Fordyce - Part 1

[@danapino-dempsey2148]

Dope rigs, video, soundtrack.. 🍻😎🤌 bunch of 42's love it

[@AdventureAwaits4u]

Thanks for taking the time to show the beautiful scenery that surrounds the trail and not just the trail. Also glad you are doing this in separate parts. One short video does not do this trail justice.

[@Crawl5280]

It's hard not to capture the scenery on Fordyce. We loved it!

[@beam3250]

Great video. Thank you so much for letting us „join“. I love the white longer 2door JL

[@sdrawz]

Amazing footage as always!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

And what did you learn about those RSE steps? They're not trail rated at all. I see that step popped open and he had to strap it closed. We had 2 sets and nothing but problems with them. What a beautiful trail tho the scenery is epic.

[@blakejordan2424]

Nice work on video. Definitely quality work

[@jasonadams4344]

These videos are awesome!

#TeamTrustFall😂. Dudes... seriously what an awesome trail. EPIC!! THOSE VIEWS😳😳😳. The scenery, water crossings. Awesome seeing that Ram g through those trails too. Lots of sweet rigs.

[@kevingoodrich3050]

One of my favorite trails. Take a look at Quack Attack and Rim Butte Trail system videos

[@austincorbiniv]

Looks like an amazing trail. One day I’ll make a trip out there.

Missed Diesel 🤔

[@Crawl5280]

Us too! He's been busy getting his rig prepped for the U4 races. We're excited to see him podium in 2022.

this vid is one of your best ever. that is all.

[@StormbornJKU]

One day I’ll hopefully make a run out to Cali and knock out rubicon and fordyce. Definitely looks like one hell of a trail!

Rasmussen's go hard in the paint believe me I know. I wheel my 🐏 to how funnyman. I just got 37" Yokohama geolander xmt mudder's woot woot🤠🤘🌅💪

[@henryoak2001]

Can’t wait to run this but wondering if I need 40’s before I do, how much struggle did the rigs on the 39 KM3’s have? That’s what I run right now

[@Crawl5280]

It honestly comes down to your driving abilities. 39's will be fine, but larger tire will help with clearance in some spots.

[@henryoak2001]

@@Crawl5280 right on I’ll stick with what I have then

[@henryoak2001]

@@Crawl5280 and great video I been waiting for this one

[@brainyhead1]

I had 37 KM3's in this video, it can be done, but 39 or 40's work way better...

[@henryoak2001]

@@brainyhead1 oh ha I assumed they were the 39’s right on

[@adamshartley]

Just had to say not sure I you would like it on 33s. DOH!!! I'm running 33s do you think its doable with 33s locked front and rear?

[@donhappel9566]

If you're really determined enough and willing to spend time winching and stacking (and stacking and winching, and some more winching, taking all the bypasses, etc...) then sure...almost anything is possible. But no, I wouldn't try it on 33s. I actually took a group on 33s into Fordyce several years ago. We got to WH1 and said F that! and ended up turning back. But I've done it end to end in a day with a group of Rovers on 37s. We even took one through on 34s but again, he took every bypass and still ended up winching a lot. And he's a very good driver, not some pin it and pray type. I'd say the guys from SierraTrek have it right - minimum is 35s and dual locked.

[@adamshartley]

@@donhappel9566 right on man thanks for the advice. 35s it is. 89 yj 5.13s, soa locked front and rear. And usually trailered so not worried about dents scratches and whoops! Lol and no doubt winching. Stay safe man 👍

[@donhappel9566]

@@adamshartley Keep in mind like most Sierra trails this is a thru-trail, so if you trailer you'll have to turn around and run the whole thing backwards unless you are street legal and can make the drive back around by highway. That's around 2.5 hrs. Or maybe you could pre-position a truck and trailer at Meadow Lake at the north end of the trail to pick up the rig when you are done. If you're built enough to run the whole trail up and back in a single day I don't think you'd bother asking questions here so definitely expect to spend a night if you're coming back out the same way you go in!

[@adamshartley]

@@donhappel9566 I will definitely keep that in mind thank you. My rig does have plates I just trailer for peace of mind. But I will pack for a over night just in case. But I definitely won't run it without a group. My jeep project is fairly new so it will definitely be a test to see what the next upgrades will be. Thanks for all your input I really appreciate it. Maybe I will see you guys out one of these days. Stay safe and happy trails 👣

[@deputymalinois]

Beautiful made video, but more obstacle footage of the jeeps please. 🤟🙂

[@vanleermatt]

Awesome!

[@brainyhead1]

can't wait

[@greenwithenvyoffroad762]

Well done! This trail is on my to do list!

[@randypruett5681]

Great video, music not so much.

[@claytonramstead]

Just for constructive criticism, your into is much too long. It becomes a nuisance to skip it because I don't want to spend over 1 minute watching the same clips I've already seen several times before. If it were only 5 or 10 seconds I'd probably just watch it every time, which I think is also good for your viewing stats and the algorithm. Other than that, great content 👌

[@saimhaim]

Looks like a good trail. Sponsored peeps running trucks they don't own. Dissatisfied.

[@Crawl5280]

Incorrect. These are not sponsored people. Each one is either the owner or an employee of each company they represent. Each driver also owns their vehicle.

[@brainyhead1]

I own mine and love wheeling it!

[@FlawedOffroad]

@@Crawl5280 there always has to be that one guy...

[@donaldhalls2189]

Just curious what difference is it Wether they drive for a company or not their still there to see how they go and have a good time doing it jealousy is a cursed great wheeling hope you all enjoyed it
