Off-road, builds and gear out of Southern Utah

I’m building a 1995 Jeep XJ on a budget, riding a GasGas ES 500, and testing the gear that actually makes it to the trail. Everything’s shot cinematic out of Hurricane, Utah, where the trails start at the end of the driveway.

The XJ build
A 305K-mile 1995 Cherokee turned budget overlander. Lift, armor, lights, rooftop tent, solar. Every install gets filmed.
Off-road and overlanding
Trails, camps and desert runs around Zion and Southern Utah, plus crewing Baja races for friends.
Dirt bikes
The 2024 GasGas ES 500: rides, mods and the gear that keeps it running.
Gear and how-tos
Camera setups, garage tools and step-by-step installs, tested for real before they get a recommendation.
