A Fateful Trip with Deep Water Crossings Winch Hills and Carnage on the Fordyce Jeep Trail

[@brcc8208]

That's true 4 wheeling Jeep Style! This is where the Jeep earns its credibility! Thank's for sharing!

[@gabet9993]

That is a perfect example of what makes Americans great people. Taking on obstacles and difficulty with know how and a positive attitude in a vehicle designed originally for when America was fighting to save the world. I salute you guys for carrying on the tradition of never giving up. And I salute my Grandfather's who fought in WW2 and took part in the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. Don't quit don't ever quit.

[@wayalife]

We're truly flattered you would say as much and we're so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@wyatth.2025]

Thank you Wayalife. You guys have changed my life. The minute I watched your videos I had the Jeep bug, and have gotten the opportunity to build up my rig. The videos have taught me more than just jeep things. I live the wayalife, and love it. You are truly life changing, Thank You.

[@wayalife]

+Wyatt H. We're so glad to hear it and glad that you enjoy our films.

[@billys2482]

Always fun to watch these with my son thank you again Eddie and Cindy! Can't wait till the Rocking Rubicon Video gets made!

[@wayalife]

+William Slavens Glad to hear you were able to watch this with your son and enjoyed it.

[@caboosez250]

This Jeff guy with 35's is my new hero. He is the closest to the "everyman's" rig.

[@wayalife]

+Josh Mullard That's pretty much true. Fortunately, he's a good driver.

[@wayalife]

+tyler t On this film, he was still running factory axles with replacement chromoly shafts. I should note that he ended up bending the flanges on his rear shafts and Northridge4x4 would not warranty them.

[@wayalife]

+tyler t Unfortunately, they really aren't or at least, depending on how hard you really are on them. He was really surprised that they wouldn't help him too especially being that the shafts were essentially new and were supposed to come with a no questions asked warranty. He no longer shops with Northridge4x4

[@TrainwreckATX]

What kind of shafts were they? I thought it was the manufacturer's position to accept or deny a warranty claim. Is that not the case?

[@wayalife]

+TrainwreckATX At the time, they were shafts that Northridge4x4 had ordered up and were the only ones selling them. The warranty claim had to go through them of course, they are no longer selling these shafts.

[@WatersWest]

No Doubt that Wayalife is the BEST KZbin channel for Jeepers! Another Great video, Eddie! Thanks for sharing!

[@wayalife]

+Steve Waters Thank you, we're so glad that you feel that way about our Jeep videos.

[@ilovekitties8643]

by far you have the best jeep videos on KZbin! us as fans appreciate all the hard work you put into these films! thanks for your uploads!

[@wayalife]

+Craig Daye Thank you, we're so glad to hear you like them.

[@joshmitchem5264]

Who doesn't love a happy ending? Great video, keep them coming!

[@wayalife]

+Josh Mitchem You betcha! Thank you :)

[@krisg3984]

Damn !! What CAN’T you all do ?! Extra batteries, on the trail WELDING ? Power tools , and all the expertise to do it all.... wowza !! Also Love those moments that are so-JEEP- pull the plugs and let the water out. 😎👍

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Glad to hear you had fun watching this one :)

[@QuiteSBR556]

Always great vids!! So jealous. Stock 2015 Wrangler. First jeep and loving it so far. Bought in FEB.

[@wayalife]

+QuiteSBR556 Thank you and congrats to you on your new Jeep!

[@zoltandeak7476]

This is the greatest 4x4 vid ever! Well done! Great to see no jeep ego creep through and let your 4x4ing tell the story!

[@wayalife]

+Zoltan Deak LOL!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@greygoose4x46]

Watxhing these really helps get through the winter ... Thanks again for making them and looking forward to the spring and wheeling time

[@lovers8695]

I'm surprised at a wonderful picture each time. And I'm enviable. That there is a place which can be run appropriate for JEEP.

[@danhubers3785]

Nice to see another great video. Love seeing the adventures & all the team work.

[@wayalife]

+Dan Hubers Thank you, we're glad that you enjoyed it.

[@ortizgab]

by far, best 4x4 youtube channel! Thanks Wayalife, this one is as good as always!

[@wayalife]

+Gabriel Ortiz We really do appreciate it.

