The Art of Off-Roading: A Day in the Life of a Team

We started our day with a bang, literally. As we set up our rig at the water tanks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. Our team had been planning this trip for weeks, and we were ready to take on whatever the off-road trails had in store for us. With our flatbed in tow, we began to make our way through the sandy dunes, navigating our way through the twists and turns with ease.

As we rode, I couldn't help but think about how different this trip was from our last one. We had been to some of the toughest trails before, but this one seemed particularly daunting. The terrain was rocky and unforgiving, with steep hills and narrow valleys that seemed to stretch on forever. But we were ready for it. With our team's expertise and experience, we knew that we could tackle anything that came our way.

As we made our way through the dunes, I noticed that our friend Gina was getting a bit anxious. She had been feeling a little off all morning, and I could tell that she was starting to get worried. "Hey, let's take it easy for a minute," I said, as I pulled over to give her a chance to catch her breath. She nodded gratefully, and we spent the next few minutes chatting and laughing together.

But our respite was short-lived, as we soon found ourselves facing a new challenge. A steep hill loomed before us, its surface rough and unforgiving. "Okay, guys, let's get this over with," I said, as I put it in gear. The engine roared to life, and we began our ascent up the hill. It was a slow and laborious process, but we were determined to make it to the top.

As we crested the hill, we were greeted by a breathtaking view. The sun was shining down on us, casting a warm glow over the landscape. We sat there for a moment, taking it all in, and enjoying the sense of accomplishment that came with making it to the top.

But our celebration was short-lived, as we soon found ourselves facing another challenge. A piece of equipment had come loose, and we needed to figure out how to fix it before we could continue on our journey. "Okay, let's see what's going on here," I said, as I examined the problem. After a few moments, I came up with a plan. We would need to replace the faulty part with a new one, but I was confident that we could do it.

As we worked on the equipment, our friend Matt arrived on the scene, his rig in tow. "Hey, guys, what's going on?" he asked, as he pulled over to join us. We filled him in on the situation, and he offered to help us fix the problem. Together, we managed to get everything sorted out, and we were back on the road in no time.

As we continued on our journey, I couldn't help but think about how much I had learned today. From the basics of off-roading, such as navigation and communication, to more advanced techniques like troubleshooting and problem-solving, I felt like I had gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. And I knew that this was just the beginning - with every new adventure comes a chance to learn and grow.

After a day of exploring, we decided it was time to head back to camp and get some rest. As we made our way through the dunes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. We had faced challenges and overcome them, working together as a team to achieve our goals. And as I looked out at the breathtaking view before us, I knew that this was just the beginning - there were more adventures waiting for us on the horizon.

We stopped for a break at a scenic spot and took some photos with our friends. The guys wore cool shirts and we took lots of good photos with the big trucks behind us. One of our friends said "I love your shirt". We all laughed and exchanged stories.

As we continued on our way, I couldn't help but think about how much fun we were having. From the thrill of navigating treacherous terrain to the camaraderie of working together as a team, this had been an adventure that none of us would ever forget. And as we made our way back to camp, I knew that this was just the beginning - with every new adventure comes a chance to learn and grow.

We eventually arrived at our destination where we traded some goods and said thanks to our friend for watching over the vehicle while it was being worked on. We loaded up all of our gear into our truck and started the engine ready to head back home. It had been a long day but we were all feeling good about what we had accomplished.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ensuper close I mean we're gonna hit so we got a call for a Bronco with a busted front axle out on the west rim trail so we're gonna head out and see if we can find them and get them scooped up and take them back to safety we just got the record put back together so this is great timing it'll be a good test for the wrecker beautiful day out here like 50 degrees and sunny we'll go get them we got Holly here with us on this job because we were just out here at Sand Hollow riding together so here she is hey Colby is this a better pace for you oh yeah we'll try to take it easy and not lose you I hope I'm a valuable enough payment s here well you're definitely valuable enough that if we lost you we'd go back all right we've made another change on the exhaust but all the parts haven't come in so if you're hearing a lot of booming and roaring noises that is simply because we didn't put the quiet part of the exhaust on yet what version of the exhaust is this five all right let's go look at this there she is huh yeah it's kind of your typical Bronco failure um so we I mean tie rod on the driver's side but the passenger side's weird because it's like the axle tube that looks like a passenger side CV to the actual diff yeah so that broke and like that's all just kind of resting on that control arm okay how how strong is this bumper should be strong strong enough to pick it up I think so we'll find out huh what else bro other than the tie rod so on the other side the the tube that's coming out of the French over the cvx12 busted off a little bit so what I'm gonna do Tom is I'm gonna back in right here and then we can just pick it up and pivot around there cool all right that's the plan okay I got a couple of soft shackles we're gonna hook them onto his bumper here his bumper looks really solid so we're gonna pick it up using these points right here look at this do you want to see the code yeah launch missiles wow and that way that way we'll save those another day okay so how'd it feel when it started breaking apart uh actually he was the one driving it I watched from down below it made a really loud sound I watched it turn all at once and I thought well there goes our time on this Trail just going up there and then I mean one after the other clunk clunk you want to get them straightened out and then we'll hook up the rest of it no no go get what that's okay we have uh yeah we got a backup panel yep because for this very reason okay Lizzy do you want to jump in it and get it started up and okay you're gonna want to hold the brakes just leave it in park and hold the brakes for a second while we pivot you around yeah okay I'm gonna I'm gonna drive as this pivots around you're gonna have to continue to pick the boom up so that the just watch the pressure of the tires on the ground pressure of the tires we've got to get this higher higher higher I think I'm gonna change my course and go up right there is this a problem with my rear tires your rear am I causing myself problems you're okay on this back tire s foreign yeah well I can get we can get to the water tanks there and then it can be picked up and taken anywhere with a regular yeah we have a flatbed at the Airbnb so if we get to the water tanks we'll just take it from there okay perfect what would you do honestly I go back to it I know it's quicker and everything is fine but the chances of something bad going happen at the front is pretty hot I mean higher than that way honestly it's pretty it is pretty high we've had a good day so far yeah we haven't broke anything let's keep doing that cross let's let's keep on a good path okay all right some reason okay we're gonna go through this dip I don't need lockers I might not have even needed lockers to climb out of that but it's a pretty steep little hill we just climbed up how bizarre does this feel it's gonna take it take time we get back to the water tanks hang on Gina's touching down foreign football it's probably exaggerating because this is on it it's just yeah it's pretty bad what's our options let's go through a bunch of these yeah dude we're not even I'm gonna put it in on the yellow yeah let's try that that'll help yeah we're gonna send that back talk to him about a failure okay there you go okay oh we gotta take it off of here first stop there's no bow shackles on the back of any of these rigs okay okay let's try that hey Matt hey you awesome do you wanna oh let's do that let's switch them out that would go that'll save that ah ah stop you're super close I mean we're gonna hit like you're only like inches away we gotta lift this thing up higher and drop it throughout the place yeah that's fine okay all right we're gonna head out of here that's the view I've been having so watching you guys all do this fancy stuff in the front I'm watching you do all right we're rolling working is awesome and it's 30 minutes past Quinton time but a friend asked me to help teach country swing tonight that I need to get back to so I'm hoping hoping we make it back to the shop in less than an hour all right oh boy you think just riding or driving in the sand dunes is scary try this try dangling in the same time with no control where do we get I can felt it but we don't see it right there yeah I just kissed right there but it just docked a little we make her we have plenty you make the bumpers yeah yeah that that's our brand it's holding up good man yeah well we did a job like this with a razor a couple days ago but this is kind of the biggest thing this is
