Ultimate Adventure 2019 Episode 1, Off Roading to Knik Glacier in Alaska

[@ntsms69]

Great opening footage. "Were heading to a glacier", and there's a jeep with no roof or doors, and another with a cracked windshield. You know you're in for a good video. Optimised by the comment "I wouldn't stick my finger in there", which was relevant, justified and the quote of the day!

[@rexx3617]

Sweet Cummins, this event looks like a blast. Breaking out all the toys to get through.

[@rideforrestride]

Looks like fun! I don't get all the GRUMPY people upset about this AWESOME FREE CONTENT... You peeps don't have to watch!?! I say well done! Thanks!

[@kingarthur9157]

I love his honesty..we need more honest people 2:30 "I Cannot tell you how many vehicles have either been lost or stranded out here, just this year"... Somebody send this guy the memo!

[@N8iVEaf]

Finally a good show ta watch must see TV. ✌🏾

[@SamIam420]

Awesome to see some older Ford's and internationals in the mix this year!

[@Nafleming3603]

That local dude in the 97 TJ is great. Just so laid back 😄

[@rianbeaird2422]

Wow you guys are releasing longer episodes, I applaud it! Thank you

[@Secretcircuits]

Rian Beaird they’ll probably put the rest behind a paywall, just put out previews for the rest

[@SupercarsinGreece]

Wrangler is an all time classic! Love it so much so many years!

[@671homey]

Wranglers are just the Dodge version of a CJ, which is a civilian version of a real Jeep.

[@twinx70]

I like all the super built rigs, then here come some locals in an old scottsdale and a 4-wheeler lol

[@JeepCherokeeful]

That’s usually the way it goes, overseas “overlanders” share the roads with stock Toyota Corollas.

[@susanhalvorson990]

My family has been going to Knik for over 20myears. Off roading there is no big deal. Go to Eureka down the backside of Monument and on to Horse Pasture Pass. That is off roading in Alaska.

[@HarrySituations]

Susan Halvorson this was just the first day. We went to Eureka the next day.

[@joshuafarmer5438]

The bridges across the flats have been there longer then the 90s

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!!!! Thank you so much!!! You made my day!!!

[@CaptainNero]

Looks incredible that is definitely on my bucket list

[@daledubose3032]

Awesome. Thank you for putting it on the Tube.

[@andrewseal551]

I was actually able too see many of these rigs as they passed through my hometown of Whitehorse. Very cool to see these trucks and wave to the drivers as they passed by. Sadly I couldn't stop since I was working...

[@mastercreamer1398]

I’ll make scrambled eggs for everyone then I’ll pipe all the woman

[@stefanobenland5304]

Amazing video. Even better scenery.

[@dysphunktion]

I love it! There is always, always that one hill, mud hole or rock that the first guy who tries it, fails...and everyone else has to try it. It's always great when the hole of infinite suck wins tho! This is great content!

[@kalanirobb54]

Love those cornbinders!

[@BarnStangz]

The diesel Jeeps are pretty slick, would like to know more about those babies!

[@dozer1642]

It’s a Jeep. With a diesel in it.

[@BarnStangz]

@Noneya Business It's too bad you can't get the diesel in a two door. That's what I would want!

[@ricardoterleira]

Cant really understand what tha orange JK was trying when building a "two way" JK... lolol Made me laugh a bit. Great trip and location !! We have doing some with this spirit and its the best!! fun fun fun

[@danstarkey698]

@the itty bitty boos by

[@jeremybaird509]

This was an old build that the magazine did a few years back.

[@cjbales1981]

Thank you so very much for putting this full series on here!! Finally a reward for not unsubbing when d.e.d. and roadkill left 😂

[@oddballdynamics.9658]

I could watch this all day. Beautiful area. I love this type of off-roading.

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Love that ol Ford

[@HarrySituations]

Thanks!

