This 350 4 Bolt SBC is the heart of the 55 Willys Overland Truck project. We should have a test start and break in video coming soon.

Setting up and testing the KickAss Instant Hot Water System Test. I'm hoping this will be the game changer I need for a simple easy hot water system. Trail showers while a luxury can help me relax even more in remote campsites. Product Info Link https://bit.ly/DESERTJEEPRAT #kickassgang #kickasscrew #Kickassteam

I have been working on rust conversion and rust sealing the body and frame so I can get to a sealed topcoat. Back to some grinding and banging in this video to get parts off of the old tailgate. YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjXZxK6lYM8

Warning: If you don't like seeing people eat good food this video is not for you. The oven performed better than I expected. Solar or other battery recharge would be a must but it is super easy to use and is very solid and well built.

While I was still on the road I received a delivery notice on this camping oven. Here is the unboxing and keep an eye out for the first test.

A few of my favorite trails Elvis and some of Payette Draw.

Another great year of Barrett Jackson and my usual offroad edition. If you would like to see larger images of each rig I am including the link to Google Photo so you can zoom and look at them closer. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pKJavvHytQo... http://desertjeeprat.com

Joe got to be the first to do a repair in the hobby shop and we had a bonus with Kim and Robert with a broken frame repair on an overland trailer. Check those corners where your tongue connects to the sides of the frame. They are almost always first to go.

This shower awning is the next step in getting the Blue Steel DIY Overland Trailer ready for longer trips. The install is pretty similar to any awning setup and took about 15 minutes. It has plenty of space and as you can see in the video super easy to deploy and pack away.

I needed a little more space and we decided to combine all our storage and shop into one location that fits both needs better. I should have more dedicated shop space to work on projects, make repairs and install upgrades.

The Gap is a moderate to hard trail with by passes on most of the trail. Your rig should be lifted and at least one locker. Don't do this trail alone.

Medium to advanced short trail in Southern Arizona near Benson AZ.

During our Christmas trip to Puerto Penasco the Pelicans were back and very actively feeding along with every kind of bird native to the sea.

Adding some modern LED headlights to the 1951 Willys truck grill. I have the same lights on my Jeep JKUR and have been very happy with how they work.

Walk around of the 1951 Willys overland truck. The painted parts truck. What color should I repaint it? http://desertjeeprat.com

The 1955 Willys Overland Truck Project has progressed and I now have the body on an 80s square body blazer frame. I will probably need to extend the frame 110" wheel base to fit the body 118" wheel base.

I have a 1951 and a 1955 Jeep Overland trucks that are going to be my next projects. I have an inventory of all of the parts I have for each and have begun the process of how each will be built. I should have a donor frame soon that I can give you in one of the next videos. Settle the question is it Willys ("What chu talkin bout Willis") or (Willees)? http://desertjeeprat.com

Trail ride on Red Rock Canyon trail.

Another great gathering of off-road friends

I'm about 50/50 on this Obstacle depending on how much it is washed out. This time was a nogo.
