Great episode Chris! Was such a pleasure to meet you and share an adventure with you! We loved every minute of it! Hopefully our paths will cross again sometime! Onward!

Make that griddle bag available and I'll buy one!

[@nickscott5675]

Love the griddle bag, great colours for your rig and a great place to store it. Love the “product placement Timms coffee” glad you enjoyed our great country

[@TheSASurvival]

North Bound Expeditions I realized that, but it looked great, especially as you don’t see much of it in video,s and Chris being from the USA. Love the griddle bag and will be in touch.

[@nosnerd1967]

Awesome ! 🇨🇦

[@Oldmanoverlander]

Excellent Chris, enjoy your time with Cole and build those very important memories. Because of this episode, I have purchased some equipment from North Bound Expeditions. Thanks for sharing!

[@davestelling]

Chris experiences a tentative encounter with the perimeter guard @ 25:10; good thing she's well heeled, too. My gosh, what a beautiful Dobe! I don't think there's anywhere on earth as magical & magnificent as Maine and neighboring New Brunswick...

[@Lloydster45]

Awesome video with some nice Canadian guys ! You're just like a typical Canadian Chris, you're kind, cautious about stuff and adventurous. A really good tip I got years ago when I used to go four wheeling was to spray dielectric grease into all of the plugs and connections throughout the truck. from front to back, lights and all. Disconnect the battery first and then unplug each one, spray it, plug it back in and move on to the next. Yes it's time consuming but if you're doing water crossings it's a good idea. Some of the sensor plugs under the hood might not even be water resistant connectors. I lived in Saint John New Brunswick for a couple of years when I was a kid.

[@mnsterbruiser]

This series has been like a Mountain State Overland revisit. Same guests but I enjoy the new take on the area from a solo traveler perspective. I've learned quite a bit about areas just from watching your travels. Plus not having to hear that loud country music on repeat is super welcomed. Thanks for taking us along.

[@AZDIYGuy]

Awesome vid. It felt like there was lot more time in the water than on dry land for a good while there. Fun stuff!

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

AZ DIY Guy that’s pretty typical for NB trails lol

Chris, your channel does indeed keep getting better and better. I look forward to a new episode each week. My grandson and I just finished watching this one and now he wants to go camping in a Rubicon, "Oh Yeah!"

Loved the video. I really like North Bound Expeditions patience with setting up the camera for drive by shots. That has to be very time consuming. Very nice, some of the prettiest scenery on any of your videos and I live in Utah and you covered a bunch of beautiful stuff there.

Awesome episode!!!! Glad you had a great time with NB Expedition. Hope you and your son spend some quality time together my friend. Be safe 👍🏻🇺🇸😉

[@alexanderweaver9182]

Amazing episode, Chris! That two hour trail drive was well worth the effort. I also store clothes on the floor of my Jeep, Chris. I store them in large 55gl contractor bags and after countless water crossings nothing has gotten wet or even moist after rolling the ends and securing them with a small strip of duck tape.

[@jamiegruenke3765]

One of your best yet! Gorgeous scenery! 😍. Glad you enjoyed some good quality bro time. That Doberman was such a lover! 🥰. Enjoy your father/son time!

[@richardbixler5718]

The mosquitoes were biting the fire out of me at Caprock Canyon State Park in North Texas, and that was in late October. Probably should keep looking for the mobile thermacell. I've gotta add, that is just an awesome beautiful campsite.

[@BrianGlassEOD]

Great episode Chris. Beautiful scenery, great Jeeps and camp set-ups. One of my favorite of volume 7.

[@MoparNewport]

Hi Venture - We met last year briefly in Watson Lake YT, I have the Crush Orange 13 JKUR with the massive toolbox on the roof rack. My sway bar disconnect has also failed repeatedly - I actually drilled out the rivets to get inside the electrical side to figure out what goes on. Water bypasses the sway bar seals to enter the electrical side, flooding, filling it, and of course rotting it out. What I did with mine was blew all the water and corrosion out and drowned it in WD40; then silicone and bolted it back up. If I were to do similar to a 'known good' unit Id likely use some sort of spray on corrosion inhibitor, then replace the rivets with bolts and nuts to be able repeat the process annually. That said, I *never* use the sway bar actuator; I found it to be a massive liability (the roll is horrific) on road and no real noticeable difference to my rig off road. You ever make it back up here, would be good to do some wheeling!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris this was a completely different land (sea) scape from your typical adventure, really a great trail. Love the mojito green, unfortunately Jeep no longer offers that color... Stay safe.

[@In2jeep]

Chris, You need your air dam back. It'll protect your swaybar disconnect from getting water splashed directly on it. Might even keep all the water off it!

[@LeoDodier]

[@phillip1115]

Chris, little bit of silicone sealant or better yet 3M 4000 or 4200 (not 5200) would help keep the water out of your actuator.

[@adventuresneverstop]

maybe put a new seal or rtv to seal the actuator with the housing.

[@artm6723]

Was thinking the same thing. Didn't notice any kind of gasket when he took it off.

[@malifestro7596]

Agreed. I'd attempt to seal it all up, and even the connector too.

[@changes165]

Indeed I thought the same

[@briananderson9398]

Makes you wonder how much water got in the deferentials? Milkshake!

[@pastorammo]

Those Canadian accents are cool.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

pastorammo lol

[@uweschroeder]

What you need is a gasket/seal around that flange so no water goes in and I'd put dielectric grease on the connector - liberally. The electric sway bar disconnect has a history of failing with water crossings simply because it's not waterproof - and in my book that's a major shortcoming for something that sits under a 4x4 off road vehicle. You should get a pneumatic disconnect - those actually work and you do have a compressor on board these days. For me: I have manual quick disconnects and while it's a slight hassle to stop, get out, disconnect and sometimes having to rock the boat to reconnect, they work every time no questions asked, wet or not. Just lube them liberally and they're born ready. Had to show this episode to my wife - she's not that much into off-roading except as a necessary evil to get to nice places, but she's very much into sixpacks - LOL

[@yoyartube]

Check out the ORO SwayLoc which is manually operated and would be much more reliable for you. Just flip a lever. I have ordered one recently. Also, your sway bar bushings are worn out. It should be quite difficult to move your sway bar up and down by hand, it looked like you did it very easitly.

[@irvingzisman3252]

This one should be called, "Three dudes going on an overlanding date". Lol.

[@1111Overland]

Great mounting spot for that new bag... BUT will it melt when you use your stove?
