Breakdowns and Big Rocks on the Unreal Adventure

[@estevanurrutia2007]

God your rig looks soooo much better now that’s it’s a regular jeep again 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thedirtheadshed]

It’s definitely come a long ways

[@rabidcoyote97]

I’m still amazed at all the thrashing you did, then drove 1500 road miles BEFORE taking it on some insane trails and having to drive it back home. They are large, and they are brass!!!

[@evintacy7272]

You said it ❤ Dave’s the man!! Truely enjoy this man😊

[@thedirtheadshed]

That was a blast. It’s always a little nerve though

[@MatthewHarrington72]

It’s family movie night and my little guy asked to watch Dirthead Dave! Thanks for making fun content! Keep up the great work!!! These UA videos are awesome!

[@itsm00t]

That’s what I’m talking about!

[@thedirtheadshed]

That’s awesome. Hope you had a great weekend

[@rednexpeditionoffroad3702]

Whether hes building cool stuff or wheeling with buddies, Daves videos are always a good watch! Diggin the jeep truck thing big time!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much. Time to get back in the shop!

[@cw50must]

The videos from this trip have been so good, thanks for taking us along!

[@asa572]

Live in Australia and my XJ is illegal on road on 33's. I so wish we weren't such a fecking nanny state when it comes to modified vehicles. Some awesome builds on UA this year as always. Good work Dave

[@UnrealAdventure4x4]

Ours are mostly illegal too in the letter of the law, but we get away with it partially because safety in numbers and largely according to casual use and enforcement of said laws. Basically don’t be a jackass and you usually don’t get treated like one. Most cops are totally cool to us and the very few that aren’t we just deal with. We have had multiple escorts in and out of town (the good kind) over the years, and all spontaneous, at their instigation, not ours, during UA. Cheers!

[@thedirtheadshed]

It varies state to state it seems. Arizona and New Mexico seem pretty lenient

[@grahamgeiger3206]

Washinton seems pretty lenient also. The only times I've had issues I fully deserved it and even then it was just warnings. I got told to get home safely one night once with only 1 headlight, no taillight, 2 tires on rims, and no plates or registration.

[@ChronicOvertightener]

Not only is it unreal, one could go as far as to call it the ultimate when it comes to offroad adventures. Good stuff !

[@thedirtheadshed]

It’s pretty good

Thank you

[@justingriggs3766]

My daughter and I are about 20 minutes south of Auburn Alabama and we don't have the rocks as they do up north or out west, more mud and hill climbs and dried up creek beds. we got started and have so many memories from watching Dirt Every Day and Extreme 4X4. Don't know the history of why they got taken off of TV but, we are loving your content and hope do you continue to put it out. I'm not rich and it's the same kind of thing that that you do on your shows that my daughter and I have always did. We built our vehicles from what we had laying around or what we could trade to get what we needed and she has added so many ideas to our rigs from your shows over the years. great job, we love it.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Sounds like you are living right.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Amazing how those vehicles did all the road miles and then took on the rocks like it was nothing. Continued success with your rig Dave!

It is pretty wild. They get better every year

That hill reminds me of Cabbage just south of Pendleton, OR.

You could have lost me in that museum. In a previous portion of life I was a geologist. Never got into rock climbing because I'd have spent too much time out of the vehicle reading rocks.

Hi Dave! This is my first year to watch AU. Now I know they call it Unreal Adventure. Loved the awesome road repairs. JTT is doing astounding. Can you imagine if it has a double T-case. Just wondering how much trans cooler or radiator does the rig needs to solve the overheating problem to run those big tires on the highway. Excellent wheeling footage 👍👍👍👍👍.

[@thedirtheadshed]

The big tires definitely soak up some horsepower

[@eknuds]

With that thick steel bed you built for your Jeep you could build a fold down work bench on top of the bed so you wouldn't have to weld stuff back together on rocks.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Good call.

[@atlasoffroader796]

I remember wheeling at chile challenge a couple years ago near caballo lake and those rocks were sharp! tore my milestars to shreds :(

Yeah. It works well. Just not sure how much stress it puts on the transmission. I’m sure it’s fine

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

I’m sure you’re putting more heat in with the converter and wearing the clutches harder. Definitely keep an eye on your fluid for contamination and burning smell and change it, but stock power and the converted reducing shock loads is helping keep it alive

[@karmatose]

I'm not sure I'd get the DJI gimbal. I have the Osmo Mobile 6 and while it works great, it really only works with the DJI app. And there's some security concerns there. That's not to say you can't just use it with the built in camera app but a lot of the cool features go away. I don't have a recommendation for you but that's my thoughts on it. Thanks for the vids!

[@thedirtheadshed]

I just need to use my GoPros more often. They’re paid for

[@taunovalo2964]

A basic GoPro works really well hand held. You just need image stabilization not gimbals. They do eat through batteries tho. Phone is good for B roll and interview stuff with a better depth.

[@thedirtheadshed]

This is a fancy Sony. Greet camera. But not great hand held

[@taunovalo2964]

⁠man you must be missing something in the stabilization settings.

[@JWood62]

GoPros would not have lived in that Arizona heat. They'd be overheating within minutes
