Ultimate Adventure 2020 Episode 1: Getting Wild at Blacktail Wild Bill OHV Area | MotorTrend

This is the 20th Ultimate Adventure since the original hardcore off-road event began in 1999 and this year the group kicks off from Kalispell, Montana and heads to the challenging Blacktail Wild Bill OHV Area which is one of the only off-road vehicle parks located inside a national forest. With a mix of natural and man-made off-road obstacles ranging from mild to wild, participants jumped into UA2020 driving a mix of unique and highly built Jeeps, vans, pickups, and 4x4 creations suffering only moderate carnage and relatively few field repairs. #MotorTrend #OffRoad #UA2020

[@tylermorris9196]

just so @motortrend knows, we love seeing how they fix the rigs on the trail. don't edit those parts out, thanks.

[@TexasOffroadAdventures]

it would be nice to see an acutal complete run at the trail instead of 50, 2 second clips...

[@tylermorris9196]

@@TexasOffroadAdventures and details about each rigs specs every now and then.

[@choking0smurf]

Yea. These just feel like trailers for the real videos. Give us real episodes.

[@thechevyman999]

I think the repair thing might be a liability thing, cause sometimes you gotta get a little sketchy to get it done and/or get bacl to camp

When ultimate adventures makes a return, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year

[@rockshockoffroad4x43]

Ian Johnson😎🤙🏼 the guy fieri of off road

[@offroadxplorer]

I drove on the Wild Bill Trail System this past summer in my slightly modified Subaru Outback! I took all the bypasses and it wasn't terribly difficult. This truly is a trail system that a variety of off road vehicles can enjoy.

[@austinlayton5773]

Hahaha yes! I drive my forester up it all the time!

[@kaineleeabel]

Ouch that hurts to watch the blazer get hit like that

[@exhaust_freedom]

Right? :(

[@SamChou]

SO stoked you guys were able to make this happen this year. And mad respect for doing it responsibly in every way. You're all setting a great example of the offroad community, keep on keeping on!

[@DirtydogMech]

Love this series. But why are the episodes so short? They should be at least 40 minutes.

[@riley5624]

I agree but last years were like 2 mins awful

[@MrMrsregor]

its kind of like a sales pitch... they just want to tease you and they are hopping that you will go to their website to watch the rest :(

[@Gadne92.5]

@@MrMrsregor Sorry mate but the episodes are exactly as short at their "Motor Trend On Demand" -website. I pay something like $50 for whole year subscription and I find its a deal compared how much stuff there are and no commercial what so ever.

[@MrMrsregor]

@@Gadne92.5 oh wow, that’s really kind of sad. They used to be more like hour long episodes, and now they even talk about things in the drivers meeting that they never even show in the episode :( I try to not talk bad about someone spending money on tv (cause it’s your money) but I think it is a total wast of money when there is so much good free content out there. I have never paid for any tv show in my 38 years, and I will not start now, that is what KZbin is for. All I have to do is watch a few ads and save $50 a year ($500 every ten years) I’d rather spend my money on vehicle part and fuel. But thank you so much for letting us know we are not missing anything, I will stick to my free tv thank you

[@maughan6957]

What an awesome opportunity to get to go on that journey. Wheelin camping meeting new people sounds like a great time

[@ryantheentrepreneur4040]

I always enjoy watching these! Thanks everyone

[@wesleyburk7421]

That scout is BY FAR the sickest rig there!

[@thomasjackson5274]

Living in the UK, it's always mind blowing (and I'm quite jealous of) seeing just how much off road trails you've got in America. I'd love to get my Defender built and over for one of these Ultimate Adventure trips, but I bet they ban Engines before that happens!

[@johnbehneman1546]

Thank you so much!!!! I love the ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!!!! Ever since I started subscribing to 4 Wheel Magazine, I have enjoyed each year. I learn so much and the scenery is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a Blast. Some very cool rigs.

[@thethepete731]

YAAAY UA dropped! I enjoyed the editing on this one better than last year's so far. Also, Ian is the best. From the rest of Canada, you're welcome. He's yet another magical gift blessed upon the world by the frozen north, eh.

14:32 Shackle bolt was missing on the truck that had the driveshaft fall out...You can see it when he put it back in..

[@Surlyman03]

14:32 there’s your driveshaft separation issue; upper shackle bolt is MIA.

[@tylerarmijo4694]

That was a good catch!

[@trentmcgee6738]

That would be an empty hole in the shackle. The shackle bolt is above that hole, out of view.

Love ultimate adventure but not motortrend anymore after geo-blocking and how short some features are that should be full length

[@bartbarnett2811]

So you neglected your vehicle and had to do plugs and wires your rotor cap is probably burnt to s*** and your fuel pump only went out because there's so much trash in the tank that you're shaking up. Sounds about right. This isn't a you have to pay the play situation this is you have to not be dumb and do general maintenance.

Why are we paying for watching this on motortrend on demand if then you upload it freely on youtube? It would be cheaper to wait until all episodes are on you tube.

It's free on youtube every year. If you're paying for MTOD just to watch the UA content, then cancel your account. If you watch other stuff on MTOD then quit chirpin, you're getting your moneys worth you wanker.

What's the deal with a "man made obstacle" trail system in a place like Montana? Seems like there would be more natural terrain trails than you could ride in half a lifetime. It just looks like a bunch of trash out in the woods that you're driving over.

[@oklahomawheeling4x4]

Do you guys fake all the breaks? Why do so many of the participants break down. You throw a rig together overnight and go out and break them. Wheeling jaloppies should be the name of the show.
