What a beautiful property and view. Glad made it home safe. I drive propane transport tanker from So Cal, Barstow, and at times to Bishop and Mammoth. I have used Britts time back for bolt in my semi drive tire. Good people.
Well, I’ve had a few wheel studs snap off. Usually over stressed or loose. I know, not much help but rounding out the holes is usually an indication of being loose. Ask me how I know! Glad you two were able to spend a few days up in Idaho. Cheers!!
I completely agree with your key to long distance driving. Getting in an early start. Being able to get where you're going with daylight left to set up, kick back for a while and relax.
i was on my annual summer tour 6 years ago, in idaho hitting challis for grocerys and bevrages and fuel, 3000 miles in and just leaving town to the south entered a narrow and realized rt rear wheel coming loose, as i got stopped against the wall, the wheel only had 2 studs remaining, at that moment a fed ex truck stoppped to help, used his truck to deter oncoming traffic as road width was reduced to barely one lane, as a mechanic myself, pulled out a long half inch extention and with the small sledge popped all eight studs out, then went road side popped 4 out of other axle, and within 15 minutes was driving back to challis looking for studs, carquest showed some in salmon, 65 miles, im carrying a dualsport motorcycle not only for fun, but this emergency, as i was riding out of rv park next am i see napa close by, go in and 20 minutes later got 24 studs and nuts, of course i carry extra now for both ends, my 1990 dodge w250 cummins diesel with 4 wheel poptop camper is now 500k on the odometer and rolling like it did the day it rolled off the showroom floor, we do 6 weeks every year form august through september, were going back up this next summer, have you been to kirkham hot springs?
Nice to be able to leave a place like what you folks have in Idaho and come back to it and find it in the same shape that you left it. I couldn't do that with my property here in California.
Our property taxes as a percentage of value are a fraction compared to our property in California. Cost of living is lower in a lot of areas, such as gas/fuel. But since most of our time is spent at our California house, we don't get the benefit as much as we may otherwise would.
Thanks for your reply. I have a home in CA also, but I’m looking to do something similar except I will be purposely changing my address of residence to another state. I love the state of California (it’s beautiful) but can’t stomach anymore how it’s being governed into the ground and wasting taxpayer dollars.
Awesome video glad you guys made it to Idaho safely. Those drone shots over the property above the clouds were incredible! Looking forward to getting together in 2024!
Glad you were able to get back to your property. There is a quicker way to get there from the praire side, not sure if you know that way yet, instead of going by the river. You just missed the beautiful weather, it was -23 haha. Looking forward to the video on the other channel
There's no way that wheel was "torqued to specs". Wheels don't just fall off. It was either left loose or someone loosened it for you. Possibly someone started trying to rob your wheels, but they never just fall off. On top of that 4 out of five would get you home without a problem as long as the threads on the remaining studs were in tact. There would be no need to deviate direction.
The Idaho property looks amazing with the wintery snow/fog mix in the background. BTW, any plans to add solar to the shop roof and a powerbank? As for your loose lugs..... my son had some azzhole that knows him loosen his lugs on one front tire of my old '97 Taco. My son caught it pretty quick thinking it was a wobbly CV as he noticed grease everywhere and the boot was split (old age). As he jacked the truck up to remove the tire to investigate more, he found all the nuts loose. Luckly for him, he didn't drive too far on the loose nuts and didn't do any damage. We have since replaced the CV axle and saved the old one to reboot this spring for a spare. I think had he driven further and long enough to waddle out the wheel holes as the nuts loosen more, the leverage of the tire against one of the loose lugs could/would be enough to snap a lug stud. You caught yours just in time before a major disaster could occur. As for the azzhole that loosened them on my son's truck, he is an ex boyfriend of my son's girlfriend, but currently dating one of her other friends. He has been properly warned that I own this truck, and I will spend the required time, effort and money making sure he goes to jail if he ever touches anything of mine or my sons ever again. Screwing with lug nuts on a vehicle is a very dangerous venture to persue, and could possibly be seen as attempted murder if an accident came of it.
Good to see you guys got back up to Idaho. The scenery in your neck of the woods there is spectacular. Clouds down in the valley in in the drone footage is amazing. Pretty sure you forgot to tighten up the lug nuts on that wheel. I made that mistake myself with identical results on my old beater chevy truck I had back in high school except my steel stock rim was still ok, but the studs were toast. I discovered my mistake when one of the studs sheared off and started rattling around inside the hub cap - ha! Took me a little bit to figure out what was going on since I only would hear when going slow otherwise the centrifugal force above ~20 or so mph would pin it against the inside of the hubcap, and it would get quiet again. I felt like an idiot, but so glad I didn't lose the wheel and have something much worse happen. On little distraction/interruption while you're working on something is all it takes. The good news is you'll likely only make that mistake once in your lifetime. Knock on wood, that's how it turned out for me. I think that was probably 43 years ago and a lot of tire changes since then! Take care my friends!
