Wild. I went up that in 2015 in a stock unlifted base model Xterra w/ no rear locker, no winch with my wife & daughters. That dirt on the passenger side was WAY higher and filled in. We'd have been screwed if it looked like that when we came through. Would have had to backed down and gone a different route.

Rocks and logs - the original traction boards!

Wonder if this trail even exist anymore after Helene?

I would hate to see this trail today.

Nice cornchucker

I’m in central NC and will be running the smoky mountain 500 in my 1975 Volvo ac303! Need to catch up with you guys some time. I hope to run my 48 CJ2a some time too. Are you guys in a group for off-roading?

that is a 4 at best , I grow up is NC , I had a 67 scout 800 on 31/10.50 and wheeled hard , I have done rhis trail in many things from my old scout to a honda CRV , nut I have been roads like that all my life But I like that you guy are out wheels your old rigs . can tell yall are not use to wheels around here but keep doing it you will get better ,

So glad we got to meet up with you today.

Great video. Love it.

Every time i watch videos of folks adventuring Alaska and Canada i cant help to be in awe with the beautiful scenery. As for that truck blowing smoke, I had something like that happened to me when the my turbo in my other car blew a seal and the coolant was mixing with the exhaust housing and was blowing thick white smoke. Looked very similar to what that truck was doing. I am enjoying yiur content 😎👍

I absolutely enjoyed every minute if this video. I love seeinf these vintage rigs still going at it. Love the "E brake" 😁👍 Thank for sharing your trip with these awesome rigs.

We use to come in from the other way but I had a 87 Subaru Brat came through there around 3inches of snow but I was going down now it's like a interstate you should have see it before they fix the road

They graded hurricane Creek so its nothing like it was in this video its super easy now.

You definitely did not all air down. So glad i have lockers, bigger tires, a more capable rig. Swear it looks like a nothing burger when i do this.

Ditch the mystery oil and just use Industrial vinegar you get at hardware stores for cleaning. There is a fellow that did an experiment on pistons and rings in a bucket of mystery oil and then he tried the vinegar and hands down the vinegar did a really nice job, but the trick that I used to do was use iodine, and I learned that from one of my old college, heavy duty mechanic teachers. I’ve never tried the vinegar yet, but I can tell you that the iodine works great, and I’ve never ever been able to find any information on others using iodine, but it works. Just go to any pharmacy and you could pick that stuff up. It helps if you put a little bit of heat to the cylinders with either a propane, torch, or a heat gun and then try bumping it over after it’s soaked for 24 hours. Just put a breaker bar on the crankshaft harmonic balancer pulley nut.

lol I watched that video forget how high she came up

Hmmm just started watching vid of this "road" going back a few years. It seems to me here, being Captain Obvious, that lots of people are leveling up the difficulty in terms erosion and its getting to the point of it just needing at the least some of those ruts properly filled. Maybe that's sacrilege, but this place is internet famous with all that entails. Better IMO to level DOWN the difficulty and infuse money into the local economy than get the road perma closed.

Ummmm I need more videos I keep looking for ones I might have missed I think you and the wife need to drive across America different direction 😂

Pretty impressive wheeling

Did you get your windows to work- I have a 67 800 and my windows are pretty bad

Great video I’d be dripping with sweat did you wipe before you filmed😂

Wow.. you guys have some great rigs. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for putting this up for us

Great series to watch hope to see more I didn’t see if you already had the Virginia house or why you left Alaska let me know if there’s a video explaining your move thanks

What motor is in it ?

I have a 152 and my pcv is attached in-between my intake and the rod cover

Love that scout I had a 70 same color and engine wish I didn’t sell now fixing up a 61 love the 800s though nice video

Love that green scout

Use your foot wedge n breaker bar

That last part is technical, I did it with a 2001 Mercedez ML320, did not need the traction boards nor a winch, in three wheels

Wow I just drove this trail May 4, 2024 solo in my 1998 Jeep TJ and had 0 issues 😉

Shew! I’m a pretty seasoned off-roader and you guys made me nervous. Glad you all made it through safe. That one obstacle is what keeps me from Hurricane Creek in my 09 JK!

