We’ll said! 💯

Also, we forget how much fun that journey was starting fresh. The joy of those beginning stages are priceless!

💯💯💯

@@SimonPhoenix313 Makes for good storytelling around a campfire.🤣

That’s forever the mood 😂

Really easy to get lost at points 😂 can’t wait for our chance to hit Moab! 🔥🚀

You can always look for the worn black rubber tracks on the granite areas, or also oil drips, or vehicle body pieces which got torn off some vehicles to know that you're sort of going in the correct direction. I was lost to start out, but waited for more vehicles who seemed to know where they were going.

I didn't 4WD Moab, but did go around Capitol Reef. It was mostly washboard dirt roads. Quite a disappointment. I'd like to go back to 4WD CanyonLands.

100% 😂😂😂

Patience is definitely key in this hobby…hopefully the rest of your weekend went well 👏🏻🔥

Agreed! Worth every second of struggle getting there 👏🏻

Glad you enjoyed! It’s only getting better 👏🏻

That’s what’s up 🔥🚀

Appreciate that 🔥

Loved watching you, Son!!❤️

The Jeep did Great!!

Sheeeesh that’s gonna be a challenge

I wish we could have saw that thing…I’ve heard the stories! 🔥

Yessir 🚀

Thanks frank as always! Can’t wait for ya to make your way out this way! Stay tuned more rubicon videos coming

@@66Duffman I know, looking forward to the next Rubicon videos! That's my # 1 most bucket 🪣 list trails , once I get my doubler and 37s, she'll make it , last weekend I was hitting some hard lines, unfortunately the gopro got nothing for 2 days of awesome spotterless wheeling , stupid gopro! The 35s were even doing great! Darn truck 🛻 is so tall and pumpkins so small and I actually have pretty much full skids , she was driving over everything! I finally after 20 rigs, finally put one together right! Light, nimble and flexy , I love my taco 🌮 and the main reason I built it is cause of your S.A.Swap videos, made me actually think I could do it myself 😆 cost me but so well worth it! Can't wait for the "2017 S.A.SWAP on 1 Tons and 40s" videos in your future, you know they're eventually going to happen, that would be the fukin shyt!

Fuck yeah 🔥🔥🔥🍻🍻🍻

@@66Duffman Gotta get a " Taco 🌮 Box " She'll be a total creep then 😆

Indeed 🚀

Absolutely! Thanks for watching 😎

Yessir 👏🏻

Thank you 🎥

That’s quite a story…you’re a brave man trying the rubicon in a Explorer! Kudos to you! Hope you get that Jeep soon looking forward to hearing you made it all the way thru the trail! How much you selling the explorer for?

@@66Duffman I think a fair price should be about $1,100. OBO. The engine was rebuit about 60,000 miles ago and doesn't leak or even seep oil, nor does it burn oil between 5,000 mile oil changes. Same for the transmission: no oil leaks and no functioning problems. I've completely flushed the transmission and torque convertor twice during the past 40,000 miles. The shift linkage cable is new because the plastic cable guide got cracked on the Rubicon. With the exception of the driver's seat showing wear, the other tan leather seats are undamaged. The one piece headliner is undamaged as is the dashboard. The 6 CD player works great. In preparing the Explorer for the Rubicon (what I thought was preparing), during the last year I installed a new radiator, water pump, thermostat, a/c compressor, receiver drier, expansion valve, and a winch. The winch I'm keeping for the Jeep I buy. The rear axle, I believe is the dana 44? The front brakes have new vented rotors, new calipers, and new brake pads. The rear brakes turned out not to be needing new rotors but new rotors go with the vehicle. The vehicle is actually safe to drive but needs the front alignment adjusted. It now drifts slightly left with hands off the steering wheel. None of the adjusters are damaged. The 4WD works great. Anyone can take this vehicle up a 45 degree nearby slope to try it out. The rear differential has a slight deceleration hum because I didn't set the proper thickness of pinion shims installed. After two tries to get it right I finally decided to leave it as it is. The front differential cover now drips a couple of drops of oil per day because the bottom of the cover is damaged by rock impacts: a lot of impacts. The frame in front of that cover is also dented in pretty good. To replace the cover may require loosening the attachment points (3 or 4 bolts) to have access to the cover bolts. I just don't care to put anymore time on this Explorer. I'll spend my time working on whatever Jeep I buy. I suppose that the kick panel damage can be covered up with rock sliders, and the side damage can be covered up with new plastic trim panels which were torn off. The fuel tank rock guard is badly dented, but it did it's job. It's only held in position with four bolts, but I'm not going to spend one thin dime more on this vehicle. This would make a great 4WD vehicle for anywhere but NOT on the Rubicon. It would make a really great vehicle for a school kid who likes to go off road, it simply looks like hell with the scratches now on the body and a couple of minor dents. The tires on it now are 265/70 R15. The OEM size was 235/70 R15. Lot's of tread left.

Glad you made it out. Next time dont try it solo. You saw how fast it can go south. Luckily that trail has traffic and a sheriff that patrols it. Everything you mentioned for your jeep sounds about right. I wish you the best. With a competent rig that is one of the funniest most beautiful trails around. Good luck on your next try. I cant wait to run it again. Stay safe and happy trails 👣. A good time to run it would be jeep jamboree. Lots of people to help you get through it.

@@adamshartley Thank you. If I can score on a used 12 Volt portable stick welder I'll carry one of those with me too. My aim is to be of service to others when I get back on the trail which will probably be next year. The speed in which I get a prepared rig depends on my finances. All spare income will be applied to assembling my "perfect" rig.😀

@@douglasrodrigues8361 im in gardena ca if there is anything i can do to help with the build just reach out. We are all a big family and most are willing to lend a hand. We always try to help people out on the trails. I am also adding a welder to my assortment of crap i carry! Especially after our rubicon run our buddys karnage welder saved the day multiple times for us. And if it wasnt for the kindness of a fellow off roader on the trail we would have had trouble getting one of our rigs out also. I hope that you got a better deal on that gas than you were offering. But i do understand all you wanted was to get off the trail and be home after that adventure. And it was probably worth any amount to you at the time. Lol maybe if you get your rig togethet next year you could join us for our Rubicon adventure. We are all ready to be back there. And like i said running it with a group like Dirtnation definitely makes it better. Team work makes the dream work! Stay safe and Happy trails 👣

Ayyyyy 🔥😂👏🏻

Yessir 🚀

Thanks for watching…definitely get some experience under your belt before trying a trail like this…a beater vehicle helps too
