I gave up my Jeep for a Toyota Tacoma 4WD and OMG! my ownership experience is through the roof! No more design issues that are ignored by Jeep.Just a wonderful overlander that always runs!
All their models have issues and a Hollywood actor (Anton Yelchin) lost his life due to a defect in the E-shift system which resulted in the family filing a wrongful death lawsuit for $$$$$$ millions of dollars. The family settled out of court for a hefty undisclosed sum.
I get to live here in Colorado, in the mountains. So fortunate
I envy you!
Sorry that Colorado has gone Blue.
Stunning photos. I loved your choice of music. I found myself so engrossed with your whole video I was almost disappointed when I realized I was still in my living room. 😊
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Love it, so true!
Good job! Wonderful to experience my home state through the eyes of a newcomer! Over the years and as a Colorado campground book author, I have seen almost all Colorado has to offer, many times over. It is sometimes easy to forget how magnificent the Colorado Rockies are. Glad you enjoyed your time here and hope you return. There is so much more to explore . . . Happy Travels!
Thank you! 🙏
Same, I live in Southern CO and sometimes take it for granted.
Glad you were deciding to come to Colorado to visit the Rocky Mountains, it’s beautiful state and there so..much to see. Maybe when you can, visit Estes Park, Co. as well. My husband and grown son took a mini trip there back in 2018 or 2019, for 3 days and so..enjoyed it. We drove through the Rockies Mountain Nat’l Park, we loved it. Best like mini vacation we had. Enjoy your time here you and your dog.
@@sandradummer4726 Thank you!
Most folks don't know just how much most men need this type of retreat. Time alone. To do nothing but pet the dog.
It depends on the person. Women need ME time too...
Women need it too!
Lol My adult kids worry when I say I'm going for a drive.
Great video! Thank you for bringing us along.
Cheers and safe travels.
Thank you!
I bought a new 2016 T@G in 2015, had it on many trips, it’s great to sleep high and dry especially when it’s raining. It’s still like brand new and has been trouble free.
Very nice!
Great video sir. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed that hour and six minutes full feature video. Even car troubles become part of the story. Good luck with your future endeavors!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just awesome.
Thank you!
I watch a lot of TH-cam and found your channel very fresh. Great footage! Keep up the good work! Rock on!
Thank you!! Lots more in the works!
Great video, thanks for sharing, I've spent July in Colorado for the last three years, hoping to get back out there soon
Spent a week in Colorado
Moved there a year later 😂
Ever camped in the San Juan’s?
@@T25de spent a few weeks around Ouray, stayed in the Ridgway State Park, Ouray, Black Canyon
You have inspired me to plan a trip out there. Thank you
Go for it! You’ll love it!
02 sensor issues with Jeeps, seems to be a fairly common issue and I’m surprised none of those dealers had them on hand . I wonder if it might be a good idea to preemptively order a full set of sensors to always have on hand to whoop out at the dealership when they say yeh we don’t have any.
That’s a great idea!
I'm from Minnesota. Colorado is a beautiful place. I've been there several times. God bless you and your dog. ❤❤
Thank you!
Can't speak for jeep issues, but what I can tell you is I've owned several ford rangers, and never a minutes trouble out of any one of them. Glad you had a successful trip otherwise. Truely fortunate...I got to admit now I'm intrigued by teardrop camping.
Dude, we loved this video. We loved all the camera angles and the slowmo raccoon fall. We just got a 2022 Nucamp Tag and bring it home tomorrow. We look forward to watching more of your videos.
That is awesome! Congrats and thanks for tuning in!
An absolute great video.. keep up the good work..
Thank you!!
Enjoyed your video immensely as I have traveled on maintained highways through Colorado several times but never off road. So your trip was beautiful but scary at the same time. Thanks for taking me along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
GOOD HEAVENS WAS THIS A WONDERFUL VIDEO!!
Thank you!!!
I totally enjoyed your journey. Thanks for taking me along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed watching your trip this morning thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful video. I’ve been to Tin Cup pass but not Cinnamon Pass. Thkz for sharing.
Gosh, great thought in planning. Best videography, most best editing that I have no patience for. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together. I understand the magnitude! Awesome sir, say hi to juniper, well behaved companion!
