ZR2 Overland- Memorial Day Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway Trip

[@edflores1807]

Love those ZR2 trucks....

[@TruckerZRoadGangFan]

Was really interested in getting a ZR2 but Mike has made me change my mind

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

Hahahahaha why is that?

[@twistnshout3031]

For the record. #youtube @youtube... whatever KZbin, nobody watches the ads. Get rid of ads! Need to link up when I come down that way though.

[@seansteiert1173]

Cool Vid. Where did you guys get your bush bumper?

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

Shoddy fabrication

[@Scotty777]

Amazing looking trip! Time to build my Z71 2.8 and get to it!

[@RogueOverland]

Looks like fun!

[@vanawesome]

man this looks like so much fun.

[@jessitaylor4170]

Those are some badass looking ZR2s, I can't wait to get the ZR2 Bison with the baby Duramax from AEV.

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

Congrats! You would be so astonished what these trucks and especially the Bison are capable of. Please think about deleting the truck sooner than later, the emissions system is the weak link and it depends where you live. Let me know if you go down that route, I can refer you to my tuner. Tune/delete was the best thing I did to the truck at 10k miles, I should have done it immediately. AEV is a fantastic company and their stuff is amazing. Are you going to do their snorkel or the couple additional skid plates they offer for the bison?

[@red6743]

@@CarsCatsCannabis Why do you recommend sooner than later? I would think you'd want to at least wait until the warranty runs out.

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

@@red6743 EGR recirculates exhaust back into the intake, coating it with soot. Not to mention emissions issues with DPF. There are two schools of thought. 1. Delete right away to minimize damage and hope you got a good engine from factory. 2. Wait until warranty is up to delete. Nothing wrong with either option, up to you.

[@red6743]

@@CarsCatsCannabis Can't help but notice that one comment, "hope you got a good engine from the factory.." are issues being seen with the baby duramax aside from exhaust?

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

@@red6743 All engines have issues in general, that is what I was stating. No need for concern! Mine has been great. Enjoy!

[@tylerwidmer7088]

I'm running a stock height 14 ram you think I would be alright on these trails

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

I think it would be an adventure...

[@michiganmadestudios6947]

Do you guys see any performance out of the snorkel as far as the mpg

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

no decrease in performance, but no increase either noticeable

[@viewoptic]

Which route did you guys take?

[@williamroberson5016]

Are all the zr2s stock and diesel?

[@mikesbigpimping]

This makes me want to leave LA and just live in the back country. Everyone has a nice adventure vehicle in this vid. Major props 👌

Who knew Kentucky would have epic places like this. Loved the video.

Hudson Z Roamer I know right! When he said KY i was like da fuq!! Haha wonderful looking parts!

[@rebel-pt1tv]

nice. but my stock 98 ranger did spaas creek and part of pumpkin hollow before i turned around because i kept bottoming out on the deep ruts. while id love a new truck, its just not necessary for offroad like many seem to think

[@ayeslump]

Need a list of all the stuff you have in your trucks....like cooler mods, off road tool kits, tents, etc

[@leroyleary4676]

Do any of the ZR2’s have a BDS lift ?

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

mine did!

try swinging your wheels from right to left to help get more traction.

[@mikeryan3853]

Can you give any more detail on the riverside campsite location? Would love to hit that spot

[@racrx7]

he has a cat in his truck and at that time the cat was doing something and distracting him i found out after the fact

[@magnacartasamadams8189]

Nice to see there is good off road trails in my grandfather's national forest I might have to collaborate with you guys in my Midnight ZR2 diesel next time Mine is bone stock I still want to basically do everything you have done to yours I already have a modified f250 I would probably take as well I just want to make sure both trucks have winches before I take that big heavy Ford in the mud

[@Grumpybird]

On the river i be fishing

[@jeffnone2107]

Dude in Orange shirt really just can't drive crazy how bad he is

[@whoeever]

I don't know how many times somebody called out to Mike to turn his wheels to the passenger side but he never did. Either Mike is hard of hearing, doesn't know what passenger means, or is just plain stubborn.

[@whoeever]

I think Mike got a new nickname now. We will call him him passenger Mike

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

He's a lot more experienced than I! That was a funny clip haha

[@readyrig4x4]

It's a little annoying to watch and listen to that..🤣 listen to your freckin spotter!

unfortunately none of us even found the name of it, couldn't find anyone to pay for our stay either. I'm trying to find where it was

Great video Cam! I think this might be your best video yet. Love the work you all did with your winches. Great job helping each other through some challenging trails. That camp spot on Sunday by the river was about as good as it gets. YooperSooZR2

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

Thanks, Robert! I am hoping to be up in your next of the woods in 2-3 weeks, I’ll let you know. Hoping to camp wildcat rd if flies/skeets aren’t too bad or maybe two hearted campground.

Amazing video ! 👍👍👍

[@allenheaps2084]

why are we whispering especially around camp? would really love to hear what you're saying!

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

kittens were asleep

[@zackaryrecords4779]

I know that spot by the river off of mulberry road. Is that a public spot within the national forest or is it private property? Would love to take my family.

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

I believe it’s private

[@DGETHIS01]

Out of curiosity i figure youre probably over payload with all the steel, overland gear and passengers. Did you aid the rear of truck? Air bags? Im right at the max when fully geared up. When i throw my dirt bike on the receiver hitch im about 150 over

[@CarsCatsCannabis]

I am not over payload, although I am removing some steel and getting new bumpers. I am putting on Deaver leafs to compensate for my weight this year.

[@DGETHIS01]

@@CarsCatsCannabis oh okay. Its amazing how quick gear,armor start to rack up the pounds. Yes hopefully they come out soon. I could use a 500 pound stiffer rear leaf

[@allenheaps2084]

Nice video with some great scenery. One observation though. I'm pretty sure you don't want to do the low and slow through a mud hole. Save that for the dry steep hill assent over rough terrain. In mud you might want to giv'er a little gas and run through it. Just sayin.
