This is probably just because I’m a poor guy from Canada but I’d rather watch backyard built rigs on 35-38” tires go wheel than $150,000 rigs on tons and 40s.

Last time came this early I had to apologize.

As a samurai and tracker person, we'll most definitely need to have an in depth walk around of that rig

Thanks for making the effort to take us along!

Awesome video. Love seeing the Zuk in action. Would much rather watch rigs on 33-35's getting after it than super built rigs just walking everything! Especially a Samurai.

Loved this video Dave! Super cool seeing real trucks on trails. More content like this.

What a fun day, just enough wet to change things up. Thanks for sharing. That Samurai is awesome🥷. Loved seeing the Amigo too. And the Jeep just dominated. Be cool to see a walkaround of all three.

Awesome video Dave that was a fun day 🤙🏼

Best shake down trail in the San Diego area. Close to home and just hard enough to find any problems.

I have been going to Corral Canyon since the 90’s. Rigs, dirt bikes, even mountain bikes. (I’ve got some mid ‘00 footage on YT). Oddly enough, I’ve never driven Sidewinder in that direction. It’s always been in the reverse of what you’ve shown.

Looked way more fun than shopping

Cool video and awesome rigs. As a guy that has been wheeling the same TJ on 31/33/35s now for 23 years or is fun to see people use what they have and keep things relatively basic. The expansive blinged out stuff is cool, but a lot of us have tons of fun on backyard budget builds too. Cheers!

Finally a Dirt Head / Baja Jeep colab. I’ve been waiting

Love watching suspensions cycle on trail. Never gets old. This was a cool trail that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Thanks for filming it!

6’-3” 250-270 and owned three daily driven Samurai’s and one Tracker. Remember the Rock Lobster transfer case?!?!

Corral Canyon is my two wheel place, my dual sport group (San Diego Adventure Riders) has adopted a few trails there. Trail cleanup next weekend, always a lot of good people show up. Looks like you had a blast, glad to see you're back in the old neighborhood for a visit.

Dude!! Small wheelers are always fun to watch!!!✌️

I miss DED. One of my favorite shows on MT

We all need our DIRT thanks brother

Thanks for takin us along!

I did that trail in my ol 1st gen Taco when I was stationed at Pendleton it was a good time. First bit of off roading my wife had ever done. Looks like a yall had a great time. I know a lot of people talk smack about California but the state itself is beautiful and has so many trail systems.

"Heck you"...Hahaha! I'd watch walk arounds on any and all of those rigs!

I love that Amigo. I always wished they did more with that line.

Looked like a good time, my favorite style of rigs! Wheelers make the best filmers of wheeling, always know the right shots to get. My first car was a '93 5-speed Geo Tracker with absolutely no options - no radio, no AC, no 4WD, no nothing I rallied the hell outta it, got air with it, drifted it, did all the stuff that's exceedingly sketchy/dangerous/illegal in a Tracker and it never broke a sweat. I've wanted to get a 4WD Tracker ever since the day I sold that thing. Maybe an early '00s style build, that transition period when leaf springs begun fading and links started to catch on, and do a leaf sprung front(Toyota?) with linked rear(Explorer 8.8?). I always thought that was a cool & unique setup reading the ol' Peteresens 4 Wheel & Offroad growing up, a lot of those rigs seemed to work well.

What fun. Thanks for taking us along.

It looked more like east coast wheeling out there. It gets hard watching you guys climbing vertical walls while sometimes we struggle on a 12" ledge coming out of a muddy spot out here 😅

Funny that you mentioned having more fun in stock stuff. I'm looking to get an old flatfender on 7.00s to wheel with. I still love the DeD where you and Fred did the Rubicon.

These are fun rides, looks like a great time.

I remember the Amigo when it was silver. Rockin Pinyon bumpin dj jazzy Jeff, great times! Need your help again, this time long arming the new 4XE...

I love that Amigo you built Dave. I would love a turbo diesel version of the one you built. That thing is sick 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥

We were wheeling in Irvine Kentucky last weekend and I saw an amigo in a field......I think I'm going back to inquire lol

A nice trail. pretty place. That samurai did pretty good.

when you said stink water it reminded me of top truck challenge you'll get the stink on ya lmao

A Samurai was my first rig and what got me addicted to off-roading. The only rig i wish i still had.

your a good man picking up trash as u go. i try to too. even on my friends places.

Love the white Jeep

Great video glad you shared it with us

thats cool gotta try that trail in my stock yota! haha, back to 85'!

Beautiful bean footage!

So cool. Fun little trail

Good to see the Amigo again. One of my favorite rigs you have built. Saw one for sale the other day and thought of it.

This is a really cool trail!!

Samurais are really neat, especially once you build them.

Great video. Love this stuff.

I run my ‘91 Samurai on Toyota axles with 33” Mickey Thompson Baja Claws , and use the complete Trail Tough Jeep YJ springs kit with missing link shackles front & rear . With a 1600 -8 valve Tracker engine & 4:89 Gearset in the T-case from Petroworks it really works well . Currently down from an engine failure , but have another engine in the “ Wings “ and hopefully this upcoming year will be getting it back in action . Sidewinder was always a fun trail whenever our group went out in Corral canyon to play . Looked like fun . 😎👍

Looks like you guys had a great time. Love the real wheeling. Another great video Dave. Thanks.

