- Remember to watch in 4k even on a 1080p screen to stop TH-cam destroying the quality of the GoPro footage.
Hi Guys and apparently 2.3% girls according to TH-cam, sorry about the reupload confusing everyone, I had to make a change to it.
I hope you enjoyed the video, I had a lot of fun in the edit messing around (sorry about the singing).
As I mentioned in the outro, these videos can only happen at faster than glacier speed with your support. So if you'd like to see more videos and have them delivered faster, you can:

Or if you're skint, liking this video and making sure you're subscribed does A LOT too.
Oh and to answer a very frequent question: if you'd like to get a mini jeep for yourself, the one I'm driving is a genuine patented Coolster gk-6125a coolster.com/vehicles/gk-6125a/ Any others are copies and often don't even have suspension, or are rear engined so they don't turn corners 😬
Right, I've got to go do something with the mini jeep now, it's a secret, but you'll love seeing it. It's beyond stupid.
Cheers
Ed
Can we all give a round of applause to those tires!? Things took some abuse, along with his spine!
Ikr i was thinking to myself how well the tires took all of this, the chain guard snapped off before the tires even became an issue
These tires are make to abusing
yea I thought they would be destroyed in like 40 km
If you go to @28.33 the captions think its making an applause sound , so close enough haha.
Amazing
if you're still wondering: the fuel line popped off because your gas canister doesn't have a pressure release valve.
you filled it up late evening, when the air was cool. and on the morning when the air started to get warm, the pressure in the canister rose with the temperature. it propably got some sun as well on it, which just doubles the pressure because the fule and gasses were heating up. and pop went the hose.
“… and no hose clamp securing the hose to the petcock…”
Science bitch!
Yup, this is why motorcycles sometimes make a high pitched whining sound, releasing pressure from the fuel tank.
exactly, the heat done him well :D
Dang I thought it must have been a ghost of like a disgruntled horse
And every skinwalker along that long stretch just stood there in silence, nodding in respect for this great project
And then pulled his fuel line.
Glad people are being nice to you in the states! For all our problems it's why I love being an American, nothing beats a friendly face in every city.
right? i've driven across country dozens of times and nothing beats small town America. Nicest people you'll ever meet.
Do you know if they’re nice to people of different races? I want to do something like this but I’m scared I might not be as welcome.
99.999% of humans all over the world are friendly. I've yet to have a bad experience anywhere 🙂
@@c90adventures that time in Venezuela where everyone kept tying ropes across the road to make it their own little toll-way didn’t count as a little iffy? I know it had to be annoying but I couldn’t help but lmao 🤣 those kids were certainly creative!
Me too im so glad he had a nice experience here which gladly he didnt see the bad that goes on here with everyones obsession with everything being racist, offensive and wanting to fight I'm glad he didn't run into anyone wanting to fight him for filming with his camera since we're scared of cameras here but you're right small town people are always so amazing they're more down to earth and don't bother to get involved with most of the things that the bigger towns here keep up with like judging by how much money someone has etc
Wow, you actually got me to watch 30 minutes of you driving through the middle of nowhere without being bored! You sir deserve my sub
Same lol
Same his sense of humor is on point which helps
All damn day Now I'm looking for a damn mini jeep to do another journey like this legend
Same
My thought exactly!
"Being a guy the ground clearance is...10 inches..." Oh, Ed, you never fail to make the funniest and best videos.
its English humor.....
i can assure you,thats not english humor lol
@@kwaaakity no, it's English dick measurement
⁷
@@hdj81Vlimited Thats Man humour, and it was damn funny!
Awesome stuff. You make me smile and laugh out loud lots! So thats worth at least a couple of diners. Greetings from the Netherlands.
why does this have no replies you are a very nice guy
Keep him moving. First time seeing his videos for me. Fun stuff.
your a nice guy
jesus christ that's a ton of money
I don't know why TH-cam decided to recommend me a video of a guy driving a mini jeep named Willy in the middle of nowhere, but I liked every bit of it.
