Hello KZread! My name is Jason and I am a Overlander.
Its not all Taylor Swift music, Roof Top Tents, and Max Tracks! Its about getting out and exploring, camping with friends and meeting new ones along the way. It is more the journey along the way rather then the destination. Weather you are on a dirtbike, cargo van, new or old 4wd truck or car its about getting out and having fun, take notes on what went good and what needed improvement and try and try again until you find the balance!
I started this channel to document a few trips to the mountains to camp with my son. Something that my family did when i was a kid and still have great memories of our trips. While researching places to camp and cool things to see I fell on to a few "overlander" channels and it just clicked. Family, Friends, Campling, Modified Trucks/Cars, and the whole "survival" and beautiful remote places a equipped rig can take you.

The trans fluid you used do they make one for the 3.6?
That was pretty deep to go up and over the hood!
@@StartBuildingYourDreams yeah. 4 foot 3 inches
Nicely done.. 4L in our diesels is too tall for high speed indeed
I did 4.56 gears. Still! 🤣
the gate is illegal it a federal road and listed that way
@@Bob-pu7ps yep. This is quite an old video. I hear they won the court case?
Can you simply drill holes into that plastic vent and call it a day? Drilling holes into it would allow hot air to dissipate
@@jeeprubicon6650 yes. You can just drill or cut the bottom off those factory vents.
Mine wasn’t overheating yet but I went to run some water through the fins and dirt was rolling out. I bought some lime scale remover and diluted it some. Sprayed the fins while cold, let it sit a while then repeatedly rinsed but I was using a garden sprayer right up on the fins. What did you use to turn water towards the fins? Best I could get was about 45° from that garden sprayer but it was a super slow process to finally get the water coming out clear.
@@odysseyusa a.co/d/cABww8a this from Amazon. Hooks to the water hose and has that perfect angle for cleaning the fins. Somewhat therapeutic 🤣
I had you playing while I was working on my jeep and forgot what chill station I turned on!! lol Nice music to have in the background
@@kidt3068 it’s 50/50 some hate some like
When cutting a tree laying sideways…. Start the upper cut first, then finish with the under cut!!! No wedged blades anymore!!! lol
@@kidt3068 yeah a bit of a learning curve
Man that's wild. Hurricane was so much fun in my stock Grand Cherokee. I came through so many times and had to hop into the woods so the jeep crowds could go by. I'm sure it will be back soon though.
Why the music? Way too loud and totally unnecessary.
Yeah i stopped adding music unless its drone stuff.
why use the old gasket?
Like the diff cover gaskets they are reusable. Gone are the days of the paper / flimsy gaskets.
Did the Medano last week in our '02 4Runner (300k miles on her). Fun ride, pretty easy, had some rain along the trail, but still pretty easy. And very scenic! Nice video. Enjoyed the trip with you.
Thanks! Stay tuned we just got back from 3 weeks out west and did Medano pass first, but in reverse. Wife loved it. Out in a few weeks
Just FYI that bombing range is a 100% active site. They will close trails all around there when they're doing tests for explosives and aerial devices
I miss my Rx7s.. I was told that I needed to grow up so, there... 😐
i still am going to find one when i retire.
What rating would you give this trail?
@@thegiant573 5/10 if it was a jeep trail. Some off camber spots and some high clearance needed
Will a basic Tacoma make it?
yes! no problems now that it was graded!
Yeah Ive taken a stock Grand Cherokee up there for years.
What trail has that gate on it? Looks like it's been closed for awhile
@@MKAK47 that was a offshoot of hurricane creek. It was closed at the other side
@@WolfOverland maps call it haywood hurricane road if I have the right one, was closed a long time ago
3 years I lived in alabama and not once did anyone mention these trails. I’m now living in upstate New York planning a trip down to see it
well now you have to come back! Im constantly exploring new roads!
At 8:34 it did you really start it up dry? It looks like you started it up without ANY fluid??
@@Tunaslayer1 lol no.
Great visual comparison!
i could get more flex with some aftermarket control arms!
I recently added those same rock rails on my Gladiator. How do you like them? Do they take abuse well?
so far they have held up great!
We just got back from out west
any damage?
@WolfOverland our nerves were severely damaged. LOL We had a blow out in Albuquerque on the interstate. That was fun. 😁 We only road trails for one day and decided to come home. Will go back soon, when it's cooler.
That clown damaged the road instead of clearing the tree, i hate people. Great video though.
thanks!
Looked like a fun trail.
how difficult was the apex steering cooler to install with bumper on?
@@OverlandAddiction-qj1cn I did not take my bumper off. Just the bash plate. It made it easier.
When? I want to see that rig.
@@onlineretail3550 I’ll be in creede co Friday. Alpine loop that week. Then up to Montana
Nice video. Definitely need to check out DBBB sometime in the Red Beast. That rock ledge looks fairly narrow. If needed could you climb up the wall on the driver’s side and go up off camber?
@@redbeastadventures yes. Some 2500s have done it.
