[@rubichronic2011]

Thanks for the update on Cabin Lake. Haven’t been there for several years and I wasn’t sure if it was still accessible after the floods. Glad to see you got the new rig out on the trails.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

You welcome!! Trail is a bit more fun now, unfortunately the other way out through lightning lake has been totally taken out my the flood it was fun to make that loop......new rig is so much fun to drive!!!

[@dailydrivenH2]

finally happened was waiting for this video ..

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

yeah it was good to get this video out i've been so far behind on editing!

[@Plug4Fotos]

I was on the Grip team that filmed Jurassic World on that bridge its wild going back thru there and seeing what the flood did.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

That's cool!! Yeah it's crazy what the flood did!!

[@hummermob1564]

Awesome trip, let's go again very soon

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

Had a great time can't wait to do it again!

[@globuspallidos]

The most important part of any off road video is the location .. can you give us a general Idea of the location in BC pls?

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

It's near Merritt

[@cinemabunny]

Can Am makes an electric dual sport motorcycle. You use up half of your range getting to the trail leaving you just enough to get home. You don't trust going into trails without a full charge. There is a reason for oversized tanks and jerrycans.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

Yes very true, I ran into a guy on the trail that had an electric dirt bike he was having hard time climbing up a steep hill with all the torque from the ev motor it wanted to flip him over backwards, yes ev is really good for day trips longer trips are more difficult and have to be planned out

[@Kronusoverland]

Can you still do whipsaw trail in the electric ??

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

I think it's possible

[@JustEmptyEveryPocket]

Whipsaw is easy (2/10). Lets see this thing do the Marble->Limestone connector :P

[@Kronusoverland]

@JustEmptyEveryPocket we are planning on doing whipsaw this summer,,, I watched your video with your daughter in it,, thank you for the info

[@Scoobienorth]

Was that 9700 pounds with a full tank of electrons?

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

🤣

[@EnzotheGreat3537]

How far can you go? Will you have issues in the cold? Good luck pulling that tank out. This guy will get rid of this electric trap in 3 months. Lol this is not realistic, keep looking at your voltage or whatever amount of power you have left every 10 mins, that's completely stressful.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

First of all thanks calling my dream vehicle an electric trap, I've had this truck for 6 months is been great! Yes there is about a 20% loss in battery in winter, but the same thing happens in the winter up here in Canada with a gas powered vehicle on winter fuel you loose fuel economy, I'm not worried about driving my truck more than 10 mins you are misinformed about ev's my friend. Yes ev's are not for everyone, but man this one is so much fun to drive and i have no worries

[@n3d.studio]

the weight of it, I think I'll stick with my H2's. And the lines at charging stations, couldn't deal with that. Need hydrogen fuel cells to take off. Hummer already a heavy vehicle and extra weight doesn't help for off roading. I'd take the H1, looks like 40's on there.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

My ev is about 1,000 lbs more than my h2, weight has never been an issue for me full size trucks are not for everyone just like EV's are not for everyone, it's what works best for you no matter what you drive, that H1 is on 42's yeah it's sick Thanks for checking out my video!

[@n3d.studio]

@@TheUnexpectedOffRoad I think it's closer to 2,000 lbs more, H2's are around 6800lbs and the new ev's are around 8800. Also, I don't know if there's any way if you wanted to lift one and go bigger than 37's with the ev. I'd like to lift 1 and put 42/43's on an H2.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

Yes you are correct close to 2k, ev loaded with gear is 9700 lbs, h2 loaded with gear is 7,936 lbs, so it's a 1,764 lb difference it's more than i thought, I'm not sure bigger than a 37 is a good idea on the EV, the H2 can do 40's with a small body lift, yes 42's would be sick on the H2, but I gotta say the H2 drives so good on the 37's, I'm working on a front locker for the H2

[@n3d.studio]

​@@TheUnexpectedOffRoad weirdly, I actually like the look of the ev truck over the suv. I don't know why, maybe because the design started with the truck first. it's something with the back end on the suv, it doesn't look very much like a hummer there. I know the shorter wheel base is better for off road but actually looks better on the truck with the long wheel base. If they made a camper shell that matched the truck bed that would be really incredible.

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

Yeah the truck definitely looks more hummer like i do agree, yeah picked the suv because how tight it does turn and the ev truck does not come with a spare tire the ev does, that's what sold me on the ev, and I do agree about the rear of the truck it's just a different design, there was a company that did make camper for the back of the ev truck but it was crazy expensive and the went out of business
