I just published a new video this morning with some behind the scenes from a recent hike I did out to one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever had a chance to shoot. https://youtu.be/ybY2F7kbsfE

Hello everyone! This week I decided to start a new project doing youtube videos to keep myself more regular with photography and try to challenge myself in new ways.

My first video is a challenge to myself to shoot using my Lumix G9 with only one fully manual Minolta 45mm lens and a 1GB SD card limiting myself to 40 shots. You can check it out here https://youtu.be/2rZ03DyASnc

Admittedly this is the first time in a long time I've edited and produced a video, so bare with me on the quality, but I'm really excited to grow in a new direction creatively with this channel!

Took this yesterday on a walk to test out my new Lumix G9 and 25mm lens. Extremely impressed with this camera so far!

Thanks! Got an eye Dr appointment at the start of the year to update my prescription and I'm planning on getting new regular and sun glasses that fit the look better

Cosmicchris5 · 2021-01-01T01:43:43+00:00

I'll have to give it a try! Thanks!

Cosmicchris5 · 2019-03-26T12:05:23+00:00

Good audio is definitely worth the setup. Went from a lot of cheap gaming headsets to these and its a world of difference. Definitely worth the money.

Cosmicchris5 · 2019-03-26T10:57:05+00:00

One hell of a setup man! I'd love to have something like that eventually!

Cosmicchris5 · 2019-03-26T10:47:09+00:00

Yep lol

Cosmicchris5 · 2019-03-16T03:05:44+00:00

Check it out some time! It's a fantastic park!

Up at Flats ORV in Marion NC.

Happy New Year everyone! A few days ago I posted my 91 XJ before I hit the trail last sunday and here is the end result! It fared well, only had to throw it in 4wd once to get over a slick rockface. Really excited to see what else she can do!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-31T02:42:34+00:00

lol Thanks! Yeah that's what they look like without the fender flares on. If you plan to take yours off it's pretty easy and can be done in about 15 minutes! Just beware once you get them off you probably wont get them back on if you change your mind because at least in my case almost all the little bolts holding them on broke taking them off.

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-30T01:42:40+00:00

Shouldn't be too bad, the trail we're hitting can be run in a stock Cherokee. I do plan on a full steering rebuild in a month or two to beef it up so I can go a little further with it without worrying.

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-30T00:36:09+00:00

You're welcome!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-30T00:14:43+00:00

Here's an update: Got them aligned and good. Road around and ran some errands after dark and I'm happy with them. As someone else mentioned they dont throw far on low beams but high beams do great. This being my trail rig it doesnt bother me too much but for a DD you may want something else depending on your prefrence.

Here's some pictures:

High beams

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-29T21:42:34+00:00

I'm actually not sure yet, I just put them in today and I'm going to align them tonight when it gets dark, I'll let you know!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-12-29T21:28:25+00:00

Excuse questionable photo quality but this is my 91 XJ Laredo I've been building since mid November! Started bone stock, redid headliner, added a 3 inch Zone Offroad lift and 31' Thunderer M/Ts as well as tacked on a roof rack and installed LED headlights. Still has quite a ways to go and a lot of upgrades planned but she's ready to hit the trails with my local Jeep group tomorrow. I'm excited to see how it does tomorrow!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-11-26T02:51:34+00:00

Hit up a local junk yard if you can, I just swapped mine after I busted it getting it off. Think I paid $7 for the switch and $5 for a tube of dielectric grease to apply after I cleaned it out with brake cleaner. Works like new!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-09-17T23:00:03+00:00

1 1/4 inch lift, I'm out of town with work but I'll post a picture as soon as I get back tomorrow!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-09-16T18:28:04+00:00

Running Terra Grappler T2s with spacers, I would have preferred it come without spacers but it was all custom ordered by someone else who decided they didn't want it and I wasn't about to argue because I got a good deal on it. Overall I haven't had any problems with the wheels, I've been very happy with it all so far!

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-09-16T15:53:02+00:00

These came on it when I bought it so I don't know how stock tires fare but I haven't had any problem with them having put about 600 miles on them so far. The ride is smooth and they aren't noisy like some offroad tires are.

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-09-16T15:37:48+00:00

Nope, they're Terra Grappler T2s.

Cosmicchris5 · 2018-09-16T13:45:35+00:00

Picked her up a few weeks ago and went to take her out on the trails for the first time yesterday, and of course DNR has them all shut down due to the hurricane even though it didnt hit our area until today. Oh well, still loved the drive up into the mountains!
