     Slowly most of us in Royal Origin are converting from slammed cars to lifted trucks and off roading. What an extreme change.. I know, but I guess we’re over scraping and we actually like climbing over big trails and rocks. When it comes to off-roading, camping goes hand in hand, so we decided to go to Pismo Beach to camp and try out Chivas’s new RZR. dsc00417

    Angelo’s 350z still not getting enough love. It’s for sale by the way…

    We got to Pismo at 1 AM and my Venza got stuck in the stand. Did you know the Venza doesn’t have tow hooks? What the fuck right? Chivas had to pull me out of the stand by my suspension.

    The next morning we got to work on our camp site.

    So awesome that you can camp right on the beach, the sound of the waves is so soothing.

    Loved the campfire vibes. The vibes were so good that Vince fell asleep.

    The next morning we had a photo shoot of Chiva’s 4Runner and damn it looked good next to the waves.

    Man I want one.

    On our way back home, we stopped by Oxnard for Topper’s Pizza. A must try if you’re ever in this area.

    Until next time…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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