My wife and I spent a night in the Jesmond tower one night during a lighting and snow storm. It was such a cool experience. That Blaze King kept us toasty warm all night.
Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno. All for one...one for all. That's what the offroad community shows, time and time again. Not only with friends, but with people who have problems…Appreciate it!👍👍
My goodness...I know this guys feeling. My brake lines BLEW OUT on my 2017 4runner while in the mountains. Had my family in the 4runner too. Pedal to the floor and barely any stopping power. Kinda lost my confidence in the 4runner because I take that thing out on some sketchy shelf roads on my own....and really remote. Glad you were able to help him down.
My lady and lil girls were in the truck. They hopped into the black pathfinder as soon as it happened and just me stayed in the truck for the way down.
So glad things ended well. I once had my brake pedal go to the floor at the start of a long decent out on the east coast, although not nearly as long or as steep, it was a bit tense. With the e-brake and 1st gear/low range I made it down...it's not for nothing they say don't wheel alone. It's funny, I'm not really a fan of heights, but at the top of my bucket list is to one day get out your way and maybe wheel with you guys for a day or two.
Glad you made it! If on a holiday in the Austrian Alps I sometimes think about my brakes. I always try to get the idea out of my head. It´s not good for concentration…. No problems so far….
11:30 Back in the day, that table had a large compass apparatus that would rotate and it had a sight on it, so the person in the tower could give accurate directions to the bird dog flying in to check out the smoke in the trees. They were very cool to look at. They used to leave them in the look out tower but you never see them these days. Have any of you older offroaders seen them? 11:52 Those old propane lights were pretty cool. I used to spend a fair bit of time in fishing lodges and on a cold fall day you could light the propane light and warm up the cabin. They also put off a smell that I liked. 16:42 This is why I have an ActionPacker bin in my Jeep with all the fluids I need to top up anything that might be leaking on the trail.
I've never had brakes fail offroad.. I can't imagine how scary that would be.. BUT in 2015 I was up at the Cell Tower above Hut Lake, and coming back down (solo trip), I blew out my drivers side CV knuckle (as in all the guts fell out). in my 98 Mazda 4x4 . That was the scariest thing to ever happen to me wheeling, thankfully I was able to limp it down, and back into North Vancouver to my buddies shop.
Never have had my brakes actually fail but have had the front rotors on my 04 Tundra warp from heavy use. The speed wobbles... you don't know it until you are doing 60+ and hit the brakes... Happened after a camping trip in the Sierras. I was carrying a 300Lb motorcycle on the receiver hitch. Old rotors that were in good shape when I left home.. I80 doing 60 mph when I hit the brakes.. scary stuff.
When off road, on a packed surfaced state or forestry road in remote areas it pays to have the recovery gear on board even some that one may not need or use and hope not to use but is there when needed. This video is a prime example of having the gear to get out and do it safely. One thing to have fun enjoying the adventure and scenery and spending time with friends and even family going to these outstanding remote places but to not have the gear when something goes wrong or worse as in this video is something to not make you go home safe even can take your life. Be prepared for anything. I don't have all the gear that you all do because I don't do this anymore because of health reasons but what I had was a peice of mind and knowing that whatever I got into i can get out of and make it home and remember the fun time and the scenery that was breath taking. Go have fun, adventure and main thing be safe. There is never a time of having too much but too little is too much when you get in a postion that can cause injuries or take life. I love to ride some places around where I live and being prepared is a asset not to forget or take for granted. I wanted to share this with you and anyone who enjoys adventure. This is just my rant about being safe while enjoy scenery that only one can be in it. I loved this video as I have all others. You take great work making this professional and well done with the skills you have. This is still the best channel out there. You guys are beyond great.
You are lucky up there to have a shop like Epic close by. It takes me a 3 plus hour drive to get to the nearest shop that I have found where they can do serious mods/upgrades (Toyota) and who stand 100% behind their work.
I’ve had my brakes go completely out while wheeling. I locked it in low and it was a manual trans so I used first gear only and made it outta trail then took my time driving the half hour home just using the trans and motor to slow me down and when I needed to stop I just cut the ignition switch off which would stop it decent.
