Haven't kicked myself once! When you convert, you can upgrade everything before you swap it in.

Default Went camping/exploring this weekend

Ended up camping at lake Pahranagat for a night then headed up Old Morman rd to the desert pass campgrounds.

We were going to go through to the 93 but the trail had been washed out by the floods and was closed.

Had a fun time exploring/light wheeling this last Sat and Sun.

Got a new front bumper for the Jeep for free! Can't beat that lol. A older Cherokee got traded in at work and had a steel front bumper on it with two d-ring mount welded on. I asked the used car manager if I could swap them since the Cherokee has a salvaged title and is going to wholesale or auction, he almost said no but then said well do it before it goes. So me and one of the techs stayed after work and swapped them out. Don't have any yet of it on mine. I must say it definitely changes the whole look of it and I love it! It wont let me up lo.ad the picture from my phone for some reason. I'll post one tomorrow after work.

It's up the 93. I15 N to the 93 exit, you'll be heading East (then it turns due North) for roughly 60 miles. You'll see the exits, signs.

Alamo is another 15 miles more...if you keep going, you can turn on to the 375 "extra terrestrial hwy" and check out the Area 51 spots like Rachel and the little ale'inn.