😂😂 gues camera flips the script😂 i see way wipers are facing lol either its rh drive or video tricks🤣🤣
lol when I use my cellphone it sometimes Flips the video. I’m going to work on that. I think there is a way in editing to re mirror that
@@WolfOverland 🤪🤪
i noticed snorkle on passenger side🤷 diesel is on drivers😂 or is it just video tricks
No that’s correct. Aev took about 2 years to release the diesel snorkel because the airbox is on the drivers side. The 3.6 is on the passenger side.
i never have any power ishues weeks at a time off road with this stand alone solar system , though in the future will prob add a redarc bcdc just to allow vehicle charging of 100 ah bat of i like maby encounter a week of no sun🤷 which as of now hasent happend and easily handles 3 days with no sun but you still get some charge on thoes days
i run 200 wt 10bb solar pannel on top of my hard shell roof top tent with a renogy 20a charge controller hooked to a 100ah agm all stand alone, my fridge runs 24/7 and i also run 4 20w led pod lights on rack along with 6 led strips in bed and 2 led coin lights all with no ishues🤙
iv got my fridge in back on top of my decked tool box with a tilt fridge slide i run a goosegear entire rear seat deleate with a dirty dog pet divider net for my 95lb rottwiler
its on my list😂😂😂
i just re geared to 4:56 on my diesel glad, iv got 50k mi on 3:73 with no pulling ishues🤷 pulls a 4500 lb camper pretty good, at 13 mpg loaded, and 18-20 empty, but since gear change at 70 rpm went from 1500 to 2100 and it shifts faster to 8th and milage back up to close to 24 25 mpg on 37s 🤙 kinda glad i did it
@@OverlandAddiction-qj1cn yep. My video soon will reflect the 24-25 mpg I get too
@@WolfOverland 🤣
@@WolfOverland i mainly wanted to wait until my warranty was close to going out it goes out next yr
@@OverlandAddiction-qj1cn yep. Just did the regear. Delete soon on the diesel
@@WolfOverland ya me to kinda geting things in line for when warranty is totally out iv done several egr tube cleanings on penzoil their was always alot to clean out, but since i went to quaker state euro 5/40 last 2 inspections were clean! and i started running power kleen every couple tanks and inside intake manifold was alot cleaner
Where is this located?
@@huntermoudy6564 Tennessee right outside of Knoxville
I had one installed about a month ago on my 2022 Diesel Overland Overland & love it.
We must PRAY 🙏 For MR TRUMP. AND For HIS FAMILY, AND ALSO WE MUST PRAY For THE PERSON THAT was killed AT The RALLY And THEIR FAMILY.
Pray for Trump and him family. Please like and subscribe as this will definitely demonetize my channel but America first!! 🇺🇸
Can you link the map?
@@alanalan4150 it’s the goat trail and hurricane creek trail and fines creek mine trail on on-x app or trails offroad
Did you use loctite on the bolts?
@@antoniohernandez7171 no
Great video. That is one heck of a drive back to do all at one time.
Yes it was!
This is a road to locals homes and too many people come through here and tear it up. I hope they continue to grade the road. Sorry about your luck.
@@PuddlepirateZ144 I hope so too! It’s such a pretty road! The more they grade it the more it stays open so we all can enjoy and more people can get back there to enjoy it!
The homes are pretty quick into the trail. Most of it is beyond houses.
There were no houses around the technical parts. They are all at the bottom of the trail.
You should have gone into greene county,tn and drove on horse creek. It probably has not been graded yet. It runs off of the greenevill/ tusculum hwy up to Viking mountain. They graded the access road that runs 10 miles from hwy 107 in Erwin up to beauty spot. I drove on it last Easter Sunday. You could have also gone up onto rich mountain located above hot springs ,nc and driven on hurricane gap logging road.
@@harolddenton6031 I’ve done rich mountain also known as shad road. Horse creek I should look up. Thanks 😊
Jeeps had torn up the trail with their huge 35" tires.
@@harolddenton6031 35s was huge 7 years ago. Now 40-42 is huge. 37-38 is the normal. But honestly I think it’s the traffic since covid
The fact that a road whose purpose is to provide ingress and egress to those property owners who own property on the road was graded is a non-issue, or should be, the fact that anyone would be opposed to that is disheartening. As an avid off road enthusiast for over 50 years I've seen far too many closures due to increased upkeep due to overuse.
They need one of those barcodes you can scan and donate to!
Re-gear is the best!
My pro's and con's (trying to be positive here). Cons- they damaged trees while leveling the trail? Not what one would expect from the state. Cons- not super challenging any more but also likely more slick when soaking wet especially since all the dirt is above the rocks. Cons - possible that non responsible individuals with only two wheel drive vehicles might go out there on weekend nights and pollute the campsites with cans, trash, condoms, and more and ruin it for the rest of us. PROS - leveling out the trail pushed dirt back to the edges and will make it a little safer and likely give us a little more footprint for the run off to make new challenges. PROS- It's still a great little trail for the colors in the fall especially if you time it just right. PROS- as you stated, better level than closed.
@@JEEP-N-DIRT that was another thing some of us brought up. Now the riff raff has access to it. Here come the drug needles, trash and broken cars.
I always wondered when I watched Hurricane Creek videos of that trail/road was part of mostly used for residents in the area and as a fire road. I wonder if the county or the residents had the road graded. Either or, I look forward to drive the trail someday. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@itsaboutfam there are some nice weekend cabins up there. Every now and then I see a truck or jeep parked there. Last year there was a fire and the road was closed so fire service can do a fire break.
@@WolfOverland That makes sense to maintaining the trail. I know some may not like that the trail was grated but it's better than it being completely closed. I saw another video recently that looks like some folks that ran that trail were doing things that would ruin it for others.