Haven’t been this hyped on a video in a while… can’t wait to see the sufferfest
So excited too! I got such a huge smile when you popped up!!
Yeah it's bad. I think my kidneys are still rattling now.
@@c90adventures When did the accident happen Ed?
@@c90adventures I'm quite surprised the broken vertebra counter isn't higher at this point
@@c90adventures Would one of those kidney belts help for future adventures of this nature?
The patience to do it all at 25mph or less is admirable
mans been around the world on a 90cc bike, I think he's learned the art of patience
Ya too bad the race motor didn't work out a pace of 50mph would've been half the time
@@MotoAlias foreal! That bummed me out aswell. I wonder if he didn't tune things right or the seller knowingly sold him a clapped out engine w/ clutch/trans issues. Either way dude is a badass!
How else are you going to slow down and see the world at the same time 🤣
He spent a whole work week doing this. And that would be if everything went well lol
“So being a guy, this thing is about…. 10 inches!” I fucking cackled at this. Haha cheers mate, thanks for the footage.
I did a 78km off-road trip in the mountains on my 4-seater Kawasaki Teryx side by side last week. It got me thinking about doing a multi-day trip. There's something so appealing about being in a small open air vehicle in the middle of nowhere.
This whole thing is insane: the plan, the jokes, the little song and the fact that you barely had water, fuel or electricity! I loved it! Don’t stop! You’re living the dream of many of us. Go places, be in danger, overcome the danger, survive, talk about it! Just brilliant!
Sorry about this mate, worlds straightest road is def Italy in Australia. There’s one that goes from one side of the country to the other.
@@samyeomans6710 wtf does that got to do with his comment
The thing was that he was tired of travelling on the c90 because he has seen everything
I reckon he'll stop once his back starts to ache. 🤣
@@KermitOfWar I sat on a milk crate for about 400 miles on gravel roads and I could barely get up the next day. Not sure how he's able to even stand up after 1000miles of this.
Between part 1 and part two I found the channel and went with him on an emotional journey to nearly all 4 corners of the Americas.
Snap.. saw the 1st mini jeep video and then watched his back catalogue... Blessing in disguise really as some of the gaps in vid releases must of been panful if you were following live :)
Are you me? Interesting a silly Jeep video brought me to all the rest, this dude is awesome.
@@Coooogz it is painful, and that's why we love him :)
@@roryasrorri701 For sure.. always worth the wait :)
Give an Englishman a mini jeep and he`ll do something stupid with it! Well done sir!
It's always important to have some heavy-duty zip ties or at least a roll of some kind of wire. And duct tape don't forget the duck tape
Every step you took, every corrugated road and raw ride you faced was absolutely amazing. I would give anything to experience the same or similar as you have. Big thanks for sharing this it brought out alot of feelings seeing similar stuff in my journeys.
Ed, I'm 71 and been riding Harleys since I was 13. I've watched all of your c90 adventures and just want to say you're more biker than any Harley rider I've seen, including me. Now I've got to hit up your merch store. Thanks for all the real reality.
I feel like if you got a group of people to do this regularly annually or for an event this would be fun as hell
Yea facts imagine 5 people driving mini jeep to where his going 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯😂
This!
Would be a good charity fund-raiser.
Let's do it!
OKay, but no bitching when I show up with a comfy seat mounted in my Mini-Jeep....
@C90adventures I have to say how much I enjoy the music tempo increasing with your push start at 27:45. Absolutely brilliant.
As a native Utahn, I think you're absolutely crazy for going on this one alone. 😂 I know I wouldn't want to be out in the west desert like that. I was wondering how it'd be with the military ranges out west and then at the end when you said you were told off for sleeping on bombs I went "yup, there it is" glad to know you're safe!
poor guy, at least u didnt get ate by coyotes, or a couple of pumas, or die of sunburn.
there once something else here..oh no my battery!!
