Jeep Adventure to Gridlife Alpine Horizons in Colorado

[@NotICON]

Dude watching you work your way through some of those obstacles. I had some major pucker going on. Gotta love all that MetalCloak armor protecting your Jeep and taking the hits like its supposed to.

[@AutoEdits]

OH MAN! You got that right... I keep forgetting to give a shout for how amazing that stuff has been!

[@najiinaj8263]

Yea this gave me almost a real life experience in what goes on in those trails. You did great thanks.

[@souledoutrc8174]

Holy crap that was awesome and a great experience you gave us on this trail. I thought you were going to tip a few times but with an awesome Jeep build and some nice guidance was amazing

[@AutoEdits]

Good spotting is key to surviving stuff like this for me! Thanks for coming along!

[@TheZigZiggy]

I hope you're going to show us all the dents, dings, and scratches you got on that trip 😱

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Absolutely killer video man! Your content is on point and the effort you put into it really shows.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@AutoEdits I'm honestly shocked that your videos don't have more views. It's definitely professional-grade content and had me engaged. So I'm sure you're user watch time numbers are pretty good. I think your channel will be growing rapidly in the near future. Just subscribed

[@kippnashleymiller3752]

Dude I was laughing my a$$ off and physically moving in my chair trying to help get you through the quagmire of boulders. You did very good and I’m surprised your Jeep didn’t fold in half. WOW!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@Nigelv]

Thanks for the great video and keeping it family friendly. I watch with my 2 year old son and 4 year old daughter. They love the jeeps and pinto

[@AutoEdits]

Love hearing this and that is my goal to keep it friendly for all viewers!

[@yogi6931]

Priceless vid, especially with shots of Phoenix. 1. smiling 11:44, 2. you got this, laughter 11:56, 3. biting her finger looking like she just peeing alittle 12:22, 4. nervous laughter, like all hell no 13:36, 5. wait where did she go, I'm out 14:00. Need more vids with passenger reactions. Great wheeling! you only get better with every trail.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks and I agree, other people make for more fun! Phoenix and Ryan are an amazing couple of people!

[@cowboydavesadventuretime3893]

I got agitated watching this. I can’t imagine the anxiety level on your end. Your trip to Death Valley is more my speed. Glad you made it out alive. Great video.

[@jonathanrowland6498]

I live in Colorado Springs and am really impressed with this video. The Independence trail systems are no joke and usually run by buggies. It was awesome to see the Jeep drive to and from the trail and still conquer those obstacles. Great job!

[@pro2am]

....aaaand THAT's why you bought Metalcloak armor and lift. Nicely done on the rocks!!

[@AutoEdits]

You got that right! I actually called them when I got home and thanked them for making such good stuff! I'm very happy about it!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

so i live here in CO and i know about penrose lol... you had me puckering on that one and i'm just watching a video haha!

[@AutoEdits]

HA! It was a pretty good trail!

[@B_WillGoPro]

Man!!! thats some pretty Knarly crawling! AWESOME!

[@AutoEdits]

It was pretty intense... I learned a lot and had some fun!

[@diceman3146]

You did great man!!!! You built an awesome Jeep. You should be proud of yourself!!!!!!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much!

[@Dargnot]

OMG the noises!😬 Awesome video as always. Can’t wait to see the aftermath update on the Autoedits Jeep.

[@7sinscustoms]

My wife and I miss San Bernardino National Forest, having now moved to Eastside Seattle from Rancho Cucamonga, CA. But, the new adventures begin, and I am getting set up to start my own channel in the near future. Thanks for the content, and the inspiration for a Pacific Northwest Version.

[@AutoEdits]

Sounds great! Good luck on your channel!

[@jeremybaze3445]

You should feel very proud man I grew up in Colorado and the trail systems and know first hand that indy is one of their harder trails that most locals won’t do so congrats

[@AutoEdits]

It felt serious at the time...LOL and I do really appreciate hearing this from you though!

[@huf67]

"I'm not that guy"... You gotta love the honesty !!! I'm not that guy either but too my grandson out to Moab this summer and I had to be that guy real quick. We were out there by ourselves and being from Indiana, I sorta got myself in above my head. But fun was had by all and we made it home safely. I've been on a couple of other nasty trails since then so maybe I'm becoming that guy !!! 😁

[@Steelviper61]

That's what life is all about! Get off of the couch and DO IT man! Yeah! Great Job!