[@ballard12]

What happened to introducing all the drivers and rigs? This video was very disappointing for being the 20th anniversary. Hopefully the next 6 days are a lot better and get back to the original video quality you guys have always had.

[@Trustyconsultinggroup]

Agree

[@brookwoodmotoco5537]

Because we have to pay for the good one on MT demand 👎🏻 😞

[@ballard12]

I do pay for motortrend on demand. There is nothing on there at all for UA2019

[@ballard12]

Brookwood Moto Co and they have a special going right now for $12 for a year. Which is well worth it.

[@jwoodsrt]

I don't understand why they put it on KZbin first instead of their pay to watch service. The previous UA videos on MTOD are no different from the KZbin videos

[@johnganshow5536]

Lived in Alaska 37 years, all my wilderness off roading was while Moose/Caribou hunting...

[@JRWperformance]

Going out to play at Jim's creek is even more fun in the winter.

[@Winchparts]

Only time to go.

[@markprice1614]

Agreed! Busting thru the overflow ice is terrifying. I miss Alaska sometimes.

[@jamesless5394]

To everyone, and people from Alaska! DO NOT go to Jim's creek.

[@AKproXR]

Saw some of the guys at autozone in wasilla this summer. Also seen them driving in the highways a few times. Pretty cool to see the rigs in person up here.

[@xotic8617]

In Australia we call this a typical camping trip

[@jamesless5394]

Not the same.

[@IronDogger]

Alaska is a playground for extreme outdoors enthusiasts!

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

Really happy to see that they have embraced the future with LED headlights

[@ZumbalacazanCuatroxCuatro]

Top 💯💯💯🔝🔝🔝🔝

[@matthewwittekoek4134]

Great idea!

[@abhinandansingh966]

it was my moooost favourite show😭😭😭😭

[@kyleybarra1830]

@ 6:42 who came along with the proper jack to get that big wheel off the ground to change??

[@671homey]

Proper jack? You must be kidding. Why would anyone bring a floor jack out trail riding? Bottle jack would have been way better, more versatile, and take up less space.

[@StonkeyDomp]

That's the jack you brought on Ultimate Adventure.....!?!

[@671homey]

No kidding! Who brings a floor jack ?

[@Jman11129]

Man that is awesome I would love to take my Chevy trailboss on a trail like that after my BDS lift kit but In all honesty I would feel a lot more comfortable taking a jeep on a trail like that. It’s lighter, shorter wheel base, better approach and departure angles, and more clearance. Trails like that just prove why they are better off road rigs.

[@GeoTrashPanda]

LoL the trail really is on my a half mile long and the rest is glacier beds! LoL "lost trucks" out in out in knik are almost all abandoned cars/trucks. They are showing the 4wheeler trails isn't much. LoL

[@HarrySituations]

A-SALT Trent said it is more scenic than hard. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@USAFJUNKIE]

Cool video. Loved living in Alaska and wish I could do it again. Only feedback: video showed at least 2 different unsafe practices. First one was a guy leaning over the handle of the Hi-Lift jack while it was in use. Second was sitting in front of the tire sidewall while inflating. You should always be perpendicular to the sidewall to avoid injury should the tire pop.

[@GeoTrashPanda]

Those are most a small nest of spider trails built by 4wheelers and side by sides. They sure are tearing up those 4wheeler trails. LoL look how narrow a lot of those trails are.

[@tjsean0308]

Driver's meeting!!!!!! Look forward to the full coverage on MTOD.

[@RonI-qz2tz]

Love the Scout

[@bashatonic]

Hey motortrend, can we get the full episodes on the paid app please?

[@jamesfkndean]

I think I'm more annoyed that this episode isn't even on the paid subscription. Or atleast that I can find. It was released to KZbin first 🤷‍♂️

[@blapblapism]

bashatonic yeah dude wtf?? I noticed that too

[@quadpit]

Part of the reason I pay monthly is to get this stuff on the paid channel early and yet it's not available there only here? WTF?

