2014 During 2013 we went through the D44 replacing ball joints, bearing and brakes. The rear end got new brakes and a Yukon Grizzly locker. Finally ditch the spool. Looking forward to some new adventures this year!

2006 It's been a great year here in Arizona. My camera got stolen and I haven't been able to replace it yet. I have been using a Canon Sureshot for most of this year. Still spending a lot of time racing the AMRA series on the dirtbike. Finally fixed the broken leaf spring on the back of the bronco. I would like to say thank you very much to Jim Creel of Wildhorses 4x4 for awesome customer service on the replacement of the broken leaf. Should be seeing alot more of the bronco again!!!

| 2005 Been kind of a slow year for 4 wheeling. Had some maintenance to do on the ole Bronco. Also been spending quite a bit of time on the dirt bike. But we knocked the cobwebs and bird crap off the Bronco and she's back on the road! Just a little body mount reinforcing and she's sitting level again! |

| 2004 After 14 years the wiring of an auxiliary fuse block finally gave up the ghost. I had to install an 18 circuit spade style fuse block and all brand new home runs to the accessories. It's amazing how quick it can become a mess wiring tachs, lights, fans, winches, rock lights, stereo, etc. I was able to get it all bundled up for Moab. Also installed some Wild Horse Extreme Axles in the front end. The new MTRs seem to be pretty durable and sticky. We'll see how this year goes! Stay Tuned! |

2003
brand new year! Some challenges right off the bat! Blow by
issue with the Bronco engine is getting hard to bear. We had to do
a
motor rebuild. We met up with our Utah friends
for the 3rd annual pilgrimage to the Arizona rocks. We made it to
the Arizona Bronco Stampede. I rode with Vince as my motor wasn't
complete yet. Also had an awesome opportunity to chase for Old Horse
Racing in Baja! And lots more! Enjoy!

another great year in the wheeling community. We got to play in
the trees, snow, sand and rock! Could it get any better in a
single year. One of the biggest highlights for me this year was to
be a spotter for Team LTH, with Jesus and Aaron Chio in Monterrey Mexico
at the Ramsey Challenge. You find out just how much work it is for a
team to be competitive. Enjoy all the pictures! Trails Utah friends visit Arizona Moab Bronco Safari 2002
