IN THE FIELD WITH KC HILITES' FLEX ERA 4 FOGLIGHT

When considering lights for your vehicle, the Flex Era 4 should be at the top of your list

by Bret Edge

There are long-term reviews, and there are looong-term reviews. This is the latter. A little over four years ago we mounted six KC HiLiTES Flex Era 4 lights (FE4) on our overland camper that we affectionately call the Funhawg. Based on a 2021 Ford F-250 with a Norweld flatbed tray and Four Wheel Campers Hawk UTE camper, it’s the perfect platform to support our hiking, backpacking and mountain biking adventures. Returning to camp after dark is common, as is searching for a campsite after a long day on the trail. For both, you can never have too much light. Flipping on the Flex Era 4’s throws 7,912 lumens each downrange, guaranteeing we see every animal, road or obstacle that lies ahead.

A SPONTANEOUS ADVENTURE

A father/son adventure through Wyoming & Montana

by Stan Wright

What would you do if you were handed the keys to a brand new Jeep Wrangler JKU owned and outfitted by one of the largest offroad companies in the world? Stand there and stare at it is not an acceptable. You quickly drive away before someone has a chance to change their minds. ARB graciously offered us their fully-built 2014 Jeep Wrangler and my eight-year-old son, Keagan, and I packed our bags as fast as we could. As you can imagine, it was outfitted with just about everything ARB offers for the Wrangler line. The only things we needed to bring were our personal items and an Outer Limit Supply first aid kit. Everything else was already installed. The ARB drawer kit had all the tools and recovery gear we’d ever need. The ARB air lockers were ready to be engaged. The snorkel and diff breathers were begging to be dunked and tested. Like everything else on the Jeep, the ARB Simpson III roof top tent was brand new and the tent ladder beckoned to be climbed. I’ll ask again: What would you do if you were handed the keys to a brand new Jeep JKU owned and outfitted by ARB? Get lost, right? Well, that’s what we did.

FIELD REVIEW: 41.22'S HITCH SLIDER

American-made quality for off-pavement adventures

by Mike Fissel

For years the trailer hitch receiver on my JK Unlimited Rubicon has been abused by rock outcroppings and obstacles while navigating some of America’s most formidable trails. This past April in Moab, my new Gladiator’s hitch receiver spent more time dragging along the terrain than not and along the way, I came to the realization the longer wheelbase on my Gladiator – and aforementioned JK Unlimited Rubicon – isn’t as nimble as my shorter wheelbase Wrangler.

THE PEOPLE COUNTING ON YOU DESERVE THIS



I’ve been lucky enough to hike to Havasu Falls twice, and each trip was an unforgettable adventure. The waterfalls are absolutely magical and worth every ounce of effort it takes to get there.

This iconic Havasu Falls hike, located on Havasupai tribal land, is a bucket list destination for many outdoor lovers. The trail is 10 miles each way, departing from Hualapai Hilltop in Arizona where you descend into a steep canyon and travel through a dry sandy wash all the way to paradise.

DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT

Zecheriah Lee lives in L.A. with a career in menswear. However, as like many of us, he breaks up the monotony by exploring outdoors

Throughout the woven fabric of my career, I’ve been gifted the opportunity to lead and mentor teams, counsel corporate CEO’s, comfort investors, and inspire board members. Without hesitation, I can confidently report that only a handful of the individuals I interacted with demonstrated the inspirational character of a person who lived by an accord of whole life balance. In other words, more often than not, I found those I interacted with to be deeply immersed in the responsibility of their corporate work the majority of their lives. Family often fell second. Hobbies and personal interests rarely entered the conversation. The development of real personal friendships often stumbled along. And, though I know many held strong faith and strived for a more meaningful personal life, most seemed to push their deeper inspirational tendencies aside while in corporate environments.