[@HarrySituations]

They are up on Motor Trend now.

[@kylefee4822]

The power of google

[@alexanderrotar4797]

minute 5:05, RIP that Jeeps front end haha he took a good old hit there!

[@GridLineGo]

This is great stuff!

[@caseyelaine08]

Why is this not on the motor trend on demand app that I’m paying money for..... seriously get it together motor trend

[@Xcerptshow]

Should have done a comprehensive intro to the rigs at the beginning.

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

I was wondering if this was something the guys from Dirt Every Day would be doing. Lo and behold. Fred Williams is out here doing it and with a diesel no less.

[@MyBridgestone24]

So excited to see this!

[@cbmadcow]

Is this the same trail Top Gear US did? That was a great episode.

[@roamsweethome4895]

Thank you for finally uploading the Alaska UA. I was beginning to think you weren’t going too. It’s nice to see that my home State is just as hard on your Pro rigs as it is on our home built ones. 😁

[@turtletube]

*pretty deep pretty gooey pretty awesome*

[@georgehogue6453]

love this wish I was there

[@cristian333GTX]

Omg the UA2012 double-ended JKJ 😂😍 damm 3:07

[@tmth.stevens]

I've driven to that glacier and hunted moose in those mountains before. Very cool to see this on YT

[@smacinskyjr]

What rocket scientist decided beadlock rims were not necessary for a truck challenge like this?

[@jeremy8715]

Steve probable someone like me. 😁

[@_.Bill._]

Gotta go see the glaciers before they are gone. What a beautifully ironic trip.

[@brettknighten1171]

It is funny that they used this to start the ultimate adventure. Guy drive stock trucks and suvs to the glacier weekly with out even airing down.

[@HarrySituations]

brett knighten where would you recommend wheeling in Alaska that is more challenging?

[@brettknighten1171]

@@HarrySituations many of the other places they have gone including Denali highway area or even do it in the winter to add some challenges or go in to the mountains past the glacier

[@montyholland3357]

Looks like an awesome time. Will there be a UA2020

[@dougiefresh2521]

Looks extremely cold. Is there a Warmer version of this? Too bad Florida doesn’t have such beauty. All we have now is land developers and new subdivisions for northern transplants.

[@brandonconley2705]

Smittybuilt Wrangler was awesome

[@backcountry4798]

Would never buy a smitty built anything again used mine twice and it caught fire. When I called for warranty they told me it was an electrical problem and not covered replaced it with a warn and havent looked back

[@nealgreene6653]

I live on Knik River Rd, wish I had looked up when you guys were gonna be here! It's a fun trip.

[@willandrews9741]

Love this stuff. I have a rig in mind for a someday kinda similar trip. Should u build a sweet rig and go or just buy a sweet UTV and do the trip? My favorite rigs are always the big boys the full size trucks that are newer like from diesel power products. Wow tho that’s an insanely expensive route to go tho. I’ve always wanted a 73-79 F-150-F350. Man those r just so beefy from the get go, even the half ton, comes with a 9 inch rear and Dana 44 front & np205 transfer case. Bulletproof parts from the start up to around 37 in tires.

[@offroadgaragepodcast9198]

What a killer trip

[@Joebummy]

Great content! Keep it up!

[@GeoTrashPanda]

....funny thing is I could spend half a day out in knik before I got bored. It's not a huge park.

[@evanselaban7058]

Can Toyota's go on this trip or is this an american thing? I would love to go on this trip!! Love the vid looking forward to the next

[@tomd1939]

If you search just right on KZbin, an old UA has clampy

[@HarrySituations]

Evans Elaban it isn’t specific to one make or model but it is invite only.

[@evanselaban7058]

Thats a bummer I guess it's you know thats going to get you in then. Thx

[@HarrySituations]

You can apply to come along as a reader. Three new readers are invited each year and Toyotas have come along in the past.