This is what you call "enjoy the journey" in the true sense. No hurry, no destination, clear blue sky, little crazy.
That is true, and a lot of hard work getting all the different camera and drone shots in. :)
The things you can do with money
@@r35spectgt-r84 Thats an excuse. Ed is not a wealthy man and gets by on hard work and the support of his fans who love his films.
@@j1j1j1j1j1 I don’t mean wealth, I mean things you can do with money lol
I love how he says "I'm an engineer!" I feel that mate. Sometimes what matters is solving the problem, not finding the best solution.
The best solution at any given moment is the one you can actually implement.
@@deusexaethera Certainly. I'm a mechanical engineering student and that is among the best advice I've received from a career engineer. Doesn't matter the field, it always applies.
He said jumped on willy
Right from the very start I knew there would be problems along the way...but that's part of the adventure...the uncertainties..
Salute to you sir❤
This guy deserves more attention❤
Since your fuel valve was closed, your five gallon fuel tank started to pressurize as the heat came from the sun arising. The pressure more than likely caused your fuel line to pop off since it wasn’t fastened with a hose clamp.
The fuel tank was vented.
@c90adventures I like to think that a prankster on an electric dirtbike came by and popped it off in the early hours of the morning. Does this theory make any sense at all? No. But I choose to believe it anyway.
@@MegaFPVFlyerWhat a asshole if that was the case
True.. needs some sort of pressure release valve.. my 5gallon spare fuel tank has a valve on top that you can open and close.. yes it does evaporate after time but it's way better than this happening..
@@NsyShwl I stated above that the tank was vented.
I have to say that, at 62, this is an adventure I'd be willing to undertake.. Love it!
Oh heck that’s not even old age 😄
Back off old man, let the young 50 year olds handle this 😂
You among a very small number of others have seriously captivated me the entire 31 minutes. I was right there with you vicariously, thanks for sharing this journey!
I really enjoyed this video and want to express my gratitude for giving me a feel of where I'm from. I'm from Salt Lake and live in Washington and can't tell you how much I miss home. I thank you for this my friend.
Sorry about the reupload causing confusion. I had to make make some changes to it and couldn't do it in the TH-cam editor. Sorry. And remeber, the premiere in only in 1080p, so feel free to watch again in 4k to not have TH-cam decimate the quality of the moving shots.
I dont wanna wait, Do it now
@@johnwattie4225 Have patience, we all want to see it and you'll just annoy him...
no worries, total unpredictability and chaos.... that's why we love your channel.
Hi Ed ,hope you added some proper childish drawings again.Looking forward!
no problemo. 😃 thanks for sharing your adventures, we can wait. trust me 🤘
Anybody crazy enough to drive a mini jeep hundreds of miles across unrelenting desert, AND FILMS IT, deserves my subscription! My hat is off to you, sir! Also, your trusty steed's nickname reminds me of that song by Sweet - "Little Willy Willy wont...go home!" lol
I drove my bike to work for 5 years 50 kilometers a day subscription pls 🙏 🙃 😢

@@nike6030also 50 km is unrealistic for you to
As a native Utahn, this looks like an amazing and difficult trek.! I've been on so many of the roads you were on, or very near them... especially our west Desert. So rare to see someone who has been to Kelton for example. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Went across that desert on an Amtrak train two years ago, can't imagine crossing it in that mini jeep. I saw some of those for sale at my local tractor store. Great to see you push it to its limits and see how far it will go. Great video!
The suspension in that little kit Jeep was honestly AMAZING!
Or lack of....
I am amazed it didn't blow apart in the first 60 miles.
The hardest part was making it interesting and this dude went above and beyond, composing songs and all! 💪🏼😂
This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever seen.
He said" what do you want me to do, sing" I was like yes then he does 😂😂
What really amazed me was the $3500 clams for Willy. Can't believe it cost so much. Great vid!
Not a moron. You sir are a legend. You succeeded in a challenge that nobody else would ever even contemplate. By far the most entertaining video I've seen. Happy trails!
