That silver jk looks awesome what size tires?
That sucks about your Jeep A/C. My lake house A/C is suffering right now 😩
What I like about you is that you are a Jeep guy that also has a Subaru. So I would love to see more Subaru stuff from you. BTW as others have stated the orange on the bumpers are covers for recovery points, the ones under the car are for strapping it down for shipping. You should use the recovery points as this is a unibody design and you can possibly bend the body if you use the hooks on the bottom, at least that is what Subaru says. I can't imagine why Subaru does not drop the turbo into the Crosstrek. I have a Outback Wilderness and that turbo makes it lightning fast, can't imagine how fast a Crosstrek would be considering how light it is vs the OBW
Good for you!!! Take a break...enjoy life. It goes by fast sir!
Always enjoy your videos but also totally understand the need to prioritize yourself and your family.
❤️❤️
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to future content.
did the rear axle have a locker
Not really sure tbh
Well offroaders like to say they are offroading but the trails all have names or numbers so the are or were a road at one time. I live in NJ which is the most densely populated state but we still have unpaved roads.
Boring video,
Ok. Thanks for stopping by.
Are there any dispersed camping sites along this trail?
I honestly don’t remember if there were or not. Sorry!
did you air down? It is hard to tell.
I aired down to 15
looks like maybe letting some air out would help your buddy, tires looked "normal" pressure but maybe its just the video.
yeah, he was on 35s with a 2" lift, aired down to about 18 or so. He did a great job taking the middle line, which isn't the easiest.
Yeah its easy on a crf230f and a crf 80
Nice ride man! I think this will be my next car for those trips to Baja California. Thanks for the review
Sure thing! We love it
Glad you finally got out there, love that trail, now imagine doing it in stock gladiators on 33s haha much more interesting. And I’m glad to see my buddy David finally getting his Gladiator out on the trail with his new suspension setup 👍👍
Yeah man, it was a fun trail for sure, and Im sure it was more of a challenge with the stock gladdys!
Glad you got to make it out. I will have some WKO rock sliders installed soon and be ready for more rocks…. I have also been eyeing a transmission skid plate from Dethloff Mfg that should work well on the Beast as well. I am not afraid of some pinstripes, do you think the Beast would fit down that trail? Looked fairly wide thru the main obstacles.
nice! Im sure it would.. but there are definitely some tight spots. Ive seen vids of other full size rigs heading through.
@@ADVENTURUSS Nice. May have to check it out…
Would a Subaru Outback do ok on Cathey's Creek Rd? Debating which vehicle to take.
definitely. Its a forest service road, so you should be good to go with the Subi.
@@ADVENTURUSS thanks! As always, really enjoy your videos.
Great job! Glad you finally made it up there!
Thanks man! Me too! I hope your trip was all you had hoped for!
@@ADVENTURUSS Dude, the Ozarks are great. 10/10!
Looks like we missed a fun and not so hard trail. I can't wait to get my new driveshaft in so that I can get out on the trails.
It was a fun trail, for sure. Maybe when you're Jeep is all fixed up, we'll go back.
Hell yeah dude! Glad you got to run it 🤘
Thanks man! Also, thanks for all the info in our IG convo! I definitely noticed that tree with the missing bark! haha.
Love me a good water crossing👏🏽
oh I know you do. haha.
Fantastic! Adding Coalmont to my list of places to go. Hope to wheel with you this year sometime Russ! See you at Riggs & Coffee. (Ranger Danger)
The trails there were definitely fun! You'll have a great time, Im sure!
Next time we can add the Red Beast Wagon to have fun with the Jeeps and the Toyotas. Still working on my camping gear setup so wasn’t quite ready for that trip. I did run Hurricane Creek with some folks from Venture Unknown FB group recently and had a blast... kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIKTyMmLj8rPp5s.html
nice! Im glad you ran it. Hopefully not too many pinstripes. :)
@@ADVENTURUSS A few more pinstripes. 😆
@@redbeastadventures excellent!
Good times, great to meet you Russ!
you too, good sir!
Great video! Definitely looks like a place to add to my to-do list.
yeah, man. It definitely was... and like I said in the vid... Trail 8 is where it's at. haha.
Man, that was a great day!! Russ is a real one folks!
awe, shucks man. Thanks! I had a great time with you Toyota folks!
Sweet waterfall
Yes it was pretty great! haha.
My turn signals quit in my 2011 JK so I replaced my multifunction switch like you did. Still not working, my google foo is weak and i'm not finding the next step. Any ideas ?
Sorry you’re having a difficult time figuring out the issue. I’m no expert, but I’d suspect a fuse or wiring/grounding issue if none of your turn signals are working.
Did you figure out your issue? Mine is doing same thing.
