Nebraska Sand Hills & Water Crossing! Part 1 - 2014 Ultimate Adventure Week

Purchase the official action-packed UA 2014 DVD at: www.offroadpowerproducts.com/c...
The Ultimate Adventure technically starts with check-in and tech inspection, but in reality the trip starts for all a few days earlier as vehicle preparation drags on through late nights and into planned departure times. The true adventure begins when tires hit asphalt spinning. Once the group checks in and addresses any last-minute repairs or tech inspection issues they load up and follow leader Rick Péwé trekking to the Nebraska Sand Hills where they await steep climbs, narrow gullies, and plenty of trees before reaching a 3-foot water crossing at Dismal River. Fred Williams, editor of Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road and host of Dirt Every Day, tags along with his custom made 1990 Dodge Tug Truck prepped to tow out any stragglers.

[@LUNITICWILL]

the narator's voice brings back VHS monster truck tape memories. thank you motor trend for this

[@KLAYCO47]

I wait all year for this!!!

[@Maxximtl]

Wouldn't it have been nice to see the completion of the Tug Truck prior to it being debuted here? It kinda spoils the surprise.

[@joeracer302]

If you want to see the whole build, buy the magazine! hehe :p ... ya, I got excited after the previous video where they started the build and they showed those teaser clips of it mid way through. I agree this definitely feels like a spoiler lol

[@joeracer302]

Should just let Fred or Freiburger narrate this. Plus fire the producers who decided to turn this into an infomercial.

[@BillyJoe1305]

How do you want them to pay for it? Would you propose a subscription fee?

[@joeracer302]

BillyJoe1305 It's funny how so many people say this, but there are plenty of examples of projects that are done solely for the purpose of gaining greater name recognition and are considered media opportunities in and of themselves without the need for making things feel like an infomercial. It's not uncommon for these to be considered a write-off from a financing standpoint, and the return is seen from more of a social word-of-mouth currency that isn't as tangible as advertisement fees but in some ways can be considered just as valuable. Do you think companies that finance race teams are expecting to receive some type of immediate financial return? Nope, it's just about getting their name out there. 4Wheel&Off Road could consider making this video the same, as most of their previous videos have been, but apparently they have some new business executives who don't want that done. Not to mention the numerous Motortrend video series that don't even review products, such as Epic Drives, so there are a LOT of ways to approach this. A great philosophy is simply to make something that you would want to watch, and I am sure that most people would agree that they don't want to watch something that feels like an infomercial. Talking about subscription fees is kind of ridiculous considering that they haven't done that in the past, and most people wouldn't be willing to begin paying now. Doing that would just alienate a large portion of their fan base. I already pay one for their magazine, and MotorTrend, if they aren't happy about that and want $ for these videos I'd rather they don't make videos than make shitty ones that give them a bad name.

[@BillyJoe1305]

joeracer302 1: Are you really going to decry commercial sponsors and talk about race teams in the same sentence? 2: These videos aren't terrible you just actually listened to the other people on the internet telling you how terrible commercials are. It really isn't close to an infomercial. 3: The Magazines are stuffed full of adds and often contain articles that read like them. 4: Using the videos as one offs to increase popularity requires that the videos all be one offs. The long running channel with a long running series needs to produce some measurable profit. Add campaigns rarely make that cut. 5: Even if they did wish to continue using it as an add the budget would need a serious cut. 6: The subscription model was mentioned as there is another popular KZbin car channel that recently went this route.

[@joeracer302]

BillyJoe1305 Yea, but I'm just saying they have done a much better job in the past. There really isn't a problem with me having that opinion and voicing it is there? Plus, the other YT channel you talk about, I'd be real interested to see their subscription numbers, because if you visit forums/comments essentially most people have nothing positive to say any longer since they got bought out so I doubt they are attracting many people to their subscriptions now. It would suck to see that happen here too ...

[@joeracer302]

BillyJoe1305 PS thanks for the civil discussion and not the normal YT nonsense :)

[@jaredpankonin6858]

This really hits home. I spend my summer riding quads in those hills!

[@Gadne92.5]

We want more Fred !!

[@michaelharrington7598]

Order the DVD, there's a whole section of Fred Williams and Ultimate Tug Truck, and other additional footage.

[@EvilDeadFan11]

I really enjoyed this video. I'm very happy that Motor Trend has shared this lengthy piece on youtube for free for the average subscriber, and left it as an option to buy the dvd as a hard copy or online. Very cool guys. Very nice rigs!

[@chriswallace3442]

Nice rigs, nice to see full size rigs getting trail rash! I like seeing a variety of different makes and models in action.

[@ricomichel]

Basically Drag Week in a 4x4. Great idea

[@hihellohahaha2029]

I just cant stop watching these

[@liamclarkin3510]

Thanks very much for making all this fantastic content available for free. you guys are great

[@Boredout454]

Its great to see so many Mopars. The new Mopars from the trucks to the cars (specifically the Charger/Challenger HellCat) have really put the spotlight back on Mopar for the first time in decades and for the first time in my life time Mopar appears to have a bright future and tearing it up with lots of power.

