First Overland Test Drive
It was 3 months after I bought my jeep and I made some upgrades for my first Overland trip. My friends and I were wrenching in the garage almost every weekend until our Labor Day trip. We installed: Rock Hard Oil Pan Transmission Skid Plates, Smittybilt Rock Sliders, and Rubicon Express 2.5″ lift. I had America Tire Co install my BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 Tires and ProComp Steel rims. With that…my friends (who also recently bought their 2015 Rubicons) and I set off for an expedition into Piute Mtn Rd, Lake Isabella, Sherman Pass, Pismo Beach and finally Lake Cachuma. It was an epic trip…
Ready to hit the road
First camp off of Piute Mtn Rd
We always have time for a proud 4×4 owner pose
No – this wasn’t the altar from Blair Witch Project. It was someone’s target practice
Loving the dust on the trail
A good spot to have lunch
Coming down Piute Mtn Rd and heading to Lake Isabella
Taking a quick break at Lake Isabella
Sherman Pass or Bust
A rocky start on Sherman Pass
Going through the woods to granny’s…I mean campsite
Finally – flat ground to camp on
Sherman Pass claimed my KO2 tire – thank goodness for the high lift jack and spare tire
It’s a lot easier going down Sherman Pass
Letting a fellow Jeeper pass-thru
After the desert and mountains, we decided to cruise down the coast line (First stop: Pismo Beach)
Wheelers everywhere at Pismo
Taking it all in
Last night of camping at Lake Cachuma
Gotta strike a pose at Lake Cachuma

Four days without a shower, so Joe decided to clean up in the ocean