I loved seeing you guys back at your old/new Idaho property, I've got to imagine that it was a more emotional experience than what was conveyed. I also think this video is a great reminder of how not everything goes according to plan and that you just gotta roll with the punches sometimes. Daniel as on older dude, I really appreciate how you make everything look easy on your channel and everything seems so perfect, Goals! But you sharing this experience makes it all so much more dang relatable. Thanks for everything.
Arch - You're right. It was indeed an emotional experience but one we needed. All the memories of all the hard work we poured into that place really allowed us to reflect on how appreciative we are to have the property. We hope one day we can spend much more time there....Have a great weekend Arch and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for sharing your journey. We did that drive over summer as a family, loved reliving a bit of it. Did you notice when you leave Nevada and cut through Oregon that the road was absolutely horrible then turns amazing right as you cross into Idaho! Again thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Marge - Thanks so much! The thought had crossed our mind to sell it...but we hope that one day we will find a way to be able to split our time at the minimum between Idaho and Calif. Thanks for watching
Yes have experience with lug nuts breaking at speed with tire falling off. Went and ran the rubicon and on the way home drove like crap, made a appt for next day to have shop look at and 1/2 there wheel spacer lugs all snapped off with tire passing jeep. Cost about $3k and took a week to repair.
Glad you two are safe. Enjoying watching your video during my lunchtime. It’s 5 o clock somewhere. Happy travels and happy Friday. Look forward to more videos
Wow, That's an adventure. You are a calm and collective dude, I would have been using that F-word left and right. Good job Daniel. I'm surprised nobody stopped to help you out with you guys being the celebrity couple that you are. Joking aside, I'm so glad you guys made it safe and sound and that you were able to spend some alone time together on your beautiful property. I will admit, I got kinda choked up a little seeing you guys arrive at the Idaho place. Thanks for sharing! Cant wait to camp with you guys again.🙂 Mike & Mary
Thanks Mike. It was indeed nice to be back and enjoy the property. Lots of memories of hard work sweat blood and tears were poured into our little homestead....Can't wait to see you guys in Quartzsite!
When I rotate the tires on my truck or my wife's Jeep, I torque them at least three, and sometimes four times. Last weekend, I did the ball joints on the Jeep and went around three times before I was satisfied. I go around the pattern cross tightening repeatedly until the torque wrench hits the mark twice without any movement on any stud. As you go around the pattern, tightening, the ones you have already done may loosen a little as the wheel settles. If you can bring it to torque without putting the vehicle on the ground, all the better. Also, NEVER crank it down with an impact. You can run it down snug, but never close to the torque spec. Doing this may lead to a wheel that is just a little off and then settles, especially if you have hub-centric wheels. Broken studs are often from over-tightening, or can be from a loose wheel. Finally, you should re-torque your wheels after 25 miles because they can loosen a bit. I check torque and tire pressure on our vehicles about every two weeks. Since you guys wheel and travel a lot, you might add some good quality studs, extra nuts, and what you need to change one to your tools. And... I think the owner's manual specs 130 ft/lbs which seems excessive for a 1/2 stud. I tighten to 90. If I were going to use 130, I would do it in two stages. Round 1, 80 ft/lbs. Round 2, take it to 130 ft/lbs.
Hi Mike - The bag is made by NB Expeditions out of Canada...which is great...and the boards are secured to the spare tire using ROK straps. They are flat flexible securing straps. Adds a little weight to the tailgate...but no too bad. Have a great weekend.
Over tightening is a main cause for lug nuts braking, check your torque specs. 👍 Happy nothing serious happened en route. Another great video non the less, 👍👍
Thanks Tony. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how well this would be received due to the lack of camping/overlanding content....Have a great weekend!
Yah, the pup really enjoyed herself. And so did we. We just went up for a little visit to check on our place and visit with friends over Christmas break. The hop one day is we will be able to spend much more time up there. Happy trails and thanks for the comment Gary!
Daniel, I had a tire come off the rear of a3/4 truck while I was towing a 40 ft flat bed goose trailer. Studswereallbroken off requiring a two hour tow back to ou shop. It happened because the crew put on new tires and failed to torque one wheel user error, costing us $1850 tow, new wheel, brake rotor and new studs and lug nuts.
Hi Bill - That sounds awful. We are lucky that we didn't lose the tire. Lesson learned on my end to double check all the lugnuts. Have a great weekend and thanks for leaving a comment.
As long as the dog gets food it doesn't matter. Dogs are always looking at you eat regardless if they had food already or not. You need a life if that is what you worry about