We had some fun at that last hole as well. A solo ride after a night of rain. I would love to ride it again. Great Video.

Where did you find the roof rack for uour Scout?

That orange peaking trough is so cool

Awesome video I was smiling the whole time. I actually live near Jasper (Hinton Alberta) and yes way to many rules and regulations in the parks but outside of that you can random camp all over. I love how you are running that little 4 cylinder. Curious what it gets for mpg towing. There are some big long hills in the mountains plus you are at elevation so that doesn’t help with the power. I have a 3.3 Cummins turbo diesel for my Scout and it’s got a 4 speed with 4:27 gears. I was concerned about driving long distances in the Scout and how comfortable/loud it’d be but I guess that’s why stereo’s were invented lol

Everytime I need insperation to start my old 69 Scout project I come to your channel! A $700.00 a month payment on a new Bronco Sport or just fix up my old Scout is where I’m at. I love how your Scout is in a “run what ya brung” state and original not some 100 thousand dollar restoration. Hey does it have power steering? As for the rain/camping we get our fair share of rain here in Alberta Canada so we always put a tarp over the fire rain or shine. A clothes line between two tree works great then put a big tarp over that and tie the edges to the trees. It helps hold a bit of heat in and it can poor rain you’ll be nice and dry by the fire.

The old Scout did pretty darn good!

All I see there is an old Scout. Wait what? There were Jeeps there too? Lol Haha love your old Scout!

Dead sexy. That's more beautiful than any brand new sports car on the showroom floor

Great video, you guys did fine. Very cool to see those classics on the trails

Great video and good looking rigs.

Love old school. Glad y'all made it

Thanks for another great video! I'm, sure I don't need to point it out to you but there should be some rubber in that body mount point just above the piece of exhaust pipe with the dent, LOL. But seriously, replacing the body mounts is going to go along way to solve the doors staying open and the lock cam inside the latch not traveling far enough to roll into to the second latching point (and consequently the doors flinging open in turns, learned that the hard way.) Once the body is mounted firmly and the door opening flex is gone, you may get them to line up and close all the way without having to make any adjustments to the hinges and latch, (or in my case, be prepared to remove fenders, gas tanks, drilling out all the tapered screws and removing and rethreading all the backer plates behind the hinges and latches.)

Great Video Of Vintage Classic Four Wheel Vehicles. I own Jeeps, "J" Jeep Pickup, 1967 CJ6 Jeep Half Cab Fire Brush Truck That Came From N. Caroline At Sealed Bid Auction., Daily 2000 Jeep TJ, My First Pickup 1981 Toyota Hilux 4x4 Pickup, Set Up For Four Wheeling: Custom Bumpers, Winches Front & Back, Suspension, Etc. I Live In Virginia & Hope To Take That Trail One Day, Maybe 4 Wheel With Y'all. Back in the 80's when I was younger, four wheel more, Meet up with others. One had a Military M151 Mutt, I was amazed how it was designed. It went through every thing. He told me they were made by Ford & AMC, Used In Vietnam War. They were light and could drive though Flooded Rice Fields without getting stuck. Most where Destroyed By Military On Purpose as not to leave them for N. Vietnamese and cut in two by our Military prior to Military Auctions, Sold For Scrap. It's A Shame How Our Military Waste Money. M151 Mutt Vehicles were multi use. Center Of Wheel Rim has attachment to power Generators, Water Pumps, Etc. from Tractor Type Driveshaft PTO. Keep On Wheeling & God Speed Your Journeys. Sincerely, Mr. T.

Looks like a great time was had by all!

I like your content. The one thing I would recommend about the spotting effort where you transitioned from the 4 portion to the 5 portion is to have only one spotter. More than one and it gets hectic and confusing for the driver. Otherwise, well done!

Great idea thanks for sharing

Hurricane Creek is a road, not a trail. It’s not a one way road. If it was one way, there would be signs letting people know.

Good to see you back out there in Nugget!

Hurricane Creek Trail is such a great trail. I had a chance to do it about 8 months ago. You guys handled that ruff area about as well as possible. Definitely some hart racing moments there. Awesome that the Carolina Trail Rovers stopped to give you guys a hand and everyone made it through safe. enjoyed the video, new sub here.
