The best part of this video is watching a nearly stock jeep being driven on the rubicon, imagine that. It just proves how much experience can be a key factor. Like Chris said about when they first started driving the rubicon they had no lockers or huge tires. That alone will make you a better driver. I've been driving 4wd machines for over 40 years and that's how I learned to drive and when I show up some place in my stock 4wd these days people are like, "how'd you get here?" I drove? Thanks for the video it was very entertaining.
"How did you get here?" Agreed, folks new to the sport that jump in with Wrangler Rubicon should learn how to drive technical terrain without pushing 'the buttons' or installing big tires.
Like he said about Soup bowl "it used to be a lot more tame". I'd bet that's true of much of the trail. The Caddy on Cadillac hill didn't get there by traversing the same level of terrain that exists now. I bet even back in the day there was plenty of rock stacking involved in getting stock Jeeps over it.
This video gives me confidence that if I drive smart, I could get my 84 XJ on 33s through without too much anxiety!
@@bmxerben From what I've heard, the best time to try is right after the Jeepers Jamboree because they stack a lot of rocks all over the trail to get the less capable rigs through. There's some clues in the video that back this up.
@@bmxerben An XJ on 33s, when set up with a good suspension, armor, and LSDs or a locker, shouldn't be an issue. But so much of it is the experience of the driver or friends that can coach and help spot them through the tight spots. @bmxerben2000 below makes a good point. JJ stacks a lot of rocks to make sure everyone gets through w/o too many issues...but it is still a tough trail as witnessed by the repairs being made in the mechanic's camp at Buck.
Great video with the world famous Chris Collard
Careful now, Steve, we'll have to take the roll cage off Edla to get his now-inflated ego out😀
Great job ,we have drove down from Canada to do the Rubicon 4 different times . It gets in your blood .
Thanks for the input Rod Good. Collard is a lucky dog, having the Rubicon in his backyard.
Another great video. Thanks for the in-depth look at the Rubicon trail and an awesome event!
Thanks for the good words, Liz...and for the Soup Bowl clips👍
It shows Chir’s amazing driving capabilities
Easy now, he'll need to take the cage off that Jeep to get his ego in next time😁
I enjoyed seeing the orange jeeps in action! I might have to rewatch the original video they stared in 🎉
Thanks for the good words, Pavement Princess. Chris and Rick did a walk-around with Edla at EJS 2021 ( ua-cam.com/video/wJ32cBZ1_Mw/v-deo.html and we are also digging his restoration series; should have the next one up in a few weeks.
Thank you thank you thank you for this series of videos with the Expedición de las Américas CJ-7. I enjoyed them so much! Badass story and badass footage!
Thanks for the good words, we are pretty jazzed about it too.
Why I fell in love with the Jeep community.. nothing like it.. sold my Lexus in for a Rubicon… and no regrets… from a JK to now a JL.. ✌️
Awesome, love it, thanks for the input.
I’ve watched two of your videos back to back now it is refreshing to see a video where people talk about the area give descriptions of where to go how to go and what to do
Thanks for the feedback, Charles. In Episode III we interview JJ Prez Bob Sweeney and each of the committee chairpersons, dive into how the event remained a fundraiser for the local community.
Thanks Chris and Liam for the great ride! I always wondered who drove that jeep on the moon. lol!
LOL, thanks for the good words, Rick
Excellent!
Thanks buddy. Need you to come out to CA for the next one.
Very nice video👏👏old jeep are better🤘🤘thank you for content. I liked and subscribed
I absolutely love the orange Darien Gap CJ7! Did you say it had front and rear Truetracs? Also, what size tires, axle gear ratios, and lift are on it?
Yep, Eaton Truetracs, 4.10:1 gears, Moser rear shafts, new front shafts from Sierra Gear & Axle, 2-inch lift, Rancho shocks, 32-inch BFG KO2s. A little out of place amongst the big-tire crowd.
@@Gone_Gpn it seemed to hold its own against the big tire Jeeps! Perfect old school build! Look forward to seeing more of it on your channel!
Nice job. Question. What is the transmission you using on your jeep?
Thanks for the good words, Mauricio. The transmission is a T-18, the transfer case is a Dana-Spicer 20. Cheers,
Love the jeep , what size are the KO2's
We do too! The tires are 32x11.5R15s.
Just wondering if y'all had ever decided on whether you're going to take that trip again it is one that i would love to do
Hey Johnny, thanks for the feedback, and yes, we are sure we'll do Jamboree again...it's in Collard's backyard:)
What happened to Pewe?
Mr. Péwé was supposed to join Chris for this one, but was tied up with building his new shop and inspectors. We are hoping he gives us a walk -around when it's done.
@@Gone_Gpn the shop looks good from the road!
How many cj5s we're out there roughly?
A few, and a few flat fenders, but mostly newer JKs and JLs these days.
I never wheel my Rubicon with immature idiots who ingested drugs/alcohol just a few hours before.
Yup, that's a good rule
