Mission Impossible is considered to be the toughest trail in Baja, Mexico. With steep dropoffs, granite boulders, a bottomless swamp, and prickly cactii along the trail, traveling alone is not advised. Trail Bosses: Ken and Suzanne Cooke of Just Runs and Rubicon Owners of CA will lead the...

I led a 3 club trip down to Baja recently for the day. Chris Glass and his big 35" shod Explorer also made the run, and he had a wonderful time. I have images online as well as a video which will be webcast later this week. Here are a few pictures to check out... The trailhead (complete...

Non-4WD related, but still good viewing: I utilized a 7 mp Sony digital camera w/o focus control, zoomed all the way. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3016642716307339345&pl=true

I'm leading a 4 day run in the Baja backcountry where the trailhead is 5 mi. south of the U.S. border - directly south of Truckhaven/Anza-Borrego and we plan to return to the 'states the night of the 30th. The trail boasts 130 mi. of prime camping, big rocks, and peaceful soletude. Here's...

Check this video out. It shows the hard work a Toyota truck has to put up with in the 3rd world. The big cats don't look too nice, either... South Africa Tracks

Trip #2 to the Old Dale Mining District for Just Runs was just as much fun as the first. There were lots of nice people with well-equipped vehicles out for a day of fun. While just a few people decided to camp over night, it was still a great time on the trail in the Twentynine Palms/Joshua...

Located 14 Mi. east of Twentynine Palms south of Hwy 62 is the magical region named the Dale Mining District. Mining was a moneymaker in the 1880s, and crushed rock trails were constructed to move the operators in and out of the region. Although faint footpaths line the walls which are...

The Just Runs gang had a wonderful time at the Old Dale Mining District - located in the BLM land just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. Nine vehicles and twelve participants traveled the numerous mining trails that crisscross the hills that led to so many dreams and so much misery...

http://www.jeep-trails.com/images/Video/Hummers_Suck.wmv Dennis from H2Source made this anti-H1 video. Funny, but it contains some H2 footage that Rick provided a link to last week. I don't understand why an H2 guy would make this video, but it is a good 6 minute laugh. Enjoy.

http://customers.holdenmss.com/webfiles/images/H2TributeForum.wmv 20 MB of some raw humor directed at us folks with Jeeps. Even Saddam Hussein endorses the Jeep brand! :mad: If you own a Jeep, I hope you have a sense of humor, or you're gonna be mad as heck at these H2 owners and how their...

I spotted these on page 32 - May '05 issue of JP Magazine. The inner tread looks like Yokohama Super Digger V tread pattern, while the outter tread blocks are spaced apart and look like the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip outter lug blocks. This tire is going to be more aggressive than the last...

On Thursday, March 31st, it all began with a plea to Russ that we had 1 passenger and no additional open seats. You see, Andrew was supposed to drive down from San Jose that day with his CJ-7, but with a broken rear leaf spring, and no time to fix it, he was out of the run. One of our pickup...

About 10 or so of us are heading down to Baja, CA for some international 'wheeling along the Pole Line Road. Most of the 'wheeling will be moderate with some Class 3+ and possibly Class 4 sections containing deep v notches, boulder-shrewn hill climbs, rock and boulder covered canyons and of...

Death Valley NP is closed indefinitely due to damage caused by the August 15th floods that pounded the area. 1/3rd of an inch of water did some major damage - much more than our 4WD rigs could have ever inflicted upon this terrain. The question now is: How long will it take for all of the...

I completed John Bull last Sunday in dust-dry conditions. Boulders rolling around under my tires, tippy/sliding/slipping are two words to describe John Bull - With a generous lift, lockers, etc. Heres some pics from this past Saturday where a club member and one of his friends (Dawn) navigated...

I'd like for everyone to download this single and tell me what they think. I wrote/composed/produced this song about 2 years ago, but when MP3.com went down, I didn't have any way to expose it. Now, there's music.download.com which helps the independent artists like me get exposure. Tell me...

Here's my latest single that I wrote, composed, edited & produced on my home studio. Tell me what you think - if it rocked, if I should trash it, should I quit my day job, etc... I don't care, just download it and pass it along to someone who might like it. Thanks! -Ken "Distant Voices"...

TSL-SX vs. TrXus MT vs. BFGoodrich All Terrain I know that these tires are worlds apart in construction, tread life, traction, weight, and M.P.G. But, did you know how much taller the 33" TrXus MT was compared to the BFGoodrich AT? Which tire has more sipes? Which one works in the mud...

These tires performed flawlessly on the rocks Sunday in Big Bear. They gripped the rocks, cleaned when dunked in the mud, and drove down the mountain at 50 m.p.h. with minimal wandering and noise. For only $110.25 a piece (through 4WP), I'm very happy with these tires... -Ken

Here's a photo I just received from the developer. The president of the 4WD club I am affiliated with posted it on all 3 of his sites. This was taken with an ordinary 35mm "point and click" Olympus. Like they say about driving, "It's 80% the driver and 20% what he is driving..." Joshua...
