Solid Axle Cadillac Escalade & Chevy Tahoe hit the Rubicon Trail
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Evan and Josh take the big girls all the way through the Rubicon Trail and pop out on the Tahoe side. Watch as they get snowed on the first night (Matt grossly underprepared) and have the Spring’s completely to them selves for two nights.
This trip was taken on the first weekend of October. As we upload this video today 10/19, the trail is now completely covered in snow. Take that in mind when planning your trip to the con.
We were lucky enough to get awesome weather for 2 of the 3 days.
You can do the trail in one day if your don’t stop a lot and have no major breaks. Most people do 2 day trips and camp at Buck island or the springs. We chose to do a 3 day trip and had one day to fish, hike, relax chill at the springs.
Both trucks took very minimal body damage and performed great with no issues. This was Big Josh’s first trip out with the Caddy AKA Baller Crawler and he was stoked on how well
It did. Big Shout out to our buddies at @wfoconcepts for a kick ass build.

I own the 2002 GMT800 escalade and I want to build mines up too. Seeing a lifted lac truck in the mountain trails soo wrong but feels soo right at the same time!!! LOVETHIS!!
Thank you for taking these out on a real adventure. Truly functional 4x4 fantasy
Seeing that Escalade on 42's makes me miss my old 99 Escalade on 6 inch lift 39.5 boggers and 15x20 sr28's
Hats off, these boys built a couple of nice, capable Chevys. 🇺🇲
That lifted escalade is amazing. I have a 2016 model for my wife. It's stock except for the train horn and an LED bar stuffed inside the lower opening of the front fascia. I would love to get my hands on an older model escalade like this one because the center console comes right out and I would put a manual transmission in there, lift it and play with it.
Nice My vote goes for the bad ass Tahoe
Badass 540 suburban and caddy❣
Bad ass video.... you guys are so cute, and hysterical... love you guys! Keep up the awesome videos... can't wait to get back out there and PARTY!
I saw that Escalade comin our of the rubicon when I was collecting fire wood. What a friggin rig man.
Nice to see that you can rock crawl a tahoe, I have an 01 LT model with a 6 inch lift and 35s. But I wanna go with a 9 inch lift and make it a baja truck.
Glad to see you guys around again! I was a big fan back in 2010 time frame lol

Thanks man!
How do these independent front Chevys handle on the road once you solid axle swap them?
Those headlights on the escalade are aftermarket??
What size tires are on that tahoe? 40?
What hood is on the Tahoe???
Super stampers are my favorite tires that and boggers
A little late here but I want to ask what does it do to the MPG's when you do this to the Tahoe and Escalade?
Anyone know of any shops that can put some 1 tons under my 05 escalade? Northern California area.
Grossly Underprepared! HAHAHA

Terrible planning
Can't hear much at all cause of the MUSIC
What's the setup on the white Chevy, lift , tires, and rims? Is that a 1500 or 2500. Thank you.
I'm surprised those long wheelbased trucks aren't hanging up all the time. I own an '08 Escalade ESV awd I want to upgrade for offroading . I've crawled the Rubicon in a Jeep CJ 7 and that trail gets really tight in some places where I wouldn't think a full size truck would make itthrough.
Does the Escalade still have the AWD or was it converted to 4WD?

OBS Tahoe hard AF
The look super capable crawling, my only concern with switching from IFS would be highway cruising at 80 mph. Would every little bump on the highway get transferred to the cab? Those heim joints while strong would transmit every little noise into the cabin. Which is fine for what it is, these are tradeoffs, I'm just looking for some tips on how to get the maximum gain in crawling and least loss of on highway comfort. For me to hit the trails in Utah I have to do a 1300 mile road trip before I reach the trail head, thats why I ask. Could I use an insulated join instead of heims? Could I use a lighter axle to improve on road handling?

With good shock tunning it'll be fine. I reccomend liberty mountain fabrication or action axle.
I can't get over that Escalade. Literally the escalade of my dreams. What engine is in it?
