Long before social media influencers were a thing and probably long after they're gone, off-roaders around the world will be guided and inspired by more experienced people they've met off-road. These off-road veterans, sometimes from an older generation, share their knowledge, which is honed by years of experience. The result is a better off-road world, a place where off-roaders learn from each other and can accomplish more than they could alone. Whether it's how to reseat a tire bead in the middle of nowhere, what to do when an axle breaks, how to tune a carburetor, or the finer points of trail etiquette, these experienced off-road veterans are indispensable and very valuable sources of guidance and information.
Randy Solis is just this kind of person, an unofficial guide to off-roading. Randy has inspired and led his children, grandchildren, and several of their friends into the off-road world. Recently, we got to experience, hear about, and see firsthand the effects of Randy's passion, guidance, and knowledge. Randy is an off-roader, and more specifically his main off-road muse is playing in the sand at Imperial Sand Dunes, also known as Glamis, and other areas in Southern California.

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.
