  • We take a group of off road rigs down into the Palo Duro Canyon at Merus Adventure Park for a day of wheeling! Little did we know, recent floods had turned what was once a challenging Jeep trail into a practically impassable pile of rocks. And to make matters worse - we also experience a catastrophic mechanical failure on our hemi Jeep Wrangler!

    I'm actually surprised you guys don't break down more often. I'm waiting to see the video where MORR comes to your rescue in Utah.

      It's happened in the past just dig back in the archives. I'm pretty sure I remember a flex-off in Matt's parking lot with the banana against the stepchild.

      @Desertquartz79 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Major difference here. These people are Pro off-roaders and know there rigs and what they can do and push it. They have broke and got off the trails many times. Most of Matt's recoverys are clueless people who don't have any recovery gear or experience.

      Not sure that’s going to happen, as they don’t wheel alone. So there’s generally a lot of people around with the equipment to get them out.

    “its cold, but don’t worry every one has a vehicle.” Except Brit….who spends 12 hours in the cold spotting vehicles….and directing people where to put rocks. What a rockstar team we got with Lite Brite and Merus all at once. Thanks for another exception weekend on the trails!

    Damn, that canyon looked real gnarly. I am always impressed as to where Kev gets that Jeep, and this one is no exception. That canyon looked rougher than Carnage Canyon or even Holy Cross, by a long ways. I don't blame you for turning around near the end, even if the Jeep wasn't damaged, because yeah I don't think anything less than some sort of buggy was getting around in that.
    Also, this might have been the most non-chalant I've ever seen Brit be when it comes to breaking the Stepchild. I really appreciated that, as many channels would spend time putting more drama into it and lamenting breaking their vehicle, but Kev and Brit barely seemed to care. Which as Brit mentioned makes sense as they were gonna rebuild everything anyway. I just liked and thought it was cool that it was nothing overly dramatic and we did not hear any whining at all from anyone. That's the mark of some real and true pros, right there.

  • @SuperChewybacca
    @SuperChewybacca ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Lite Brite should start cloning Chis so we can each have one. Ideally Chris-clone would be foldable so we could conveniently store him in our tool boxes or center consoles. I''m looking forward to watching the rebuild the Step Child. Thanks for another great video.

    Wow, I finally got to see the obstacle that turned yall around. That was surely frustrating for you all and I could see the exhaustion and frustration when yall got back to the shop for dinner. Glad everyone made it out with minimal damage (minus a busted t-case of course, but that's just Kevin doing Kevin things). I was super happy to see my Powerwagon in your videos finally, hehe. Next time I'll have it more decked out with front to back, side to side, protection.

    I get it's a jeep thing. But i have owned more than the next guy and worked them but never just abused the sht out of them. But deep pockets help the thought process I'm guessing.