@@BlestFernmy battery was bad, I replaced battery and my turn signals work again ! I’m still gonna check all my grounds as I suspect a parasitic ground draw of power
Watching the replay because I forgot to tune in last night. Congratulations on the 2K
Thanks for watching, good sir! You were missed in the chat! Haha
Here for the replay 👋
Thank you for watching!!
Now that you’ve had the Subaru Crosstrek for 5+ months, how’s the fit and finish of the vehicle? Have you experienced any creaking or rattling, any misalignment with exterior and interior panel gaps? Any issues with your Subaru during your ownership experience?
all good thus far! Granted, my wife and I both work from home, so we haven't driven it as much as some might expect. Having said that, it has been on several longer rides, and a couple forest service roads, and so far, everything is good.
@@ADVENTURUSSgood to hear! I’m doing my research now, and will be in the market for one soon. Looking for a reliable, somewhat off road capable vehicle. I plan on doing some light overlanding adventures with it. I love that the roof rack can hold up to 700lbs static load, for a good rooftop tent!
for sure.... and the towing capacity shouldn't be sneezed at either - in case you opted for an off-road trailer setup.
@@ADVENTURUSSgood point. 3,500 lb towing capacity is pretty darn good. It’s like the Crosstrek Wilderness is the perfect little adventure vehicle!
Is that the Beasley Knob OHV Trails in Union County, GA? Looks like the Red Beast could fit down those trails. Only 2+ hours away. 😀
Yep, thats the one. There are some really challenging trails there for sure, but definitely a good time!
I did the same trick at that transfer station and feel like a big pig coming in at 7960 lbs with just me plus some basic gear (150 lbs). The beast is definitely big and heavy. Let’s see how it does offroad.
I knew it'd be super heavy. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't wheel it!
Is yellow gap road closed a lot?
I know its closed just after the horse camp when you enter at the Mills River Rec Area, but I think its only a small section of it in total. I haven't been out there in a bit, but I think you can still enter in from the West side as well. That section has been closed for quite a while, unfortunately.
😂😂 on the photo and description
I thought it was, at the very least, punny!
This is a comment to let you know that I like your thumbnail. Also, looking forward to your upcoming content!
Hahah. I couldn’t think of a good one, so I just made one. Haha. Thanks for watching and hopefully I’ll see you guys again soon!
Looking forward to watching the things you have coming!
Thanks for watching, man! Let’s hit up some SC trails again soon!
I just got back from the Matt's Offroad Games in Sand Hollow. It was fun, the weather was not fun. Hopefully, next year it will be in April or May so that we can have better weather. Looking forward to seeing you in April.
Right on man! I’m sure that was a good time!
@@ADVENTURUSS it was fun meeting all the KZread celebrities.
If i got off work in time i would be there bro
much appreciated! one of these days! haha.
Love the wilderness!!
Sorry for the response delay! Yeah, it took a minute for it to grow on me, but it’s definitely a fun little machine!
Great interview / great info! Sorry I missed it live.
All good, my dude! Thanks for watching!
Cool stuff!
Thank you, sir!!
Hello brothers
What road does the trail end on? Do you know if the trail is still open? Might hit this one first in a few weeks…
the answer to your question is... it depends. haha. The trail is still open, for now. There are several routes you can choose from. If you haven't ran it by the time you come to VooDoo, we can talk about it there. I'll show you some options on gaia.
@@ADVENTURUSS Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing you at Jeep Night.
Nice video. How much clearance is under that tree you crossed around 35 minutes into the video? My tallest part of my truck is around 86” (after upcoming suspension change). Would I fit? Looks like you ran the trail in around an hour or so on the video. Was that footage the entire trail?
Im not really sure, tbh. I did this video quite a while back, and I haven't ran Hurricane creek in quite a while. That tree might not even be there any more. Having said that, it was probably 10-12ft based on the fact that my jeep is on 40s, with a 4" lift and a roof rack, and I didn't slow down when I went under it. And yeah, thats the whole trail from 40 to Max Patch Road.
@@ADVENTURUSS Great. Thanks for the information. I plan on coming out to Jeep Night at Voodoo Brewing on 3/21.
@@redbeastadventures good deal! See ya there!
Moved to Kannapolis nc a few years ago with a new jl and am having a hard time finding trail in my area or a close drive
Closest thing to you would probably be the Uwharrie national forest, about an hour east of you. But, make sure to check out the foothills Jeep brigade on Facebook… they’re close to you and probably have a bunch of places that they can recommend to you!
Glad you got the lockers fixed! You have a busy schedule coming up. Looking forward to following
Thanks man, me too!! Yeah, schedule is packed, but hopefully fun times ahead! We shall see.
Might come out to see you at Jeep Night at Voodoo Brewing. I assume red beast wagons might be allowed on Jeep night. 😀
Of course you’re welcome! See ya there, maybe
@@ADVENTURUSS 👍
Lots of fun