I always enjoy the variety of content you put out, keep it up!

Those old gambler wheels on the samurai really takes me back to a simpler time. Cool to see a set still going 💪🏼

Looks like a fun trail.

Loved this video. Glad I got to see your old amigo in action.

Cool little rigs, I like those

Pfff I dunno why the Samurai is getting all the attention, I guess the owner is pretty cool though, so that checks out. Thanks for the invite guys, always good catchin' up

Looks like a great trail. I need to try it!

I want to see all thee rigs Dave has built in one video. I bet Dave has built and sold a ton of rigs.

Adventures with friends on Thanksgiving was always a thing to look forward to when I was younger! Love the content Dave as always! 👍🏻🇺🇸

Cool vid. Enjoy the time off and then back to work!

20 years ago I had a 1994 Amigo that I swapped a 5.0 ford into, put it on Scout 44s. Never finished it. Regret it to this day.

Luckily Sidewinder is still great fun. Bronco Peak is all crazy sorts of tore up, I haven't tried it in a year or two now, even on tons and 40s it's a lot to take in. Connector is also completely impassable without laying your rig on the side and winching up it.

Wild what those short wheel baise rig's will just crawl or hop over. 🤟😎 Without a ton of power ether.

Bleepin Colt is like 6'5" or something and rocks a Sammie buggy.

A trail that I've done but haven't seen a lot of press about it. Is Sherman's Jeep trail it's in the area of Lake Isabella. My family and some friends did it back in 1976 after I graduated from high school. We had my Late Dad's 1969 CJ-5 my Late Uncle's 68 CJ-5 a 1940's something Flatty and a 70's Land Cruiser.

I had a 92 amigo I built years ago on toy axles and 36 iroks , that thing seemed Togo just about anywhere

Thanksgiving on trails is always great. Broke my foot on a dirtbike riding on Thanksgiving once. Great memories..lol. fun video. Love the homebuilt custom stuff. Killer work on them.

The Amigo is pretty cool! Not just another Toyota or Jeep.

🦅🇺🇸💪😎👍 looks like you guys had a great day

That Suzuki almost looked like an RC car during that first run! Ha! Great rigs.

Sure was awesome to see you back at home in my neck of the woods. I saw your amigo a couple years ago at superstition. I’ve always loved the amigo.

The color Looks like the Carhartt Petrol a bluish grey. My Detroit jacket was petrol with black color and blanket lined

Good times man I’m still waiting for the hard body tho lol

You should definitely build a micro crawler... like a Suzuki LJ. Alot of rigs nowadays are just getting too big and some of the challenge is gone. Small and simple would be so much fun.

Love this

Awesomeness

Wow Dave, I had forgotten about the Amigos.

That looks like a ton of fun. I need to bring you my rodeo to sas, I've wanted to do it for years now but it's always on hold.

Nice!

Love your videos Dave! You and Fred should do a video together again though.

Loved this vid Dave and friends! 🤘That amigo is my fav I saw it on the side of the road in cali this summer when I was on my honeymoon road trip! The ol ford was having temp issues I’m guessing haha Cheers from Canada 🤘🇨🇦

Man, they skipped it. The hard spot with a challenge and the only that tries is the samari. I wanted to see the other two rigs climb is

Looked like a blast, excited to try and get my own project underway and get out on the trails one day! That samurai is rad and I cannot wait to see a walk around! The Amigo is also very rad and I believe you once said it was one of the first you got to take on UA? I love the small form factor builds a lot they are neat and pack a punch!

Last time i ran sidewinder i ended up on my side with you when you had the hilux still

You absolutely need to build another samurai!!! I'd love you to do another one like the blue lwb one you and Fred did on dirt everyday... please please PLEASE😎😎

Thanks Dave

Thanks for taking the time to video your Black Friday trip. The older I get, the harder it is to get time to just do stuff like that

Could you, pretty please, with sugar on top, do a video on that cantilever airbag 4 link. It seems like that is a great idea for budget guys because it doesn't require spring rate guessing for coils or coil overs

SAMURAI!!!

Wish you would go to Arizona and check out Sycamore creek off of Bush hwy and 87hwy

The samurai and jimny are really popular here, just sad they never put a motor in it.

Cool

Yep.

Okay broski

Coool

Ian, its obvious this will not have rear steering. Please consider that next time. Grind Hard is making history

Love your theme song!! Who is it by? Would love to hear the entire jam

Looks like a cool trail. I looked for it on On X Offroad but couldn't find it. Could you help me out on its where abouts? Tx

On the amigo build what did you do for a steering box? Im gathering stuff to solid axle swap a rodeo.

Don't be giving up anymore info on the sami/tracker life man. lol Hard enough to find parts and cars that are affordable as it is.

Is the Isuzu powered by a 3.2 Honda J series?

Are you from San Diego originally? Did you ever spend time in North county or fallbrook?

How did you get 6 lug on a 60?

Was the Sammy running on propane?