[@cavediverjc]

Another amazing video of a great group of Jeepers. You guys look like you have a ton of fun. I love watching these videos!!!!!

[@wayalife]

+cavediverjc Thank you. We are lucky to have such good friends to wheel with.

[@1990comanche]

That first water crossing was pretty funny. I think my drain plugs have been in my glove box for the past two years.

[@wayalife]

+Craig H Yeah, it was funny for us as well :)

[@chaplaintigheaslet7009]

What a fantastic piece you've created here! Look'n forward to getting our paws dirty with you awesome folks as soon as we get through SEMA.

[@wayalife]

+Chaplain TIG Heaslet That would be awesome if you could join us

[@lucasbogart4685]

Great video. Wayalife you make the best Jeep videos on youtube. I can watch them over and over again. Thanks for another great video

[@wayalife]

+Lucas Bogart Thank you, we're so glad that you enjoyed it.

[@07godgiventalent]

"Car fires can't stop the Honey Badger!" LOL Awesome video.

[@TimberMoto]

Seriously the best wheeling video I've watched. You guys did an amazing job. Reminds me of why I love wheeling so much, and how great the community is.

[@FutureTruckerJen101]

I love these videos and the humor you guys have.

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We're so glad that you like our videos and the banter that goes on in them :)

[@uncleben03]

And secondly, this is one of my favorite Wayalife videos so far! This really captured that comradery that we all feel on trips like this!

[@wayalife]

+uncleben03 Thank you. It's always nice to wheel with good friends.

[@henrybucknerjr5982]

great series lady and guy. had one water time years ago in a place far away. in a 2 and half ton

[@ruffinwood9790]

This channel if my most favorite off road channels, if not one of my most favorite out of all of my subscriptions. Keep it up. Love these vids so much!

[@wayalife]

+Ruffin Wood Thank you, we really do appreciate it.

[@woof3598]

still love watching the old ones

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome :)

[@MattSieber]

Well, I managed to spill my coffee on my lap while watching this. I was so captivated I didnt realize I was more along for the ride then necessary. This was a great learning vid on what can happen to anyone out on the trail and what to be prepared for.

[@wayalife]

+Matt Sieber LOL!! Too funny, we're glad that you enjoyed it that much :)

[@keynonbarnes1439]

I've considered selling my jeep but after watching many of your videos, I was inspired and built it more. maybe someday therapy could meet moby. happy trails

[@nicholashoneycutt5827]

Man i am hooked on your videos. I have watched almost all of the videos and unfortunately I cannot afford a JK but I have decided that I am gonna purchase a Jeep TJ. The comradery that you and the guys have is amazing and you dont see that much in other 4x4 communities. Atleast not that I have noticed. Thank You so much for letting us experience your journeys with you.

[@wayalife]

+Nicholas Honeycutt Nothing wrong with a TJ as they are great Jeeps. Glad to hear you enjoyed our film

[@SquirlX22]

By far my favorite channel on KZbin. It's always a good day when y'all upload a video.

[@wayalife]

+Cody Williams We're so glad to hear it, thank you.

[@mikeh0222]

Another great adventure you brought us long for. As always thanks for the awesome video allowing me to live vicariously through you guys!

[@wayalife]

+mikeh0222 Thank you, we're so glad that you felt like you were following along with us even if it was only vicariously.

[@Berto3511]

Another awesome video guys! I can't wait for the next one.

[@wayalife]

+Berto3511 Thanks, we'll be sure to get on it right after SEMA

[@stevegraves378]

Thank you thank you thank you. It's amazing how much you don't see when you're driving the trail. I did Fordyce just a few weeks before you. It's really nice to have this amazing video to relive it. You guys do the best videos!

[@wayalife]

+Steve Graves We're so glad that you would say as much. Thank you.

[@dc12pk]

Saw that this was up and couldn't wait. It sounds silly, but I was more excited to see this than the season finale of any of the TV shows I watch. Got lunch, went to the bathroom, shut my office door and escaped for 23:56. Thank you.

