We Broke All the Things at Merus Adventure Park Palo Duro Canyon

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Merus Adventure Park has some of the hardest trails I've run, located in Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle of Texas. We hosted our 2023 Patreon Fall Gathering there on a cold December weekend and had the best time! Not all of us made it out of the trails unscathed.

Y'all must have a lot of money to burn to be willing to trash your rigs like that. To each their own. Thanks for posting the amazing overlanding videos. I love them.

    Great video adventure. Was rooting for the LC's naturally. Even if the 100 driver was only playing around. The trail damage was painful to watch. But it's sometimes unavoidable. Building the rig to do such trails is of course the key. My 80 series would need some tire and armor upgrades but otherwise would would have no issue. My gf and I would absolutely have a blast hanging with you guys. Maybe someday soon. Best wishes to a new year and stay safe!
