This is just a Timelapse of the sun moving across the sky on a fall day in Georgia. Back story, this video has a lot to do with me starting 1870OffRoad, I want to get this video published so I can one day tell this story. However that tale will be told another day
4 Day, Ultimate Overlanding Adventure: Georgia Traverse in Fall : a bucket list, must do epic ride!
Переглядів 49814 днів тому
Bucket list item checked, finally pulled it off. This is the Georgia Traverse. 4 days, nearly 400 miles, touching 5 states. After previously completing many day trips on several small sections, I was finally able to dedicate the time to do the entire Traverse from east to west Last minute vacation canceled, rearranging plans, this was originally just gonna be a Charlie’s creek and Cohutta ride ...

Oh
I would keep the CB radio regardless cause when cell phones go down you can still use them to communicate
this Maine Trucker will make it there someday !!!
@@rogerw6156 it’s awesome, a little closer for me since I live in Georgia 😂
Nice view!
@@oldmanoldtruck thanks
Where do you check the transmission fluid level?
@@D7P911-cb1yu sadly you don’t on a JL. Technically, You can pull the plug like on manual. but it’s gotta be warm and in neutral… definitely not designed to be maintenance friendly
Can it run 4 gravity pro 6 kc lights? I have four driving beams on my roof rack
@@overlanddriven6346 i don’t have any experience with the pro 6, I don’t know their current draw. however I have 2 KC slimite 6’s on my bumper. I’m running those off of one 20amp switch with zero issues. There is also 2 30amp slots available on the switch pod. I would check with KC (or the kc manual) and see if you can run 4 pro 6 lights off a 30amp fuse. If so you’ll be fine. If not you would have to add an additional relay to use the switch the switch pod. Or you could run them in pairs off of 2 buttons on the switch pod
Full circle
Today at my school, there is so much yellow jackets and I kept like running and twirling and then I started screaming and then running and then my teacher said stop running or stand still and get back in the line girl they are yellow jackets. They were about like 100 of them not 100 there was like Seven or six they kept surrounding me. I almost got stung and we were getting out of lunch to get our trays and then I drop my tray but the only thing that I am happy about is that I didn’t get stinging one landed on my hand and it had its wings up And I was like hell to now no so I kept screaming and yelling and then my teacher got mad and then when I went back in the classroom, I was shaking like really bad and I had to sit down for a minute to calm down and then eat lunch😂😂😢😢
Be careful, definitely not an enjoyable experience
Cool! Thanks for sharing!☀🍁🙂
Nice video! I gotta get out there and check out the Georgia Traverse.
It was awesome, gotta break in that Jeep 😉
@1870offroad , yes I am itching to do some trail riding. I keep telling myself I need to do a few things first (tires, lift, winch) but man this weather has me wanting to get out.
@ we do a lot of stock friendly rides. Long as you got all terrain tires you’ll be fine. But we’re bout to start but Christmas parades for the next few weeks
Derek I enjoy all of your videos, thanks for them
Thanks for commenting, Christmas Parades are coming. The schedule it set
A times it really looks like there is a person in the pantsuit hanging from the tree. It looks like they;re walking too. Your view from your back porch is breathtaking. 🍁🌞
@@maryhadalamb321 thanks, This is a couple years ago. I wanted to save this video, and one day tell a story about this view. What you’re seeing there is a pair of coveralls as a scarecrow. It keeps hawks and Owls away from the chickens, even helps with the coyotes. There’s a house in the middle of that field now 😔, the gated entrance is gone, the driveway was moved, it ain’t the same place anymore. Still better than where I was, and still better than anything else I could afford, but a lot of hard lessons learned after buying this house.
Enjoying your posts especially looking forward the Christmas ones. Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks I love the Christmas Parades
I have 21 JLU SPORT ALTITUDE and this just came on. 24,000 miles. Did you rectify this? Thanks in advance
Yes, both batteries failed. I replaced the main battery with an Odyssey battery. I deleted the Aux battery. You can just replace one or both batteries if you choose, you don’t have to delete or do an upgrade. I did the upgrade because this was my 3rd time experiencing this failure. I made a series of “how to videos” on deleting the Aux battery if you choose to
❤❤ 💯💯 my daughter does this too
@@bass_and_bass3323 funny thing, she don’t remember doing it… or ever even seeing the hammer when she was little 😂
God bless you brother. Loved the video. "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?"