Thank you very much!
Best video of have seen on YT!
Great job! Wow! So beautiful.
I live in Michigan .
Glad you enjoyed it!
I searched ‘teardrop camper’ and here I am. BUT I also like and have owned several jeeps since my first cj5 in 1982 (it was a ‘75 that I paid $1 thousand. Haha.) I started watching also because this guy looks to be from western pa or maybe around Youngstown, oh. Route 7 ‘n’ ‘at!!
I also love Colorado. Well done video! Subbed etc! 👴🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Very nicely done! Thank you for taking us on your adventure. May all your dreams come true.
Thanks so much!
Awesome journey! Really enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So sorry about the jeep, in Australia they have alot of problems as well so I will keep my Toyota troop carrier 2008 v8 still drives like new with 198,000 kilometres on the clock, but Toyota is not bullet proof either as I have experienced, good luck with your jeep my friend hope you have no more problems, I like your video it is relaxing to watch, the scenery is beautiful, will watch more of your videos cheers from rick 64 year's young 😅❤
Thank you!!!
Fantastic! This is exactly what I want to do someday - travel with my dog pulling a tear drop trailer with my Jeep. Thanks for creating this content.
Do it! Thanks for watching!
I drove to the top of the road on Mt Antero about 10 years ago in a stock Jeep JK unlimited rubicon. I also drove Tin Cup Pass. There is a great cabin at the top of the jeep road on Mt Princeton that open to the public. I had a great time. Good memories!
Very cool!
My advice, for what it’s worth. Know your vehicle inside out and carry some tools. Your troubles really start when you go to a dealership.
Good advise?
Good advise!
Dude! Great video. I'm looking to buy a Jeep Gladiator to pull a teardrop but am leery of all the problems the new Wranglers and Glads are having. The beginning of this vid confirmed my fears. Good job on pressing on.
Beautiful country! I love Colorado. Thanks for showing!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video! I was so sad to see it end. I want more videos just like this because if I'm too scared to do it myself I can live vicariously thru your videos! I've had a Jeep for four years and THIS is what I dreamed of when I bought it. Teardrop and all . . .WOW, such a great video . . . time to watch it again. And again . . . LOL
More to come!
so the BirdNET app on my phone said the bird sounds were wild turkeys... that was their wild guess and I guess it was wrong.. interesting sounds tho... nice vid.. and you held it together very well at the beginning...
Thank you!
Haha....dude, if you could of seen my face when you were going to drink from the dog bowl! If i could of seen my own face, i would definitely have laughed even harder!
🤣
The bird calls may have been magpies; saw a lot of them in eastern Colorado.
Definitely were magpies. :)
I have 2007 JW 4door… It has two problems that no one was able to fix it for me for the last 3 years… I keep paying thousands to every shop, but I am getting my Jeep back with the same two problems! It’s frustrating!
Sorry to hear that 🙁
Good for you !!! Glad you kept going. 👍🏻
Yes! Thank you!
Enjoyed your video. Lake City is a beautiful place. Last there in 2000 for a family reunion. Hope you checked out some stars being that high up.
Thanks! Yes, I love it out there. Can’t wait to go back!
😂When I retired at 62 I decided that I wanted to travel and see the West Coast from Texas to Montana and every state in between but I needed a vehicle that I understood and that if something were to go wrong I could fix so I chose a 1977 Dodge Mallard class C with a 360 v8 like you I headed out on my first journey and found all the things that weren't working and then over the next 4 years I've gone through what we affectionately call Lucy bumper to bumper everything that could go wrong has been upgraded or replaced every hose every electrical thing which there aren't many. I did upgrade it to a Edelbrock high performance intake manifold and a Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor to give Lucy some extra oomph.😮 I've got 800 amp hours of lithium and 800 watts of solar. And backups for my backup I have four separate power systems and can go totally off grid even run my air conditioner and every comfort of home.. I can't fit the stories in on our first two journeys when Angels showed up just at the right time when things went wrong and I think you'll find that to be true for you as well God is good he has Angels everywhere. Even ourselves ready to be angels for someone else angels are ministering spirits and if you have administering Spirit you will attract what you project. God bless you and your travel I hope you've solved your Jeep problem I am listening and I will follow along. I am so sorry to see how things went I am only where you are now looking at 10 days of waiting for parts that's just horrible..😢 at 5 0. 4 8 enter the story I have enjoyed your journey I would not have gone up that mountain pass in the snow..😮 but I'm wondering how do you film while driving? I mean I understand there must be a drone involved but how do you do that I thought this was like your first video you seem like you've been doing this forever and you're very good at it.
