Toyota Land Cruiser Struggles up Hells Gate! - Overland Adventure

Alone, I make my way to Grand Junction, Colorado and then to Moab, Utah for some desert rock crawling in the Sand Flats Recreation Area right on the outskirts of town.
Sand Flats Rec area is home to Fins and Things as well as Hells Revenge trail and both of these are on my hit list!.
With no spotter I attempt the Hells Gate obstacle alone and that ends up being a poor decision as my 80 Series Land Cruiser took a bit of damage getting up and out but I didn't have to call ‪@trailmater‬ so I guess it was a success! #moab2023
Thanks for watching!

This is why I love my 80 series they will go anywhere there just slow and thirsty. I just got back from doing 2,000kms in 2 weeks in a 34 year old 80 series around 750kms on soft sand and sand dunes and about 600kms in low range on tough tracks towing a soft floor off-road camp trailer. Liked and subbed from Australia one day I will get to Moab after I've travelled this wonderful big place I live my 80 has done 4 big laps around Australia since I've owned it for 12 years and a few more from the other 2 owners.

[@winchoutdoors]

And likewise, one day I'd love to come explore Australia. Cheers mate and thanks for the sub!

[@jgcruisers]

Awesome ! kind of scary feeling being in the middle

[@Dan-yc6vi]

Looks like a cool spot and love the 80 series 💪

[@kristenkrotec8989]

The Moab baby really loves her 2T shirts! ❤🎉

[@EightyFiveHundred]

Love the drone footage! That said, it really doesn’t show the narrowness and sheer drops! Love my 80 as well! Going on 18 years and 248,000 miles of wheeling/living in CO and now the Sierra.

[@winchoutdoors]

You are 100% correct. As great as the aerial footage is. It doesn't show the terrain and ground level perspective. Need a camera operator.

[@gyels2011]

loved watching your video.

[@winchoutdoors]

Thank you so much!

[@MancinoChannel]

You just made me re-live the last two Falls in Moab. Thank you! I can't wait for this Fall!

[@winchoutdoors]

Wonderful! Love that. Have fun on your trip!

[@weldonesc6217]

Dude, the drone shot of that campfire in that canyon was fire. Like I know it was fire but the shot was fire too. Lotta fire!!

[@winchoutdoors]

They call that En Fuego!

[@ArcticBlues1]

Thank you! I should have went with you!

[@bosteele6000]

Its day I dono what day😅😂

[@4wheelboogie451]

My dude drove up Hell's Revenge without even airing down the tires!

[@winchoutdoors]

They were aired down to about 18psi. Could have gone a bit lower I guess. ;)

[@4wheelboogie451]

@@winchoutdoors I thought you were still at 30!

[@lastresort576]

Great vid. Especially liked the underneath footage going up hells gate. But question, was there some footage mix up? when you came up on the group of jeeps was that Kenny’s hill climb on fins n things?the climb was to the left and everyone went right around the bend.

[@Ghostrider-71]

The drone footage was cool.

[@mattmackrell2323]

Holy cow man! I can’t believe you went up hells gate without a spotter! That was some fine driving. How much lift and what size tires are you running?

[@winchoutdoors]

@mattmackrell2323 It was intense! Land Cruiser is running Old Man Emu lift (2-3") on Yokohama 315/75r16 (~35")

[@NigelNaughton]

Is that an exped sleep cushion? If so, how do you like it?

[@winchoutdoors]

@NigelNaughton Yes! Love our Exped megamats. I need to do a review video. I have tried a few different pads and the Exped has definitely been the best solution.

This video is like NeatureWalk but with a truck … I can’t tell if it’s a joke or not. It’s so bad, it’s gotta be a sly joke video.
