That's gotta be scary man. I'm glad no one was hurt. That's why you wheel with parts, tools AND friends. I love this series. Amazing scenery. Truly ineffable.
I almost cried. That was scary.
I'm glad Tim and the lady are ok. Give Tim a big hug for me.
Three days into the saga that is your trip and there's epic drama. Tis gonna be a good week, Matt.
Always learn something from BleepinJeep... Gotta keep spare parts and expect the unexpected! Glad nobody was hurt.
Outstanding video and good on Tyler for jumping right in there helping with the repair. I've seen guys on the trail just stand and watch. You are good people.
Awesome. Two words for the narrator "Audio Book"! This was very good in my opinion.
Thumbs up! For an awesome documentation of the HitR trail, coming from a person who’s run it recently. The history is one of the best parts. Sorry you guys didn’t get the best weather. It sure get’s nice at the end of monsoon season. Keep em comin
My Great Grandfather, George B. Hobbs was the pioneer that followed the mountain goat down 'Slick rocks' off of Grey Mesa. My son's Eagle Scout project was to install marker posts on this part of the trail that has since been bypassed. I've also gathered cattle from this area for the grazing lessee. Beautiful, rough country. Those pioneers were one tough bunch. Hope to return soon.
Man.... What a great trek.... The narration in combination with great footage, and history, makes for an outstanding story.... Thanks Tyler, that epic was awsome. And thanks to the whole Bleepin Jeep clan for making this trek.... It is not only intriguing, but inspiring... I hope to make it out there and see that landscape with you guys some time 😃
Once again, a little history, a little off-roading, friends and family. Thanks for another great video.
WOW!!! DANG!!! Spitzer story! Spooky, great story + history! Amazing the Jeep didn't roll...PTL✨ Holding my breath on some of those crossings, gravity issues ya know, especially with the Cherokee with the spare tire on top...yikes! 😕 great video and story + good info👍👍
Ghost stories in the desert. HELL YEA! I need to get back to the 4 corner area. Some of the most beautiful country. and "no people everywhere"
Tyler the greatest narrator
That XJ that broke the U-joint, one of the reasons I unlock the hubs before high speed blasting! The less stuff spinning the better!
I'm in New Mexico. Next time y'all go to Utah give us a shout. Always up for a off road trip. Love your videos
You are invited to EJS to ride with us... see last weeks video!
my 1982 wagoneer has manual hubs too... now i'm concerned mine will do this!
last time we went trailing, we had a YJ blow a front shaft in a D30. what we used to "seal" the axle was one of the dog's tennis balls and duct tape; almost identical to your fix!
as always, great work fellas! i have a piddly little channel as well and i know how time consuming editing can be, and im grateful for all the hard work and research!!
Loving the series guys and the history is fascinating, keep it up!! These have been some of my favorite videos by far!
I love watching the shop videos but this shows what it's all about. Great video guys!
Somebody has put a lot of time into researching the history of the area. Man, that's really cool. Nice recovery on the breakdown and your right, beautiful area!
I gotta say, this is amazing stuff guys. Some of the best jeeping and even the moments when you guys are all talking. Seems like you all get along good and this is awesome to watch.
Unbelievablely great quality...keep up the good work and man i love the grey ghost!
Love the views! One day I will make that run, till then thank you for a great video and experience.
Much luv
Scorpion makes it look easy. What a b.a rig!
best hole in the rock video I've seen. Love the history lessons. Brought back memories of my own trip. keep making the great videos
Story time with Bleeping jeep...Great work. Overcoming the breakdown and getting you're rig back in the game is part of the fun.
Absolute amazing story.
I am really enjoying the videos. I have been out west from Kentucky on a motorcycle twice. Stayed in Moab both times, but didn't get to do any off roading. Have fun and keep the videos coming! Tim in Kentucky
Love the history, narrative and camera work. Just an outstanding vid all around!!!
Lest not forget he was driving a long distance on front wheel drive to mats shop to work on rear driveshaft . Nice bed time story. Good job you guys.
Glad everyone is okay! Keep up with the history portion, it's interesting stuff!
What a great adventure, and like others have said great narrating! I really enjoyed the history of the trail.
From a northern neighbour (Squamish BC) fan of your channel keep up the great work and I hope to see more adventure stories like this!☺
Great story and I'm loving the narration and bits of history. Watch out history channel Bleepin Jeep is coming for ya.
As many have posted already, outstanding video, narrations, scenery and some pucker factor trails. Excellent work by all.