Great comment, thank you!!
@ 34:51: Worth the Drive and good luck on the rest of your Journey.
Most Excellent!
Many thanks!
awesome ride along thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video mate. I have a SquareDrop camper that i tow behind my 2012 diesel JKU that i go camping with here in Australia. I’ve done 190,000 kms in my Jeep and it does an awesome job.
Let me add a couple of issues that us Aussies have. First and foremost, Jeep dealerships here are useless and very expensive. Secondly, parts for Jeeps can be very difficult to get and very expensive, particularly for diesel variants. Fingers crossed my Jeep has been awesome so far.
Very cool!
Great video! I'm a CO native and always find someplace new to venture to here.
I always count the minutes until I can come back. I love it there!
Great adventure thanks for sharing it...
A wonderful adventure. Thank you god sharing
Thank you!
Love your vid. Love Colorado. Lived in Denver and Salida. Great state.
Great camera work, drone views are amazing. Was Juniper getting sick from the carbon monoxide entering the cabin of the jeep?
No she gets motion sickness. The carbon monoxide was actually getting into the trailer. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! You have some serious video talent. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Enjoyed.
Thanks!
After doing this trip with the teardrop and the jeep. Would you consider or recommend a lite truck camper and a side by side on a trailer for the exploring.
Every rig has its pros and cons. I think the setup I’m currently using gets me better gas mileage than a truck camper would, especially if I were pulling around a side by side. It’s also another machine to maintain, etc. but we’ll see. Adventure motorcycling is something I’ve been considering. Stay tuned!
How in the hell did the first dealership not realize that your head gasket was leaking oil onto your 0^2 sensor....
Not the head gasket. The valve cover gasket. But yes, still should’ve noticed.
I’m guessing you know why the jeep was in the lot I’m near 79 and lived in the high country for 20 years I miss it mucho mas
My Dakota ck engine kept coming on A computer change fixed the problem
I believe we called the birds whiskey jack
Probably should carry a code reader with you if it's a Stellantis product ...... you'll need it
Good idea
First and last Jeep.. I have a pretty new Jeep and the Cam Shaft Sensor already failed..I had to pay that because of the long wait at the dealer
Sorry to hear about your jeep. bummer. Mine has been good since this trip (knock on wood) I'm not ready to give up on her yet!
Great video!
Thanks!
CHRYSLER Jeep or whoever they are, are known for not having parts in stock or a supply chain to obtain them.
You know the 2021 jeeps was having problems obtaining those sensors from their suppliers. Their plant was shut down for three months because of it. That was during the pandemic.
I love my Jeep. Did Juniper not want to go in the Jeep and wanted to stay in the Tab because of the off-roading? Did that freak her out?
Great video. I'm glad you didn't give up with the issues with the Jeep. We're on a trip where everything was going wrong. Went to Alum State Park in Delaware Ohio to see the eclipse. It was magical and was worth all the problems. On our way now to Huntington Beach State Park in SC. Had another issue with the RV. Stuff happens. Only the end of the world is the end of the world.
Great comment! Juniper’s Jeep anxiety was caused by my running the Jeep through the carwash with her in it for the first time. I’m pretty sure it traumatized her. I should have mentioned that in the video, but I forgot to. Rest assured, it will never happen again. She actually enjoys the off-road more than highways. Thanks for watching and happy camping!
A software issue is something I’ll never have with my ‘67 VW…
Right on!
What brand and year is your trailer. How much did it cost?
2022 NuCamp Tag $24k
Magnificent
😁
Buy some yuppie stickered out Jeep and that’s what you get! I have had 3 Standard Jeeps and they all performed flawlessly over 200k miles. Forget the stickers Yupsters!
Jeeps are totally crap! Recalls are endless, I know of 8 people who had nothing but trouble with their jeeps and ended up trading them in! We have a 4 Runner, excellent vehicle to travel in!!
