Wheeler Pass

It’s been a few years since I have run Wheeler’s Pass, and it’s just as beautiful as I remember. The wild horses by Cold Creek were awesome (and they showed us who was the visitor by not getting out of the road). Also I rarely go naked (no doors or top) but I did this day, and wouldn’t you know it I got rained on… but it was desert rain and it was over in 5 minutes. And my new 2WayAir system was awesome and my first ride with my new sway bar disconnects.

Pssssssst.

Name the one thing that you do every time you go out wheeling and is a big pain in the ass, especially in the desert heat. Yup, airing down and back up again. This process can be slow and a tedious every time, but my good friend Pat Hickman at Rock Smasher Engineering has come up with an awesome system that is sure to revolutionize this task.

2-way-airThe 2Way Air System by Rock Smasher Engineering is an easy hassle free way to air up and air down. One single manifold that hooks up to all four tires creates a single air source and even tire pressure. Check out some of the videos to see how this works. Also visit and like Rock Smasher Engineering on Facebook.

I was super lucky to get one of these systems installed on my JKU and it is amazing. Again thanks Pat and Rock Smasher Engineering!!!

Here is a picture of me letting the 2Way Air system do all the work (see people in background on their knees “ouch”).

We mounted the manifold in the engine compartment, I’m using my Stauns (this one is set to 14lbs) to do the stopping point. You could use an air gauge if you don’t have Stauns.

Here are some pictures I took during install.

I got Bumped!

Well, it took about a year and a half but I finally swapped out the factory OEM bumper. The bumper of choice is a Off road Evolution EVO 1/4 Pounder w/Stinger, this choice was made because this bumper rocks! This is a serous chunk of steel and very capable of extreme 4×4’ing.

Here are a few pics of the bumper installation.

Thanks to my buddy Pat Hickman from Rock Smasher Engineering for letting me use your awesome garage and a great group of friends (Vegas valley Four Wheeler’s) who stopped by to help install it.
