Trash cat coming in for a lunar landing 💩 @oregontrailr 🤣😂

I don’t chug many beers these days, but a good dose of #highlife experience in action right here...beer bong and shotgunning techniques at work to fill the Montero rear differential 🍻 Just remember, a hole at the top will make any fluid go down real smooth 💦 @royal_purple @thegambler500 #gen1 #montero #ol91 #mellowestmontero #gambler500 #backyardmechanic #tugboat #4x4 #classictruck #pajero #dakar #gen1montero

Just plucked these babies growing wild in the backyard 🍇 . . #wildgrapes #suckercreek #oregon #wild #freshpicked #grapes #illinoisvalley #shotoniphone

I freshened up this old Montero and have it running like a champ...but it’s been stuck on blocks for the last 6 weeks! The moral of the story: “if it ain’t THAT broke, don’t fix it!” 🤷‍♂️ ...The race is on to get ready for @descendonbend with @oregontrailr next week 🏁 // The long version // After a mission to Mars (a local swimming hole) with @partcraft and @sluggy05 , I noticed a bit of oil weeping out of the rear hub (zoom in to see it in the pic). That’s when I was taking this photo. Moments before this, I hitched up Ol’ 91 to my @oregontrailr for the first time...it pulled like a dream for a magical 30 feet to where you see it now. I couldn’t leave the leaky wheel seal alone. So, I disconnected the trailer and pulled the rear end apart at once. I took the axle apart and brought the assemblies to the machine shop to have wheel bearings / seals replaced... ...that was 6 weeks ago. The parts I got back 4 weeks later were beat up, missing circlips, backing plates bent and gouged. Even worse..the left side was so warped that it wouldn’t even line up to bolt into the axle. 😕 So, back they went to get repaired...hoping for a better outcome this time! With any luck we’ll have the goods back on Friday and the rig back in tip top shape by the end of the weekend! ............👨‍🔧🤷‍♂️☠️🛠............ #backyardmechanic #mechanicfail #patience #montero #gen1montero #mitsubishi #dodrop #dodropalpha #teardrop #oregontrailr #dakar #oldschool #91 #Ol91 #tugboat #camprig #overlander #bugout #offthegrid #descendbend #offroad #vintage #gambler500

Been working overtime on a new site and demo reel for @mellowestco - check it out!

Thick smoke battles back the last rays of sunset over The Illinois Valley. We might be smoked out, but I’m grateful for the air in my lungs and the opportunity to take in nature’s complete insanity at moments like this. Props to @garyrydersauer for working the land pictured in the foreground and also fighting the fires burning in the background 🔥 . . . #fireseason #illinoisvalley #sauerflats #wildfires #momentofsilence #rip #nature #sunset #kalmiopsis #8dollarmountain #pnw #oregon #cavejunction

Fire season is in full effect once again - be safe and give’r hell out there! Can’t wait to get back out and document more of the action 🔥🔥Photos from the Stouts Fire, Canyonville, OR 2016 // @graybackforestry @oregonforestry @geno7594 @bambi.bucket @flyin_jibbs @melissaraecano #wildlandfirefighter #wildfire #stoutsfire2016 #oregon #odf #oregonfires #firewatch #threatlevelred #highalert #fireseason #treefelling #firecamp #bambibucket

Doing my best @rbrown_920 impression on my old Montero...let’s hope it works out! 👨‍🔧 #backyardmechanic #montero #6g72

There’s nothing like the smell of a new project...or a heavy oil leak to kick off the drive home 💸💨 Super excited to bring this old Montero back to life with old school looks, retooled motor and puck-approved chill zone 💯 #montero #gen1 #pajero #pocuk #barnfind #originalcharacter #oldschool #monterra #overlandbound #expeditionportal #overlandbuild

When @locusst calls on a Monday with a campsite on lock, you pack up shop and head to the mountains! Thankful for new friends, epic views and deep space reflections so clear you’d think you’re floating amongst it 🌌 #squawlake #oregonexplored #nomad #campsite #applegate #mountainlakes

This photo of me and Dad at @eaa Oshkosh is both a reminder of a really good time, and our goal to own a plane and the flying trips we’ll take in the future. Here’s to making the years ahead the best ones yet Dad, happy Father’s Day!

Catching the golden hour with my best bud Puck! Couldn’t ask for a better way to cap off the day. #dingo #washougal

Rolled up to eagle lake for a few hours of shuteye late last night and got a sunrise surprise when daylight cracked. Continuing on towards flagstaff with a fleet of @oregontrailr ’s in tow 🎥 . . . #overlandexpo #oregontrailer #dodrop #terradrop #alpha #dda2 #vanlife #eaglelake #teardropcamper #offroad #freecamping #natureshow #diyvan #offgrid #views