My dad broke an exhaust valve rocker while in the hills. Had to take the good one off of the intake and put it on the exhaust to stop it pressuring. 7 cylinders is better than stuck😊. Busted a U-joint at the king pin too. Bolted what was left to the frame with a piece of metal he had and drove 3 wheels out of there. Sometimes, have to do what you got to do.
Mantle, least wise that’s what we call the fabric “thingy” for a gas lantern way down here in Aus. Nice to see a wee bit of maintenance stuff too 👍 kennym
I’m surprised they allow people inside. Every one I’ve ever visited has been locked up tight when no one is inside. Here in the states they’d be vandalized for sure.
Gorgeous scenery as always why it’s always good to have friends to travel with you just never no, awesome video guys congrats on the merch sales wish always the best for you family an friends as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can't believe how nice those towers are for being open to the public and not staffed. I just can't see something like that staying that nice in the states.
Hey Shaun, wondering what hood you have on the trail wrecker, and i would assume you are running 4.88 gears? Getting a 426 installed from AMW next month and trying to figure out what i need. Also what kind of mpg you getting? i figure around 13mpg I'm trying to stay on factory axles for now.. Thanks and love your content man! keep up the good work!
I had my pitman arm break once. Almost went down a 1000 foot no tree mountain. Hand steered it a for the rest of the way to a spot to get a flatbed. Almost went over the edge.
I wish you’d give some rig info on the peeps that tag along just so i can get an idea of how much rig you have to have to go in the trails you guys visit.
Just watched your vid. with your little girl again. You have been complaining about the STRESS with what you do. The negativity and all the haters. BUT YOU MISSED THE WHOLE POINT. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU STAY TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE, LIVE WITH HONOR and Integrity and ONLY worry about pleasing yourself, family, and your GOD. (if you believe). Everyone else can F%ck OFF! Once you get to this point your whole life will change and the weight will be lifted. I see your heart on your sleeve and that makes you a target for all the miserable, unhappy Jealous Hater people that are consuming our Daily life. My life has been a horrible tragic rough nightmare and until I figured this out it only got worse. Just some advise from a worn weathered old man. Your show is great and lets me live a little now that I can't do much any more. Thank You Shaun.
Pismo, Ca dunes took my left rear brake. Got pulled out, zip-tied my driver rear brake line that was chewed by the tire so it can stop leaking , and kept trucking along to get out on a 2011 Ram 1500 4x4 lol
I had a lifted Nissan Titan with the rear calipers and lines on the front of the rear axle. I lost the rear brakes 3 times in less than 6 months. Luckily, I carried a couple of needle nose vise grips to punch off the hoses. Crap design. Sold that POS first chance I had.
, love the vids, sorry im asking this here but if you happen to know cause i know youve gone to the usa alot but im having a shop in utah make me some sliders and i need somwhere in Washington that you can recommend to have them installed, its an easy bolt on pair of sliders, somwhere open on a weekend would be even better, thanks in advance either way.
I won't lie, kinda frustrating watching this, you know you need to replace your brakes but you go anyway. Fully knowing well that it will tax your brakes on the way down, let alone cutting the trip short for the whole crew. That kind of recklessness will get you killed.
The brakes on the xterra(mine) failed because the brake pad itself separated from its backing plate and spun around the rotor getting stuck in the Mudguard. This allowed the pistons in the caliper to overextend and blow the seals out, hence the fluid. The pads themselves were low but not at the wear markers yet. Plenty left for a dafe trip. I inspected them about 100k before this trip and had planned to replace them and rotors as regular maintenance when we got back but they had other plans.
I've noticed in alot of the TH-cam I watch that when you do oil changes in North America that you all use small I litre bottles. Seems like an expensive way to do an oil change.
Do those trucks have manual park brakes or electric park brakes? Brake failures are why I really hate modern and US parking brakes - I've had to stop from high speed using just gears and an old British pull up hand brake more than once, both times saving me from being killed outright from 60mph+ - I really wish modern cars had a manual fail safe. PS: From watching the likes of Matts Off Road Recovery - that shackle bolt may not be all that strong - could you rope around a chassis member or suspension swing arm if it happens again? They are less likely to break off if there's a sudden jerk?
Yes sir, also all around disk brakes is retarded, snow gets packed in them and your screwed. The manufacturers have lost their mind with some things for sure.