Agreed.
Agreed man,I didn't notice i watch 20 mins without noticing it's to entertaining
He mastered the art of being patience. ❤ admirable
😂😂😂😂 that gas pump handle sealed it for me!!! I did not realize we were talking the Jeep on a road trip!! I thought the map was for show. 😂😂😂😂 I can’t!!!!!!! The song!!!!! Love it!!!! I’m glad your safe!! Where to next ❤❤❤❤ WILLIE!!!! You know how to bring us back to the comments!! 😂😂😂
A round of applause for the most hilarious adventurer in America 😂😂😂😂
It’s a Brit of course he’s hilarious 😆
@@kraenk12 that is not a given
@@kraenk12 that’s something Brits are known for?
As a Utahn, it does not surprise me at all that you met so many awesome friendly people!
Yeah and the woman at the gasolin stand has nice rack too!
If I lived there then I'd probably be happy too. It looks very beautiful.
Yeah he’s not black
@@RoCK3rAD Cmon dude...

You’ve got serious balls to go out in the middle of the Utah desert on a Chinese engineered toy.
Seriously... I was wondering if this was one of those found footage tapes.
Balls size +++ Brain size . . .
This looks like so much fun, your adventure brought a huge smile on my face, thanks for making my day!
As one of the 2.3%, it boggles one's mind that so few girls are entertained by this brilliant storytelling. Loved the song, laughed A LOT. Can't wait for the next edit!
It boggles me as well that there are so few girls. Makes me quite sad so few girls enjoy car-related things.

Ditto😂
@@beachwalk5178 well that's the whole gang here then. all 3 of em
Vanessa darlin, wanna come to rural West Texas and be a cowgirl
this is easily one of the most entertaining series on youtube
I drove a 1967 vw bug..like 6 times..back and forth from california to colorado..18 hrs..nonstop.. though the mountains etc..crazy..car still was strong after the many diff trips over a couple years.. fun and crazy..i miss my VW.
Dude this video is incredible, ima bout to binge the entire series. Instantly subscribed this is one of the best videos I have ever seen.
The saga of him coming to the realization that he can just turn the water bottle upside down so it doesn't leak out of the pinhole was truly a tale for the ages
It's awesome to see ed finally getting the views he deserves
I was just going to say the same! The whole trip from Alaska to Argentina sometimes had criminally low views seeing how much time and effort went into them.
and the 2nd part getting more views than the first?
It pains me he doesn’t get ad money despite having 4 million views already.
@@kraenk12 its been 6 or 7 weeks since the last one bit long of a gap
This is brilliant
It's like a young ones road trip
Cheers mate
Looking forward to the new one! All the best!
This is the greatest adventure I think I’ve ever seen. Your editing and shooting styles are brilliant
Absolutely. A lot of hard work went into getting all those different camera angle and drone shots.
Have you seen his other videos?? They're quite good, especially the ones through Canada.
@MuMa & Peter S. Tobacco corp. Yeah, I was impressed by that too. On the more advanced (read expensive) DJI drones you can plot a course through the app so that's what he must've done. Pretty clever
@MuMa & Peter S. Tobacco corp. No problem at all dude :)
This is THE BEST thing I’ve seen on TH-cam in literally years. Witty, daring, skillful, adventurous. Awesome!!
Wow, not to put this down, but you must be easily entertained.... I mean, there's all kinds of people out there doing stuff. It's like you came out of the 50's and it's whole new world to you or something😆
@@xsixinfantryx why this is gre0at better than most of the garbage this is entertaining
@@darrengray2309 lol yeah I guess it's pretty entertaining
It was @ 4:23 I knew I needed to subscribe! Love the improvising.
