Here’s a shot of Rick Péwé, navigating his way though Saturday’s Ultimate Adventure trail run. Being the editor-in-chief of the largest-circulation 4×4 magazine in the world certainly has its advantages, but make no mistake. Pulling an event together like Ultimate Adventure is no easy task. Coordinating trails, camp sights, & drivers meetings for eight days straight takes hard work, dedication, & experience. By the last day there was simply no doubt on anyone’s mind. Rick Péwé knocked it out of the park and, with the help of the entire Petersen’s staff, pulled off one of the best Ultimate Adventures yet.

We’ve actually lost count how many times Chris Durham wheeled Ultimate Adventure. He’s a UA regular, and this year he brought out his newly build Jeep pickup. From what we could see, the rig conquered the trails of Idaho with ease. We took this shot right as Chris was squeezing underneath a fallen tree, near the end of Compressor Creek.

It’s rare to build a rig as radical as the one above and not fight gremlins on the maiden voyage. These common new build bugs didn’t plague Fred Williams and his Spider 9 powered Ultimate Adventure JK though. Eight days of hard wheeling and his new machine drove home without a single broken part. So very awesome.

Ultra4 racer, and GenRight founder, Tony Pellegrino has been taking to the trails lately. We’ve seen him travel just about coast to coast for the last year, or more, hitting every trail in sight. His latest stop? This year’s Ultimate Adventure of course. Here he is taking an awesome line, off the edge of a small waterfall, near the half way point from Saturday’s Idaho trail ride.

Nearing the end of Compressor Creek, Saturday’s Ultimate Adventure trail in Idaho, rigs had to negotiate their way through criss crossing trees while maintaining traction on a stream that ran right in the middle of it all. Needless to say, this trail was a big hit.