You guys need to do Fordyce trail. That's another serious test of man and machine.
Let's see a off road trailer build for the next bleepin jeep expedition!
Great series! Narration is excellent and so is the photography! I'm glad gramps got to drive the scorpion! Matt had said he couldn't on the trip out there, I had to laugh.
Awesome trip guys, my passenger side ujoint blew out on me in 2014 out at area bfe on the first trail of the day. The ears were trashed by the time I made it off the trail so I had to purchase new shafts for the 44 on my LJ Rubi. Luckily I had my truck and trailer in the parking lot to get me to town and get new shafts.
Great stuff! Good job on the quick bandaid on the green machine.
By far the best videos you guys have put out. Keep vids like this coming. Great job guys.
By the way. That gray xj is sex as hell.
11:45 sounds like maybe when Tyler's axle shaft u-joint broke
Great video, thanks for recording this trip.
Man can't wait for more! Also Tyler is a fantastic narrator.
This was one awesome 3 part series. Loved the narrative. Would love to make it out to take this trail one day.
Love the southwest history lesson. Thank you!
Really nice job Matt. I've ridden this since late 80's dirt bikes atv, sxs, and jeep. Incredible special place. Recently retired planning on sxs trip with wife (she has her own) and stay explore Comb Wash for couple of weeks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video! I'm loving this series. You guys make a great team. Keep it up.
Absolutely awesome video! Thanks for sharing. And the narration was really really good.
This series is awesome, more than I expected...
Awesome content guys! The front ford high pinion 44 in my XJ has actually did the same thing to me. Fortunately I was still on a trail so when it snagged it wasn't a big deal because I wasn't moving fast. It happened on a downhill section toward the end of Walden's Ridge (T75) at Windrock. I wonder if it's something with the Ford front axle.
Awesome! For some reason it reminded me of Dances with Wolves...
At least it didn’t remind you of broke back mtn
Great job. looking forward to the next video.
Another great show!
Very good job in all regards! Thanks for the production!
Scorpion took this like a boss and made it look so easy
Ya, the scorpion just rolled right over everything like it was child's play. That thing is awesome
Easy stuff for the scorpion... keep up the good work guys
Great series. Keep it up!
Such an educational video. On all fronts of the experience. I see some "BONDING" happening as well.
11:46 you hear a loud pop. Not sure why nobody stopped right there to check it but bet that's when that spot weld said bye bye
Great video 👍👍
Wow!!What a close one..
Loving the series, oddly the video ended so fast.
Man they just keep getting better!!
Thanks Jon! this series was really a labor of love
Guys! Awesome video! : )
Poop your pants hill is a appropriate name. I'm hoping to get my YJ and TJ out there sometime!
Can't wait to take the Rocky out there. When I get it finished I'll run it down so you can check it out.
Very good video
AWESOME!
Love the channel most of the time funny build vids. This is a serious overland experience on steroids! Still can't get my head around yall' fascination with XJ's. ( i have a JKU) Ive wheeled in that country ( not as extreme as this ) solo. I have a dim understanding of the consequence of a minor misstep. Glad your team of mechanics and redundant vehicles, and duck tape suspension repairs allowed your safe return rather than a skeleton monument for future hovercraft adventurers to muse over.
Ben Moore ever drive an XJ?? Infinite aftermarket support and hacks and upgrades throughout the years.
Without a doubt one of the best vehicles ever made.
WT Force you had me until your "...one of the best vehicles ever made" comment. Not going to deny the XJ's capabilities, but not having a solid frame is a huge factor. Off the showroom floor, the Jeep line offers many more trail ready, capable rigs that can hit the trails without tons of modifications. CJ, YJ, TJ, JK to name a few.
onetruebob_tj circa 2001 (last XJ) every article ever says so. Not just me saying it. I'm just gonna assume you've never driven a built xj but I respect your view.
WT Force Yes, I have, many times. Honestly, when I was searching for my next Jeep, I would have purchased an XJ if I knew my wife and daughter would be going wheeling with me. Instead, I bought a TJ Sport. I also respect your view. Jeep on!
love my xj
the yj looks like a pack of marlboros!!!
I bet mat can’t wait for the comancheap to be finished. lol for trips like this a closed in cab is nice, or by some pvc sheeting and make some quick bolt on body panels , and clear for the windows ... or hell use clear all around so you can still see all around!
Wish I had to help get mine fixed
sooooo good!
.... and I'm a Toyota guy...