[@trefod]

Suggestion: Next time around, among all the other participant, send a single invitation to the armed forces or some rescue service or even a school with a mechanics programme. It would add an interesting element I think.

[@joeracer302]

It would be awesome to see some modified off road rescue vehicles, or something along those lines. Maybe even build the vehicle next year with a group like you suggest, that would make for good television :) ... lots of good mechanics in the Army!

[@bustedcrawler]

There were a few veterans on the trip. Both retired and active duty. Hell we even had a reunion for 2 guys that served together and lost touch...randomly they both ended up on the trip as codrivers.

[@ahmedsary84]

Matt Bokan ع

[@turdmuffin6757]

Is that Marijuana lol its through out the whole video hahahah

[@joeracer302]

Ditch weed, grows naturally. Yes, still cannabis strain though :) ... will not get you high though. Similar to hemp or some such that is low in THC.

[@bcviking9381]

Leftovers from the pre WW2 hemp industry ,its not legal to farm anymore even though it does not get you high and it grows everywhere like a weed now.

[@joeracer302]

***** Lol, I guess, it just grows all over the place where I grew up too

[@codyweaver427]

I'm from the Sandhills marijuana grows like weeds up there because the dove eat the seeds and excrete it out. Some of our pastures gets 8ft+ tall plants, it's really bad in all tree stands.

[@ballsj4568]

gotta love all that fine greenery. I bet there's some 10 ft plants just out of camera view

[@jameslandon4126]

It pisses me off how they cherry pick the trucks they want on the video. They keep showing the same damn five trucks over an over again yet there are 23 of them. Show some of that badass '78 Bronco and the Scout II and enough already with the same damn Jeeps and Chevys.

[@samschrader6150]

Awesome!!!!!! Love Ultimate Adventure. Hope they do it next year and years to come.

[@anajay78]

That red dodge with the diesel is bad ass!

[@kormakurjonsson4191]

FOR COUPLE OF MONTHS?!?!? IN THE BUILD VIDEO IT SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD 9 DAYS!

[@musguelha14]

That's just the opening scene. Then he says they have to build it in "a matter of months".

[@airsoftsnipes100]

the video was filmed a while ago but it was just released

[@bhubb18]

Is that weed growing around 11:30 in? haha.

[@rhysjakeman]

Haha definitely!

[@aa65064]

Nothing special. Agricultural hemp can be seen all over my place. But you probabl wont get high from it. I Think they make some kind of cloth and ropes out of this.

[@joshwhite4280]

also on 9:44 theres plants :D

[@TheZuumer]

it's Ditch weed as they call it, it grows all over the place from old cash crops in the late 1800s and yes it is a weed

[@TheZuumer]

was on the trip, Ditch weed AKA Cannabis was all over the place

[@treybaker7599]

Love you guys

[@IsadoreWoW]

[@coreycvetovac8044]

[@tin_man_t]

[@redneck7926]

[@edwardlubin7148]

This is an adventure that is catered. No F=:O :-} g way!

[@ChurchieShed]

This is great! Love this 4x4 Shi*!

[@Boredout454]

Man I love that Nitto Dodge Army truck, in fact I love most of those Army trucks. Ive always been more into drag racing and road racing but being from Texas mudding and off roading is fun but I dont like the slow speeds of rock crawling.

[@comander402]

HOLA GENIAL.!

[@fast402riderz3]

I live in Nebraska that sucks I didn't get to see them ):

[@schwanzmunster2503]

Fast402Riderz I lived in North Platte at the time. Was going to school and worked at Advanced Auto Parts. I got to sell some guys parts and check out their rigs. They are even more insane in person

[@makemespin]

Microsoft Sam, is that you?

[@ku420guy]

its crazy there is hemp every where there

[@jacksonsweat3396]

the '90 dodge or (tuc truck) looks the best in my opinion.

[@81Kush]

[@margaretdietrich2667]

this is awe some

[@James-zi9wb]

Weed plants getting crushed at 9:55 lol

When do you guys stop in Illinois? You guys should stop somewhere and let all the fans come.

[@thebiggreedybastard5462]

10:00 did you guys see the weed plants down the tight coulee

[@thedude7726]

at 9:49 they are driving over weed plants lmao

[@MrKitchenz]

What's with Fred's steering wheel? It's cool and all it matches the theme but still seems a bit counter productive

[@redneck7926]

YEAH NORTH PLATTE

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

When do you think Ram will offer a short bed as long as the one on the Power Wagon?

[@Daehawk]

I like the look of that Powerwagon if it had some kind of angled back body on it.

[@Wavetrains]

11:27 was anyone aware of the cannabis growing everywhere, or was that just me?

[@smackface6]

is that the same 37 dodge ive seen before on dirt every day????

[@MoonshineTheColf]

[@johnnyburret1286]

[@freedomnutz]

[@gabbyvillocillo8117]
