- Saturday August 31st we took off up 7 mile trail and cut through a few others to our main objective, Bald Mountain Trail #517. Bald Mountain trail is located just south of Red Feather Lakes, Colorado and shoots you up to about 11,000 feet at the highest point.
That is of course where we decided to camp for the night, pour some pretty strong rum and cokes (which sneak up on you fast at 11,000 feet), and have an awesome night.
This was also the official maiden voyage of the "new to me" steven's m416 military trailer. Since getting that I have rebuilt the hubs, bought 5.5x5 to 5x5 wheel adapters to run JL takeoff wheels, and move the pintle to the lower of the 2 holes on the trailer.
as expected is followed me up bald mountain's rock crawl section with ease, not really bogging me down at all. I could feel it back there, but i got through the entire trail with no lockers etc.
This fall/winter i will have a hinged top made and get a roof top tent on it for next summer, plus i'm going to have some custom fenders made so the tires stop rubbing them on the bumps.
great overnight trip! hope there are a few more coming before the snow flies.

Thanks again for sharing Justin. I always enjoy your adventures and the scenery. I sure am missing my usual fall outage to Colorado and other western states...
Thanks for the ride. Love your Jeep!
Good video. Great scenery with the drone especially. Thanks
Beautiful area thanks for the awesome videos
Love your vids....campfire shenanigans would have been fun to see.😂
Once again a great video. That trailer footage was real good. Looked like it handled it good. Great drone footage as well, you choose some nice background music for the drone stuff. Thanks again for taking us along!
Marvelous,Thanks for the view. OMB
I wouldn't worry about forgetting to record the campfire. I love your trail video. Especially the back view showing the trailer. I would probably watch the entire trip, unedited if you uploaded it. We don't have many roads like that here in Western Oregon. Here, all the forest roads were built for 18 wheel log trucks. So if they aren't paved, at least they are very smooth.
Great video thank you!
Jeeps available in any color you want as long as it's red or orange.
i'm the odd duck here... cause this is "team red rubicon" haha!
Haha. Orange is just a different shade of red.
I really liked the forward view with the outside GoPro! Maybe you could do that more often and insert the interior video in a window in the corner. Thanks for taking us along!
sequenced video! we'll give that a shot some time. much harder to render out the video but the PC can handle it.
Another great video. You guys sure drive on some rough roads! I suppose you hear that all the time. The drone video was great. Miles and miles of miles and miles. Sure is pretty country out there!
Good to see ya back out on trail Justin
Down here in south Florida waiting on the hurricane but looking like we may dodge the bullet on this one at least south Florida but prayers 🙏🙏🙏going out those in it’s path... take and look forward to the next video 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Be safe down there
Put the RTT on before winter and go snow camping!!!! I don’t care to camp in the summer anymore, much more fun, clean, and secluded in the winter time!!!
i'm working on finding a welder to make my top (i mean a person who welds anyway).
I did mine without a lid. I raised my trailer sides with 18 gauge metal studs cut in half and then I welded in some crossbars flush to the top of my trailer and mounted the tent on top. I used a rubber gasket around the top to seal it to the trailer. Keeps my stuff dry and It cost me about $40 in material. Would be really easy to put a hinge and shocks on if you wanted to be able to lift the tent for access to the trailer bed.
That’s the fun with something like this....your options are endless!!
Great content as usual, liking the trailer, back when I had a YJ space was a premium. However I had moved up from a '81 CJ5 so it felt like an unlimited lol. I'm slowly but surely kiting out my '97 f150. Saving for a winch, its my only vehicle at the moment so nothing crazy. I do miss my Jeep though, I got stupid on a gravel road and went into the embankment, kicked the nose up after bending both front leaf packs, did a pirouette across the backside, I distinctly remember seeing cedar trees pointed the wrong direction in the headlights b4 slamming down on all 4 wheels. Bent the frame,front springs, driver side rear bumperette was flat, destroyed the hard top, but both side windows to the top was laying in the road with allot of my gear and tools. Yeah loads of fun, learned I can't drift a Wrangler for shit lol. Oh and as a public service announcement: WEAR your seatbelts, I went halfway out the 2 piece door,but the lap belt kept me inside. The top half of the door was bent out at over 45 degrees. Across the front of my pelvis was purple for a week or so
WOOT
Looks likeCamping out bald mountain with a telescope would be cool to check out stars
there was no moon either, you could see amazing milky way bands with just your eyes!
Dont think she will mind if there's a moon or not but she sure doesn't want to walk back to town,, giggle giggle
Wow at 11:17 that was a stunning shot
Quit horsing around and go rescue somebody already! 😉
lots of recoveries happening but too far for me to drive right now. hopefully something in noco pops up.
Sweet
Are you still doing rescue videos or just no rescues to do just wandering
Yes still involved in rescues but have been so busy... They are often 3-4 hour drives and I have not been able to with my work schedule.
i been watichng alot of your videos and i was wondering is this a groupo you all have
This group is all like-minded friends with jeeps. "It's your rig, wheel as hard or lite as you want." Nobody will ever put ya down for skipping an obstacle, or for trying!
I saw you guys having lunch on my way down (Tan FJ Cruiser)!
Hey we saw you drive by! We even said hey look an FJ! Haha
I guess a few people do like red Jeeps haha
Do you think a full size pickup would fit in there?
on seven Mile trail no problem. On the lower section of Bald mountain you would be fine but the upper gets pretty narrow and The Rock's get pretty big.
If it's Labor Day how come no one is working?
i'm going to mow my yard today if that counts haha!!
I wanted a Ruby, but wife said '18 Turbo Rzr instead.......I'm not cryin', but....... :-(
you can't drive the rzr to the trailhead... the jeep you can. but the rzr goes WAY faster offroad. man that's a tossup!
@@JustinKingOffroad BUT>>>BUT>>>>IT'S A RUBY!!!! why that woman will not see it my way, I have not a clue!!!! And I lied!!!! Sometimes I do cry!!! :-)
