If you've seen our coverage of Ultimate Adventures (UA) past, you'll probably remember our many references to the Ultimate Adventure Cronies: Keith Bailey, Tom Boyd, Dave Chappelle, Chris Durham, Sam Gillis, Trent McGee, Clifton Slay, and Ken Smith. These guys are the best, and they're at least half the reason we here at the magazine pour our hearts into this event. Without UA we might not be able to convince all these guys—a group made up of some of our best friends—to skip work, shut down the shop, take vacation, ditch their loving families and friends, and go four-wheeling with us ... basically wherever we want to go.
The UA Cronies are tireless off-roaders and true lifelong enthusiasts who live it every day, and that makes them the best group of folks to get stuck with, break down near, or roll over ahead of. They have seen it all, and they know how to recover broken or rolled vehicles better than any group of eight people on earth, a judgement we can make based on years of experience working on 4x4s, driving 4x4s all over the place, fixing 4x4s that are broken (sometimes very badly), and living life on the trail. These guys can fix darn near anything on a 4x4 or any other rig.

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos
Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.
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.
