PULLING A JEEP TRAILER; LESSONS LEARNED

 

DON'T TAKE THE KITCHEN SINK!

Lessons Learned from an Overlanding Trip Pulling a Trailer

By Del Albright

I built this old apple orchard 1/4 ton trailer, M100, into an overlanding trailer -- and made some mistakes.  But first, the good things I did:

TAKE THE TIME TO FIND SOME TIME

LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE

By Del Albright

Sometimes we need to be in the slow lane. As we get along in life, we realize how fast time really does fly.  Kids and cousins and family grow up right in front of our eyes.  It was just yesterday...

My suggestion is to take just a little time, now and then, to really slow down.  Yes, smell the roses and the wildflowers.  Do something that puts you in low gear -- the slow gear.  Don't let the little moments pass you by until the next thing you know, you're old.  :)

GET OUTSIDE; STAY SAFE; BE ALIVE

🌄 TIME TO GET BACK OUTSIDE: RECONNECT WITH NATURE AND SUNSHINE

By Del Albright | Photo: Del Albright

Is it time to get back to the outdoors? You bet it is.
The great outdoors are calling — and it’s high time we answered. Whether you’re into trail rides, mountain hikes, backcountry camping, or just soaking up sunshine on a dirt road, getting outside is good for the soul and even better for your health.

After a long stretch of stay-at-home life, restrictions, and digital overload, nothing resets the mind like a trip to the high country.

💪 Boost Your Health Outdoors

Gyms are reopening, routines are shifting back to “normal,” and many of us are ready to shake off the cabin fever. But some of the best fitness you’ll ever get is found on the trail, not the treadmill.

• Breathe fresh alpine air

• Feel the sun on your face

• Let your Jeep or hiking boots carry you to peace and perspective

---

🚙 Find Your “Wherever” Country

As for me? I’m pointing my Jeep toward the high country. Maybe the forest. Maybe the backroads. Maybe somewhere I’ve never been. That’s the beauty of outdoor recreation — freedom to roam, explore, and recharge.

Wherever you go, go smart and go safe. Respect nature, follow local guidelines, and leave it better than you found it. Humans thrive on sunshine — and a little mud on the tires.

---

🌞 Ready to Get Back Outside?

Don’t wait. Reconnect with your favorite trails, backroads, fishing holes, or fire rings. Whether you're overlanding, hiking, or just soaking it in — nature is the original therapy.

See you out there,

ROAD AND TRAIL TEST OF BFG KM3 TIRES

MOUNTAIN TESTING MY NEW BFGOODRICH KM3'S.

Jeep Takes On Pavement, Curves and Off-road Trails -- WELL!

By Del Albright

I just installed the "new" BFGoodrich Tires KM3 (Mud Terrain) on Red, the Jeep and had to take it for a test run.

So I chose the Sierra Nevada Mountains of CA, 100 miles east of Sacramento.

There was plenty of pavement in this 200 mile loop with a good mix of dirt, snow and trails.

Wildflowers were blooming in the high mountains.

Unfortunately, much of the area I was traveling had been burned in large wildflowers.  But the Prickly Poppies were out in force.

The BFGoodrich Tires KM3 is by far the best tire I have had on Red, the Land Use War Machine Jeep.  I look forward to more testing.   It takes on all obstacles; all possibilities; and helps  me stay on the trail.  With incredible grip added to the toughness and traction that goes with BFG.

Wow, what a tire!