[@wayalife]

+dc12pk LOL!! we hope you enjoyed it :)

[@albertofranco477]

Cool...the best Jeep video! Thanks for sharing

[@jeremywilson5671]

I saw one wayalive jeep video and then I binge watched all of them. they really make me want to get out there with some buddies and wheel. 👍👍

[@wayalife]

LOL! Awesome, we're glad you enjoy them

[@arturorodriguez2772]

Eddie and Cindy: as always, great video! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures.

[@wayalife]

+Arturo Rodriguez We're so glad that you enjoyed it

[@ImagineerThomas]

I've had a 2010 Wrangler Sport JK for 5 years and your videos are definitely the inspiration for finally lifting it this summer. Great content.

[@98hundy]

Nice video, you capture the spirit of the trail well. I'm sitting here watching the snow come down on the Sierra and waiting for summer so I can get back up there again. Watching videos like this helps me be patient.

[@YFZMoto]

Another EPIC Video Eddie, You never Disappoint and Cindy does a Fantastic job on editing. Bravo and I'm glad he did not burn his Jeep to the ground,,,,,,,Can't wait for the next adventure.

[@wayalife]

+YFZMoto Thank you so much. We're always afraid that we won't be able to deliver and are so glad that you enjoyed it.

[@chicagowsox212]

I have a big problem with these Wayalife videos.....THAT THEIR ARE'NT EVEN MORE OF THEM!!! Another great one here. Keep up the good work! Very cool!

[@wayalife]

+chicagowsox212 Thank you, we're so glad that you enjoy our videos.

[@dennisneu8864]

Wow - what a cool video. Can't believe you guys wheel with a portable welder - that is being prepared! Thanks for sharing.

[@darkstreakaia5267]

Dennis Neu you can weld with 2 batteries and 2 srts of jumper cables as well. Don't need the welder.fyi

[@ZMan377]

You do an awesome job of editing and matching music to the video! Well done!!!

[@wayalife]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed our video.

[@nachovalenti]

Wow!! I watched for second and third time your videos and they really awesome. I love everything about them,Jeeps,land,nice people,music...great job Eddie and Cindy. ❤️

[@wayalife]

One of our older videos but still one of our favorite trips. Glad you could enjoy it too :)

[@advrider7777]

[@wayalife]

[@wayalife]

+Matador-JK LOL!! Glad to hear it

[@zachbartz4536]

Keep it up guys. Another great video and another great trail that I want to tackle.

[@douglindstrom]

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!

[@wayalife]

+Doug Lindstrom Glad to hear it :)

[@mrcollpepper]

another great video. thanks for making these and I am looking forward to more in the future.

[@wayalife]

+BW Davis Thank you, you can count on us to make more too :)

[@redzz02]

This is amazing, what a wonderful job

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@xstaytruexpositivex]

I was SO EXCITED when I saw this post. Another fantastic video. Looks like it just wasn't Jeff's day!

[@wayalife]

+xstaytruexpositivex No, it really wasn't but, as you could see in the end, he was still all smiles. That's why he's the Honey Badger :)

[@marzman6233]

what an awesome video!!! Thank you again!! ROCKACON

[@wayalife]

+Marzman We're glad you enjoyed it :)

[@pullingtaffyproductions8148]

wow , awesome adventure ! thanks for all your hard work and time to make these videos. way to cool !!

[@wayalife]

+Jim Schweigert It's our pleasure, we're so glad you like them

[@tal2471983]

can't get enough of this stuff! thank you for the video!

[@wayalife]

+Tal Tabib You're most welcome, we're glad you enjoyed it.

[@marcellobittencourt1836]

that was intense to watch! I loved it! made me feel like I was there. you guys make a beautiful jeep family

[@wayalife]

+Marcello Junior Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it.

[@jeffbevan]

AS always AMAZING video - love when a new Wayalife video pops up on my subscription feed. Thanks for putting it together!

[@wayalife]

+Jeff Bevan So glad to hear you liked it and all our other videos.

[@MrConner008]

Your videos makes me wish I had a jeep. My Tacoma DCLB could never keep up with you guys on these trails even with all the mods I have. Out on the rocks, solid axles are a must as you have clearly shown in your videos. You have the best offroading videos on youtube.

[@Paleoman]

I backpacked the length of the Sierras when I was a youngster, 16-20'yrs old. I often wondered what it would be like to drive those trails. Thank you, now I have a darn good idea. BTWm xlnt quality videos you make, you should take it up full time. Yours are better than TV production.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Thank you, we're truly flattered you'd say as much.

