brutal watching this with the look on Justin’s face toward the end... you can see how much pride he’s got in the product that it can cut him up like this... shows there’s always room for improvement, even at the top of the game... it’s the little one percenters like this that hone things to perfection... well done on being transparent and vulnerable with your gear guys... above all it builds trust in what you’re producing
Gutted!! 😞
Credit to them putting the product out there and showing a failure. They could of never shown this. Good work team
Learn from this experience and build an even better X1 in the future.
Even though it was a bad experience, I believed is good that this happened to you and not to someone else. These trailers are bullet proof, and after this experience they're probably going to get even better (because it happens to the person that can improve them). Human invented planes 100 years ago and they still fail once in a while, we just get improvement every time this happens.... Still an amazing adventure. Nice job!!
Awesome analogy!!
Big respect for You mates. Not many companies would show this kind of situation... This makes me even more sure - PATRIOT CAMPERS trailers are the best ITW
Love to see a man that takes pride in his work and his products. And how upset he is was or is with his product that let's him down.
Look on the bright side though mate, 1 in in 2000 items not bad Justin.
😉
So much respect for you Justin and the Patriot family, not too many people would show testing times like these. Gutwrenching experience but no doubt the love and pride in your products shine's through.
Thanks! 👍
Hey guys, can't wait for season 4
Neither can we 🙌
There is always a trade off between weight, strength and cost when providing products to the public. You are doing a fine job with a well made product. 1 in 2,000 had a significant failure while being fully tested, and it hurts your pride? That’s the mindset of a good builder and a lesson to your children. I would be proud to own one of your trailers without any reservation of its capabilities.
😉
I am here watching this from the States. Love the show and love your family. Hang that broken part in your office. Hang that part front and center in the sales office. There is no shame in failure. Just knowledge. Now you know what it takes to break your gear. You know more now than you did yesterday. Save that part!!!!!
Wow dude, I’m speechless. Devastating to see, That looked like a brutal hit on both you and the camper!
No need to stress Justin. Your tough first class builds and products, have already proven time and time again. Why patriot campers has be on top for 7 years straight. Great episode! Cheers legends!!!
Good to see you all work well under shit circumstances and not give up.
That was really an unfortunate event for a well built trailer, but they must of missed the episode of bush mechanics where they used the log as a skid
That would certainly be a good technique provided they had logs in Mongolia to use. Actually, now that I think of it, they post they hack in half to shore puu the center of the ramps would have worked as a sled for sure.
Just watching this my heart sank watching Justin’s face you could feel the emotions though the screen
i feel your pain Justin, these things happen and i have been through this sort of thing, you handled it well, when this sort of thing happens it's a matter of working it out, chin up Justin you will be fine
Build it...Break it.....Fix it... then go break it again. I bet the improvements for the X gear are gonna be Epic!!!
No one test like you do 💪💪
Hell yeah 👊

save that part and hang it on the wall as a trophy! First part to really fail. Shows how tough they are!
I surprised you didn't get tools out and take all the doors off the trailer and the rooftop tent, the tyre, even the hubs and just drag slide it on middle axle
Thats what pulley blocks are for isn't it. Thats assuming there was a point to attach one at the cab end of the truck. But jerry one up easy enough to, and then a straight pull up.
Maybe try using maxtrak as a slead with racket straps both ends to drag over to the hill. Less damage to the camper.
You guys have killed it with the breakdown of the trailer.
Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks 🙌
Justin,
Great video! And it takes courage to also show, when things don't go as planned, and how to work through it as a team, and how you usually can get local help, if you travel with the right companions!
A humble side question:
Why didn't you guys build a little "improvised sled" out of the pieces of wood and fix it to the broken suspension arm of the trailer to get over to the dip where you intend to load onto the truck? We have done this in the past to "limp drive" for a short distance, just to get to a better place for attempting a more permanent fix or execute plan B.
Another great video . Cheers and thanks for sharing your your trips and even a break down , most dealers would never show this . Looking forward to getting a x3 . From Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
Thanks 👍Glad you enjoyed it!
good stuff Justin.
Thanks mate!
I wasn't there obviously but still have to ask why you didn't strip the camper of all its gear (if it was possible) before trying to push it up the first ramp to lower the weight then chuck it all into the back of the truck.
I was thinking the same.
That was a sad episode guys....Feeling for ya. But knowing you guy’s it’ll all turn out well in the end..
That V6 sounds good too. Put a metal plate under the suspension arm before dragging it.
When you coming too SOUTH AFRICA we also have deserts like you guys
It's on the list 💪
@@PatriotGames If you deside too come I wil help you arange a guest house and stuff like that
Damn my ute sounds like that daily without going offroad.
Just turn the stezza up bunge.
Bahahahaha that’s the way if you hear a rattle windows down turn it up 🤙
Justin - whilst extremely hard..... take the emotion out of the situation and re-evaluate. Shearing the outdrive was completely out of your control. END OF STORY.
