So, the cake story was like a mystery. Maybe her name was Edith and they were fighting because they wanted to have the cake and Edith too… I’ll see myself out. 😂

[@davidchappelle6480]

🤣

[@H4rleyBoy]

🤣🤣😂😂👍👍

[@edwardsimmons3721]

I am a diesel guy so love seeing one on the trails.

[@4wdtennessee459]

The cake story sounds methed up.

[@larryflanigan2761]

scorpion was built for that terrain, which did an amazing job but the rhinocon which was built as a general wheeler did awesome for such a rig. great wheeling by both

[@davidpenwell7418]

Id say matt won some and the other guys won some keep up the amazing content and all the amazing work and everything they eles yall do stay safe and continue wheelin

[@jimmorton6335]

Yes the well is supposed to sound like that. That is the plunger rattling in the lubricator. When the well turns on it comes up from the bottom of the well pushing liquids to the surface.

[@ibdesertdog]

This is correct. 28 years of oilfield experience. I’ve operated hundreds of wells with plunger lift.

[@bleepinjeep]

Cool, good to know

[@firstwordcar]

Came here to find this answer haha

[@DarKMatter.1]

Yeah we call the plunger a rabbit we’re I live. That looks like an injection well too.

[@freeidaho-videos]

I have never understood the fascination with diesels in a sport where light weight is very helpful. Big rigs, construction equipment, and other applications where weight doesn't hurt or helps, diesel makes good sense. But off-road, racing, etc. it is style over function. And even tractors have mufflers. The scorpion is a very light and capable rig. Hearing banjo music in the woods always gives me the willies.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

Weight is everything.

[@bleepinjeep]

I would have thought the scorpion was light but we weighed it last February on video and it was over 6,000 lbs.

[@freeidaho-videos]

@@bleepinjeep Yeah, light is relative. Mischief Maker is 7200lbs, and that diesel must go 7500lbs or more.

[@donhappel9566]

@@bleepinjeep Hell, that sounds pretty light by built crawler standards! My Discovery on Rover axles (waaaay smaller than what you run) is 5500 lbs

[@f0r3v3r_]

Been missin' a good trail run. Thanks for taking us on yours!

[@mr_mongo7228]

Definitely some beautiful muddy country back there!

[@leroyll1144]

both rigs did a great job, but bleepin ruled the run.he knew what to expect,the rhino rig did pretty dang good for being cherry on this run.!! rhino needs to add a few things to stabilize body roll,that hurt him.!!

[@ClaytheBMXer]

The diesel jeep is cool. Looks like he had a vision in mind of something that was a little different, and he went for it. That's what makes it cool. That said, I have to wonder how many iterations it's been through and how often driveline parts have been broken and upgraded due to the extra weight and torque. Looks like it could do even better with some tweaks to the center of gravity and sway. The scorpion would be even more awesome (or "cheating" even worse lol) with a little more power. Great video! Loved watching both vehicles tackle these obstacles. Thanks for sharing!

[@northsidedork_3043]

No matter who won on the trail the viewers are the real winners. Great video, keep these comming!

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks! Will do!

[@offroadwithed]

Real cool! Enjoyed watching it.

[@johngruessing7042]

Matt knows the trails to well just the fact they both made it through under there own power makes them both winners in my book, well done guys that was very entertaining to watch peace out

[@jonaathansimons7938]

22:59 "It's solid" cuts @ 23:15 to a new anchor point...🙃

[@bleepinjeep]

Haha, good catch. It was solid but wasn't a good angle

[@DirtyDiezel]

I remember my first Cherokee. My girlfriend said it was dead at her mechanic's shop he couldn't fix it. I bought it sight unseen for 500. I toed it home, noticed the fuses were all rotten and falling out. I changed all the fuses and was doing burnouts in the street. Needless to say she was a little mad. At me and her mechanic! It was sweet 1989 Laredo fully loaded, power everything with cool chrome accents around little things. I lifted it custom 15",Made a real CUSTOM FRAME to mount the unibody to, with dana 44 and 9 inch rear 37" Boggers, and a cheap 89 dollar dynomax cat back exhaust that made everyone ask if it was a Chevy or Ford v8, I said nope Inline 6, STOCK LOL. . I didnt even know what a Dana 60 was back 25 years ago. Then I had a wicked wheeling trip where I made it over everything I never could, and ended up backing into a tree to get out of someones way. That led to chopping the rear off and making sort of a bobbed comanche. O sold it way to cheap and bought a stock 87 Comanche with an Iron Duke. Lifted it 12 " put leafs up front, 37" BFGS. Sold it way too cheap yet agin to build a house. Now I got a broken down Xterra Supercharged....Maybe someday I will get it lifted and going again lol.Its quite a learning curve going to a Nissan powertrain thats blown and needs a rebuild. I have no idea where to start being its supercharged I dont know if the block, crank, rods and pistons are different from a NA Xterra. If they are the same I will just go to the Junkyard and dig out what I need from a rolled Xterra... If anyone had the time to read this and can help with the Nissan Supercharged knowledge please leave a comment!!!!!

