Zion | RO Explore

My favorite thing to do is be out in the wilderness where mass murderers and bears can come out to kill you without any way of calling for help because you know in all movies police or any government aid in the wilderness are pretty much useless. But for my wife’s happiness, I risked my safety and we planned a trip out to Zion National Park with Chivas, Shavi, Nimo, Derek, Polly, Angelo and Bonnie. Most of my photos will be covering the second day of the trip, since I wasn’t able to make it to the first day where everyone went off-roading.

429 miles, 6 hours and going 110 MPH thanks to my wife’s driving.

Crazy how they were able to build these roads through the mountains.

We made it to Zion late, but everyone still had a lot of energy to cook dinner.

Here we have Chivas over cooking a marshmallow.

Omelette.

Julia is the crazy hiker, who hears something scary and goes and check its out.

Me and my wife Julia.

Beautiful waterfalls all over the park.

Shavi getting one for the snappy snaps.

Chivas at peace with himself.

Everywhere is a toilet in the wilderness.

Shout out to Julia for carrying the heaviest backpack known to mankind.

Taking it all in.

It literally said “Danger Beyond This Point”, but she wanted to go further out for a better picture..

Couple stuff.

Threesome stuff.

Chasing waterfalls.

The people who didn’t bail.

It was suppose to rain all weekend, but lucky for us the rain cleared and the sun came out.

Just beautiful..

At night, you could really see the stars so clear, so we decided to venture around the park for some star photos.

Ending the night with some smores.

Shout out to this crew for cooking, being fun and not bailing. It was a fun time!

RO OFF-ROAD.

We ended this trip on a good note with Baby Stacks!

Definitely one of the most memorable camping trips I’ve been on. Thanks Chivas for planning it and everyone else for the good times. We definitely need to plan the next one soon!

Zion | RO Offroad

It hasn’t been long since some of us have fallen in love with off-roading, which really compliments our love of all things car, and exploring the world we live in. So, we decided to plan a Friday to Sunday camping and off-roading trip to Zion National Park in Utah. With Zion National Park only 2-3 hours away from Las Vegas, Nevada, and 6-7 hours away from Southern California; it was far enough to change the scenery dramatically. The first day was just filled with getting there, and setting up camp so we could off-road till the sunsets.

The primary off-roading vehicle; Chivas with his Toyota 4Runner overland build.

The secondary off-roading vehicle; Derek with his Jeep Wrangler Sport.

There was a light rain fall earlier, but cleared up perfectly in time for first day.

It felt like the cartoon movie “Cars” out here. The beautiful iron-filled surroundings gave the awesome rich red color to this area.

Just taking a dip.

Chivas leading the way on the off-roading trails.

It was the most fun I have had in the longest time being in this car and ripping through the creeks and streams.

Derek, Angelo, and Nimo were about to do some shenanigans.

Ripping through the stream with Angelo as a hood ornament.

These cows eventually blocked our path at one point. Until Angelo told them to “mooooooo-ve.”

You can just imagine a bunch of dinosaurs running across this area like Jurassic Park.

This ain’t a study area no more.

YOTA BOYZ.

So photogenic out here.

Here is a video of Chivas ripping through this area and hitting the rev-limiter:

That was pretty much day one of exploring and enjoying Zion National Park. Check to see what we did on our second day there.

Wekfest LA 2012 Part 2 (Angelo)

Wekfest Long Beach was one of the most anticipated car shows that I have been waiting for. One reason was because I was planning to show my car, and another reason was because I knew it would bring out the best of the best that SoCal has to offer.

I was hoping to have a lot done on my car for Wekfest, but time was not on my side. I was really busy with school, trying to get ready for finals, and work took up all my time on the weekends, so I ended up not changing anything. I did add one big piece of information, and that is my car is for sale. That was the main reason why I wanted to show my car at Wekfest. I wanted to promote it and let everyone know that it’s for sale. But enough about my car and me, and onto the show. Wekfest was spectacular like always. I felt like it was better organized than last year. We did not have to wait a long time to get our cars into the show, and the parking situation was well-planned and organized. The finest cars came out and displayed what they had. I noticed that the VIP style is very popular this year, and is becoming something very main stream. There were also a lot of nice functional cars on display ranging from Subie track cars to tracked out Civics. The styles of builds were endless.

On to the pictures!

I started off on the asphalt, where all the vendor cars were, and the first thing that caught my eye was this crazy Honda Insight. That is definitely the best-looking hybrid I have ever seen!

The Anniversary

After a delicious breakfast at BabyStacks Cafe, some of us headed over to Chivas’ place to get some of the cars cleaned up and to relax for a bit before the meet.

David, Chivas, and Nimo…probably checking Instagram.

The Sunkist. All wet.

BabyStacks Cafe

During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

Vegas Visitation Ikea

Chivas and Christine came down from Vegas to visit us and shop at IKEA for some furniture. We took them to a local joint for breakfast, and decided on Omelette House. I also got to test out my 5D Mark 2. Coming out of the house, I just had to stop and test out the Mark 2 on my SC. Photos came out way better than I expected; I definitely see the improvement of image quality compared to my D7000.

A Full Day.. Literally..

Today was jam packed with stuff to do, Shavi and I had to get some tires dismounted/mounted at 714 tires and then go get some KBBQ with the fam. The guys at 714 tires really hook it up and they do great work with mounting tires on aftermarket wheels. Rotiform trusts them, so we approve.

Enough tire labels to wrap the car if he wanted.

They have tons of tires in stock.