[@RK-kj8di]

I just love the the famous quote from Doug aka Trail Bud... you gotta wheel you don't have to eat you don't have to work but you gotta wheel you don't have to sleep either, ...but that will bite you in the ass after a while

[@Happypwnstar]

Always an amazing treat when you release a new video!

[@wayalife]

+Happypwnstar We're so glad you would think as much. Thank you.

[@dtmccurdy11]

Great vid! Love seeing the stuff you guys put out. Have to agree with the rest that wheeling with friends is always a blast no matter what difficulty trail you are on!

[@wayalife]

+dtmccurdy11 Indeed, regardless of the trail difficulty, being out with good friends IS what makes it a blast.

[@dasschramm]

Awesome trip guys. I only did a little of this trail with a stock Rubicon in 2003 and gave up early. Glad I did from the looks of the rest of it. Wow.

[@wayalife]

+David Schramm Yeah, some of it may have been a bit hard for you to do in a stock Rubicon. Glad you enjoyed the film.

[@TheGoodLifeVFam]

Glad to see the videos again... Great video as always!!

[@wayalife]

+The Good Life Thank you

[@TheMrhyde38]

I dont own a Wrangler at the moment but ur vids , plus a few other youtubers , have convinced me to revamp my goals and bucket list of life. I only hope to afford a rig like any I have ever witnessed on ur vids. I would def have a Stihl chainsaw as part of my gear though ! The on-board welder is an awesome idea I never thought of .

[@ReefZA]

Great watch! My stock Mitsu Paj would never make it up trails like these, so great to be able to watch them here :D

[@tinafurtek4079]

Love the videos haven't turned one off yet.perfect amount of music and commentary.also love the fact that none of ur rigs are trailer queens.u drive them to the trails.

[@gregoryalanreid9801]

Very kool run, the water shots were very kool, hope to meet yous on the trail, me and luceil👍🏿👊🏿💪🏿👏🏿🙏🏿❤️

[@wayalife]

Thank you. It'd be great to meet you out on the trail someday :)

[@ferniemorelos]

wow this it probably the best trail video i have ever seen ! good editing and the music really sets the tone!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we appreciate it and we're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@quam13]

AWESOME! You guys are the best.

[@wayalife]

+quam13 Thank you

[@WidowYJ91]

Nice to see the toyos and spyders locks back out on the trail!

[@wayalife]

+David Lamm LOL!! It was a good setup and as much as we liked the look of the spyder lock rings, they're far from practical. They like to catch on rocks and tree roots and if they get bent like ours were, they throw off your balance. ATX makes them for spyder lock and I prefer their simpler rings.

[@sailingjacobe]

I was looking at some old Four Dice pics from when my dad and I used to go every year for Sierra Club. Great to see that you guys did this trail! Ill be waiting for the next Video!

[@rcurtism1]

Awesome video as usual and a great looking trip!

[@wayalife]

+rcurtism1 Thank you

[@thejohnnerparty]

Very good vlog. Loved your commentary along the way.

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@ShodyT]

That teamwork was amazing

[@Revoctours]

man I am always jealous of you guys and your adventures. great video and I'm glad no one was hurt

[@wayalife]

+Revoctours We're so glad you enjoyed it.

[@FM418]

You guys never cease to amaze me! What an impressive group of drivers and friends! Thanks as always for sharing your adventures and wishing you all safe journeys on your future excursions!!! :o)

[@wayalife]

+FM418 Thank you, we're so glad you liked it.

[@michaeldempsey6747]

absolutely amazing video guys thank you. that is so inspirational to see just a couple of fri3dns conquer such obstacles together. I hope to get a wayalife sticker soon because it is truly like nothing else

[@Dorgie20]

always amazing footage cant wait for your next adventure!

[@wayalife]

+Brendin Dorge Thank you. We hope to have a new adventure up soon.

[@ArmchairOutdoorsman]

Another great vid Cindy and Eddie! Thank you! I hope to get stuck on a trail with you guys one day! All the best from Canada!

