    Man, love the cinematography - the different shots and the color grading are all really well done! And the story telling style - mostly driving footage with interlaced conversations/discussions - flows really well. Looking forward to the next chapter!

    Tell the guy with the mystery noise that his driveshaft is dragging on the gas tank skid when his ass end is off camber and lateral pressure is shifting the rear end. Peep the wear marks on the driveshaft at the end of the video when he crawls under to take a look

    Nice video! I've been just about everywhere in the San Juan Mountains except Black Bear and Poughkeepsie. I always rent a rig and these two locations are prohibited for rentals. I love the handling of the two-door Willys. When you come back - which you surely will. You have to try Engineer and Clear Lake. Nothing intense, just amazing views. Happy trails!!

    I'm truly envious of your video editing skills! I finally made it out there for the first time this past October, but only had time for Engineer Pass. I'm planning to make a return trip to hit Imogene and Black Bear. It should be "interesting" given that I hate heights! 🤣🤣🤣

    You guys have some serious cahones…my wife and I just watched this and she made me agree to never go on black bear pass 😂😂😂 I doubt my big ole tundra would fair well on the steps so I will heed her counsel. Planning a trip up Poughkeepsie Gulch, camping at lake como, then I might go up Yankee boy basin and Imogene backwards. Can’t wait to see your Moab video next, the preview looked insane!! Hope no rigs were harmed. I live in Burns TN..I just found out about Mill Creek Overland recently. I’ll have to contact them for an install when I decide on a rear bumper setup.

    Ha ha, Black Bear is definitely a pucker factor the entire way down but we're happy we did it. The trip you're planning sounds like a good one, love that area of Colorado. Yankee boy in episode 3 was incredible, make sure to make that one happen. If you ever want to come by the shop and talk just come on by!

    Hey, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I watched all 3 yesterday and I'm on this 4th one now on my TV. WOW.....the challenges you guys have had and you are still in good spirits. Great Videos and very well done...Question: did your WeBoost work at all on this trip up high and what type of radios are you all using?

  • @rallyrats

    @rallyrats

    6 ай бұрын

    Thanks! We appreciate you watching and your support. To be honest, probably didn't use the weboost too much. We've had issues with earlier models but hopefully the units they have now in days are a lot better. With spotty service, didn't really see a boost and if there was no service, well there is no service to boost. We can't really speak for the new models though. I know a lot of people like their weboosts but we'll probably end up with Star Link. We're all running Midland radios, mostly the mxt400 unit. They have been great!

    They do not, but yes disconnecting sway bars will help with off-road performance. The new 2024 Tacoma now features this but other vehicles have been doing this for awhile.