[@vinceimp9581]

Seemed like some kind of ram pump making that noise.

[@ritchiehostetter8232]

Great show. The Jeep was pretty nice just needs a few tweaks to it and a hemi.

[@ecurb2]

Great comedy watching the bleepin crew wear old man slip-ons at Windrock....LOL

[@jtweatherman3076]

Heck yeah! Good to see RCI on here - they're great people! They had worked on my ZJ down in Melbourne, FL.

[@karenpalmer2195]

I don't normally comment twice on one post but. Being a devotee of diesel it's good to see this one being so capable. And they said diesel wouldn't work for offroad.

[@robertpickett6907]

We all know Matt won but both rigs did well and i enjoyed watching.

[@comanchefun1612]

This is my kind of wheelin, exploring on foot is half the fun. The mf Josh clip with the monkey 😂dam.

[@Hillbilly-zn6lx]

BEST KZbinr around! Thanks for another great video, loved it!

[@benjy6358]

31:30 it suppose to sound like that..its a ramp pump, pumping water without electricity..

[@levicpatterson]

As always, great video!

[@garychaiken808]

Nice waterfall. Beautiful place. Good job guys. Thank you 😊

[@jamessavage503]

I would own either one of them rigs. But the rear stear on the scorpion crawler is awesome. That that diesel Jeep was pretty freaking awesome like what he did on the last part 3wheeled it up the hill on his side darn neer

[@SB-vt9tz]

Tractor convention 😂😅❤ Scorpion won.

[@rael6_4wd]

“Give a Hoot. Don’t Pollute!”

[@anthonypaules7893]

Center of gravity a little high on the diesel, but cool rig. Scorpion works really well.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

Especially in the front. That engine weights about 800 lbs which I would bet is about double the EGH 3.8 L. I would imagine the transmission is also heavier. Definitely needs a front sway bar.

[@mails5054]

@@Fix_It_Again_Tony The 3.6l is actually lighter than the 3.8l. Those 3.8ls are old, old. At least the 5 speed mercedes autos are good for being old

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

@@mails5054 I was checking them out. Looks like the 3.8 has an iron block and comes in a little above 400 lbs. The 3.6 is an aluminum block so it's probably 50 or so pounds lighter. It also makes a lot more power. The 4BT is 800 ish. It's a heavy bastard.

[@mails5054]

@@Fix_It_Again_Tony yeah i run a raptor swaybar with the 3.6l, its a like an antirock, but doesnt come with heims, and chinese lol. Im not spending 700 for a swaybar thatll rust away in minnesota. I have no issues on the loosest settings. I have an aluminum bumper with a frame chop on just 35s. Im small at 6 foot 1, 150. I couldnt imagine another 450 pounds, plus steel bumpers/heavier human

[@madman432000]

That 4bt sounds cool.

[@wendellharker6690]

It was fun to watch thanks. 😅

[@Chippy_777]

Trail 30 is one of my favorite trails at windrock, but we broke two track bars on the front of a friend's rig at the first ledge coming out and that sucked. Lol. We took a (mostly) stock Xterra through 30

[@MuddyElbows]

Long time viewer. Rhinocon is my mechanic. And seeing him hold his gas pedal makes me second guess my decisions. 😂😅❤

[@bleepinjeep]

😆

[@bullittdog4352]

Anybody that runs three pedals is gonna be the winner in my book…manual for life!

[@thejourneyretold]

That 4BT Jeep is so sick, just needs some rear steer and it would be unstoppable!

[@geriatricginger]

I'm a fan of the 4BT swap.. pricey swap, but nice. ;)

[@finishnailer1]

That diesel is bad ass!

[@jessporter3784]

That was a fun challenge episode.

[@xfactor5876]

Scorpion for the win!! Again!! Awesome Machine!!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Lol at the Funny looking tractor Following you matt like a lost puppy 😂😂 4:00 @BleepinJeep

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

That Diesel JK is a beast!! Funny I installed that same front bumper on my Liberty but my KJ is definitely not as cool as the Wrangler! Plus this Video has some sweet wheeling action!!

[@crashedking1931]

I think he was dinging into the bank and snagging on all his TRAIL RATED DECALS. But man that is one heavy duty jeep.

