This event always has some of the most cool & innovative rigs. Right off the bat I'd say my top three are the fan invite Willys Wagon cause' those are always sweet in any scene, the JK with the Gladiator clip as most unique, & the DeRange Rover for the ode to the Camel Trophy days. Awesome stuff fellas, so excited to watch an entertaining adventure!

These NEVER GET OLD! Been watching UA since 2006 and its the best! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

it was good to see Ian Johnson wheeling his rig , I miss seeing him on Extreme 4 x 4, the show just isn’t the same now.

Could you please put "Ultimate Adventure 2018" at the beginning of the title? It gets cut off in the menu and is easy to overlook

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE.

Awesome! I was hoping UA would come up here to good ol' Maine. Remember, when in doubt, throttle out!!

This would have been the time to have Interco as the tire sponsor. Falken makes a great rock tire, no so much in nasty mud.

I used to live in Maine, now I live I south west Tennessee. Don't miss the snow, but I always miss the scenery. I love the fall foliage in Maine.

so happy this is back

Awesome ride! Always enjoy the UA!

Seems like all these guys brought the wrong tires. Not NEARLY aggressive enough treads.

@Blackneck1994

draggonhedd that’s what happens when the sponsor provides rubber lol. These rigs would tackle the trails relatively drama-free with tires from Interco or Maxxis... Which I’m willing to bet is what they normally run like smart people ;)

The Caleb Downey it’s the same way with Top Truck Challenge when they hand out Baja Claws. It takes no time at all to look at a tire and have a pretty good idea of how they perform. The Falkens just have way too tight of a void ratio and not nearly aggressive enough sidewall. I’m sure it’s a great tire for people who want more traction for a daily driver truck that goes off road, but when it comes to purpose built rigs like these, I would put Interco rubber under them hands down. TSL SX IIs would be all around perfect for the kind of wheeling they do on these trips.

Do I sense bitterness at needing to go to a "park" to wheel instead of being able to pretty much head up any trail you come across without infuriating some uppity land owner? haha

Awesome that UA was made available outside of the MotorTrend empire.

i am so hyped for part 2 !!!!

Wheel spin and momentum are about the only way to wheel here on the east coast it seems, only select places don't require it up in the mountains, here in the piedmont good windshield wipers are just about as important as tires and power, lol

i go to rocky mountain terrain park every year and am close with the owner, that’s just amazing that you guys went there, also bummed i wasn’t there for it

wow this looks so fun!

So cool. U guys should do it in south america's rain forest ☺. All of those rigs.. would be amazing.

The trail leader dude from that park would make an awesome host!!!!!

I love watching western guys run eastern and south eastern trails.

Aw man! Maine here, can't believe I missed this.

You guys have the best videos

This is my home town we send it in maine it was awesome to c u guys here in my home town.

Great video thanks for sharing 👍

I live in Nova Scotia, no one belives us when we tell'em east coast trails are CRAZY!

Wow, how many of the 21 rigs WEREN'T diesel powered? Impressive fleet of rigs.

I'm really digging the trail leader wearing a Four Wheel To Heal tee shirt!

Looks like Maine is workin those west coast rigs , good times .

What engine and exhaust combos are in those green and blue wrangler tube buggies? They sound FANTASTIC!!

Seems like most of these guys had higher tire pressure then I thought would be sensible

FINALLY! A RANGE ROVER CLASSIC!

Anyone know which engine the classic bronco has?

I am glad they came here (I am in woods of maine too) this place broke the 4 wheeling spirit a long time ago.. after solid axle fronts went away and gas went up. I still keep a 4x4.. only to do 75mph in an ice storm. You have to be willing to break more than gain to have fun

wish we got some more footage of that 4runner, not enough people running toyotas for my liking

The local with Iroks is just having a chat and cruising through. Everyone else is just thrashing.

Those trails look like a typical street in Montreal

I know from experience that in New England wheeling

Vt and Nh are switched on your map.

Malaesta Kaiman tires shold do fine here...

you guys got the New Hampshire and Vermont backwards. lol

First in states video Ive seen that wasnt 50% XJ's.

Try maybe getting NH and VT labeled correctly :P

I live in Maine! :D

Im from Erie, PA. All I can say is they all have the wrong set of tires on their rigs.

we need Ultimate Adventure Alaska

Nice

That ford bronco is the dirtiest beast I’ve ever saw.

You guys swapped VT and NH. Fun fact they aren't the same state.

What's with them all running the same lame tires?

This is why I consider "off-road tires tested in MOAB" BS. This is how you test off-road tires.

Wheel speed is key

Finally now we need dirt every day

This is why I like to ride 2 wheels through that stuff instead of 4:) I want to save my Jeep so it can ride out West.lol

The wife at 10:10 is thinking “When we get home l’m divorcing this neckbeard”

I'd love to have a beer, with the owner!!!

Why would you have locking hubs and a select able locking diff on the same axle? Too much money? Show truck?

@trentmcgee6738

5 жыл бұрын

Neither. Locking hubs disconnect the front tires from the rest of the frontend; a locking differential sends power to both tires equally when engaged and doesn't allow slip between them. Two entirely separate pieces of equipment that do very different things.

Don't mean to call you out but @ 14 seconds... NH and VT are switched...

Hey Johnston, I was part of a 4WD club 75 miles north of Wilton . We had or trail system set up as Class 1, easy, dirt roads with seenic views. Class 2, mild modifications, minor challenges. Class 3, Major modifications, expect damage, high challenges. Evevry one had to sign off. It worked fairly well.

There would have been much less drama and carnage had they been running Interco, Maxxis, or even Pitbull rubber. Just sayin.

Definitely and it seems this trial did the opposite of selling the Falken Wildpeak M/T tire.

Your tube chassis, LS powered buggy with tons is not a Jeep.... Jesus

This was poor planning for the first trail of the day. It was clearly just a cutting in the woods and had not been wheeled on before. You can tell by the looks on most of the drivers faces that this wasnt a fun trail.

So you all show up to run a huge group through a fresh unproven trail at a place run by a dude who greets his guests shirtless with a beer. Smart.
