@@dad_wagon1976 It's definitely something you should make the time for my friend. Pretty easy access, lots to see and do. Hope you get out there soon. Thanks for watching!

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 definitely will be making time. Looks like reasonably easy access with an off-grid relatively off road capable RV trailer too. Thanks for sharing!

That's one of the last parts of Oregon I need to visit. As I understand it one of the best parts as well

@@jeepncj7 yep I did the same thing, not an issue anymore. Thanks for watching.🤙🏼

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 - It's a great peice of kit. I have it paired with a 5LB bottle, so I'll be interested to see how long it lasts on medium. Also PNW so testing it fully on the cascades in a week.

@@RevN3 thanks!... I think 🤔

​@@blackpearlvoyager4174 hahahahahaha!!!

@@RevN3 yeah I was never impressed by the ammo can fire pits. I'm not sure why. And there are others who are just about as compact but more expensive. And this one you can use to start your campfire with 👍🏼

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 I look forward to seeing yours in action in October 😉

@@RevN3 but but... 20 bucks off! You'll have your own by then 😏. VOYAGER @checkout.

I'm glad it could help and I hope it doesn't discourage you from going down there. I will note however that the road has degraded some from the time of this video. We were just down there again last month and the road is even a bit rougher now. Thanks for watching!

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 oh good to know... Did you need to use low gearing (especially for the steep climb to get out of there) , or you just stayed on regular automatic gearing, like you would on a generic softroad ? I got an AWD suv with 8.5 - 9 inch clearance (kind of like a Subaru).Based on your observations, would you drive such car there ?

@@davidshechtman4746 Yes that sounds about right. It would be a right turn on cf300 Forest road towards the OHV area and keep going till you get to the end of the road if you have a capable vehicle. It's pretty obvious and hard to get lost. Have fun!

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 thanks

@@davec9244 Ha! No Starbucks for 100 miles. You're welcome 🤙🏼

@@xagentman yeah left, 100 miles north to Ontario 😆

@@RevN3 well you better start making plans cuz you probably only have a few hundred thousand years left 😆

😆👍🏼

You're right, LED replacement bulbs need to be aligned properly and I had to do the same thing with these. For the most part they're plug and Play but it doesn't end there. Loosen the collars and get them aligned properly and you've got a beautiful beam pattern. I'm glad you found something that worked thanks for watching. Cheers! 🤙🏼

@blackpearlvoyager4174 yes 100% need to be aligned or scatter light everywhere. I have same bulbs you have in my previous Ram and they were so bright.

Thanks for noticing! I already have a four-door Gladiator and they look funny until you build them up a little 😆 there's just no need for a four-door Bronco (unless you want to compete directly with the Wrangler). We like it a lot and it's appreciated by everyone who sees it. Cheers!🤙

Haha! That's my Wii Fit age 😆😆 I just turned 70 last month 😏 Still feeling great! 😁 Thanks for the compliment and for watching, I hope you got some useful information. Cheers 🤙🏼

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 oh really, Happy Belated Birthday! and thank you for the useful information, i just installed the same trackbar on my JL, unfortunately, i did not follow through with using 9/16 bolts, instead used the stock bolts and torqued it to 130lbs.. Most annoying part was the metal flakes from grinding the trackbar axle mount, it got all over me the place

Yeah I just had to stop and regroup a couple of times on the way up. Tough hike for someone my age 😆

Certainly worth seeing at least once 😆

I assume you've done the hike then? Yes it's tough but I think with better shoes and better prepared I may go back for some long exposure photography 👍🏼

That is actually a MetalCloak front track bar. They make some really good quality stuff at competitive prices. Really can't go wrong. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Oops, sorry, I should have read your comment more carefully 😬. I think you are correct about the track bar I replaced 👍🏼. Still don't know where it came from 🤔

Yes last year was a tough water year we run across many empty rivers and reservoirs on this trip. It's good to see that the reservoirs are coming back and I hope there's still something there in June when we go back. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 We're actually heading there this weekend.

Okay if you're coming from Green River going west on I-70 it's 2 mi past the 149 mile marker exit which would make it about 147 or so. It's not real obvious so keep a lookout 2 mi past exit 149 going West. Fun trail, thanks for watching 🤙🏼

The Falken Rubitreks are doing great. They have many miles of highway and many miles of tough trail off-road miles on them and are showing little signs of wear, no chunking at all, and we've taken a few good sidewall hits with no issues. They're good in the snow too so I will likely replace them one day with the same tire. Check out our recent San Rafael Swell videos to see how they did. Thanks for watching!

