I Broke My Gladiator...Again on Pritchett Canyon

Pritchett Canyon is arguably the hardest trail in Moab. We ran it two years ago and I broke a U-Joint in the middle of the trail.We came to run it again so Cara could do it in her Jeep and so I could get redemption. That didn't go well.

Time for RCV’s!

[@Termin8er04]

25:01 We may or may not have Yeeted that boulder over the edge back in October after it dented my Gladiator… Your welcome….. 👍😎🤣😉

[@robottaway]

Those spotters on Rocker Knocker were A plus!

[@Coolhansolo]

Dem boys can spot.

[@josephbyrnhopf2481]

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the presentation and personalities.

I'm sold I'm buying that winch!!

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Matt and Cara. Loved the trails & your rigs are beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Willcouick]

yay for Kara ! the same I was taught many years ago

[@RobDTom]

35:06 Pro Tip: Never try to be a hero and stop a rollover from BENEATH a vehicle! 😳

[@robottaway]

You guys are wild. Love that you aren't afraid to wheel it! Cara's JLU is the coolest my daughter wants that color so bad 😄

[@rbabler]

Awesome trail. Superb spotting!!! shout out to all your spotters. Great job!

[@mikeyc7072]

Mrs "Ozark Overland Adventures" is a Rock Star (pun intended)!! So Cool, Calm, and Collected - impressive!!

[@frenchie4wd]

Thank you!! This was my happy place!

[@mattlewandowski73]

If it says anything about this video, I watch you on my laptop which is attached to a 43" 1080p TV. I started with you on the laptop display while I was looking at an amazon order I need to make. By the time you guys hit brickyard, I had you full screen on the big display, and am now sitting in my chair with a solid 8 inches between my back side and the back of the seat propped on my elbows watching every inch of the footage close enough I can almost the individual pixels. Great Wheeling, and Great Videography! (Even if things went wrong.)

[@Flyingpigadventures]

That's funny. I was basically doing the same thing, except I was on the phone watching it, and had a movie on the TV, I shut the movie off and put the video on the big screen. Lol

[@josephinebustos8074]

Wow, these canyon doesn’t look like it fits for any vehicles to traverse but you guys are doing it. Woohoo Cara!

[@toddireland5922]

The trail has spoken. RCV's for Christmas in July!

[@sband941]

Always enjoy watching your adventures

[@raulanaya4030]

Thanks for showing me the day in the life of Ozark Overland Adventures in Moab!!!

[@beardedwonder1492]

As always…love the videos! You guys are great!

[@darksideemt]

Love you guys a ton as you know but that's a whole bunch of NOPE from me. Your Jeep looks so good Cara all naked but with the color match sun shades. Awesome job everyone!

[@mattlewandowski73]

Perhaps if you want to run Prichett, you need a dedicated trail rig built for crawling instead of camping. (or just build a rack for the bed that holds lots of spares. :) (I used to know a wheeler who did just that. when he broke something he bought two of it as replacements. one for the repair and one for the next repair)

[@Grunttamer]

One thing I wouldn’t do is get some newfangled extra strong aftermarket u joint. It will just break in a different harder to fix spot.

[@W2IRT]

@@Grunttamer I consider U-joints to be a mechanical fuse that protects the axle shafts, and the axle shafts as mechanical fuses that saves the super expensive bits down under.

[@erichartwig9633]

Ok...third time's the charm!! You'll get it next year!

[@windward_jl]

I feel the pain, but I have to say, this was one of the best Pritchett video I’ve seen that really shows what it’s like from start to finish. Thank you!

[@jpk0612]

Too bad their morons 😂

[@EmoryullivanS-hv7vv]

The Land Yacht. Crap happens but you took it like a champ.

[@williamedwards3002]

Wheel turned all the way to one side, going up super-grippy Moab rock, gassing it to bump up a rock, and the spotter actually acts surprised you broke a u-joint!!!!???? Hahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂 Who TF was that guy?? That’s literally exactly what I would do if I was trying to break a u-joint as fast as possible, Jesus lol

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I wasn’t gassing it to bump up anything. I was applying steady throttle to ease my way up. Watch it again.

[@carlosurquijo7819]

You should buy some dana 60's front and rear axle assemblies

[@Coolhansolo]

Sterling 10.5 rear. Tons n 40s

[@miguelmartin1488]

It was nice to see all the jeeps topples 👍 Like always top class video.

[@WolfOverland]

@ 8:30 that should be a framed poster for your house. That pink on the Moab red rock is epic 🔥

[@frenchie4wd]

Thank you!

[@rsdaarud]

One. Rough. Trail!

[@sh-df1bb]

I am seeing this video a little late. It is so awesome watching Kara conquer all the hard obstacles on Pritchett especially rocker knocker! I am so proud for her.I could feel the excitement from you guys. Glad y'all took us along for the ride. We're going back in October & undecided if we're gunna do Pritchett for the 1st time.

[@venture.explore.discover]

Definitely pushing your rigs to their limit. Huge respect for wanting to see what your overland build is capable of.

[@jerrywalker2699]

Very good video 😊

[@user-et8sn3hy8r]

Don't feel bad bud. That's some extreme terrain. Much Props, I got a sxs and wouldn't dare trying any of those runs. Even winching up. Lol 😅

[@UnwindingRoads]

Corey almost had that. Awesome video!

