Three Vintage Jeeps take on Carnage Canyon

[@sweet65mustang]

I was running Kane last year in Moab and someone in our group broke a cv. While we were fixing it, these guys came through. What a treat! I noticed 2 things. First, the way they bang their bumpers into rocks, instantly stopping, would cause my head to fall off. And the second thing, they don't appear to use spotters.

[@beestoe993]

I like the part of your story where a CV broke and the old Jeeps (with no CV's) came through. 😁

[@sweet65mustang]

@beestoe993 in heading back there in a week. I built custom cv joints for my little geo out of ford explorer v8 cv's. Those damn things are definitely the weak link.

[@beestoe993]

@@sweet65mustangHave fun and be safe. Good luck with the new upgrades!

[@craigdonalson4634]

i luv to watch these guys doing the same stuff i did 40 years ago in the same type of trails before the internet. now days i am in an F Toy buggy on 42's. back then i helped build a place in Johnson valley called the hammer trails in a M38 with the victor valley 4 wheelers (life member). in the 30 years i owned it i wheeled it in 40 states. i'm well aware of the talent it takes to run that trail. back in the day it took 12 hours to do .8 tenths of a mile on sledgehammer with no breakdowns

[@Grampas-jeep]

craig donalson Took us about 10 hours, but we drove out. Thanks for watching.

[@bobbendt1698]

That is one tough trail with purpose built rigs. And it's even cooler to see these 3 Jeeps do it.

[@donaldhalls2189]

That trail realy gave the rigs a work out, I recon even the buggies would be jealous, great video, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@Grampas-jeep]

Thanks Donald. Carnage Canyon is really kind of out of our league, but it was fun to see how we could do.

[@ThePhotofred]

Nice. I have been on that trail a few times and have seen many modified rigs that couldn't make the grade.

[@robertinscoe2379]

Neat video, nice to see Jeeps used as Jeeps. Stay safe guys.✌

[@blueridgebushcraft8294]

It’s so cool to see these flat fender jeeps just slowly crawl their way over everything

[@Heeman5]

Original gangsters of four-wheeling. 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏼

[@zoexj4872]

Hello sir, Just wanted to say how much we enjoy your videos. And all your friends, too! Enjoy the trails and be safe! Regards, Randy.

[@Grampas-jeep]

Hey Randy. Thanks for your kind words.

[@zoexj4872]

We noticed you removed your windshield. Saw another video where you hit it pretty good. Also, did Bam Bam install lockers? I thought it was open diffs?

[@Grampas-jeep]

Zoe XJ Pulled the windshield for this trail. I knew I would be banging up against some rocks and that front corner hangs out there and grabs stuff. Bam Bam has always had some sort of lockers. Jeff doesn’t always engage them. He likes to see what he can do open sometimes,

[@chadpearce7555]

Great Video, love this Thanks for sharing the Ol' Jeeps!!

[@Grampas-jeep]

Thanks for checking in.

All this with a go devil 4 cylinder new jeeps world turn and run home its good exercise That they are needing and not collecting dust sitting and I enjoy hearing them work Great video thanks for posting 👍

love it! The original rock crawlers!!

I am a fervent follower of the adventures of Bam Bam, Grandpa and the rest of flat fenders. With this, I have suffered (clink, clonk) and enjoyed equally. Winch rules! Regards from Basque Country

Nothing can compare jeeps when it comes to raw vehicle.👍

[@carter480]

That was a beat down.. but those jeeps just take it.. very nice...

[@guylongley1573]

That was awesome! Would like to do it in my samurai some day. 👍

[@357Dejavu]

This makes me happy! Love the video and that is beautiful country!

[@chrislewis5150]

Interesting to see a 3b with a M38 hood…. AWESOME to see 3 true rock rods!

[@Grampas-jeep]

Thanks for your kind words. That jeep is Bob Westerman's X98. A clone of a very rare early experimental model.

[@chrislewis5150]

@@Grampas-jeep I’ve had several Willys and MBs over the years including a hand built 43 I should have kept. I just lucked into an all original 48 that I’m now the 4th owner of. I must say your videos are inspiring!

Great videos Stan Fuller :) keep it up.

