Jeeping Up Miller Jeep Trail and Getting Blocked by a Broken Toyota Truck

This time on the AutoEdits Jeep adventure, I'll take you up one of my favorite local trails in Southern California... Miller Jeep Trail. I only have a 50% success rate on this trail but still highly recommend it. It's a moderately easy, maybe a 3 rating out of 10... and that's only one obstacle near the top.
The first time I failed on this trail, I took a wrong turn and got lost and broke my truck... here's that video:
• Off Road Adventure in ...
Then my friend and I had a great run in our Jeeps:
• TrekTop Twill Features...
After that, I had a successful redemption run in that Ram truck:
• Dodge Ram 1500 Conquer...
Followed by todays major fail!
What would you do if you came across a broken rig like this?
Here's the onXmap of this run that I recorded:

What is it with abandoned Toyotas? On my bike rides, I get them around the Kaena Point area on O'ahu. One year...I saw two of them and a Dodge...just...slowly...returning to the Earth... Weird. Still, your drive was enjoyable...and tasty, no doubt. Aloha!

Same here. Got a 2016 JK and did the 3.5 game changer with RockSports, Tom woods 1350’s front and back and the HD steering kit. Sadly my rig is always dealing with Gremlins these days and Metal cloak and Tom Woods have been anything but helpful in all interactions. But I love how you got your rig setup and doesn’t stop me from supporting you and the channel big guy. Thanks for getting the JK out there again. 🤙

I’ve loved your videos for a long time, Jason and I 0:02 totally agree with you about the JK. I bought mine new in 2016. I’ve babied her for her entire life. As I write this she has 20,788 miles on the clock… but now she’s paid off, I moved to Northern Nevada and I’m ready to accumulate a few scratches and dings on our endless off-road trails. Thanks for keeping me inspired all this time, Jason. You ROCK!

@eggdashure that's kinda why I'm an "a-hole", I would've gotten mad someone just left their crap in the trail and tried to drag the truck out of my way so I could pass and go around. I definitely understand thing break and things don't always go to plan on the trail but to just leave it? No note? C'mon! Ya know?

Great video! Yeah good call on turning around with no spotter. Plus the risk of bumping or moving someone elses ride and being liable for damage.

I didn't think risking the truck rolling on it's side was good for the trail or the owner of the truck... even if I'm not a fan of it being left in the middle of the trail. Plus, the bed was filled junk and that would've made an even bigger mess. As it was, I picked up a bunch of trash around this stupid thing that they left behind.

@@AutoEdits ultimately, you have the best info since you were there and saw it in person. The best we can do is to educate people not to block trails like this I guess.

i always try to get in front of any yotas when i go play with my jeep. i'd rather pull them out with my tow strap than winch them out... because its always some damn toyota getting stuck.

Why didn’t you move that truck with your winch?

Since I was alone, I didn't want to take the chance of the truck rolling back into my Jeep.

TJs are still the best. JKs are too heavy.

Two stranded vehicles on one trail. It wasn't a fail on your part and I would've done the same and not go around that Toyota. Sketchy.

Sometimes my age does bring a bit of wisdom... if I had a spotter I would have tried harder but solo trips have a different set of parameters. 👍

Should have used your winch to move that POS.

I prob would have winched that abandoned pile of junk out of the way.. people suck..going somewhere like that and not having the skills or tools to get you're rig out of the way and off the trail is not responsible 4 wheeling..

It was VERY tippy so I just left it since it would leave an even bigger mess on the trail.

Nothing worse than irresponsible A-holes Abandoning their vehicles. I wouldnt have risked it either, especially with no spotter. Do you carry a chainsaw or a machete with you? Maybe made it doable by clearing that brush on the left? I carry both now that Ive run into overgrowth and trees across the trail.

Yeah, honestly I was more bummed by how much trash was left all over the trail. I did use my folding shovel like a machete to "trim" back that bush quite a bit... but no I don't normally carry anything like that. Solid recommendation.