[@colinhoward74]

Seems like with the Gladiator , you need to carru a few u joints in your tool kit , even carry a rear for the possible event . The Gladiator is far more capable than expected

[@WhateverWithWheels]

I love that you left the footage of the idiot with the side by side in there lol should NEVER try to hole a vehicle from rolling. Great way to get squished.

[@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy]

Pritchett Canyon is no joke! Y’all handled it very well! A broken u joint and snapped winch line done really sound that bad when you see how hard this trail is.

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

great video! very nicely done! NEXT PEVEL!

[@Azntrutek2012]

You loaded Your jeep up too heavy. Lighting it up if you planning on rock climbing.

[@johnnykoba_on_the_road]

That was a killer run! Sucks your ujoint snapped!

[@Clouder77]

This is what I like to see! Find those weak points in the rig and improve. It’s fun either way . I’ve purpose built my JT as a hybrid overlanding / crawling beast. Maybe consider upgrading to the RCV Performance Ultimate 300M CV front axles.

[@mikesters3532]

Dana 60's or tons are in your future of you want to keep playing in the big rocks. 37's are pusing it on stock Dana 44's. None the less, great video and fun to watch.

[@PostFamilyPilgrimage]

Moab bump, huh? LoL great video as usual guys!

[@bennie873]

Cuddos for what y’all do!

[@ralphhammond6661]

Exciting for me but I don't about you guys lol

[@MarkinMaryland]

Dang.... I was hoping to see how your Gladiator did on the second half of the trail. How do you think it would have handled those obstacles if still healthy? Maybe next year?

[@kevinp2820]

😮 Intense situations on the trail, on the edge of my bark-O-lounger the whole video! Lol! You and Cara have mastered the art of wheeling IMHO. Gotta ask...was the u joint that broke stock? What brand did you replace it with and are they greasable? Great videos Matt glad TrailRecon introduced me to your channel.

[@Fit4Life921]

I just got some RCVs myself. I’m surprised you didn’t get them after last time

[@jessponce3314]

Hey Matt, sorry bout the breakage on the trail. You’ll get all together quickly cause that is who your. On another note can i ask you your gas mileage in the city and on the highway & off-road. Thanks man, PS love all the content. Be safe out there and good luck with that awesome gladiator.

[@adamsimon4775]

Really good video sucks you broke again but more good memories in the bag

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Technology is not far away from being able to do video analysis on all the pritchett canyon videos and calculate the probability of breaking an axle or something like that with a particular type of vehicle with a particular size of tire. We're not far. All the analytics that are about to be available I think are going to be really cool. I haven't heard anything specific I just know that it can be done so it probably will be soon.

[@Flyingpigadventures]

Holy cow, this was another awesome video. It was cool with yall having the doors etc off, nice touch Matt. I had to watch it on the big screen, lol. kara girl, you're AWSOME. Isn't that a little deja vu? Didn't you brake ujoint and winch last time, sorry matt. Also, glad Mjölnir ( jason ) was there. He did good. I'm more of an underdog guy. Great job, jason. Over all great great job on everyone. And Don't give sully a bad time he did good.

[@jameschaisson2569]

Thanks Mark

[@shanew.8784]

When we wheel something that technical we always carry spare axle shafts, you have room to do the same, easy trail fix, this trail it pretty much turning into a buggy only trail, 37s don't give a gladiator or a jk enough ground clearance,

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Yeah I thought just bringing a Ujoint would work but I was wrong. An axle shaft would have been a lot easier and faster. Lesson learned.

[@jamesstone1374]

Ouch.... Sorry man.

[@3smoke]

I think you found the limit of your Gladiator. I'd keep it off that trail. For the price of Dana 60's you could buy a dedicated rig for those more extreme trails.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I found the limit of my U Joints. LOL. I may or may not return to conquer this trail some day. A dedicated rig requires towing it out there and that's not my style.

[@psualligater]

I'm curious which axles those were that broke. Were those factory shafts/ujoints or upgraded ones?

[@michaelptm2269]

Hey Matt, I’m new to all this…When you said we are primarily an overland channel and not a rock climbing channel… What would you say Overland means or stands for….??

[@marceld6061]

Cara's front tires were getting stuffed into the fenders quite a bit. Would you consider downsizing the tires or lifting a little? Or flat fenders? I don't like the look of flat fenders but, that's just me.

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

Did you ever run Pritchett in your JK? or just the gladiator prior?

I love offroading . But doing crazy stuff that destroys your rig . I don't get it .

[@unlimitedj06]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@awhiskeycamper]

First, let me say- I enjoy your overlanding videos; I’ve been watching them for over a year now. With that said- Second- if you have to stack rocks, the trail isn’t for you. The people that run the trail behind you are trying to beat the obstacles and you’re taking it away from them. I will add this little caveat to aid your self esteem- I have a “juggy” JKU on tons and 40” stickies and I didn’t make it through Pritchett without breaking.

[@hjstrater]

I don't agree, stacking rocks and pulling cable is a necessity otherwise your not pushing yourself or your rig. Where I draw the line is pulling rocks out of the way, or cutting down trees to make trails easier.

[@happychefx]

Toyota driver didn't need to be told to stay on the skinny pedal . 😁😁 Also, you need to be passenger princess for now on when it comes to Pritchett, leave Sully in the driveway.