2003 my daughter put a sticker on my dog tags. 2 wars and several tours later, no longer in the service but the sticker is still there. Little things!!!!
@@nbookie absolutely!! That’s cool
Lovely.
Thanks
Cute buuuut...... Put the sticker on her car now
@@ethanlammar5554 not a bad idea
Heck no never remove it
@ I won’t. I think I’ll retire the hammer and display it somewhere
Show her, tell her, hug her
@@PJOZeus absolutely
Lol keep her the hammer and give it to her that's awesome story I love my daughter ❤
@@denali9964 thanks
That’s sweet . I lose everything that I buy at Home Depot I don’t know what the hell happens to it.
@@bryanr87 lol, it probably goes the same place all our money goes 😂
My daughter is 2, with another little girl on the way. Stories like this make me stoked for my own full circle stories of me and my girls, thanks for sharing , way to be a kick ass pops
@@theDadWagon thanks, take pictures and video as much as you can. You never know what will be a cool memory when they’re older
Wish i had a dad like that. God bless you good sir 🙏🏽 🙌
Thanks
This is a great video. The only disappointment is learning that nothing was actually filmed in Arkansas where I grew up. Burst my childhood bubble a bit.
@@michaelmccarroll5946 sadly true of many movies. Thanks for the comment and compliment. I was similarly disappointed to learn there is no such place as Deeson county Arkansas 😂
Great video. I love the traverse.
@@oldmanoldtruck thanks, it was my first time doing it in its entirety. Obviously I’ve done a lot of its smaller sections before this. Such a cool ride, bucket list item checked!!
Great adventure, video. So many places that I recognize. It makes me wanna go back and do it again.
I’d be down to do it again. This was a huge bucket list item for me. I probably watched yours and few other Georgia Traverse videos at least a dozen times in prep of doing the ride myself.
@@1870offroadwhat about doing the Georgia Adventure Trail? Or the FAT?
@ I wouldn’t mind the Georgia Adventure trail. I’ve heard there’s not much to it south of I-16 (and no camping) but the north half is supposed to be fun. I’m not familiar with the FAT I think I can figured out what the acronym is 😂) We’re trying to figure out what we’re (wicked jeeps) gonna do in January. considering old Bucktown again, Talladega, Tray Mountain, west Georgia loop? I’ll let ya know
@@1870offroad I haven't researched alot of the Georgia Adventure Trail. I'll have to research a bit more. The FAT is the Florida Adventure Trail. It's over 1000 miles starting at the north eastern part of Florida (near Jacksonville), heading south through Ocala and back over West to the Gulf coast area and back up towards Alabama. Some other trails on my list.... 1. Cape Lookout - 60 miles of desolate beach in the Outer Banks (I'll have to wait until it's warm) 2. SCAR - South Carolina Adventure Trail 3. DBBB - Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway 4. Smokey Mountain 1000 - This would be a HUGE adventure
@ I will have to research your list, but I have heard of them. They all sound fun to try. From what I’ve found of the GAT, the southern half (south of I-16) is entirely dirt roads through Private property. No where to camp (no public land or national forest land). You’ll have to go all the up to the Piedmont NWR (Juliette Ga) until you find campsites. The few videos I saw the drivers looked stressed, going 12hours, too fast on dirt, going from Florida up to the Piedmont. But north from there seems fine. I would love to do north of I-16, I’d need more info about everything south of I-16. Silver$ was talking about doing this one last spring too (or the WGAL) but we never found time for it
Just before they come into the McDonough square, it shows them flying through a strip mall parking lot. The strip mall is in Jonesboro at the intersection of 19/41 and 138. Used to be a treasury drug store there and you can see it in the movie. It's just around the corner from where the top came off and with the cop across from the national pride carwash.
@@wendelljackson613 the one with the A&W in the middle with the movie theater behind it?

Great video Derek, it’s nice watching a video where someone isn’t trying to promote 50 products. Your videos are just so genuine. I appreciate the time you put into these videos. I will be in the cohutta and chattaochee area at the end of November, we can’t wait. Take care and have a great day.
@@NoExcusesOverland thanks for the comment. That’s very encouraging, it’s a lot to not only do the adventure, but then to also film and edit it as well. I’m glad people are enjoying it. I would love to see it November and December but that’s when we do all the Christmas Parades with Wicked Jeeps, and that takes priority. It would be hard to go off-roading with my Jeep covered in Christmas lights 😂
Derek this is an amazing video. I have been to Coopers Creek and did some camping and fishing. Had a blast with friends.
@@garyrenfroe454 thanks for the comment, it was difficult to cut this video down to 30minutes. I filmed enough to make it well over an hour long. Coopers creek was really nice, I’ve been there last winter a couple times but much of it was closed off. Now I’ve seen the entire main trail
Thanks for posting this. It is really informative. I am thinking about doing the same thing, minus teh mollie panel. I'm wondering how you would secure the antenna wire into rear window drip panel . Glue ?
@@RobinForbes-o3r temporarily with black duct tape in the rail, this is to get me through softball season, while I use it a little before making it permanent. It functions great there and this is the final week of softball so I’m about to have time to finish it Now I want to look for plastic clips with double sided tape, for a permanent mount… but I have to be able to easily remove the coax so I can take the top off
Awesome video Derek
@@garyrenfroe454 I appreciate it
Have you replaced the stering stabilizer? I have read multiple forms that say they installed a fox steering stabilizer and that fixed the wandering.
@@daviddalessio7162 yes I have, I’ve got a rock sport with MetalCloak steering. It’s hard to say what it is, when I drive it for a few days I don’t even notice it. It’s when I’ve been driving the truck for a few weeks and get in the jeep that I notice. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just the way the solid axles grip the pavement and maybe there’s noting wrong? It was definitely much worse before the steering upgrade, but the lower control arms changing the castor had zero affect on it
Thanks for watching. In this video I did not air down. Still running about 35psi I was just back up there last week and I was aired down this last time, 18-20 psi
Thank you for sharing this video... Did you air down, or you were running at complete psi ?

What is the torque specification?
@@philliprollman7421 it’s been a few years since I did this. I wanna say it was around 90-100ft lbs, but that’s by memory. I would check @metalcloak website. They have links to the directions and torque charts there, free
Beautiful

@@1870offroad yeah thanks
I got these from a store, (pallet items) Unopened. If I plug the lights up will they still work without running wires for Amber?
@@jasonaskaggs yes, the headlight themselves are plug and play. The only wiring was for the Halo’s