Thanks for including father Ted 3:36 in the video- this Rocks! Great video
if a group of lads gathered and decided that youtube’s put a shit ton of effort into their work that they deserve a youtube award ceremony, i think you’d be amongst the first to receive an award. your content is not only quality but it’s damn near heart warming and i hope you continue to make films of this quality
That’s rough man 18 miles an hour😮. In a normal car going 70 it takes 3.5 to 4 hrs to get to Moab from Salt Lake City and that’s going the fast way up Spanish fork canyon thru Price and Green River. Mad respect to you. (I’ve been a Utahn all my life)
I had one, it would do about 32mph but you had to pay attention. It was very darty from side to side at that speed. Almost like it needed a steering stabilizer.
Tons of giggles! Loving this lil trip! 😊
You've joined the category of "If you can do it, should you?" I'm not 'worldly', but have seen others do it too. Betcha I've done it too. I was entertained by your video. Mission accomplished!?!
It's incredible how he used those drones while driving and showing his adventure on the road
Honestly the pop up tent folding ability was very impressive
i love your humour, i love your enthusiasm! Great video man.
Great Trip! The only thing I would add....when the chain guard falls off, a Bungee Cord works wonders! Or some Duct Tape!
I feel like this could be made into some kind of yearly event
A 7 Hour Dr. in a mini Jeep WOW
You mean....should👀👀
Imagine taking that grocery shopping
It could be an awesome event. Might have to modify the suspension a bit... lol
Now u gonna get a bunch of TikTok kids trying this😂
I love that everyone in your video seems so friendly. They’re doing my state proud! Hope you’re having fun!!!
As an Australian I think I'd love Utah. The people are awesome in this vid. The America I'd want to see . Have an awesome day mate. 😃
Ppl are predominantly friendly everywhere you go in the US, mainstream media likes to paint red states as nothing but butt holes but nothing could be further from the truth. It likes to paint a picture where the world only sees that everyone in America are racist assholes, all southerners are inbred, Midwesterners are all basically stupid, or in short, if you don't live in California then its obvious that there's something wrong with you cause if there wasn't, you'd live in California at the apex of enlightenment where everyone gets a poney and cellphones come pre loaded with shit apps so you don't step in shit walking down the sidewalk. True story, those exist, but only in California where all the enlightened ppl are now that petty theft and taking a shit on the sidewalk right next to you while trying to eat your lunch has been decriminalized 😕. Buuuut, in reality, most everyone in the states are really nice to everyone and are good ppl. Not all ppl, but most of them are for sure.
@@matthewcullen1298 Oregon would also be very good, specifically Medford Oregon
@@matthewcullen1298 anywhere that isn’t a big city is a go to in America.
Not only is everyone in the video friendly, but the guy in the mini jeep is super positive and is consistently in high spirits! It makes a great video and really entertaining to watch.
Thank you this is a great video of just to drive it's one thing but to film and everything's incredible
That song was genuinely amazing.
So one “Idiot in pain” sets a premier. They say misery likes company so you keeping us waiting keeps us in pain too. Well played Mr March, well played. Often solo, never alone!
Ed March! We were worried about you, hadn’t heard anything in a while. Then you randomly show up on a couple of episodes of Itchy Boots and make me jump out of my seat! Now, driving across Utah in a mini Jeep! Glad to see things are going well for you! Can’t wait to see this series
love itchy boots
Caught him on itchy boots too.
I feel a connection as met her in Diani when she was in Kenya.
I knew there was a TH-cam youniverse when they met.
Flipping brilliant I love it. More of this
After 1 year i thought i watch this again, and Yes it is better then what on TV!
thank you for the Laughs you should do this again only with a custom ride with more then 4 hp..
one of the 2.3% of girls here! I haven't laughed this much in a long long time. These recent videos are great. Your humor, your ingenuity, and sense of adventure is incredibly inspiring. Take care, I look forward to the next installment ^^!
Does anybody else periodically check the comments just to make sure Ed hasn't been missing too long?
No rush on new vids. Glad you're safe friend.
Yep all the time 😂
@26:48 i can LITERALLY feel the vibration in my legs as i watch this 😂 it almost irritated me to were i thought about skipping 10secs😂 dope video man!!
