Ultimate Adventure 2021 Presented by Rugged Ridge
Four Wheeler|March 2022
In our Part 1 coverage of Ultimate Adventure 2021 Presented by Rugged Ridge, we had just arrived at the new Katemcy Rocks K2 off-road park’s campground just outside of Mason, Texas, after beginning in McAlester, Oklahoma, and meandering through the backroads and scenic byways of the lower Heartland.

By now, many in the group had made repairs that ranged from minor to substantial and had overcome many challenges to remain a part of Ultimate Adventure. But fun and glory comes only to those who go grab it, so when the sun broke on Day 5 of UA2021, it was met by a full complement of participant vehicles and attendees ready to air down and grab some granite!

Yes, it's true that with the exception of running the Rubicon trail twice (first in 2001 and again in 2016) the Ultimate Adventure doesn't retrace its steps. So, although UA2007 did technically visit Katemcy Rocks as one of that year's trail days, it wasn't this Katemcy Rocks. Randy Kruse and Shain Chapman, the same great people who started Katemcy about 20 years ago, found this new location after their original land lease expired. In our opinion, the new Katemcy Rocks, which they playfully refer to as K2 is a much better location with much better terrain. How good is the terrain? Well, the majority of us all agree that Katemcy Rocks K2 is now one of our all-time favorite rock crawling spots in the entire country.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

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.
