Default from socal to AZ, NM, TX, LA, UT

I took a vacation over the holidays and took a road trip to visit family in Texas. Along the way we stopped in Phoenix, White Sands NM, Roswell, DFW TX, East Texas, Caddo Lake, New Orleans, Creole Route from NO to Austin TX, Albuquerque, Moab, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park. Here are some photos from the trip.

Good way to spend vacation time, nice pictures. How about more close-ups on the push/light bar. Price, source, and your opinion of it after using it.

It's a rally innovations light bar they are based here in Southern California.. Real great group of guys... Light bar install was pretty easy my next purchase from them will be their new redesigned skid plate..

Love the pics. Looks like you must have been in a few places with few other vehicles or people around.

Are those steel wheels with AT tires?
