Borderline Explorer is a UA-cam channel created to share our adventures. We began as car-campers staying strictly on campsites with showers and restrooms. Curiosity kept taking us deeper into nature and here we are now. Make memories with us as we explore trails and campsites mainly in Southern California. Have fun with us as we hit trails, review products, and share gained knowledge from our travels.
Explore when you can and dream when you can't. Not all of us are hardcore... most of us just.. Borderline Explorers.

Overland Expo West 2021 - Highlight Reel - First Expo Vlog
→ Keep in touch, yeah? Instagram: borderlineexplorer
Join me on my first experience at ANY Overland Expo! We drove into Flagstaff, AZ for Overland Expo West 2021 to be part of team JonDZ and help him record his educational sessions at the Honda exhibit. Before and after the sessions I was free to roam about --and glad I did.
Future videos will have detailed coverage of the exhibits. If I crammed all the footage into this video we'd be here on a 20 hour marathon. Why would I put you through that?

Thanks for the video. I noticed you stopped doing videos for the last 3 years. Whats up?
"Reliable." You guys are funny. 😆
Seems to me that the thousands of weekend offroaders are the ones who destroyed Mother Nature's river.
You record the route you took from the campground to Travelers Monument on any mapping app that you can share
So i definitely could have driven my tundra truck camper through medano pass.
Hopefully in the 3 years since you've made this video you've had a chance to make it up to Washington. Talk about intense green everywhere...Mt. Rainier, the Cascades, & Olympic National Park are all musts.
I also recently purchased an MDX. DO you have any info on the roof top tent your using? And if so are you just using the OEM roof racks or did you have to swap them out?
My brother used to own one in that exact color from when I was in elementary school. This was during the early 2000s and thought it was a cool truck. But then he had to junk it because the transmission went out so it wasn't worth fixing. Still miss that truck til this day.
@BorderlineExplorer what was the largest size tires you put without lift
Glad for sharing your experience with your MDX.
I just was there last weekend its completely dry😢
INCREDIBLE!! I’m looking at getting a 2019!
Poserlanding lol
I used to run this trail all the time in my 93 Toyota pickup back in the 90's using paper maps. It is great east/west and west/east. Lots to explore. Make sure to check out the Paymaster Mine in the mountains just west of Kelbaker Rd.
It's normally only a problem if you get stuck in water without extended diff breathers or if the water crossing is pretty long. Cooled my diffs and transmission with a waterport hose and waited 10-20 minutes after the long trail before crossing just to be safe.
As i watch this again 4 years later, I can officially say this whole spot is on currently on fire. Vista Fire. I just did this trail with my daughter last Saturday. Very rutted now.
Hi Mate. Im in Australia and no one really makes a tyre carrier for Gladiator. I tow a caravan as well so hoping you can help with an easy syatem to bolt onto rubicon model and if anyone will ship from US or your location.
Great underwater beer cam!😁👍
This video gives me hope. About to start my 2006 MDX touring build! It’s got 209k and the same seat tear 😂
I thought I was watching morr at first 😂
Good stuff! Is this a Maggiolina RTT? What size?
Why didn't you video the Jeeps
Great video thanks! Thumbs up!
I daily mine its on its last leg 2wd but drives really well traamssion has limited life left had it rebuilt but has a crack in the case I dream about finding an all black 4wd in mint condtion.
Like a poser swing
To the 1st Gen Mdx owners consider installing a transmission cooler with Fan and a switch. it helps the transmission from overheating when climbing so far haven’t seen warning sign from atf when i installed it.
Going to do this with plastic bolts and nuts! That way no harm to the tires and I can replace them when I want
Growing up my dad had a red manual 2d fwd 92 navajo.. as a kid I remember sitting in the back pushing on the window to open it, and playing with the little ash tray under the window. My dad had it until 2006 when he bought a new car and traded it in.. he told me it only had 60k on the dash when he traded it in 😭
How do you like the Disco 15? Im thinking about getting one. Im 5'8 but have beoad shoulders so i need a bag with a little more room. Should i get the nemo or opt for something more expensive and lighter?
I'm a side/stomach sleeper and use a quilt. Just got the Disco and it's got enough space for me.
kinda funny/sad to think about this video a few years later... at the time, people were upset that the deep crossing was made so much easier/// now any time it or the next crossing get any kind of depth even over 1 foot... people wimp out and go around destroying vegetation, tearing up fences and cutting barriers even... pathetic how weak everyone has become. all that money for a vehicle that can do anything and they are afraid to get a little mud on it....// i wish more people had that attitude of the guy who made this video, people should want those deep crossings....
Any updates on how these worked? Any videos of them in action?
As an MDX owner I am impressed. Keep up the good work!
When are you guys going to go again in 2024?
This sleeping bag is shit...thermarest is questar if far superior
I lived in that area rode a triumph chopper over that pass beautiful ride
The first hinest review ive seen so many ads on UA-cam pretending to be reviews i feel bad for people not as tedious who see 1 garbage can doing an ad pretending to be a review
Poserlanders😅😅😅. I check it all off, but I actually do rockcrawling too. So rocklanding is what I say 😅
Great channel! Thank you!!
JMHO, the Dirtcom is superior to both the Rigd and Wilco
just pull forward and back down to the next turn wouldnt work?
I just ordered one for my 2023 Subaru Ascent. They make an AE version (low clearance), since the Ascent hitch receiver is really high and the standard Trail Swing would block the gate from opening even when swung out. I wanted something that could be locked into place, because I plan on using it with the FrontRunner table (which I also ordered from DirtCom), so it needs to swing out and lock into place. Anyway, I love the product design and the passion from the people at the company. I made 3 calls to them so far and every time I spoke with someone knowledgeable and willing to take time to listen to my questions and get actual answers. Customer service so far has been way over the top. Hopefully it's a good long-term product! Definitely expensive, but I wanted the best and most useful, since my Wife will need to swing out the hitch to get into the trunk. I wanted it to be as easy as possible. I ALMOST went with the Wilco brand, but saw too many reviews talking about a sticky pin. I like the Rigd and Dirtcom latch design much better.
Yup then tell me all about it. Sobi can donit too! 😊 good luck man
Enter from the east side but they will charge you when or if you exit through the park gate. If you go back the way you came no fee for anything. Times before they charged per vehicle.... now its per person
That road belongs to the railroad and it wouldn’t even be there if it weren’t for the tracks. The railroad trumps the BLM and was around 100 years before the BLM even existed. Basically, they don’t answer to any local or even state authority. Railroad property isn’t even considered a part of a state, it is a separate entity.
Maybe try and apply some spray bed liner material for some durability, waterproofing, traction, and easy cleaning. Great stuff, I had the same idea and wanted to see if anyone else did it!
Let's see what she can do.
I’m a guy but just got the woman’s long for the extra fill. The bag is nice and roomy compared to my old Sierra Designs. I like it so far.
Cool I'm looking for one
👍
Did that on a one leger econoline 150 😅
