Wow, sounds like you had a close one! I'm glad you were able to live through watching my video, I appreciate the kind words.

I am also going up for a New Years trip, I second that question about the trail conditions going up Surprise Canyon

@@GreatMoleRatCharles 4 wheel drive is advised

@@nickbreakseverything we did it without 4 wheel drive, just drove up in a Hyundai and backpacked the rest of the way up and stayed for a few days.

temperatures there in Feb. and March will probably be just as cold

So much more to explore over there.

hahahaha! Yea.

Thanks for the kind words! Yea, that tree wasn't on any main route but I always think if I don't move it then who is?

Yea, I would definitely do that in my Jeep

@@nickbreakseverything I really enjoyed watching you pinstripe your rig, a man after my own heart.

@@chiefknowstomuch lol🤣

That's awesome! I'm going to be heading up again in a few weeks to try and get to the summit this time.

Yea, that was earlier this year. I'm headed back there in a few weeks to do it again. We'll see how it goes!

33in tires. no lift. Completely stock.

@@nickbreakseverythingis that a 285/70/17 bf goodrich on a raptor rim?

@@mlbBORNEO Yes on the tire size and then the rims are the wheels that come on the Tremor package.

Yea, it's the same Ranger. The dent in the bed is on the driver side. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yea it was so beautiful of there.

Seriously hahahaha

Yea, he is a good dude!

@@nickbreakseverything that dude fucking SUCKS! I hate that little man.

This is a great honest question. I definitely see it from a different perspective than thrashing my truck. The memories of people I've met and places I've been and enjoyment I get testing my limits as well as my equipment's limits far out way anything else. I have crinkled a few different vehicle before the Ranger so I am no stranger to body damage. It's just metal. I actually admire trail damage if you could believe that. Now don't get me wrong. I don't intentionally try and damage my vehicles but I'm also not necessarily afraid to try a hard line that may dent or scratch the truck up. The way i see it is that I have more fun in one day in my truck than others ever have the entire time they own their vehicle. 😄

Yea, we could have done that way too. Two weeks before we did this ride we hiking down and cleared as much as we could. The trail to the right was really overgrown. Also our car was parked at the top of Camp Creek

Glad you enjoyed it 😄😄😄

Yea, driving without power steering through rocks is never easy.

He did after I drove out of Buck Lake. My camera man had never rock crawled before so I drove my vehicles through those 'tougher obstacles' before he jumped in to drive my Jeep.

Yes! Yes! And Yes!

Yea, sliders are a must. I suppose you could get away with 31s if you have more ground clearance than my ranger. The ranger is very low to the ground. If I had 31s on my Jeep then I could easily get through just cause it has so much more ground clearance.

That makes sense.. way to persevere

Fabricate a high clearance rear bumper and trim the back of the bed sides where they got pushed in and install a winch.

I did. I used the stuff that one of the Rubicon members gave me for cleaning oil off rocks and made many passes to attempt to clean it as best I could.

That's literally what everyone that saw me was thinking and saying. I was having a great time. Until I was sick.

I like an adventure!

The electric motor was filled with water and it shorted it.

Like that ? I think not.

It was a crazy few weeks on the Rubicon this year. A lot of people were definitely tested. That's what it is all about though!

Thanks for the comment Hans! Help it go viral. Keep sharing it!
