fire and Ice Ride at Hot Springs is. This year, I made it a point to make the trip up to Arkansas. Even though it was freezing cold and wet, the trails were a blast and it was great to see friends. Day one was met with a little bit of a hiccup, but we managed to get a good bit of riding in on the second day. We rode some of our favorite trails and some that were new to us. The slick conditions added a fun challenge to the weekend and we had a big time.

I am ready for 2021 and all that it will bring. Here's to another year of wheeling! Cheers!

In this video we visit Hot Springs ORV Park in Arkansas. This trip was extra special because Lindsey was able to make it AND some of our best friends were taking their newly purchased Jeeps on their first trail ride. Like always, when this crew gets together, we had a blast. The weather was perfect for primitive camping and adventures in the Jeeps.

Will, in the JK, and Garret, in the JLUR, both did great navigating their Jeeps through the trails. We mostly rode the level 3 trails, which are challenging from time to time and allowed them to gain lots of driving experience. After a few more upgrades and some seat time, they will both be ready to push their Jeeps further very soon.

For me, this trip did not go 100% as planned. The camping van blew the head gasket right before we left and the power steering pump in the TJ went out on the very first trail. We made the best of it and rode passenger with Lauren and Garret the remainder of the day. AutoZone was able to get a new pump that evening, so we got it swapped out and the Jeep was ready to wheel on day two.

I was super pumped that everyone had such a great time and enjoyed the wheeling experience. It's awesome to see people fall even more in love with their Jeeps and the lifestyle. Hopefully we can make this an annual couples wheeling trip.

Thanks for watching!

Locked Jeep TJ Wrangler on 35s FINALLY makes it up the slab section of the 4 Fingers trail. After a ton of rain the day before, this slab was slick as hell. This was a fun spot because it was basically "send it and hope you stick". The longer wheelbases made it a little easier than I did, but it was challenging for everyone. Took about 20 attempts at this wall before it bounced just right. Next set of tires will be stickies!

Suzuki Samurai vs The People. My buddy CJ brought his (new to him) Sami on coil springs and 33s on our recent trip to Hot Springs ORV Park. He worked himself into a situation on H18 where he couldn't really go forward or backwards without a flop. The spot that he flopped in wasn't really accessible with a Jeep so we used man power to recover it. A few body panels were harmed in the making of this video.

The New Year's Ever Fire and Ice ride at Hot Springs is one of our favorites of the year. The riding is great and we always manage to have a knock-out crew with us. This year was quite possibly the best yet, because the weather was much warmer than previous years. This ride is about making memories with friends and making sure that everyone has an enjoyable time. With a wide range of offroad vehicles in our group, we are selective about the trails that we hit. We always want to challenge everyone's rigs while also staying safe.
This year we hit some really fun trails and I'm pretty certain that the UTV boys spend more time with 3 wheels on the ground than 4, but they killed it. We did a lot of work on CJ's Sami last year and it was great to finally watch that thing kill it on the trails.

Trails hit on this trip (some not in the video): Part of Snake, Part of Rock Fink Ravine, Bilstein Ravine, E18, Brandon's Run, Buckhorn North, Sardine Ravine, Gorge, Jim's Overlook, Quartz Canyon, Fun Run, Go Mud'n, Bubba's Stump

Since I haven't posted anything in a while and the Jeep is still torn down waiting on parts for the stretch, I started digging in the vault to see what I could find. I stumbled across this 14 year old footage from our very first trip to an offroad park. This trip changed mine and Lindsey's life and sparked what would become years of traveling, sight seeing, new friendships, new adventures, and lots and lots of hours in the shop upgrading this Jeep and learning how to fab and build.

I have had this Jeep since 1999 and had ridden plenty of, what we would now consider extremely light, trails around Memphis and the Tennessee River where I grew up. This 2010 trip to Superlift ORV Park was a step up from that and a dream come true. For years I had wanted to hit more technical trails, as I had worshipped JP Magazine and Peterson since middle school.

We are blessed to have found something that has led to such amazing memories in our life. It's awesome to look back at these clips and see how simple our setup was back then and how much fun we were having. I have been slowly building this TJ since I was 15 years old (now about to be 40) and if I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't build this Jeep any faster than I did or skip any of the stages that it has been at. In this video the Jeep literally only has a lift and tires. No rockers, no skid, no winch, and definitely no lockers on the stock Dana 30/35 axle combo. I have wheeled this Jeep on 31s, 32s, 33s, 35s, and now 37s on its 2nd axle swap.

I say all of this to say, "get out there and wheel". Enjoy your Jeep. Learn to drive. Hone your skills. Learn to wrench. Learn the ideas behind the design of the Jeep and why things work the way they do. Learn what makes it better. Learn what makes it worse. THIS is where life happens. This is the true culture behind the Jeep and offroad lifestyle.

So many Jeep owners in today's world have missed the journey. With the rise of social media, it is too easy to see the big popular Jeeps and go straight to building giant rigs. I love these insane builds as much as anyone, but the fun is in the journey. Don't skip the good stuff. Some of the best trips ever were these first trips with minimal builds. Of course I love where our TJ is at now and the EPIC trips that we are now able to take because of how it has evolved, but the knowledge learned along the way is irreplaceable. It has come a very long way and hopefully it still has a long way to go.

These clips got me feeling all nostalgic over here! Enjoy!

Four Fingers is always a must-hit trail, and this year it brought the heat during the Fire and Ice event. The park has seen some major changes since last time—whether it’s from the growing popularity or heavy rains, the terrain is noticeably different. Deeper holes, shifted boulders, and new challenges made for an exciting ride.

The slab on Four Fingers proved to be the ultimate test. Some big rocks at the base have moved, making it tough to get the momentum needed for the left-side line. Running water and slick rocks also added to the challenge. I gave it everything I had, even trying a line I never thought I’d attempt, but the slab got the better of me this time. The rest of the trail was smooth sailing and just as fun as ever.