My wife and I think you are the best cinema photographer ever.
Drew Sims is really good at what he does but you are on another level.
I had a 03 Xterra. Got me into offroading. One of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned.
Looks like you're going to make that 300K mark. Congrats in advance!
Awesome drone footage as usual. Glad to hear your stuff is flying off the shelf! 😊Thanks Shaun.

BRO that's so embarrassing you had to get towed out by an XTerra
😂
Sure beats being towed by a Bronco.... 😊
Better than not making it home at all
nice! i have been wanting to hit Jesmond to see what it is like. Thank you for this!
Just love following along with your awesome adventures!
V8/+ owners : Fuel Economy? What's that?

Another awesome video! It's important to have at least someone around that knows what they're doing!
Awesome video as always TSTN. The fire tower was so awesome and the views were so spectacular.
Gorgeous place, well kept lookout. Good job staying low key about the brakes!
Love this channel and the videos! Where do you get your music from? It’s so epic!

From the very first line of “my brakes are failing” reminds me of my squeaky af brakes in my Equinox 😂😂 thanks Shaun for a fantastic video!
That last half mile is a little nerve racking, but worth the view.
Tell buddy at 3:00 if you hold the oil jug horizontal instead of vertical, it doesn’t Glug as much.
I lost both front & rear right bakes 3 days into a 5 day trip with lots of off camber and sketchy stuff .... not a good feeling
Gorgeous scenery as always why it’s always good to have friends to travel with you just never no, awesome video guys congrats on the merch sales wish always the best for you family an friends as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That is like the luxury mansion lookout Tower.
Family loves watching your adventures! Also great drone footage, you chose a awsome path in life !
glad everyone is safe . keep up the great videos stay say TSTN
Probly the sickest shot of someone coming out of an outhouse.
Losing brake lines is no joke! Glad he made it out safely
Using the 0w 20 oil in the 3.6 I always am about 1/2 qt low around 4500 mile mark. So I had switch up the oil to 5w 30.
Great video Shawn! Glad everyone made it down safely!

I know your channel isn’t about city driving, but I’d be almost as terrified traversing the Vancouver traffic with that brake situation.
Awesome video, as always! Did you get better gas milage being towed down the mountain? 😂
good ol' maple ridge C.T, said Hi to you there last year when you were there
We need an Epic- Adventure down here on the Gulf in AL.
What fenders do you run? Struggling to find ones that I like for my gladiator.
You never know what is going to happen. I'm glad it all worked out.
How do you guys avoid oil starvation? Baffled oil pan? Dry sump?
Break downs happen.. Thanks For the Ride !👍
Thank you for another great video
Best fire lookout yet!

@miked.1963 the xterra is 2" BL 33x10.5 tires. Billstein shocks, armor front rear and sliders. Apart from that not much else. It's mine.
Oh no Canadian wild fires are so out of control super happy these places exist!

Watching your videos every monday.. who is handling the drone? 🤨
Does the Nissan not use Lo range when descending? (I have Rubicon and don't use the brakes that much. Not familiar with the Nissans)
Love your videos. Where do you get your music from ?
Are the fire towers still used cause they look well maintained.
Safety 2nd 😂
Great video as always 😊
Especially if it's an automatic. Love manual.
Love the epic music.
Lol I blew a rad hose at that lookout and had to figure out how to get down.
With all that Performance... can it beat a v6 ford in a drag race??
You are a hero!
is that a real 426 hemi. What type of hP/torque
Way to handle a situation!
4LO 1ST GEAR NO BRAKES NEEDED PLUS THERE STILL SHOULDA BIN A E BRAKE RITE?

safety first always..👍
Thanks for the share 🕶🤙👍
Thank you so much
Who flies the drone when you are driving??
“Performance motor needs performance maintenance, which is why we’re doing an oil change” I run high quality oil in all my vehicles regardless 🤷🏼♂️😂
Does he not have 4LO? Can put my taco in 4LO and it just crawls down hills. Helps save your brakes
How do we get tstn vinyl window stickers
Why they went with an electric parking brake instead of a hand brake is baffling

Put some Lucas in it better than Pennzoil junk oil. Lol you should check yours more to cause of all the water your in all the time .
