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.”

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.