Yeah we could have stayed at that mine site another day if we'd had a little bit more time. And that rough spot was completely unexpected but we have full faith and confidence in the Jeep. Besides, we passed a Wrangler before we got to the top that had just come up that way. We were pretty sure we could make it 😎

I agree. I did just that! Lost 40lbs, got my A1C below 6 and upped my exercise routine. Feeling fine 😎

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 that's amazing good for you

Doing quite well, turning 70 tomorrow but I don't feel 70 which I guess is a good thing I've got my health and we're still active in overlanding so check out some of our other stuff. Thanks for asking!

You have a good eye! Spotting editing errors is not easy when you are not the one who spent 10 to 15 hours editing together a 30 minute video with video clips from three or four different cameras.😆 We noticed the cabin too and it makes a good photographic and video subject and we couldn't resist catching a glimpse of it on our way back up the hill after we left the next morning so that might explain some of the uphill video that you noticed. Anyway thanks for watching and noticing and please check out some of our other videos I am getting better at video editing with every new video that I post! Cheers!

Yeah I'm not ready for the van either. Still have too many inaccessible places to get to. In fact I've taken up fly fishing myself. Thanks for watching!

Haha as it turns out it was harder to keep the Jeep off the wall on the left than any danger of going off the cliff on the right 😆

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 yeah right. Haha. We are perched up for a bit doing some work in the outback again for a few months. So it gives us an opportunity to catch up on a few things. So we'll be tuning into a few of yours and Casey's videos.

Truly amazing. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Thanks for watching and commenting and yes it is an awesome rig and we are enjoying it greatly. Cheers!

Thanks, It's all in the editing 😎

The whole area is just unreal. It will blow you away. And we only saw a little part of it 😆

@@blackpearlvoyager4174 Fun little downhill section as well. Nothing the Jeep can't handle.

The uphill section had my heart rate up, the downhill was completely unexpected. Total surprise.

After 4 months it's actually sounding a little better, not louder, just better. No rusts or leaks that I can tell. It's good quality stainless steel material I think. As far as droning, I haven't noticed any natural droning tendencies. However, I do notice it under some certain circumstances like when I'm doing about 50 mph and 5th gear. Maybe pulling up a slight grade. It'll give you somewhat of a drone but as soon as you pick up the RPMs (take a gear down) or back off the pedal, the droning just goes away. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Thanks for your prompt reply! I really like your heritage BTW.

@@pepemagtoto711 😆😆 I have a restored 1965 Mustang that gets less attention! Cheers!

I did over 2 days, but on and off early afternoon and early the next day. Total time about 4 hours, maybe less if I had watched this video! If you get the lower rails right it goes pretty quickly. Just nuts and bolts. Easy really 👍🏼

You are so kind, thanks for watching!

Here's the route. Reverse if you coming from Leslie Gulch to the north. From snively hot springs along Owyhee lake road just go north until you get to the town of Owyhee or you can make a right hand turn on Overstreet Rd and get out to highway 201. Head south on 201 till you get to Succor Creek road and go south through Succor Creek Canyon and up the other side till you'll see the signs for Leslie Gulch. It's an incredible drive through Succor Creek canyon! Thanks for watching and have fun!

Well they were!😆😆

I suppose someone with some skill could fabricate some sort of locking bar that goes across the back window which would limit the size of anything you might be able to pull out of there but I found it unnecessary . Since the Gladiator tailgate locks and you really can't see anything in the back, even through the back window, there's nothing to entice a thief to take the chance of standing on the bumper and literally crawling inside to pull something out. Frankly, I think it would be easier to look into a car and break in if you see something and can be in and out in a few seconds. Most thieves won't take the time it takes to pull anything out of the back which would be limited to the size of the opening. 😆 Anyway, since this video I have added a second layer of protection, you might say, in the form of a swing out spare tire carrier. This adds even more time as you need to figure out the process of getting it opened, a combination of steps that the average thief wouldn't know. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@earlvoyager4174 Spare tire Might be a good idea! I had a wrangler in 97 (soft top) and I never left anything in it that I wasn't ready to let go. Nobody ever touched it. Different times now unfortunately. Thanks for your quick response! I'll watch more of your videos so I can ask a million more questions. ;)

I have to agree with you that the traction from the Kanati tires are exceptional and that's what I liked about the most. Unfortunately I could no longer get past the weak side walls and the balance issues. The Falken Rubitreks have proven to be just as capable and I won't be looking back 😆 Cheers!

We're still working on the 78 wagoneer. I had to completely replace the fuel system tank lines pump everything in order to get it to run reliably. The pickup tube it rotted away leaving about 5 gallons of unusable fuel in the tank and there was no float on the tank gauge😂 It was a mess. I've had some other higher priority projects in the works but I haven't forgotten about it and we will get it out on the road and there will be another video 🤙🏼 Thanks for asking!

You are correct my friend. There is no shortage of different styles and brands of track bars for the for the Jeeps. This was the best quality at a price under $190 that I was able to find. You can spend three, four or $500 on a track bar but that's just not me. Thanks for watching and commenting!