12:40 is the perfect example of why manual transmission vehicles will always have a benefit over automatics.
Top shelf, Ed. We watched the premiere and loved it. ❤ Great shots. Great editing.
JEREMY!!!! *calms down* Thank you.
It's funny: with other channels I'd be judging this as an artificial cliffhanger.
But this is Ed, I'm happy to wait another day, as I'm sure it'll be worth it. Thanks for the joyful videos you keep making, were waiting in happy anticipation for the next one!
Yeah this is just a genuine cockup haha
i said the exact same thing to my friend that i introduced to the channel. i told him "you gotta just give him time, its worth it."
@@c90adventures im sure you could definitely use the time off to recover from this shitfest anyways
edit: very cool shitfest
Hahahaha kekker bezig Bram ;P
Ed is a cliffhanger himself, it's natural. :b
Holy shit!
I’m invested in this adventure, I will see through it to the end
Yaaay… what wholesome videos. Haven’t seen you since watching your vids while preparing for driving the Panamericana (2016-2017)
Still in disbelief that one of my heroes built his mini jeep in essentially what is my backyard and driving around my state. So cool.
Best wishes and safe journeys, Ed
I have the attention span of a very small child who's had a sugar overdose. I watched this from start to finish...! Love it.
Reach out to some of these companies that sell the portable power stations, they are small enough to strap on the back of the Jeep. The 1000W 35Ah ones would last you the whole trip I reckon.
This is brilliant, in the best sense.
I wish I could be with folks from the UK for their first time coming to the rural expanses of North America.
I would assume the vast openness is somewhat mindblowing...
I live in a small town in VT, my in-laws come over from Scotland and are treated like royalty! They love going to my “local” which is a stellar hole in the wall!
Dear Ed. I'm glad that you are happy with your new adventures. I doesn't really matter if it has 2 or 4 wheels or where you're going, it's you and your awesomeness we all come to see here ❤️👍😎
Great seeing you on Willy, but look forward to seeing 90 again. 😊
"I only rode willie a lil more that night"🤣 @6:30 got me
Been wanting to watch this epic, finally getting to it.
I am not quiet this adventurous but I do have my own stories. It is fun watching you push yourself past the point most of us would.

The drivers leave something to be desired, people on the road are awful
@@WinterishsparkSR8483 Hey I think there are just quite a few bad drivers all over the place. You can never escape them so long as there are other people around haha

It helps when you have a British accent. In general, Americans love the British lol
First vid I've ever watched of yours. You're exactly the type of British dry humor I live for. Awesome video man!
That was a very cool and entertaining video!! A true adventure. I can imagine that something like that would be a blast with a friend or two!!
I’ve done some silly adventures, but this is next level torture. Cannot wait till the next episode 😂
Great vlog!
oh hey fooligan
👀 ayo? Whats goin on 😂 wasn't expecting to see ol fooligan here
Ed, received an amazing C90 duct tape t-shirt a month ago. Really nice heavy duty quality shirt. First time I wore it I was cruzin on US41 North on my 1990 softtail and broke my crankshaft connecting rod pin. There just ain't that much duct tape but the shirt made me laugh. At 71, life's too short to cry.
Thanks for the videos and the great shirt.
This looks like a blast. You're a legend.
If this isn't the epitome of a hold my beer moment, I don't know what is.
Brilliant video by the way.
I love this adventure sooooo much as a Jeep Lover and Army Disabled Vet. So i plan to recreate this trip slightly modified of course & all credot goes to my brother in arms. Thanks for the inspiration.
This guys sense of humor is out of this world.
I'm thoroughly impressed by the mini jeep and was on the fence about buying one until i saw this. It's a mostly flat, 17 miles from the tractor supply store to my house and I'm thinking that it will be a trial by fire for it's maiden voyage. I will definitely bring a memory foam cushion and a real gas can for the trek.