[@AutoEdits]

HECK YEAH! Thank you!

[@oldmanbuild]

I get the same feelings off camber on rocks, but when the trail guides know the trail Guides Know. Thanks for showing how I feel in the same spot. OMB

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you! Just keeping it real!

[@aberteig]

I've been watching you build this thing since day one - great escapades! I love the look on your face - "No way! I just did that!" Awesome and keep it coming!

[@AutoEdits]

I'm so stoked you have been around for so long and share the passion for the off road! Thank you!

[@cephalonplant4087]

You said no many people watched this video so here I am to show some love

[@AutoEdits]

You rock! Thank you!

[@shelby9255]

Awesome!! This is how I feel on the little trails! You captured the genuine fear/adrenaline and then pride of accomplishment incredibly well! Good work on those trails, Jason!!

[@Tony3deee]

Oh Man! That was awesome! I'm sitting at my desk at home in a cold sweat.

[@bcmandel]

Colorado has some of the best trails and amazing scenery. Been wanting to run that trail for a while now. Going to wait till I put better axles under my sport with some lockers and more than just 35s before I do. Good on you for pushing your limits, you have progressed dramatically in the years I have watched you. And kudos for driving a stick, autos are wheeling on easy mode.

[@frankmuniz2249]

I've been saying that you have been taking lots of trips to run rock crawling and trail riding so you found yourself a new hobby. You're getting better and better every time

[@jessymaheux4291]

you rock Jason!! and your jeep is great!! You can be proud of your work!!

[@fasterthanyou7605]

As ALWAYS, I’m excited to watch and feel included in your trips. Me and the wife continue to watch and upgrade our JK along with you! Keep it up God Bless!

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate hearing this from ya!

[@RubiconUnlimited]

Wow man you put that jeep through its paces! You were scared? That's okay, because so was I just by watching! Nice work!

[@ognaysayer]

Wow that was some intense wheeling! Awesome video!

[@AutoEdits]

It was a good time... I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@everydayjeeper6583]

Dude that was intense!! Lol!! I was nervous FOR you haha! I don’t know how you didn’t roll. yikes! Glad you kept her roof up! Love your Jeep build man. 😁👍🏼

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! It was scary but fun!

[@hg7240]

I found your channel in early 2016 while pining for a Jeep. I just recently revisited it (still pining) and I must say I'm still impressed at your content and delivery, but man has your driving skills come up-good for you for enjoying your Jeep the way you do. cheers

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

Awsome driving you handled that freakin amazingly... Keep the videos comin....

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks a ton!

[@bryanhernandez9188]

The jeep is looking awesome! Getting better with every trail!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@VisualOverland]

I got an ab workout watching you go down the trail! Ahhhhhhhh! Definitely shaved some weight off on that trail! “It’s not dented, it’s more aerodynamic!”- me

[@AutoEdits]

HAHA! I like that!

[@88jstick]

Glad to see you got to wheel in my home state! There are some serious trails that I need to hit up, when I get a chance to go back in my metalcloaked beast!

[@BradHilton1963]

I don't blame you! I would have been crapping my pants too! Good spotters are a must!

[@AutoEdits]

YOU BETCHA! Kris is great and awful at putting me in situations like this...LOL What are friends for!

[@kevinbates5760]

Great video!! Loved the wheeling parts.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much!

[@Dmcummings48]

Probably my most favorite video you've done yet. AWESOME footage and great job listening to your spotter. Its tuff to listen to someone else at times but you pulled it off like a CHAMP! THANKS JASON!

[@AutoEdits]

WOW, thanks so much! I really appreciate hearing from ya!

[@MrThepieceful]

Great video! I was nervous and shaking over here as well 😱🤙🏼👍🏼😂

[@AutoEdits]

Ha! Hopefully in a fun way...🤣

[@MrThepieceful]

Oh yea that was fun and i like what you're doing to your jeep!! Giving me a lot of ideas for mine. Keep up the great videos!