[@Tastewithnewdrinks]

Great Off road.

[@beestoe993]

That's a nasty looking trail. I'm guessing whatever Bam-bam was leaking at 15:15 wasn't anything too important?

[@benaldridge3500]

New York plates on one of them?

[@brennanmetcalf]

That looks amazing!

and there's Grandpa. proving what can be done, shall be done

Your jeeps took a beating, Holy cow.

Heavy test for the jeeps !!

[@nealesmith1873]

So fun to watch!

that's a real cool road for the Willy's jeep

They just beet the absolute crap outa these things and they just keep goin ...amazing i tell ya

[@joshreed7102]

Holy crap!!

[@lewy1]

Did Bam Bam have bud ultra low TC on this run?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

It seems sad to beat up these antiques? Are there parts, sheet metal, ball joints still being manufactured?

[@juanmauricioneira7864]

please Bam Bam what motor have ? It sounds great !!

[@Grampas-jeep]

Bam Bam is powered by a 4.3 Chevy motor. Here’s an article from a few years ago that talks about Bam Bam. www.fourwheeler.com/features/1606-mighty-1943-wwii-military-jeep/

[@juanmauricioneira7864]

@@Grampas-jeep Thanks a lot !

[@davefontes8532]

Pretty cool. They all seem to have lockers front and rear. Is the first guy even in low range? He seems to be going soooo much faster. My 41' went slower than that with 4.88's. Also the stock steering boxes are the first thing to fail. Looks like one has been changed to power steering, that's the way to go.

[@kentwalley1207]

OK gotta know welded spider gears or diff locks

[@Grampas-jeep]

Lockers in all the axles on these three rigs.

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Is there any advantage to those tires?

[@sandipbasu6749]

Most amazing....

I want a bone stock FLATFENDER I sold mine years ago a 56 all stock MISS THAT POS after seeing this

Not quite bone stock. Thanks for watching. Here’s what I’ve changed kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4e4ZWxrjdKfaqs

[@lewy1]

How long did it take you to run the whole thing?

[@Grampas-jeep]

I don't remember the exact time, but we started around 10 am and got out just as it was getting dark in late September.

[@lewy1]

@@Grampas-jeep Thanks hoping to run it next year.

[@Grampas-jeep]

@lewy1 If you have a more purpose built rig than our little flat fenders, you should make a shorter day of it than us. The 2 main obstacles were 100% winching for us, and my jeep has no winch, and it wasn't running right on slopes. My friends had to drag me dead through those things.

[@lewy1]

Just ran what an amazing trail. My respect level just greatly increased knowing you guys ran that trail.

[@Anderzander]

Great video - as always ! Question - what’s your thought on damage? You are obviously pretty comfortable with it - though you clearly don’t go looking for it. Interested to hear your take on it?

[@Grampas-jeep]

Well, one can stick to the bunny trails or shopping malls and maybe avoid damage, or one can challenge themself and their machine by taking on the hard stuff. You don’t go on a trail like Carnage Canyon thinking you’re going to come out without at least some body damage. Just about everything is fixable so I say go for it. It’s just metal and paint.

[@Anderzander]

Stan Fuller Thanks for the reply. We don’t have trails like that here in England .. but I remember you saying you liked difficult trails and scenic ones too - we have scenic ones here. They aren’t straight forward, but you can drive them without damage if you’re not an idiot or unlucky.

[@Grampas-jeep]

Hah, I think ones level of luck is often directly related to ones level of idiocy. Not always, but very often. Thanks for watching.

[@Kylejeepadventures]

Stan, how much PSI is in your tires/ air down too while on rocks.?

[@Grampas-jeep]

9 PSI off road

[@JB-rt4mx]

Excellent..🛻

I am not sure even a Jimny could attempt that and they have the ground clearance that most big stuff does not,

[@6363cash]

What’s up w the poser flat fender. Not a good disguise.

[@Grampas-jeep]

6363cash It actually fooled you. That is a replica of the X98, the first Jeep equipped with the F134 Hurricane engine. It a tribute to an unusual and rare flat fender. Here’s an article about the Jeep and the X98 it was built to resemble. cj3b.info/X98.html
