You were a great line leader!

@@speedy58859 Thanks! I had a pretty swell group.

Thanks for coming along Braden! Thanks for taking the initiative to lead one of the groups!!!

@@speedy58859 it was awesome to interview about Mengel pass. High five dude!

@@JonDZ_Adventuring thank you for having me! I can’t wait for another adventure with you and all my new friends!

Glad you enjoyed it! Greeting from the USA! I love that you have the Suzuki Jimny in your country. From what I hear, it's one of the most popular vehicles in India. It's discontinued here in the USA.

It’s a good one!

Wat!!?? Surprised you haven’t done this trail! It’s really scenic! I’m sure you’ll enjoy!

Also the track at 16:33. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Carl!! I really like the track at 16:33!

I typically narrate more, but like you said, the scenery was so beautiful, I couldn’t bring myself to talk over the music and interrupt the vibe.

Enjoy! It does snow up at red pass sometimes, but 35 inch KO2s will handle it without issue 😃. There’s a really big upcoming storm, sounds like you’ll have an epic time.

You, Ed, Pek, and Bolo were the best trailmates. Hope you guys are all having a great holiday and see you on the trail again soon.

@@carloszeigler Basecamp crew! The whole trip was a blast with the crew. Have a great holiday season, Karl!

It was nice to finally meet you Vibol! Hopefully we can all get together again for the Mojave Road 2022

@@JonDZ_Adventuring You're the only person I'd drive 13hrs to meet in person. Just don't tell Kev or Allen. Haha. I was bummed to miss last year's Mojave trip. I've already got a trip down in the area for Mojave 2022 so I'm going work it into my trip.

It's always a good time getting out together! I'm looking forward to Mojave 2022, I had a good scouting trip.

@@JonDZ_Adventuring thats going to be a fun one

Thanks Cons! Was good to see you and Dindy!

it's a good trail! I highly recommend it. Afterwards, you can drive 25 miles North to the Ubehebe crater, and from there you can head west to visit the racetrack playa / Hunter Mountain or you can drive north to go to the Eureka Dunes. I don't recommend the racetrack, the road is harshly wash boarded and the racetrack was kinda lame :P. I hear hunter mountain is nice. The Eureka dunes is worth a visit, especially if you're a hiker.

Thanks Russell! We saw a group of around 5 full size rigs that started the trail just before the group led by the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Glad they got it sorted out, and that's very fortunate there was no damage! As mentioned in the video, it's good to have alot of friends to remedy a mishap like that. I'm looking to get an aluminum clamshell just like the one that came off, and when I eventually do, I'm going to make sure those screws are tight! Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.

Thanks Mick! Happy Holidays to you and the Wife as well! 🎄

Hope to see you at the Mojave road 2022 trip

There’s some venues out here where big groups can be easily managed, and this was one of them. Most of my other trips are in much smaller groups.

I'm in Oregon and I know of another person up here. We'll have to figure out a trip.

@@markfoster5365 Im always looking for an adventure with people that knows their ways I’m just trying to learn all this map etc and how to find spots I’m new but my Honda Element is ready for something like this she ls heavy but she still goes and hello from Tigard Oregon

@@pnw_element9822 Hey, I'm in Beaverton. Let's set something up for us PNW folks.

@@vibolbou5903 let’s go I’m down been trying to get something going here for a while besides a meet

It was hand held. I rested the gimbal on my side mirror because my arm was getting tired. I also pointed the gimbal into the turns of the canyon.

I’m from LA / Orange County, but the owner of AV overland is a buddy of mine. I stop by when I’m on my trips to the eastern sierras.

@@JonDZ_Adventuring nice! Yeah Chris is a great guy and his shop is pretty nice.

We drove up Imogene Pass from the Ouray side then down into Telluride. I think Black bear pass would be more of a test of line choice rather than vehicle capability. One mistake, and it can mean a roll over or death 💀, that’s why I chose not to do it 😇. I’ll eventually edit the videos for imogene pass, but you can check out channels: Nolo Designs, Honda Pilot Overland, and Borderline Explorer for videos of our trip. Also, the channel Colorado Mall Crawlers has an excellent trail walk through or black bear pass. They take a Cherokee Trailhawk down.

I’m not sure, but he visited 49 states in the USA on $2900 in gas. He will be taking a ferry to Hawaii to complete all 50 states then he plans to tour the world.

Mad respect. But it’s like a middle finger in their faces lol

I have a lifted Jeep XJ and have lead trips over the Rubicon trail, but if I'm on a road trip in my Prius, spot an interesting trail, and the 4wd trail guide says high clearance 4wd with expert driver, I just go anyway. They can actually crawl. If carefully driven they can go a lot of places. They sell lift kits and skid plates for them , enabling one to install larger tires. And besides, Titus Canyon is a very easy dirt road..

@@garyvanmeter4911 true, Titus canyon is easy, but I never knew that a prius could be made into a decent off roader!!

The 2022 4th Gen MDX is all new and has a very different suspension system. The 3rd Gen MDX shares the platform with the 2016+ pilot, 2017+ Ridgeline, 2019+ passport. The 1st/2nd Gen MDX are a little different. You can check out Traxda, HRG, and other companies for lift kits.

@@JonDZ_Adventuring Got a second gen mdx so when I seen the mdx crew there my eyes lit up. Would of liked to hear what they were running. I've checked the website and didn't see anything for mdxs been scouring the internet for anyone who's heavily modified one with you and your group of friends being the closest thing. I understand that it's no TRD pro or wrangler but I'm still surprised that I can find more people who've modded jettas and crvs then mdx s. Can't be that difficult you think? Thanks for the reply

@@muppetmorales8436 HRG has a 3 inch kit. www.hrgengineering.com/product-page/3-inch-76mm-ultimate-lift-kit-for-2007-2013-acura-mdx

November 4 to 7, 2021. We had a Pre-run group that went through Goler Wash and Mengel Pass, then we ended up here. We finish the trip at the Eureka dunes.

@@JonDZ_AdventuringI'm 100% sure we crossed path. We were there for those exact days too. We were in a silver and a white tacoma. The reason why I remember was because of that Prius lol.

@@tacofornia3726 AH HAH! Did you get stuck behind traffic on Titus Canyon? I think there were two tacos that rolled up behind us just minutes before the group strapped down the RTT. Or, perhaps you saw us at the Ubehebe Crater?

@@JonDZ_Adventuring we saw your crew roll through Ubehebe as we were leaving and I believe Ballarat prior to that. Are you guys from socal? We are from norcal.

@@tacofornia3726 most of us are from So Cal, but there were a few from Oregon, a handful from Nor Cal, and 1 guy from Utah. Next big trip will be the Mojave road on March 25 - 27. There will be an option to join in either Friday or Saturday, you're more than welcome to join us.