I get a lot of comments like this. I’m not quite ready to give up on my Jeep just yet!
Diggin' your tunes!
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
Great video!😊
Thanks! 😊
That's why I love my tacoma
Love the music I got a bronco
Randy will tie your boot , we don't want you tripping and hurting your self.
Good job.
Thanks!
Is the dremamine for your dogs anxiety on trips and does it work? My dog gets anxiety on our long trips. Thanks, and ignore the jeep haters ;)
Juniper gets car sick. The Dramamine helps her with nausea. Thanks for watching!
Mike, how do you get drone coverage of your moving vehicle?
I use intelligent flight modes (auto pilot) to automatically follow the jeep, at very low speeds.
I have a 2023 Boondock Tag that we have had almost a year but have only used Three times but I retired this year and I expect plenty of usage this summer. We are going to the Nucamp rally in Sugarcreek and are excited to learn a little more about drones and batteries and such. I did not know about auto pilot. I hope you continue to enjoy yours. Larry
Where the camper When you're driving?
If you wanted a problem free vehicle, you should never have bought a Jeep. I've had 4 of them, each had either brake problems or transmission problems.
I haven’t had any problems since this trip. 20k more miles. Not ready to give up on the jeep yet! Thanks for the comment.
When a road trip becomes an adventure…….Old Colorado saying……Enjoy
Was the Jeep made in Mexico ?
Don’t know.
welcome to chrysler products
Jeeps😮😢
LOL....I could told you....never buy a Chrysler....sorry my friend....give me a Ford or GM.. or any foreign vehicle . So far I love my Ford Ranger
Great video , great trip...thx
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've had 3 jeeps....NEVER AGAIN!! Love my 4runner!!!!
Not ready to give up on my jeep yet! Thanks for watching!
Just traded in my 2021 Wrangler. In the last 6 months it had dropped mpg from 20-21 mpg to 15.5- 16 mpg. Had some electrical issues come up too. At least I had equity in it as a down payment on a used F150 4x4. I love this truck.
@@IAmWoodyHaha, that is the mileage I get in my Jeep Gladiator(15-16 mpg). Work from home FTW, and it is worth every gas penny to drive it, more fun than I've ever had in any vehicle, including my previous Wrangler. Now if I had an hour commute it might give me pause. ;)
@@houstonartz4697 I get 15 on the backroads and city in the F150, but it is a truck and I am good with that. That Wrangler wouldn't pull my new jetski above 4th gear (manual), on flat interstate. I spoke with the dealership about upgrading my gearing with an option that was available with the JL model and they said sure, but it will void the warranty. With the truck, I have no problems. I know the Gladiator would have handled it too, but I wasn't willing to take a chance on the other issues. I must say that I really HATE the electronic assist clutch on the Wrangler. The engagement point was constantly changing and it is an unnecessary "enhancement" to the clutch function.
Jeeps have been junk for a long time!
I clicked on this video expecting a review of the Nucamp RV. Nope. But what I was treated to was WAY better. What a nice, cathartic, experience. Subscribed!
Thank you! I do have some actual reviews of the NuCamp Tag on my channel as well 😁
What I love about this video: it’s real! This is great for folks that are new to the Jeep world and “over landing”…
Another thing I like:
You took out a stock Jeep and a standard teardrop trailer. Nothing over the top, only stuff that many people can actually afford in the real world. With some “off road” trailers topping out at $130k+ it’s nice to see that you can still go out and live with much less. It brings it down to a realistic level.
I too am a musician (drummer) and have been all over the world, I’ve been on every inch of the roads you were traveling on, and it totally hit home! Thanks for the video!
Awesome!! 😎
Just so that you know .. me, my wife and 1st born son Derek , who is now 30 years old did exactly the same thing.. we drove out west and stayed in the Colorado Rockies ...near Colorado Springs ... we never went back east....only but a few times to visit family ..since then we have built our dream mountain home and live on 10 acres right behind Pikes Peak at 10,000 feet elevation.. Our journey started 31 years ago .. probably for the same reasons yours is starting now .. God Bless and enjoy your journey ..we absolutely love where we are and continue to thank the Lord for what he has provided ..
luv watching your journey ....
