With fog in the air we headed back out on the trail for another day of back country rock crawling with the boys. I was in the Nissan Pathmaker Rig and was joined by Jim in his Toyota Buggy, Riley in his FJ40 Landcrusier rig, Kevin in his Suzuki Samurai and Todd in another Toyota 4×4.
After a long night drinking whiskey shots it was time to load up the rigs and head out for a day of rock crawling at the Heights. What better cure for a hangover than a bunch of redline!
Time for another year end highlight video! With all goings on this year I was short on competition wheeling but I made up for it with lots of backcountry trail wheeling and rock crawling!
Mounting a snowplow on my rock crawler!
Living up on the mountain and snow is now a part of my life for months of the year. Last year I was not prepared so this year I decided to build a snow plow for my rock crawler, the Pathmaker Rig. Using a rusty old hitch and some welding wire I fabbed up an 84″ K2 Avalanche snowplow for my rig and even got a chance to test it out!
With the rain pouring down and all the boys busy I hopped into the Pathmaker rig with Mrs. Pathmaker and we headed to the Heights to cut some more new trails on the property. With the plan for a casual day of wheeling quickly going sideways it turned into the usual sort of show, some winching, some redline and a lot of fun out in the yard!
It was a cold wet day off work so we decided to take a couple rigs out for a few hours of backcountry trail wheeling.
Sean was in his OM617 Mercedes Diesel powered Toyota rig and Kevin was in his Suzuki Samurai buggy. We hit a few trails, had a lot of laughs and didn’t break anything, good day on the trail! Continue reading →
We’ve been cutting new trails in the yard at Pathmaker Heights and it was time to share with the boys and have them out for a day of rock crawling. Continue reading →
It was time for another day of back country trail wheeling and bbqing with the boys so we got together at Jim’s house again before heading out into the woods. With cloudy skies but dry rocks it was looking like it would be a good traction sort of day. Continue reading →
With some wet weather in the month of September signalling the start of wheeling season we got together for some back country wheeling with Team No Stickies. Continue reading →
With my knuckles back on the Pathmaker Rig it was time to shift from “need to” projects to a few “want to” projects. The PSC Full Hydro steering on my rig has been working great for me, except that my pump likes to get nice and hot and whine after some hard use.
Happy New Years everyone…2018 was a great year for trail wheeling. With many back country trips as well as trips to my favourite OHV Park, Frogstompers and even a trip for some Competition wheeling with the Back Door Fab team down to Washington State.
Of course season of wheeling leads to some epic video as well as a ton of fantastic photos. Continue reading →
It was finally time to get around to installing the windshield that I pulled out of the Project Cheapfinder in a previous BLOG POST and toss it into the Pathmaker rig. Never having done it before this was going to be an interesting learning experience for me. My good friend Rich owns a glass shop in Kamloops BC Family Glass and he gave me a few pointers on what I should do. Of course I completely forgot everything he said right away so any screw ups are definitely my fault! Continue reading →
