DEL INSTALLS NACHO GRANDE LIGHTS ON JEEP JK

 DEL ALBRIGHT INSTALLS JEEP JK 

NACHO GRANDE LIGHTS

Nacho Offroad Technology Lighting

by Del Albright

Check out my video of me installing Nacho Grande Lights on Lady J, our 2014 Jeep JK.  These babies went on easily; tied directly to my sPOD, and give me the lighting I was hoping for and more. Plus, they look pretty darn nice!

INSTALLATION OF CMM JEEP JK SHIFTER KNOBS KIT

by Del Albright

2014 Jeep JK shifter knobs swap out from stock to Carolina Metal Mashers (CMM) Shifter Kit.
Incredible engineering and manufacturing. I am very pleased with the result, including the modernized look and appeal of the knobs. 

The installation videos on the CMM website were tremendously helpful. This made the job pretty easy. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

EXPLORING AND ENJOYING OUR FREEDOMS


THE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE OUR GREAT COUNTRY

The Jeep Lifestyle and Off-Road Exploring for Fun

By Del Albright

Four-wheeling, Jeeping, off-roading- call it what you will- is all about freedom. It's about the freedom to explore the backcountry or wherever your tires take you. I treasure that freedom and hope that you do as well.


You just never know what you will find if you let your mind wander and follow interesting roads.


I love finding remnants of past mining days.  Sometimes I can figure out what things were used for, other times I just take a picture and enjoy thinking about our history in America.

Here are my tips for ensuring we can continue to enjoy the backcountry and our freedoms:
1. Always obey the rules and signs.
2. Stay on designated routes and roads.
3. Take emergency gear and food just in case...
4. Let others know where you are headed.
5. Leave as little trace as you can.
6. Tread Lightly.
7. Respect private property.


Just get out there and explore!

DEL ALBRIGHT BOOK ON EPIC FAMILY HISTORY



THE LATEST BOOK FROM DEL ALBRIGHT

TALES FROM THE OL' RIVER

By Del Albright
I am excited and proud to announce the release of my new book, Tales from the Ol’ River. It is my family’s epic story of survival during the Great Depression as they followed the Oregon Trail from Missouri to Oregon during those trying times. Laced with historical facts, the book blends in real-life stories and commentary from my family records and journals. I thank this family history for giving me the foundation of who I am today.




The book talks of survival, hunting, trapping, gardening, living off the land, and bonding as a family during the trying times of hardship during the Depression of the 1930s. 

It is available today on Amazon as an eBook (Kindle) or paperback. Get a copy here, and let me know what you think.

A SOCIETY AFRAID IS EASILY CONTROLLED


 A SOCIETY AFRAID IS A SOCIETY DEBILITATED AND READY TO BE CORRALLED.

                                                                   By Del Albright

Take the bit in your mouth and head for the barn -- if you are afraid, you are easily controlled and corralled in the barn. Fear is the most powerful control factor in our modern-day lives.  If you are corralled, you are not roaming free or enjoying the green grass on the other side of the fence.  You are boxed in, contained, controlled, and manipulated in how you live your life.  Be not confused.

In the most extreme example, terrorism is just fear incarnate. Bullies use fear.  Terrorists use fear.  If you are afraid, you are ripe for manipulation, control, and allowing someone else to dictate how you spend your days.  FORGET THAT!

Yes, be safe, take care of yourself, and be smart. But do not be afraid to the point where someone else is controlling your life. Do not let fear dictate how you choose (and allow) actions in your life.  

If fear continues to take over our society, we will end up (theoretically) in a cattle car rumbling numbly to the slaughterhouse. Please do not let fear slaughter your dreams and freedom.

We all have the right to choose and allow how we live our lives and what we react to (or do not react to). Avoid those people who bring you down or make you afraid. 

2020 put fear in almost all our hearts.  We should never again experience that kind of fear or let it control so much of our lives. Take charge, be you, and don't be afraid.

DON'T STAGNATE; GET OFF THE FENCE; TAKE ACTION!

DON'T STAGNATE; GET OFF THE FENCE AND TAKE ACTION TO SAVE TRAILS     

 The Time for Fence-Sitting is Over   

   Just do it!

By Del Albright

Feel like you're stuck in a rut these days?  Get the impression that the world is half on hold? And do you find yourself "sitting on the fence" about many things going on around you?  Well, it's time to get off that fence and make something happen.

While there is nothing normal about our world right now, there are still things we can be doing to be proactive to have a better future.  For motorized recreation friends, we can still support our associations/clubs with donations and staying engaged as a member.  Online meetings and workshop are another choice.  

Zoom meetings can help you ease back into being involved.  Club gatherings are always a good motivator. Just do something to get you off the fence, thinking it will all be fine...

Help others get off the fence.  Lead the way. Don't procrastinate.  Just do it.  Get up and do it. If we sit on the fence too long, the world will pass us by. Pick up that To-Do list and start doing it. 

Whatever it is, just find something that will get you off that fence.
