THE INVITED READERS OF ULTIMATE ADVENTURE 2021
We wish we could invite all of you along on our epic Ultimate Adventure (UA), but face it, that isn’t feasible. Still, we appreciate and include Four Wheeler readers by inviting a select few each year to join us on the world’s oldest and most awesome off-road adventure trip. We select the invited readers from applications received at fourwheeler.com. For 2021, we invited four new readers and one returning reader to join us on UA, and here they are.

THE ICE CREAM VAN RISES TO THE TOP

Travis Farmer and his co-driver Cole Conner were a great choice for returning reader for 2021. While all the readers from UA2020 were awesome and a pleasure to have on the trip, it’s always a pleasure to watch Travis stuff 7,000 pounds of van down a Jeep-sized trail. His driving is amazing and may make anyone think they, too, could make a van work on UA. We’re skeptical of that. Cole Conner has been in the industry for a while and is always ready to spot, run winchline, lend a hand with a repair, and more. That makes for a hard team to beat on UA. These guys fit the event like a van-shaped peg in a van-shaped hole. Also, they brought ice cream for everyone.

VEHICLE: ’85 Chevy G10 van

DRIVER: TRAVIS FARMER CO-DRIVER: COLE CONNER

How many UAs have you been on: “Two.”

Drove it or towed it: “Towed.”

Favorite part of the trip: “Favorite part of the trip was the people. K2 Katemcy Rocks park was great, too!”

Engine: GM 5.3L LS Transmission: 4L60E

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