[@wayalife]

+Iain Richardson Glad you enjoyed it and that would be great if you could join us some day

[@charlesconnor1737]

Awesome video... huge Jeep fan it’s all my wife will drive ... I’m itching for a new Jl for myself... love the videos...

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@louisg7914]

You guys are amazing, always such positive attitudes! You inspire me to get out and go wheeling more and more and I cannot thank you enough. I have the wayalife bug and its the best. Thank you for all your videos and inspiration!

[@wayalife]

+Louis G LOL!! Thank you, we're so glad that you enjoy our videos :)

[@BluSigmaSL]

These videos make me wish there were more local trails and groups. I've only found two of each, One group is just for mudding, and the other is a Jeep exclusive. As for trails, one (the one I go to) is primarily for ATVs, and the other only allows (You guessed it) the Jeep group, no other vehicles. Awesome vid wayalife! Y'all have some sweet rigs.

[@LairdKrug]

Outstanding! Love watching these!

[@wayalife]

+Laird Krug Thank you, we're so glad you liked it.

[@brad8084]

Great video! Now back to patiently waiting for your next one lol

[@wayalife]

+Bradley Harden LOL!! We'll start working on it after SEMA

[@CBeard849]

Pretty cool video...even though I'm a Landcruiser guy! It's always wise to have those welding and repair abilities handy. After all, you don't buy winches and welders NOT to use them!! Great trip.

[@wayalife]

+Chris Beard Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@NizR33]

Absolutely awesome, again ... And such a great moment captureing the mate-ship that is all about jeeping n wheeling .. Feels like we've been friends for years with the dialogue and how you edit the vid. Thanks again to you both for all your efforts.. Cheers Jose

[@wayalife]

+Jeep JKU - Dieselcon Thank you, we really appreciate it and we're so glad that you would feel that way.

[@leedixon7]

Another great wheelin vid!!! I always look forward to them, one day I hope to wheel with you all....

[@wayalife]

+Lee Dixon Thanks and that would be awesome

[@dwitcraft]

Thanks for the great video. Too bad you couldn't spend the night and see the rest of the trail in light, it's spectacular. Fordyce is an epic trail, like Rubicon but more vertical. At Sierra Trek the long wheelbase trail participants like to march down from camp(at the end of the trail, accessible by fire roads), and watch the carnage on the last three winch hills(I'm dating myself, this was back before 4 door Wranglers).

[@wayalife]

Oh yeah, we've run the trail plenty of times and yes, it is a beautiful one.

[@souledoutrc8174]

These are awesome videos man I love the jeeps you all have.

[@Rideskishore]

Another great video Eddie. Nice job!

[@onetruebob_tj]

great video! I had the chance to run Fordyce twice before leaving CA. My 33's & 3" lift did well. admittedly, I didn't do WH#1. and my buddies tricked me at WH#2 by not telling me it was a winch hill. I made it without needing to winch. valve stem on 1 tire & a busted sidewall on another. just glad Jezebel made it through

[@wesbarcus3761]

At about 10:40 someone asked "what happened?" After a day like that the best answer should have been "Fordyce Happened!" Great video. Thanks.

[@SheldonD7878]

Great video as always!

[@wayalife]

+Sheldon C. Dingle Jr. (Big Shel) Thank you, we really appreciate it.

[@koston777]

Great video as always! Great job! Maybe one day i'll go with you guys

[@wayalife]

+LeeROBD Thanks and that would be cool if you could join us.

[@rachelwhite4449]

Awesome video and trail! I’ll have to put that one on the list. 😊 Epic trip!

[@wayalife]

We can make it happen ;)

[@goetzemj]

Amazing edit as always guys, keep up the great work.

[@wayalife]

+Goitsy Thank you

[@YoodlePudding]

Sick video! The wait is finally over!!

[@wayalife]

+Garrett G LOL!! Now you've gotta wait for the next one ;)

[@annalog88]

So freakin awesome!! I really hope I do win the lottery and be able to wheel with you guys. It seems so to be the most amazing trip you can do with a Jeep! Greetings from a frozen north Sweden.

[@wayalife]

+Marcus Nystrom That would be awesome if you could join us some day!

[@msjcdrz125]

Awesome as always!

[@thedominicanway9682]

Man I can wait to buy my girlfriend future wife a jeep. this is a nice video
