Carrizo Plains from last weekend with 🌼 🐍 this might be one of the prettiest rattlesnakes I’ve ever seen not to mention the side blotched lizard!

As some of you may know my little Transit Connect was rear ended and totaled….I needed a replacement and decided it was time to try out a turbo diesel! After hours of reading I realized I didn’t want DPF or DEF so I landed on this 2006 Sprinter 2500 140WB. I’m the second owner and it’s got low miles for its age but that’s not to say it’s perfect…
I decided to go all in and replace everything I could/should which included: water pump, all coolant hoses, all charge piping, turbo resonator upgrade, oil change, coolant flush, glow plug control module and a bunch of other odds and of course had to get it on rubitreks! I’ve got all new door hardware to get the rear and sliding doors operating as they should. The end goal is to have a video production van that we can also sleep in if we need to but it’s not going to be a camper van. I still need to carry bikes, dirt bikes and lots of camera gear so it’ll be an interesting build when it’s all said and done 🚐

Feels like summer ☀️

Well, I didn’t intend to buy another FJ62, but sometimes it just happens. I bought my first 62 in 2010 or 2011 for $1,000. Over the years, I’ve watched them gain popularity and skyrocket in price, which made me think I’d never own another one. My friend has had this truck for many years, and owned it before that. Every few months, I’d send Andy a lowball text, and a few weeks ago he sent me a number I had to take. I thought that after selling my Tundra I’d be without a truck for a while, but I’m so stoked to have another one of these. I’ve got a mountain of work to do. It needs A LOT, and first things first, it needs a new roof. It’s got some nasty rust where the roof and A-pilars meet, so that will be something I’m going to be on the hunt for ASAP. Anyway, this will be a fun and well-documented project, and who knows, maybe it’ll get me out of YouTube retirement, haha.

It isn’t fair how cool this thing is now. So many people were involved in transforming this from a broken down ratrod-esque e36 👌🏻

Big news! I’m incredibly excited to share that I’m the new Creative Director and - After 21 years at my previous job, taking this leap into the cycling industry just feels natural. Bikes have played a massive role in my life from the first BMX race at Earl Warren in 1991 till now. I’m proud to help tell the story of a USA-based manufacturer building high-quality bikes and products you can truly stand behind. Follow along, we’ve got some exciting stuff coming!

Every year a group of misfits meet out in the California desert to avoid the holiday craziness. I wouldn’t have it any other way, there’s nothing like time to disconnect, play hacky sack, burn your eyes with campfire smoke and drive RC crawlers 🌌

Looking fresh with that morning dew 🤘🏻