Perez tires in Bishop 👍
We tried. They weren't able to help us...
How about them Cowboys!!! Great Flag in a Great building.
Glad ya’all got up there! OMG!! A year? Wow! Looking forward to mamagoose’s vid!
A year Fred. Can you believe it. It was so great to be back up there. She's working on the video. She should be releasing it soon.
Glad you guys caught the tire issue in time...Always happy to see your adventures. Safe travels always.
Us too! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Do you guys run wheel spacers?
@@scottymac5174I doubt it
No wheel spacers…
I completely agree with your key to long distance driving. Getting in an early start. Being able to get where you're going with daylight left to set up, kick back for a while and relax.
Its imperative..otherwise by the time it starts getting dark my mind starts playing games with me...
Didn’t know you are a saltwater fisherman. Any stories about the yellow and grouper mounts?

How’s the taxes and cost of living in Idaho vs California? Many of your Californian followers wanting to escape California would be curious to know.
Our property taxes as a percentage of value are a fraction compared to our property in California. Cost of living is lower in a lot of areas, such as gas/fuel. But since most of our time is spent at our California house, we don't get the benefit as much as we may otherwise would.

glad you admitted you missed a tire. the most likely cause.
Awesome video glad you guys made it to Idaho safely. Those drone shots over the property above the clouds were incredible! Looking forward to getting together in 2024!
Thanks Mike. As much as I wanted to drop into the clouds with the drone, I was a bit nervous for some reason. LOL

Thanks for the tip! Yah, we got out of there just in time. Glad we missed that cold spell. 🥶
What town in Idaho?
We're just outside a little town called Kamiah...
It's colder than a miner's lunch pail lol

Thank you. We think so too. Just wish we had the opportunity to spend more time up there. One day. Thanks for leaving a comment. Happy Trails
Ya feel ya. After I rotate and hand torque, I re-torque after my first day's travel. It makes me feel better, too.

Had all my lugs sheer off except one near Amarillo on our way to Colorado! Tire was barely on! Scary for sure.
Right! I was for sure less than a mile from finding out what would have happened....Happy Trails

All my issues thus far are self inflicted. Otherwise, our Jeep has been golden!
