Barney Riley Trail! Not as Easy as it Looks

After spending a night at Carson River Hot Springs, we decided to drive out to HWY89 by going up Barney Riley Trail.
The Journey was a bit difficult for one Vehicle in our Convoy.

Beauty of Electric Lockers

[@raygould5905]

Thank you guys for the videos. I base my weekend outings on your videos. You guys even helped us out on Hellhole when we broke down. Keep up the great videos. Thanks

[@paulpetraitis2130]

Angry Camper just makes these videos that much funner!

[@TheAngryCamper]

Thank you!!

[@charlesferris2317]

Thanks for giving us a look at this trail. I so wanted to make that turn up the hill when I was there in June. Now, I know it's passable, but not preferred.

[@TheAngryCamper]

Before I even watch, I am biting my nails, this was HARD!!!

[@TheAngryCamper]

Definitely pays to have an AMAZING teacher!!!! excellent guidance Vas!!!

[@TheAngryCamper]

I need bigger TIRES!!!!!

[@scottymac5174]

Awesome to see you folks do the whole loop! The trail going up from the river is a lot harder than doing it in the opposite direction.

[@markwolff9829]

Thanks for the vid. I was there with a group of 6 vehicles about a week before you. A stock JK, lifted JK on 38’s, lifted gladiators, on 35’s & 37’s, Forerunner lifted on 33’s, and a ZR2 Bison on 34’s. We started on at Hwy 89 and camped at the hot spring. The trail has really taken a beating since last time I ran it a few years ago. The ruts are ridiculously deep and off-camber areas resulted in paint damage and for us with campers, accessory damage to exterior propane tanks, etc..

[@TheAngryCamper]

I hear that, I lost all of my solar wiring and a few other things that day.

[@scottymac5174]

I miss your buddy with the Ram. He took that rig into places no Dodge RAM Extra Cab, long bed would ever go. Get Well!

[@scottymac5174]

The Behemoth. That huge Yota..

[@jlckwd]

I feel like that Big Tundra guy lives down here near me in the South Bay...I swear I saw that rig this morning

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

He sold his Camper few months back, so must be someone else

[@daveoffroad7396]

Great video Vas..!

[@scottymac5174]

Going up has to be harder. It sucks seeing it all burned down. You used to drive through Aspen groves and green meadows.

[@Crash1155]

Seeing vids of XJs on trails is making me want to get my XJ on the road faster

[@scottymac5174]

Back in 2010, I did this whole loop. With my 04 Tundra. From 89 to 356. 2" lift. going downhill. Probably a 4.

[@scottymac5174]

After the fire, a lot more runoff. Waay more knarly than when we did it 12 years ago. That lower section used to be the easy section.

[@avamoore5647]

Late to the video, however, as I was watching the video I kept wondering why your “weakest link”-the Tundra-was the last in line. . . .

[@scottymac5174]

Going Uphill, today.. ,probably a seven..

[@Tacoexplorer]

That Tundra needs a rear locker BAD. I might take this trail out next time I go to Carson River. When will you guys be at the hot springs next?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

when it snows there hopping in January

[@Tacoexplorer]

@@4WDAdventureCrew yeah im waiting for snow as well.

[@Mortiverus76]

I love your videos. I have a Cherokee XJ like yours but here in Germany we don't have any trails and you're not allowed to camp anywhere in nature like you can easily do. It's a shame but we can watch your videos instead.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Thank You. Yeah i hear you, California is Trying to Adapt same crazy measures at Germany has. i hope we will not get there any time Soon.

[@TheAngryCamper]

I want to run this with no camper and with 35s. I feel like I would be so much more confident!!

[@MikeWhitmore-g3o]

love the videos , what is the safest river flow that you would cross?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

600-700 anything higher you will get water in your rig

[@scottymac5174]

a lot of sheet metal on that Yota..

[@samjohnson9894]

Nice job, on the trail and the video production. Is this trail in CO? As far as ratings go, OnXOR tends to overrate the trails. That trail in typical off road ratings would probably be a 3. The ruts do not impact the ratings. Only rock size does. And a 3-rate trail has rocks which average 10"+, in the path of the tires. Also, that Tundra is pretty much at the max wheelbase you'd ever want to take off road. Many trails I run it would not fit, regardless of the terrain. The XJs, 3rd-gen 4runner, or 80 series (what I run) is about perfect wheelbase for technical, extreme overlanding (just-shy-of-rock-climbing capability). Happy Trails! Sub'd.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Trail is in Northern California and Nevada Border

[@raygould5905]

Where can i purchase your shirts or other gear with your logo?

[@TheAngryCamper]

There is a link in the description for the facebook group as well as for the merch :)

[@AllAboutTheOutdoors32]

What time of the year was this taken? I've been thinking on going but with winter coming up, not sure if its possible to make it with snow.

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

[@paulpetraitis2130]

As hard as BR trail was do you think it would be easier doing it in reverse, in at 89, out at 395?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

Going down BR would be easier but still a lot longer then from 395. It’s a fun trail to explore if you have time

[@JoeVizethum]

FMJs or HPRs flying around - very strange .....

[@everready19373]

Why is your Jeep named "crew chief"? Are you ex U.S. Air Force?

[@4WDAdventureCrew]

No it’s not military reasons, it’s just a reference to old-school Jeep Cherokee Chief, and it’s always the first Rig in our adventures to is a Chief of the crew. If that makes sense.

[@scottymac5174]

If you go to the hot springs. Not wise to go out this way.

[@TheAngryCamper]

It was quite the adventure leaving this way lol. I really want to do it again without the camper and on 35s.

[@ryansearlybronco]

Stock 4wds do it… it’s easy.

[@mountainman4756]

Thank You! ran it today in my tacoma, given im on a 3 inch with 33s and a locker, but still not that hard. It is totally suitable for overland vehicles, as long as you have a driver that knows how to actually drive and pick a line.