[@rick49721]

WOW! That was absolutely incredible! Definitely was holding my breath through those rocks! Great job brother!👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@jeffm.7268]

Welcome to Colorado, trust your spotter. Good job Jason.

[@mikef5716]

Omg! Dude that looks brutal on your Jeep. Talk about letting go of the scratch’s and having fun. You were definitely flexing man. Lol

[@AutoEdits]

It was good to learn!

[@patandjessicasjeepadventur3227]

Love your honesty I was freaking out just watching you crawl really enjoyed the video

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! Just trying to keep it real... just a regular dude learning how to do this!

[@michaelmclellan4618]

i just love that adrenaline rush when my jeep is in a questionable position, what can we say but its a jeep thing. also i love those doors, they look good and comfortable. cant wait to see more offroading and mods.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! I’m really liking them as well... even around town!

[@spencereyes235]

Holy moly! That was some epic crawling! I love how you push your Jeep to the limits

[@markmitchell1337]

I use to live in Cotopaxi,Co not far from Penrose. Independence trail or Indy as we call it is no joke. Great job!👍

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! I found it pretty intense but fun.

[@aguywithajeep]

Killer job with the crawling. Picker factor was definitely adequate. The Jeep preformed very well.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@3gencamaroguy]

Awesome, this was intense. Looked more difficult then the rubicon trail. Good work !

[@AutoEdits]

It definitely was but thankfully much shorter...LOL!

[@manfred5890]

Wow! Had me on the edge of my seat there. Glad everything went well man! Great footage and jeep looks awesome.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! Wait till you see what's next!

[@oraivan1]

Bro I was shizling my pants watching you that was awesome 👏 your Jeep is kick ass.

[@AutoEdits]

Ha! Thanks!

[@bubbie3533]

Awesome vlog Jason. I'm glad you went out to Colorado and had some serious fun with the Jeep. 🏞️👍

[@AutoEdits]

That's what it's for!

Jeep looks great Jason..lovin’ the Bestop doors!

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

That is so Awsome you went to Colorado springs.. My girlfriend and i went to the garden of the gods well one of our many stops while we was there.. We went in march from the 7th to the 11th and we had a blast.. Plan on going back...

[@AutoEdits]

I love it there! Have fun your next trip.

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

@@AutoEdits thank you... You as well if you go back... You need to do another video where you travel to the location for offroading.. Off-road the jeep then drive her home.. Love those off-road trip videos....

[@mikerichardson6252]

Jason, good video, of course I was cringing the whole time and at one point I thought you were going to put a rock through your passenger rear door. Good job man!

[@mkeeeemike123]

I agree with being a bit scared. I also cringe at the damage I can hear!! Ouch! Great video!

[@AutoEdits]

HA! Yes it takes some getting used to but I'm learning how to manage it.

[@arturus]

You sir need a show on Velocity. Great content as always!

[@AutoEdits]

HAHA! I agree!!! Thanks so much!

[@petermiddo]

Mate, Ive been four wheel driving down under since I was 7, 40 years this year. I still get that feeling when you just drive something. I hope that NEVER goes away. (mind you, Im not driving the stuff you're driving because im not gettingthe freebies like you are from your mates)

[@gargabe999999]

Great video Jason! I love your channel.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support!

[@moabwheeling]

Awesome video and I don't blame you , I would have been a little scared too !! Until next time take care .

[@eggdashure]

Nice work Jason! I thought you were on Billings Canyon here in my home town of Grand Junction for a minute. Gotta say, loved seeing Mount Garfield at the beginning and end of you clip! 👍

[@AutoEdits]

Great spot!

[@rcjeepers]

That was a GREAT video!! Great wheeling and looked like a ton of fun!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks for watching!

[@stoneyroberts9118]

Dang that was rad. That trail looked so hairy even on video but being there in person had to be a but clincher.. Man for real I thought the jeep was gonna roll at that drop off.. Glad she made it. Cheers

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much... means a ton to hear encouragement from friends like you here!

[@koryr1853]

Oh that was crazy. Looked like so much fun though.

[@AutoEdits]

That's a great way to put it... scary but fun!