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
Thanks for documenting your journey, I really enjoyed it. The editing was well done, and the music really tied everything together so well. Your dog is a sweetheart.
Much Peace!
I am 72 and a lifelong long distance backpacker who is encountering health challenges. I'm investigating alternative ways to enjoy wild places and enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
I'm 68 an starting that journey of some health issues myself. I recently bought a 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness and I'm setting it up to do some camping. Some light trails will be my limit so nothing crazy. I hope it all works out for you as you start this new time.
I myself am an avid long-distance backpacker, I’ve recently purchased a teardrop trailer that is heavily modified to go deep in the back country I also have a modified jeep, and it’s all new to me and I love it because I can go deep in the wilderness set up a base camp And go hiking with my dog all day hard-core all day long hikes and come back and sleep like a baby in the camper and even have an outdoor shower with warm water cook a nice meal it’s awesome I try to go somewhere every month if not a couple times a month.
I'm 52 and started adventuring solo in my jeep last year. I can recommend - just do it, don't wait ❤
52 here and I still enjoy and am able to do long distance hiking, but I’m considering adding a camper back on my truck and start doing some trips that way as well. I already have the truck and won’t need the added expense of a trailer.
I grew up in Colorado Springs, lived life away, and ended up in Indiana for the last 3 decades. Your video took me home to some familiar spots, and some I've always wanted to see. Very enjoyable!
Awesome, thank you!
I love Juniper's beard. Good thing your Jeep acted up before you got on those crazy mountain keep trails. Beautiful scenery. Hope to travel with my dogs in my teardrop once I get it. It's on backorder for two years🫤
Two year backorder? What model teardrop?
Im a first time viewer and so far i am enjoying ur channel. It has mixed feelings for me. The last ten years or so i worked i had planned to end my days boondocking and traveling. I was researching what i wanted to travel in. A pickup for sure , shell on the back pulling a small camper. Well life went all to hell , got hurt , couldn't work , that was the worse part. Not being able to do what I wanted to . Ended up on disability, lost my five acres of land , the house i had build myself, everything, lost most of my 401k , the rest i had pulled out trying to save my place. Big mistake, throw away so much money to end up losing it anyway. Finally my old F150 give out on me. I was actually homeless for about eight months. Found this old mobil home. Now i sit and dream of what could have been. My credit score was 800 at one time, i swear thats the truth. Now i can't get anything on credit. I live two miles one way to the dr. That four miles round trip is pure hell sometimes. Don't even want to talk about getting to the grocery store. I will never have another car or truck. I can at least watch videos of people like yourself living your dream and i am really glad you are doing it. To late for me but watching videos like urs and other people give me a smile. Ty for some absolutely beautiful scenery. Stay safe and get home safe.
man, I hear you! I lost everything too while trying to get my disability going! They don't care the financial burden it puts on you. Peace
Where are you ??? I was a nurse 35 yrs. Now disabled at home washing my dogs !!!😅
@@kimruble477I went broke waiting for it too !!!
Outstanding video. You took it to a whole different level. The scenery, the mountain scraps, the color and the Reality of what could go wrong. This is a true adventure video and you did a fantastic job on it. Thank you. Oh.....nice drone work too.
Thank you!
THE TRIP UP THE TRAIL TO SNOW COVERED TRAIL. REMARKABLE!!!
The birds are magpies. One of the smartest birds you will encounter
Aren't they known as Camp robbers?
Those damn things get loud sometimes
Car problems are sooo frustrating but glad you have your furry companion. They are such a comfort. She is very sweet.
Thank you!
So glad to see you on the road. I started with an old Southwest RV. Now I'm a van gal. Expect all the problems. Remember all the amazing beauty. No regrets. Fellow nomad. 😊
😁
Introduce the DOG!
Well behave dog
He did at the beginning.
The dog’s name is Trooper
I live in Colorado and off-road my Jeep a lot in the back country. If you’re ever out here contact Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery. They’re a volunteer group with proper training and approval from law enforcement for doing off-road recoveries. I know a few of the people and they are all very well trained and do constant ongoing training and only use the best gear and proper techniques.
This video popped up in my recommended list and what a great one! This was simply epic! IDK your background or history with your Jeep but glad you pushed through all the adversity. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😁
