Which Way To Go Now!?! Overland to Buggy

So Project Rats Nest XJ has been becoming an overlander but there is still a long ways to go for it to be capable of long term camping. So we fix some of the issues with new suspension parts from Skyjacker along with creating more valuable room inside of the Cherokee using Filthy Addictions Offroad bumper and Barnes 4wd molle panels for the windows to carry more supplies. Then we head south to the great wheeling area of Choke Cherry Canyon in Farmington, NM to test the skills of my old propane powered Suzuki Samurai.

Colt is one of the dudes you hope wins the lottery. I bet he’d help a stranger, no strings. He’d help a friend before he fixed his own stuff. This dude needs his own channel with sponsors and fans and big cool builds

Here's an idea. Get a youtube convoy of all the guys/gals that Colt has helped or worked with and do a vehicle shuffle. @trailmater @mischiefmake @morr @fabrats , etc, and help colt get moved. Rig haulers, covered trailers, the works. What a way to show him the love he gives to everyone.

Casey’s originally from down in that neck of the woods maybe he needs to do a return home with a couple of his big flatbeds, and help move the vehicles.

Coil is popping out under droop is why a lot of off-road vehicles use torsion bars. Spring retaining clubs or plates definitely help. Looks like Coleman paying attention to Desert racers.

I agree on getting and using the electric saw and other tools but having that back up axe when the saw quits will be a life saver. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Love the videos Colt glad to see rats nest getting some love

Yeah, I bought a Max-Ax setup after I had one as BII for a 1114 Up Armor Hummer back around 00-01 after I got back from Bosnia. I mounted it on the backseat of my XJ. Then moved to my Wrangler Unlimited now my JT. Not a good shovel but there when you need it, good ax though.

Yep still got the video Harold was driving a white and pink Scrambler super nice rig.

Instinct makes you want to climb too high on the left to avoid the loose drop off held together with chain link fencing that attempts to hood the rocks in place on the lower track. Good times!

I am so envious, I still love New Mexico, good for you! I have an XJ and I take a axe, a collapsible bow saw a hatchet and a folding saw. The first two are because I have been on trails with trees and debris that comes down during the day and blocks the way out. It is rare I need to use these but you could mount them on your molly contraption. The hatchet and folding saw I use for smaller jobs that are camp related like processing firewood for example. I have a small shovel and a back packing snow shovel that I interchange depending on the season.

The best way to deal with body roll is with an anti-swaybar system, however, Offroad swaybars, do the exact opposite of what you’re looking for. I’ve engineered some pretty sophisticated, anti-swaybar systems. Some of them even include an auto disconnect and/or travel limited actuation feature. If the shocks don’t solve the issue you might end up investigating that.

Hey Cole, I’m a full-time Overlander and as soon as I handle my parents estate, I’ll be back on the road full-time if you need any help transporting any of those vehicles or just an extra set of hands I got no other place to be once I leave here. Happy to help, I grew up a backyard mechanic in my dad’s automotive and race car fabrication shop so I got a couple of skills in the auto industry.

Reason for shovel and axe is that in some states you are required to have them along with a large fire extinguisher to be permitted to be on forest service roads and trails during fire season.

@robertr4193 3 ай бұрын

Looking good Colt. Hope you get your stuff moved to New Mexico as quickly as you can. As much moving as we did when I was growing up I know how much of a hassle it can be. As you said yourself with as much stuff as you have and as far of a move you are making it's not much fun. The more you could move at once the better. The use of a battery powered chain saw is nice but I think it's a good idea to have an axe or regular folding saw in case something happens to the battery powered option. You know Murphy's law right if something can go wrong it will at the worst possible time. Best of luck to you stay safe and healthy.

If you wanna get rid of it lemme know coz I need one. Also if you wanna wheel sometime lemme know. I'm an auto tech for 23 years but I'm new to 4x4 stuff and I'm also an excellent driver and up for a challenge without destroying my stuff😂