[@evanselaban7058]

thx for the heads up will have to look that up on their website. One day I diff would wanna go one one of those. My truck is not in any kind of shape yet to tackle that kind of journey but it will.

[@erickillg811]

Love your show, I do think you guys should be camping all the time on these episodes And not going to a hotel.That’s just my opinion

[@davel4449]

Why don't we have the whole ultimate adventure 2019 on motor trend on demand it was one of the main reason I subscribed ?!!!

[@ToplessTattoo]

It's going to cost more!!!

[@Bobbyd603]

Right

[@stephendavies2229]

Outsider Wasilla? Um no. Try outsider Palmer. I live here, why is Palmer always over looked?

[@davidblanck4131]

When will these be posted on the motor trend app? Having a hard time finding it on the phone app. Can't wait to watch the rest.

[@MadCarTK]

They usually upload one a day all week for things like these.

[@TheIndoGod]

Man This Is My Dream. Hopefully I Have The Money To Do Something Like It One Day

[@squanchysquanch7525]

The quality of rigs has gone down and it seems there are less and less people every year.

[@EverydayAmerican]

I'm note sure. I can't speak for the decreasing number of people but, I'd rather see rigs like this run the Adventure, as opposed to $150k-$200k, indestructible Ultra4 rigs that run every obstetrical without hesitation. This feels like a much more everyman adventure.

[@Nickwillfixit]

I love the ultimate adventure just wish they were a lot longer episodes, I am sure in the begining we got the whole episodes without going to a paid channel, I hate that you have to pay.

[@corrollaS2010]

I'm very disappointed that I can't watch this on motor trend app for 2 years it's my favorite series

[@AllAmericaTrucks]

I’m Posting DAILY Off-road Videos

[@gorillahd9247]

Anyone else notice the Rubicon sticker on the 1997 TJ? Overall it looked like a fun trip though.

[@ocracoke2013]

This is awesome!!

[@ilovewood79]

This looks like a lot of fun and at the same time it is incredibly sad to watch.

[@brianwolf692009]

That 77 green ford looks like Ferd.

[@chrisrandall6306]

I’ve been to this glacier on my quad fun trails.

[@JuanChavez-nm7fb]

Can you do like an hour video and some action i ordered the ultimate adventure dvd its no good can you guys try ma a video like the dudes from Australia 4waction

[@bsheep83]

Soo much complaining guys. I’m just enjoying all the rigs and the beautiful scenery;)

[@HarrySituations]

gabe A can I like this comment more than once?

[@JeepCherokeeful]

It’s just amazing that anyone would even consider allowing participants to not run beadlocks!

[@statenmorgan962]

Looks like fun. When’s the next episode airing?

[@ethancollins9345]

I thought I was going to see the glacier wasn’t that the highlight

[@colesmith9702]

I hope thst guy gets a bigger jack

[@midu7467]

I'd love to participate but don't think my TJ would even complete the highway portion haha

[@jamessimpsoniii2029]

Really hope Alaska is a Corona free zone for Mr.Pewe

[@mattadrev471]

Wow....love how all the jeeps start having issues within first trip, yet fords are just takin anything you throw at them. yeah.......FORD!~

[@jeremyfufushnick2965]

I was surprised the Ford lasted

[@BigBlockOverland]

Someone please get that old man a better jack.

[@OhioRider82]

Why do I even pay MOTD if this isn’t on there??? Shame

[@phatso786]

I know right. I have it as well and it's not on there. So dumb

[@ToplessTattoo]

It will be. For an additional fee!

[@JettaJack]

Stopped watching anything motortrend once the paywall went up!

[@14880evilmonkey]

These videos are just one massive ad for overpriced 4x4 gear? Let's use our voodoo rope and Smitty built winch to get our Cummins powered rig out of this boghole !!!?!

[@jeremyfufushnick2965]

I didn’t know rope could be so expensive

[@Brodolf_Gainzdeer]

@@jeremyfufushnick2965 you don't do much heavy rigging then. Lol
