Love those rigs. I own a TJ Rubicon, but my dream Jeep is an LJ Rubi like yours. And I can't say enough about that beauty of an EB. Great video! Thanks for taking us along on your journey over the Mojave Trail!
Having lived in the high desert for so many years this trail has always been on my list. For one reason or another though I've never been. Some day, some day..... I'm living in Kentucky now
You should have gone around on I-15 after leaving Baker and taken Rasor Ranch Rd back to the Mojave Road and completed the trip up through Afton Canyon. Afton is some of the most scenic part of the Road. By going back in on Rasor you only miss a little bit of the route across Soda Lake. We did the entire route on bicycles twice this winter but we go West to East. Second time in February we go half way across Soda Lake and it became too wet to cross. Went back and around to Baker and Kellbaker and got back on the MR. We did the trip in 3 days both times.
Thanks Barry. We had a great time on that trip. I'm just about to post two videos on our Death Valley trip. I hope you have a chance to watch them. Kec
You guys did a great job on this film. Quite entertaining. I see you have only 67 subscribers, the penalty for producing quality content in this modern world.
That’s very nice of you. Thank you for the nice comment. I did this video to memorialize our trip and to help others see how fun the trip is. Your comments make me think I achieved my goals.😃
Hey, nice video! Got a question, if you travel down the Mojave road like you guys did..... can you can't anywhere along the way as long as it's not private property? And can you do a camp fire? What are the rules and regulations?
Well done video. You were wise to avoid Soda Lake. Note that it is now on the NPS alert warning as impassable. Next time you can enter the road at Afton and then cross Soda Lake (when dry) and then on to Baker. Then you would have completed the journey.
Thanks, guys, that was the route we intended to take - before arriving in Las Vegas and being struck down with the flu for almost 4 days, never leaving the hotel - and ultimately driving back to Texas. flj
Bill, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I found a map of the bypass on the "Friends of the Mojave website. There are a couple of different maps floating around online. Kev
Thank you Kevin. As others have said, this is the best video. Keep up the great work Enjoy Off Roading and be safe. I will check out the place you told me.
In the narration, I explain that Bonnie (one of the Bronco's owners) decided that they shouldn't take it down that section, because of the Bronco's low ground clearance. I'm sure it would have made it, but it definitely would have drug, and it doesn't have any skid gear. If you've watched many Mojave Road videos, you might have noticed that this section of the road was in noticeably worse condition when we passed through, than in many other videos. That's due to the unusual amount of rain the area had just received in the days prior to our trip. Piece of cake for a short wheelbase, lifted vehicle (I.e. Jeep) but a real muffler-ripper-offer for a stock '66 Bronco.😃
I actually think a Chevy Impala could make it over 90% of the route, but there are a few places that increased ground clearance would be good to have. A lot depends on how much rain has fallen, and how recent it fell.
Oh well. Great video but it should be honestly titled "What we didn't see on the Mojave Road". Who in God's name told you'd it'd be in the 50's at night in the Mojave in January? And Afton Canyon would've also been flooded with all that rain that year.
My Proposition: Dig a long ditch like tunnel about a 500 feet wide from the Mojave Desert to the Pacific Ocean. There is no drought just lazyness. In the next 4 years this plan better have action and government funding in order to prevent famine in California Nevada and Arizona beyond. Sand or Fruit? that's your decision. #FLOODTHEDESERT #FLOODTHEDESERT #NODROUGHT #OCEANIA #ATLANTISREBORN
Hey Kevin... Great video! We have a writer who would like to interview you for a story she's writing on the Mojave Trail. Could you send me a private message w. your email or phone so we could set something up?
Great video, nicely narrated and well put together - not the usual youtube crap! Hope to visit soon myself. Cheers from Austria!
Very nice video. I can see you put a lot of work into it. I especially appreciate the maps which keep the viewer oriented.

Thanks for the nice comments cavediverjc! Kev
Best video I've seen yet about The Mohave Road. It's like a Rick Steve's Guide. Good work!
Great video with your commentary and thanks for taking us with you. This is definitely now on my "must travel" list.. Happy trails.
Great video! One of the best I have seen.
Great trail and great vid, nicely narrated, very informative. Ive enjoyed the mojave rd a few times, great trail.
Having lived in the high desert for so many years this trail has always been on my list. For one reason or another though I've never been. Some day, some day..... I'm living in Kentucky now
This was a great overview! Very informative.
I can’t wait to take this trail next year!
LOVE THAT BRONCO!!!🚙
LOL! Yeah, everyone loves Dave and Bonnie's Bronco!

Great video! Thanks for sharing, very helpful for those of us looking to make the trip.
Very nice video. I am looking forward to doing this journey in the near future.
wow...great informative video of your trip...
thanks for sharing....
Wonderful video fellas, thank you.
Thank you Joseph!
Well produced video, thanks for sharing. Have seen your posts on the rv forum. Nice to put a face to the posts.
Thanks Barry. We had a great time on that trip. I'm just about to post two videos on our Death Valley trip. I hope you have a chance to watch them.

Great video dude thanks!
Reminds me of a railroad documentary with the friendly narration voice.
Great video, I am doing the trip next week.👍

Awesome video!! Thank you!!
very cool video! Thanks for sharing.
Really great video!
Cool vid! I was on Kelbaker Road in November 2016.

Can the trail be done in two days one night?
How did you find the go around in the area that is washed out on the Mohave Road.
This was a excellent video. Thanks
Bill & Ellan
You don't need a road if you have a good Jeep and know how to drive it.
Bill, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I found a map of the bypass on the "Friends of the Mojave website. There are a couple of different maps floating around online. Kev
Thank you Kevin. As others have said, this is the best video. Keep up the great work
Enjoy Off Roading and be safe.
I will check out the place you told me.
how did the bronco do going down that steep section? You only filmed the jeep doing it.
Thanks Dimitri. I saw someone else do something like that on their video, and I thought it was pretty useful.
In the narration, I explain that Bonnie (one of the Bronco's owners) decided that they shouldn't take it down that section, because of the Bronco's low ground clearance. I'm sure it would have made it, but it definitely would have drug, and it doesn't have any skid gear.

Awesome video
Where can I find a map of this road? Or coordinates in Google maps
Thanks. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. It's really a fun trip.
Thank you!
At 9:10 there is a E. Clampus Vitus plaque. Satisfactory!!!!!!
Thank You! Well done!
Yeah, it can be done in two days, but you’ll miss out on a lot of things the trip is known for. It’s a fun trip when you have a few days to enjoy it.
Thank you Helmut!
Would a Subaru Cross Trek with 9" clearance make it ?. How about Honda CRV AWD ?.
I actually think a Chevy Impala could make it over 90% of the route, but there are a few places that increased ground clearance would be good to have. A lot depends on how much rain has fallen, and how recent it fell.
Thank you George. I appreciate the nice words
you guys used a garmin, how did you download the route?
ChadsterPro4x - Go to the website "trailsoffroad.com" and you can download a .gpx file for your devices.
@13:11 You'll know you've made it when you see the crow on top the stop sign.
cant wait wife and I going out april 6-8 2017
Hope to do it spring 2018
2019
nice vid
sweet!

Bitchin' Bronco :)
School bus is gone
Eric Does stuff, unfortunately yes, it is. I saw it in somebody’s yard in Joshua Tree right alongside the 62 hey back in October of 2018.
