[@BillyTpower]

9:53 kid in the middle is like "dude don't stab me in the face"

[@pra3t0rian]

Trail etiquette is huge. So many people in SoCal are oblivious to it.

[@MrF4tty]

One of my favorite videos. Film/Upload more rides and adventures like this.

[@cesandvik]

Great job on the video! Great trip, thanks for putting it together. Even better to finally meet you, Ryder and all who joined. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to meet up.

[@jacobellis8135]

that's awesome man! love to see a video of you actually gettin out and gettin dirty! would love to see you do a drawing to come out and do an adventure with you!

[@jacobellis8135]

Merricks Garage man I wish I could. it's a bit of a drive from Oklahoma!

[@elijahcbr6009]

right on man, after all that hard work you finally made it!! drinkin coffee at 10pm workin on this 14ff. all i need is a dana 60 and its on like kong. thanks for the vid.

[@elijahcbr6009]

14 is just about to go in and get welded up.had to whip up a stand etc.so its taking a little longer.Ordered my 1/4" weld on beadlocks with anti coning rings. Looking for rims and tires. This weekend. Finding a dana 60 i can afford is the hard part. But this blazer has been on the miller a 100 times with the dana 44 up front. So the dana 60 isnt totally needed to go.im going to say a month tops and she'll be ready.

[@elijahcbr6009]

lol thats awsome. coyote lake trail with the kids is my long term goal. its such a sick trail.

[@elijahcbr6009]

Think so, up bye shaver lake?

[@heathgallon3957]

I am building my 69 k5 ( the rear seats thanks to your blueprints which worked perfectly) I'm thinking about road tripping out that way again . maybe we can hook up and go wheelin ! rad videos man

[@courseydl]

[@RyanBoyce57]

[@courseydl]

Where is that?

[@RyanBoyce57]

[@courseydl]

Well I'm not heading to Cali any time soon LOL

[@JowdeeJoe]

Ryan Boyce I'm in Cali let's go

[@scottbrougher4615]

Locker before light bars... I love it lol.

[@danielmclendon1879]

Love seeing the rig in action!

[@black84z28camaro]

That wasn't an overlander. Just some guy in his truck

[@SmittDirt47]

Saw you pulling the trailer in SB today on the 101 South. Unfortunately I was north bound!

[@MerricksGarage]

Headed back from Pismo.

[@SmittDirt47]

One of these days I'll try to link up with you for some local trails!!

[@josemiguelgl]

Awesome video! Loved the trail

[@rockincrawlk5706]

Love to always see the k5s on the trail. Hell yaaa

[@guidoinvernizzi1795]

good video!

[@tripudos]

I thought you did not know the day and time..I was waiting on the invitation.i guess I'll pay more attention next time

[@tripudos]

Merricks Garage I live in Lancaster which is about a hour from Gorman and yes I follow you on nstagram I guess did not see it

[@DownthunderAu]

Nicely done :)

[@jamesguralski5156]

Should have just rolled there stuff upside-down down the side of the trail..

[@mickeykreg]

lovin the squares. good shit!

[@stoneshrink]

To me half the fun is recovering the unprepared. I remember that was me, once. Sure you didn't get the trail run, but I never thought it was ever about the destination. To make it personal, how did you get your rig back on its wheels after you rolled it? my2cents.

[@BenDover-zz8xm]

That trail is not even a challenge it's a Sunday drive with lockers

[@calebmiller6825]

So Merricks Garage, do you like muscle cars, and if so what's your favorite, and what are your thought on the new Dodge Demon

[@calebmiller6825]

Ps im the same Caleb Miller that said love this show

[@pra3t0rian]

Also a people have more dollars than cents.

[@JowdeeJoe]

lemme know when you go again, I'm in pismo beach ca and wanna try my truck out in something like that

[@jenningspaige]

We want to do this trail in our Jeep but we're beginners (kinda?) and I'm scared of getting stuck. Can we go with you guys next time you go? You gotta try again without that lame 4 runner club. Family jeep trip!

[@MerricksGarage]

+Jennings Paige of course, but it would be a squarebody trip with some jeeps allowed ;)

[@davidmcdougall6173]

You shouldn't start the video with "we have rolled"😂

[@sixtochino]

Damn overlanders lol. He must not have good friends 👍🏽

[@tonycantrell9547]

so was it miller time?

[@wtdyjimjam]

i bet "that guy" is thinking why did i get a 2wd truck lol.

[@jamesguralski5156]

Why by a truck if doesn't have 4x4?!

[@ParkR84]

Ojai Ventura....Merrick can you climb up to Chief's Peak and do a video from there. I hike up there every five years. Thx and love the channel!

[@Marz-px6vx]

You guys didn't hafta stop you all could of took the way you did the lil spot off to the right of that taco was a spot to pass.

[@misterpolytech]

Tacoma 2WD blocking the trail??? But you live in CA, where there are even traffic jams on off road trails! Well, that's the way she goes, Boy's!

[@snawsome100]

Man ive had the same problem before it sucks day gets wasted, when people go out they should always have recovery gear and plenty of food and water you might be there a while accidents happen whenever

[@snawsome100]

Gotcha well hopfully they can learn from there mistakes

[@1FiftyOverland]

Lets change the name to miller off-road trail!

[@colematthess9727]

this just makes toyotas look bad. Were not all like this haha!

[@MerricksGarage]

no, not at all. Overlanders on the other hand lol

[@k5hoss]

I've had same issues on that trail with folks holding up the trail with vehicles not suitable for the Miller trail. Super frustrating.

[@milfs310]

Why get frustrated? Have some damn fun help each other out on the trail. Geeez.

[@MerricksGarage]

When people come completely unprepared. 2wd ? It can ruin the day for everyone.

[@Bignaz_overland]

Your friends should told you the first time NO do NOT bring that 2wd. I mean come on dude....

[@eddiepeardon9841]

dude coil spring swap it

[@osielalvarado1921]

man *%&^ that tacoma!

[@mookydesai]

Sounds like there was an issue with a 2WD vehicle that shouldnt be there. Overlanders generally dont outfit 2WD vehicles. Just sayin'. Haters gon' hate though. Hate "the rookie" if you really need to hate that bad. Or his friends that didnt talk him out of it. Nice K5 out on that Jeep trail though.

[@ParkR84]

That's the problem is that "Overlanders" are not driving the appropriate vehicle for off-road travel. Embarrassing and dangerous, it does matter what you drive!
