Overland Expo East 2021 and the Potts Mountain Jeep Trail

[@roamingwithjosh]

Awesome stuff! Watching my shock break makes me cringe on the inside!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

I'm sure it does. Glad you found out what caused it.

[@DownSouth_Adventures]

It was like watching a leg break!

[@bennie873]

Wow. That was a big rock party!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes it was!

[@jessponce3314]

This was very nice, you guys got a little crazy, great video. keep having fun.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks!

[@DownSouth_Adventures]

Another great video guys! Thank you so much for letting us tag along! Btw I remember someone giving you a warning about how treacherous I heard Potts Mountain could be lol I’m glad y’all got out with only minor damage. We absolutely can’t wait for our next adventure with Coddiwomple Overland!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks! Glad you all came along, can't wait for the next.

[@HuffmanIsBoss]

Looks like a cool group! The video really reinforces how good a Jeep TJ is. For half the cost of the accessories on that Gladiator, you buy a rig a TJ that would dust through that trail.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks, true. But a TJ is a little small for overlanding.

[@RSG67]

Great video. I have the Noco 150 and don’t leave home without it. Worth every penny.!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes it is.

[@The-MotivatedMillenial]

Thanks for letting Matt and myself join you guys. We will be back to finish pots Mountain.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You all are welcome anytime

No discrimination here!🤣

Ha! I've carried booster packs for years now! Better to have it and not need it as the saying goes! But great to help others in need! Thanks for sharing another great adventure!

Thanks for watching!

33:21 I usually hook my front driver's tire to the driver's side of the big rock in front of you until the front tire is past it, then cut hard passenger. Has to be one fluid motion though. That obstacle is really the only one on the trail with no bypass. There's a nice open area past there at the top of the mountain to camp and an overlook nearby.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for the info! We are definitely going back

[@deboriahrymer5634]

Just wanted to let you know guys I like your chose of sound scape it is unusual not the same old stuff

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you!

[@Mikemkke034]

Love the video, and had a great time camping with y'all that night! Keep up the amazing work

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks Michael!

[@tysonvance]

Owner of the Green Grand Cherokee here.... that was a fun trail! We had 2 rubicons in our group with fully functional lockers and 37s and we all had to winch from that same obstacle. There was a great camping spot at the top :) I love your JK and your videos!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching. Definitely a great trail. We I'll be going back.

[@Robs_Model_T_and_The_Money_Pit]

I live close to the trail , will hit it when I go to the abandoned town on lignite .

Another great video. I am headed to Kentucky in November looking forward to wheeling in your back yard. Thanks for your efforts and sharing.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you for watching.

[@WanderWithUs2020]

Great video guys! I was searching our footage to see if we caught any sign of Josh's shock breaking. At least that question is answered now. It's always an adventure on the trail. Can't wait for our next one with friends!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for the compliment, can't wait for the next.

[@Wklambert]

Man, that looks like a TON of fun. Can't wait to get some wheels and tires on my truck!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We had a great time!

[@SouthernComfortOutdoors]

Hahah was like “ I thought he had a front locker” just before you said it wasn’t working.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yea it's on the short list for repair!

[@philgriswold2133]

It looks like another great adventure and a good chance to meet like-minded people.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It certainly was!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We did, Thanks for watching.

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

Nice to see some rock action. Good job. I love overlanding, adding footage like this adds to the excitement. I thought JK's had brake lock differential action? I didn't notice your front even attempting to BDS when you were spinning tires.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching. We have an e locker in the front that was having some electrical issues.

[@krashnpa]

Love Virginia mountains, such awesome country and this video captures the true spirit of camping, off-roading, and the great folks you meet! Did anybody figure out what happened to the shock that the eye cracked?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes, it had something to do with misalignment with the shock and the Metalcloak relocation bracket. Thanks for watching!

[@krashnpa]

@@CoddiwompleOverland Roger that, thanks for the info. Have you guys considered doing some Patreon support or something like that? Not that you want this to be a job or anything, just wondering. I'd support the channel.

[@patriotsedge6730]

We hit Moab so we missed the Expos this fall unfortunately. The Moore Expo in Missouri back in February was fantastic but it was COLD! We have family with lots of land in that area so camping was pretty simple for us. :) Another great video. Thanks ya'all.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching! Moore has changed dates to April 8-10 for 2022. We will be there!

Potts is one of our local trails. How’d ya like it? Hats off for attempting it while it was wet and muddy.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We loved it! We will definitely be back soon to finish it.

I’ll say y’all missed a great obstacle after this one but overall play it smart with the stock rigs my Jeep XJ on 33s with no lockers did it all very fun trail

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Great job with your XJ. We plan on going back for sure

[@erikschutzman2402]

Very cool, thank you for sharing. I am really curious how that shock failed on the gladiator, do you have more information? thank you I would suggest looking into adding a set of traction boards to your kit. Traction boards have been very advantageous for me. You guys already have a lot of gear though, so it might not be worth the extra weight and space, and you already have a winch. I think traction boards really shine when used with stock vehicles, but they could still be beneficial with your jeep. thanks

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching! According to Falcon, the shock failure was caused by a shock relocation bracket that was part of the Metalcloak lift. The other shock was cracked in the same location. Falcon repaired them for only cost of shipping.

[@erikschutzman2402]

@@CoddiwompleOverland Awesome, thanks for the information. I worked for a shock company, and I do some of my own suspension fabrication, so I am always curious to learn about failures.

What was this trail rated?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

I’m not sure. Since this episode, it was taken off of the badge of honor list

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Your Videos have a double Ad break every 5 minutes. It makes a long video like this very hard to watch. You can turn off the "Skippable" and "Non-Skippable" ads to make it a bit more appealing.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks, will take that into consideration.