Now, you have to do what is required - not preferable, not easier, not kinder to the X1, Required! This will be one of your best camp fire stories in due time. Chin up mate, anyone can be knocked down - getting up is what's important, and hell I expect nothing less of you and patriot campers.
Well said mate!
Why was the x1 not put on the rangers trailer and tow the ranger behind the 200
Make the spare tire holder a removable stub axle, this testing makes for good updates.
Should have watched bush mechanics they came across this very problem with a Kingswood wagon in the outback. Had that thing back on the road in no time but I suppose hindsight is a wonderful thing
I'm guessing use lighter materials for the body and thicker axles in the future X builds..
why didn't y'all tie the maxtrax to the broken axle when dragging it towards the destination?
The MaxTrax would have ground right in half within 30 feet going over those rough rocks.
Because they would have been destroyed quickly and create more drag and that metal A-Arm lower is bloody strong and will survive the skull dragging better anyway and its being replaced.
Hi i love watching ur vids i allways watch them with my dad and my brother i watch it every night
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying our series 👍
Heart broken is an understatement but it’s got nothing to do with Patriot quality or suspension quality, it’s got everything to do with the flux capacitor in the right foot. Maybe just maybe if you slowed down it might not have happened. Yeah?
Lost for words to be honest, the suspence is killing me, bring in next week please.
I love This stuff
Thanks David! 👍
Everything breaks down in Mongolia guys
Best thing you can do when you loose a wheel is get a curved tree strap it on the bottom of the frame to make a sled on one side then you can drive for hundreds of kilometres 👌🏻
Justin, will this axle issue get your wheels turning (pun intended) to redesign the axle shaft to be field serviceable/replaceable?
You had wood materials ratchet straps/fencing wire, why didn't you build a sled for the broken axle? Or drove the front of the truck up the toy haulier lowering the rear of the truck used two winch blocks on the headboard and run the 2 winch trucks at right angles and winched it up. Anyway a good night sleep may have had a better solution rolled out a swag for the truckie he would have loved it.
You could have put a car on the same side as the wheel and winch it and then that takes weight off and you could have maybe tried reversing it up then
Heart breaking i feel for ya mate
Do you think that maybe that batch of steel did not take the heat treat correctly and made the steel brittle. So maybe the size of the shift is fine but not the temper. Good luck on that.
Every episode🍺in hand
🍻
Why didn’t you unload the heavy items from the trailer? Surely that would’ve helped when using the loading ramps?
We did!
why did you use fell off tire to strap to broken side, put some oil and drag it by winch from other side of the tow truck
Real world it will break but for what happened damages is minimal 👍👍
Wouldve unbolted everything, imagine how easier it wouldve been to move with no tyre or RTT, just to start with. Could only watch half, painfull decision making guys, sorry!!!
No one had a welder either - having an expensive item that rarely fails is obviously ideal but everyone here looked like they didn't know what to do when it did. Good on them for being honest with their product though - shows some real integrity for a company
Shame you weren't there to advise them isn't it?.
Did you not have a snatch block to pull the trailer up
happens all the time if you don't grease the bearings, especially going through water
Nooo ... a cliff hanger! ... You need to be quick to post next episode!!! Pls!
Gonna have to wait until next week 😏
I feel bad Justin has worked so hard this the first this has happened
You have to work with what you have, a hiab crane would've been good
Another cliffhanger!
Just have to wait until next week 😏
Could you have made a sled out of timber for under the broken side.
You can fix that up with some 3 in 1 oil, some gauze pads and ball bearings....
Use the hi-lift jacks...
wow im with you Justin bloody hell this will kill you to hear that sound pfffff
Awesome lets do it
👊 hell yeah!
if you wanted to dig the back weels in the ground you could have dont a burn out
😂😂
I would've done it from the side of the truck and winch from other side.
hallo overlanding people after som episodes from your nice channel i think that your hurry up to much i am not a 4x4 expert at all and maybe your will be grumpy over my comment but your equipment and gear can take all that abuse when your driving so fast as your do.
som times i almost think that i am seeing the Dakar rally.
I hope you all are well and will have a nice and safe trip after this accident here
many greetings here from Denmark!
Same
Hi
Hi 👋
I love your videos please make move
😨😨😨
Should have IAN JOHSON WITH YOU HE TAKE JUMPERS, BATTERY AND COAT HANGER WELD THAT WHEEL ON ,FINISH THE ADVENTURE,,NO WORRIES,,,,BAHAHAHA,,,GOOD VID
Should of snatched strapped some wood underneath
Love the show guys but could probably do with a little less over dramatising the challenges that you guys face.
Maybe more focus on how how you can over come all different challenges safely and efficiently in remote areas.
I'm sure the trailers are awesome and everything fails sometimes.
But that recovery seems like a bunch of hastily made terrible decisions.
The "ramps" Couldn't take the weight of the trailer and he wanted to put the 200on it?
And it could have been significantly lightened before the drag. Rooftop tent, wheel, fridge?, were the tanks empty?
And then there's the old trick of ratchet strapping a log under it to drag on...
