With all the weather networks calling for a Pineapple Express and 3-5 inches of rain we decided it was a great time to get out for some rock crawling! The Pathmaker Rig was back in the shop with turning left problems, so I climbed back in with Sean in his Mercedes OM617 Diesel powered Toyota buggy and we headed out with the Suzuki Samurai buggies and Jim in his Toyota buggy for an epic day of trail wheeling and barbecuing.

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!
Got the Pathmaker out for its first Shakedown Run after the EFI swap and it turned into an epic day in the woods. Three rigs in the group for the run, Jim’s linked Exo-caged Toyota Buggy and Nicks beauty 1985 Suzuki Samurai buggy and of course the Pathmaker Rig. 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 →
For the second year in a row I went down to the Reiter Rock Crawl and once again it did not disappoint. The 4th running of the event featured 3 classes of rigs. A Stock-Mod Class, a Sportsmen Class and an Unlimited class. Continue reading →
We went out with a serious group of rock buggies for some backcountry trail wheeling. With an awesome group of ricks including the MogStang, the Rotten LS Powered 4 wheel steering buggy, 3 Toyota buggies and 2 Suzuki buggies it was shaping up to be an epic day in the woods! Continue reading →
After having to leave Mikes big block Ford buggy in the woods for a few nights it was time to get out and drag that fat girl home. This time with Jon in his oneton Toyota buggy with some modified skidder chains and Mike in his Toyota diffed Suzuki buggy. With two 33″ tires strapped to Mikes rig, a bunch of extra straps, batteries, hand tools we headed back up the trail. Only a few days had gone by but it was a completely different trail. Most of the snow was gone and the few inches that were left were soft.
Even tho we live in Canada, we live in the warm and wet side of the country so we don’t get a ton of snow in the winter. With a fresh dump of over a foot and a ton of unprepared people the town practically shuts down. So it was a great excuse to do some mid-week, Snow Day Trail Wheelin!
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 →
After snapping my knuckle in half during my last wheeling trip. Getting a spare one brought out to me by my buddy Jon and limping my rig home. Back in the shop I pulled the front axle apart and noticed that of course the drivers side knuckle had some huge cracks in it. Looks like I was very close to breaking a second time on one trip!

My rusty old fenders decided that they had had enough, finally crumpling, pushing into the sidewalls of two of my brand new trailer tires, (literally first tow) which in turn destroyed the sidewalls of the tires and prompted a trailer fender rebuild.
My rig is fat, real fat. It doesn’t fit between the wheel wells of my trailer. Which means that every time I load my rig I have to drive one tire up and over the fenders. I get to choose the side but I’ve got to pick one. Over the years that has crushed my rusty old fenders. So it was time to cut the old fenders off, grab a few sticks of pipe and bend up a few bars. Then I can drive over the bars which will take the weight a lot better, plus if I’m smart I’ll be able to reuse the old steel from the old fenders because I’m cheap and buying new metal is expensive!
