2021 Bronco - get it!

 

It's not a Raptor, but dang I'm loving the new 2021 Bronco!

What do you think of the new 2021 Bronco?

Vorsteiner cap lost in mud...

Lost a center cap while in the mud a few weeks ago, but thanks to The guys at Offroad Alliance - I’m back to awesome!

Loving these Vorsteiner wheels!!

A little off-roading today

If you're in the Sacramento area, you've probably heard of Prairie City State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA)   It's 836 acres of off road access, a big chunk is for motorcycles, ATVs, etc.  But there is a great 4x4 section as well!  There are sections from mild to wild...

You probably won't do this in your daily driver...

Prairie City is situated at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, 20 miles east of downtown Sacramento and three miles south of U.S. 50. The area offers off-highway vehicle enthusiasts a variety of interesting terrain and trails for motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and 4-wheel drive vehicles. There are flat, open grasslands, rolling hills with native blue oak trees, and acres of cobbled mine tailings left after gold dredges combed ancient river beds in search of gold during the late 1800s. Beginners, as well as experts, find a variety of terrain both challenging and enjoyable.

My buddy and I went out, honestly it was my first time there, but he's been a couple times.  I need to sync up with the 4x4 groups more!  Like NorCal 4x4 that does a lot of stuff!

I didn't get to Prairie City until about 1:15 so a lot of the mud was gone, but I did get a good coating - my buddy with his new Ram Rebel was the first guy in the mud - can you tell?  LOL He didn't have any mudflaps, but I did - man does it save your paint!!! Had a great time, here are a few videos...

 

the last video, you probably heard that nice "CLUNK" well - that was my passenger side running board LOL.  It's a little squished now...

Definitely recommend the trip to the OHV, it's $5/day or $50/season - worth the mud!

 

got a little dirty :)

Well, the time finally came to dip the truck into some muck...

If you're in the Sacramento area, sure there's the Prairie City SVRA

But there's a road - just little further southwest - near Blodgett Reservoir where Keifer Rd washes out every winter...  yes, those big murky brown puddles in the pic below...

time for a bath! :)

Finally got the new Vorsteiner VR-602 Tungsten Graphite wheels installed!

Finally! All 4 of the Vorsteiner Venom Rex VR-602 Tungsten Graphite wheels arrived!

The guys at America's tire were nice enough to put the chrome lugs on, and ordered black ones and will swap them out for me when they come in.  Here are pics mounted!

The black lugs will look awesome once they come in!

Nice flush look with the little bit more offset!

and now - with the right colored lug nuts :)
