Winston is up for grabs. This truck has been an amazing adventure companion and I hate to see it go. The thing is, I need to make a change and pivot my business. The only way to take advantage of the pivot is to sell Winston and use the proceeds towards the next big move.

All details are on my website via the link in my bio.

It’s been 4 weeks since I became a card carrying member of the dad club. As I wish myself a happy first Father’s Day, I can’t take all the credit, in fact, I should take very little.

First, Baby Nora, thank you for being the cutest thing I’ve ever seen (bias, but get over it.) Since you’re my baby, you’re literally the reason I’m a dad and can celebrate today. Thank you.

Second, , what’s Father’s Day without the mother that made it possible? Since I’m a dad now I get to use sports references liberally; Hillary is Michael Jordan on our family team and I’m the kid that wipes up sweat. She is the real star of the show and I’m just here to make sure she has a safe stage to perform on. Thank you.

Third, , who doesn’t use Instagram anymore so my mom will have to show him this post, thank you for showing me what a quality dad is. My entire life you were teaching me what a dad should be and while I may have been stubborn and ignoring it, I appreciate it. Your support of me when I forfeit my life goal of becoming the next Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, or Frank Lloyd Wright to share videos of me camping is a shining example of a father’s love, dreams can change, but your support never wavered. Thank you.

Fourth, me. I’m a dad. I get to share photos of my kid that only I care about and you can pretend to by hitting the heart. You’re welcome.

Happy Father’s Day.

The Build Breakdown and For Sale page for Winston is 80% finished - I’ve linked it in my bio.

Before I can create the walk around video and upload current photos to the listing I need to take apart and rebuild the AEV front bumper while triple testing the torque and double verifying that every bolt has loctite.

Wish me luck as I start that project his weekend.

To everyone who has shared my previous post and to those of you who are as interested to see what is possible with as I am, I have a request.

Throughout the summer I’ll be creating short videos that I’ll call “open letters to and ” it would mean the world to me if when you see those, you can share them in your stories and tag Rivian and RJ.

I would love to work with Rivian leading into this new chapter on my channel and feel like I am in a unique position to incorporate their products into some fundamental Localanding trips, more details on the three big ones soon.

This isn’t my only channel of communicating with Rivian, I do have a contact that I’m preparing a pitch deck for, but taking a guerrilla approach as a secondary avenue feels like a fun experiment. We’ll see how it goes.

Someone buy my Gladiator. Thanks.

I see your Overland Expo posts about sales, new products, and happy hours and I raise you: Baby Nora. Nora arrived early on the 17th after 30 hours of labor. This little goober already has me melting every time I see her. fought like the momma bear she is to bring us Nora and is recovering well.

Enjoy your dirt mall everybody. I have other plans.

Also - if you’ve read this far. We’re going to sell the Gladiator after I get the AEV bumper updated. More details to come. Basically, I love this baby enough to switch to an off-road vehicle that actually has a safety rating. I love that truck, but I love this one more and we’ve made the family decision to keep her safe.

Interested in a ? This is from 2017. I think this was the peak form for the old Adventure Taco.

Not much changed to the truck after this. While I think it looks pretty, it hated driving. 80mph on flat I-80 Westbound was a chore, forget going up hills. The seating position was a knee killer. No CarPlay but a decent sized screen, and of course the odd button layout on the steering wheel. With honorable mentions for the plastic bed and pencil-thin tie rods.

I learned a lot of lessons while owning this truck, one of the biggest takeaways is that it is better to get the right tool for the job first rather than trying to build the right tool yourself.

I had grand dreams of gears, air-lockers, axle upgrades, etc. and was blinded by the Toyota marketing con of “reliability.”

When I started to see that the Rubicon had all of the upgrades from the factory that I wanted to make to the Tacoma, I couldn’t shake the thought that I was making a mistake.

I’m very excited to see that Toyota seems to have listened to their customers and are making moves to improve the Tacoma line for us Localanders. While I still have trepidations and won’t be adding one to my fleet, it is a good sign.

The Wrangler, Bronco, and now Gladiator have all been miles ahead of what I was able to do with the Tacoma, but I don’t know if any of them catch my eye quite like this truck did.

(Side note: I’ll never own a black truck again either)

Hey it’s me. I’ve been MIA. I picked up the Rona right before Overland Expo Mountain West and have been recovering. I feel good and took time on the break to work on my upcoming content. I still have a few projects in the can that need editing from the Pony Express to a Colorado trip with .colorado.
Yesterday’s video was the first in this new direction of fusing adventure with creator tech and strategy. It won’t be the main focus of my channel, but as it is something I’m passionate about, I want to sprinkle it in along with adventure videos.
Thanks to everyone who reached out while I was sick. It meant the world and I really felt the love.
Time to get back to work and finish the year strong.

I’ve never once thought I’d be sharing a post about e-bikes. After and I took a trip through Zion on some, I knew I needed to get me one. Fast forward to today and I’m beach cruising with on our new Aventures.

Full disclosure, Aventon sent these to us, but we are all smiles after today’s ride and can’t wait for our next one! 🚴

I know that photo is dead on Instagram, but I can’t help but share the stupidest spot I’ve ever stood. I still get vertigo thinking about this spot.

The other idiot out there is , this was his idea.

It's pretty safe to say that this spends more time on the trails than it does in the garage, and that's how it should be.
