Fordyce Creek Meets Vintage Iron - Part 1

This is a group of vintage Willys Jeeps and Series 1 Landrovers Wheeling Fordyce Creek in Northern California. This was a 2 day trek. This video covers day 1 up to our campsite. Stay tuned for Part 2 …. We did all of the winch hills including Winch Hill 1 which is at 33:30 on this video.
Our tire size is 31” or less. This trail is tougher than the Rubicon but very doable with a Locker Stocker Willys so long as the water level is low.
This Trail is part of a California Quadfecta that we did in 7 days. The quadfecta includes:
Dusy Ershim
Barrett Lake
Fordyce Creek
Rubicon
Participants are:
Timm - Series 1 Landrover “Penalty Box
Ernie, Doc, - Willys CJ3A - “Lucky”
Jesse, Todd - Series 1 Landrover “SweetPea”

I am fully convinced that my fuzzy dice helped the Penalty Box on this trail. I may have to try two pair next time😉 Awesome video!!

[@nealesmith1873]

Outstanding video. Thank you.

Great Job I hated to miss this trip

[@dwaynemartin5174]

I'm 63 I sure don't miss those days of wheeling like that I love my 42s and Atlas and tons I did that when I was 18 and didn't know better lol

[@timmcooper294]

I'm the guy in the grey Land Rover "Penalty Box" I graduated up to the big stuff over the decades, but recently went back to my roots and am having more fun than ever. I'm a very physical guy and love the real driving challenge. I'm never going back to "tons", links and huge builds. I am forever grateful to Jesse, Stan and Jeff for re-igniting the smoldering embers and pulling me back into real wheeling !! 👍👍

[@richardmercer1430]

Awesome footage thanks! I've done the Rubicon but feel like I should haul out and store for a season. Need to do the Rubicon, Fordyce, Barrett Lake hat trick.

[@jpetrowich]

Yes, Barrett Lake and Fordyce are harder than the rubicon IMO but the three make for a gr8 week.

[@lewy1]

@@jpetrowichYes Fordyce is harder, but there is something special about the Rubicon.

[@billydouglas5966]

Nice video Jeff! Looks like a wonderful trail.

[@jpetrowich]

Shoulda been there man. Could have used your skillset.

[@nealesmith1873]

Early Land Rover led up to Original CJ5

Держись там Петрович!

[@ssilva9510]

had a 47 2a in high school 43 years ago. wouldn't it have been great if the military would have speced the jeep with a sm420 muncie instead of the t84j trans. with a 7.04 to 1 first gear that would have been a climbing monster.

[@ErikCords]

Loved the video, but I have to ask, where's Stan?

[@jpetrowich]

Stan was on another trip with his family. He and I will get together this month

[@PaulA-yh7kr]

Thank you for your time putting Theas vids together. I am trying to get my 3A done so I can get back to 4 wheeling fun. How do I contact your compony about some low gears for the Dania 18. Can't wait for part 2. and what happened Two Step at the camp? Paul

[@jpetrowich]

You can email me at [e-mail] … Two Step sheared a spring bolt Before that, she broke a spring which we clamped and welded on the trail. Thanks for watching!