[@jameshill7694]

Ram pump. Been along time since I've watched bleeping jeep. BREAD THUMB!

[@cmac956]

I think you got him Matt ,good show .

[@jackspringer9283]

I've driving construction trucks for too many years, occasionally brought back 5x4 Transmission, dump trucks with a string because the fuel linkage broke.. you can get pretty busy back spreading stone with a string in 1 hand,hoist levers,2 transmissions and the steering wheel all at once 😊

[@moparmagic400]

If rhino woulda aired down a little more I think it woulda helped alot. Sweet rig

[@joshuawhittred-eo6kn]

Ok it's decided. He's got better throttle control with his hands. Lol.

[@robertr4193]

I think the video you were referring to about using a rope to act as a throttle cable was in Merlin's old school garage. When he was moving that old junker mobile home that had a diesel engine way in the back. Yeah sense they were able to get the engine running that was probably the only worth anything on that rig.

[@stevenwilkinson3290]

I think he was referring to the video Matts offroad recovery did with donut media. When the wrecker's throttle cable got wrapped up in the steering column.

[@Captain-Awesome]

The tractor was getting 25 mpg on the trail :). There is just something about the way they sound, I love it!

[@LostandRefound]

We were waiting for the punchline of the cake story. We weren't expecting it to be a real story!

[@bleepinjeep]

Lol, nope 🙅‍♂️ it's a real methed up situation 😅

[@lyndonhamby7432]

That Cummins would last forever 💪🏻🇺🇸👍

[@raullasvegas]

I was like 1000! Im here for the engagement!

[@davidprice5350]

The scorpion wins again nice job 🏁🏁🏁

[@ponypwr]

Wheel base hurts the Rhino. Very cool rig!

[@jasonwilson9283]

Not too much left of the Jeep in either one of those is there? Good content though!

[@brianslaugh3029]

The well noise is the plunger rattling there is a metal plunger in there for lifting water it’s a gas well so the gas flows on its own but the water doesn’t come up with it and eventually the water will build up enough to kill the well then they have to swab the well so there is a timer depending on how much water the well makes how long it flows between dropping the plunger when the plunger drops the desired amount of time the gas flow will resume and lift the plunger and in doing so it will lift water with it

[@MidnightMadness4x4]

Both Jeeps were pretty cool to watch. I've been missing my Cherokee Tuff Truck I got rid of lately since I've been watching BJ's Scorpion and MORR's Banana due to the colder weather moving in. I may have to grab another Cherokee some time after I finish getting my YJ a v8 and putting it back on the road.

[@bleepinjeep]

Gotta love the old xjs

[@rattles3044]

A true master with the finger! 🤣

[@driver-xx2pl]

That looks like prime mushroom territory in early april. I grew up where you could walk about a mile out the backdoor and find berries as big as your thumb. Those were good days. Kinda buried the lead with the blood aspect to the scene. The thing sounds like a thing to avoid, unless the saving of someone was missed.

[@gtoscowork]

I now rethink my Colorado ZR2 on trail No. 7…. Damn it!

[@firstwordcar]

Imagine the rhino with rear steer and sway bars 😮

Great video Matt and Josh And Mike and Chris his finger throttle was very impressive Matt and Josh won that Challen hands down you can't always be a Rock crushing basher and just full throttle all the way that Cummins spend more time at full throttle ON the optical then the Scoprion which had more Restrain and Finess 57:45 @BleepinJeep

That tractor dosent seem to be doing very well on this section lol 😂 more power and torque dont always help ya in slick mud 20:24 @BleepinJeep

[@tatehogan5685]

Great video guys! I am curious as to why you chose those tires for the scorpion?

[@bleepinjeep]

They are an inexpensive all around good tire that anyone can buy.

[@matthewhatton3637]

If there is a rainbow that means you need to dig for gold and right behind that waterfall 🤪🤙

[@owenwest2402]

The noise coming from the well is the natural gas flowing thru the pipe the sound is a rabbit aka plunger that when the well is cut off it sits at the bottom of the well then it opens the gas flows in from the well bore then pushes the rabbit up the pipe pushing the water and condensate up thru the pipe thru the separater then thru to the main line!

[@raystevens687]

That Jeep that's following it sounds like a tug boat 🚢.

What exhaust is in the scorpion? Straight piped?

[@granitesand78]

Matt, what’s your thoughts on putting a stroker in? I was thinking of doing either the Golan like MORR or Newcomer Racing, but I can’t find anyone who’s used Newcomer even on NAXJA. Wondering if you’ve heard about them. Thanks for the video! I’ve got Nick’s niftyshifter too definitely a 11/10 purchase for my aw4 it’s been a game changer! Everyone should get it
