Ultimate Adventure 2014 - Part 1 - Four Wheeler Network
That is an apex challenge that everyone in that sport or hobby would one day like to conquer or at least get the opportunity to attempt. These apex challenges can be a test of mental fortitude, preparation, physical extremes,or even just a personal goal. For many off-roaders the Mount Everest of off-roading is Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road’s Ultimate Adventure. On the UA, extreme off-roading of all kinds is coupled with camping, long road trips, and inevitable component failure. For the past several years, various readers, sponsors, and old cronies have followed Rick Péwé around the lower 48 (and maybe even into Canada a little once) on a trip that tests both vehicle and crew—and which is designed to be a ton of wheelin’... This year’s Ultimate Adventure started in and ended in the Midwest, with the start in North Platte, Nebraska, and the end in Salem, Missouri, with visits to Iowa and Illinois mixed in for good measure. With the group traveling just under 1,400 miles in seven days, UA 2014 was not the longest traveled UA, but it was still tough and grueling…and a ton of fun. In order to participate in the UA, you have to have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle with at least 35-inch-tall tires, lockers front and rear, a winch, recovery points front and rear, a spare tire, a jack, a first-aid kit, and more.