[@garagers6667]

“Ope! Ope! That one was not tight...” 😂

[@Colorado4x4]

Yea!!! Awesome to see you on Indy. Damage report? Couple of buddies ran it on their JKUs and all had stock control arms turned into bananas after. Great video. Enjoyed it

[@AutoEdits]

WOW! I can imagine that... the Metalcloak suspension and skid plates did amazing and thank goodness for the overline fenders and rockers... basically all my armor did it's job and I'm thrilled with it! Drove it home 950 miles and have been driving it since!

[@Colorado4x4]

That’s awesome man. Very cool. Was that guy towing his crawler with a Tacoma and an aluminum trailer?

[@WillometMotorFab]

You've built a fine swiss-army knife of a jeep. Great episode.

[@jstover1]

I always enjoy your videos. What air pressure were you running? IMO It appeared to be too much for rock crawling, especially considering you got the new beadlocks

[@AutoEdits]

I was running 10 and think it's about right for these tires. With my Maxxis Razrs before this... I would be confident going down to 5 or 6 for sure.

[@chrisjones2252]

Wow, I rock crawl trails and that video made me cringe. Some amazing spotting as well. At least now you know the jeep and your capability at the extreme. Nice video.

[@offroadmedic]

Great video Jason, some definite pucker factors on that trail! It’s one thing to do that in an automatic, I can’t even fathom working the clutch on a trail like that.

[@AutoEdits]

HA! It's proving to be a bit tricky on the really technical stuff but for the rest of the time... I love it! Thanks so much for checking out the vid and leaving a comment!

[@jweir141]

Have you upgraded your differentials at all in order to handle the larger tires?

[@EdgarSanchez-nd3pq]

That was crazyyyy!!! Did anything break?lol 😂😂😂

[@AutoEdits]

The Jeep did great! Just a few new dings and scratches !

[@co4x4]

At 14.13 I was like holy sh*t!!! Its amazing a "car" can make that. Cheers from Denver CO!

[@AutoEdits]

Howdy and thanks!

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

Id say alittle less skinny pedal, let the jeep crawl with those 38s Milestars, with that metalcloak suspension/underarmor you could do ALOT more than what you ever thought, id say add some RCV axles and that jeep is solid, most of the time trails like that depend on what line you take but good job! Awesome video like always 💪

[@AutoEdits]

Great advice... but now you just cost me a bunch of money because I'm on the RCV site right now!!! LOL Thanks for real!

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

@@AutoEditsanytime! Ive been watching you for years now , i would talk to litebrite or call RCV personally, being a youtuber they'll usually hook you up with a deal! I think RCV's and a redneck ram (only $599 and one of the best) hydro assist would be final stages for your jeep. Definitely will help out turning those 38s on and offroad especially aired down, not to mention it will run much cooler on your power steering pump, and will also give you a smoother much controlled feeling at high speeds , definitely look into one !!

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

@@AutoEdits www.westtexasoffroad.com/take a look at this site, its hydro assist steering. This will make moving those 38s cake walk, and also make your power steering pump run cooler. Not to mention at hogh speeds it will be smooth as butter, also when aired down you'll be able to rotate the steering wheel with ease, (not to mention this is one of the best, and cheapest hydro assist out there) and again being a youtuber you might be able to get a kicker deal, same with the RCVS id talk to litebrite or call RCV directly, they would probably give you a killer deal, these two things and the jeep is perfect !

Jose, that is great advice. I was going to say the same. You said it much better than I could.

[@gilbertarsiaga5166]

Fun, fun video Jason! You said you were testing the new upgrades? I think they have earned a doctorate in rock crawling. Also, laughed so hard, about the 16:12 mark, at the high pitch "you sure?"

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! For a moment I thought to cut that stuff out so I would look cooler but then realized it’s who I am and honest to show how to rely on good spotters!

Jason, you and I are about the same whole off-road, kinda scared but you’ll do about anything the spotter tells you to do you lol. I love off-roading but its scary sometimes lol. Hey also I got some big upgrades for the Jeep maybe I’ll be running 38s like you. New teraflex 3.25”x.5” front tube, Ten factory off-road front and rear chromoly shafts, and 4.88 gears and new longer shocks for my rk suspension to stretch its legs and have properly valved shocks.