Absolutely awesome video. I live this series I hope to see more Utah wheeling. But I can hardly hear anything anyone says when you narrating over.
Ujoint shaft throw away install cv-shaft glad no one was hurt God bless!
man you should narrate westerns for audio books
I think I would add a can of expanding foam and a plastic bag to my list of preps to line the inside of the axle tube and shoot the expanding foam in to that to form a plug to keep the oil in. Then do the duct tape thing to keep the elephants and sparrows out.
not a bad idea. We shoved 2 nitrile gloves full of paper towels and then shoved them in the axle tube before putting the duct tape on there. It worked pretty good.
Put a Styrofoam cup in the end of the axle. Then tape it. Seal it right up.
Awesome video!
Why so low sound on the "live" parts of the video?
Unfortunately our camera mics didn't pick up some of the sound very well. I tried to adjust it during editing, but just couldn't get it very loud in most places. Sorry!
Who's silver XJ is that? I love it. Is there a channel featuring it or any videos on it and it's mods?
Here's the walk-around I did for that jeep a year or two ago, go check it out for all the details: ua-cam.com/video/kGF2Kizmzzg/v-deo.html
BleepinJeep Thank you! I've got a '99 XJ and am looking to do some of the same things to it
cool :)
should'a took the time to take off each tire to hammer the hell out'a them wells,
me im saws-all happy to start !!!
Another great one. Great cinematography, good balance of wheeling, history, and narration better than some Hollywood documentaries. Tim glad you and Erin (? sorry tough to make out her name from Matt's introduction) made it through the excitement okay. That tack weld trick is another I will add to the long list of things I did not know.
Two questions if I may. It felt like I was there with you guys when going through some of the technical challenges because of the great camera work. Would it be possible to get a checklist of each vehicles equipment? Matt's rig looks like it could handle anything. Then you've got vehicles that look more like what most of us common people drive. It made me think how much more would I need to do to mine to make that trail? It would really be appreciated if you could name off the axles, lifts, tire sizes and any upgrades of each vehicle. I need a target to shoot some tax refund money at.
Feel free to ignore both questions but especially this next one. Your party had people in their 60's (?) to children with both genders represented. I hate to be that guy but uhh how did you handle the "nature calls" on a multi-day trip with no facilities with such a mix of people? . . . pause . . . Now that I type this out loud let's just forget the second question lol :)
Thanks again for the great work that went into this. Cheers.
Hey Tom, here's some links to walk-around videos we did for all the jeeps on this trip:Silver Cherokee: ua-cam.com/video/kGF2Kizmzzg/v-deo.htmlYJ Wrangler: ua-cam.com/video/aDR5NvAaJvgG/v-deo.htmlreen Cherokee: ua-cam.com/video/nh0r6I0SWRM/v-deo.htmlScorpion Crawler: ua-cam.com/video/kxNuJvDeCAs/v-deo.htmlThese vids go deep into detail on all the components we used in our builds. I hope that helps answer your question #1 but truthfully, you can do this trail with 31" tires if you have lockers. It's easier if you also have lower axle gears but I did this trail with 33" tires and 4:10 gears my very first time. Once I switched to 4.88 gears, though, I found it MUCH easier. Just FYI.Question #2 (no pun intended)We just send the guys to the left side of the trail and the girls to the right side... because girls are ALWAYS right! No, seriously, you just make frequent designated potty-break stops, especially with the little kids, and people are mature enough to give each other sufficient privacy to take care of business. One pointer though. Don't leave toilet paper in the desert. In the arid climate it NEVER biodegrades. I mean it. It will literally be there for years! Nobody wants the scenery ruined by white tufts of TP stuck in all the bushes. Pack that SH*T out or completely burn it please!
Haa haaa haaa. "Question #2 (no pun intended)" and "girls are ALWAYS right!"
We have a bit of age range and relations in our group so was curious how you handled question #2.
Checking out the links now. If BJ vids it will be a review. Thanks for putting them all in one place to answer the question.
I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee wj all wheel drive I'm putting four inch lift spings on do you know how thick the a arm spacer needs to be
not off the top of my head....sorry.
Great video! I'm having trouble hearing the audio. Is it just me?
Jon Rissman audio fell off,. I could barely hear. I was hoping they put in subtitles on that part of the segment.
........ So Timm..... Did you learn anything...... LOL.... Poor Timmy, getting picked on... even though, he would have been wise to paint his back bumper green and stay at the back of the pack... LOL
is the sound around 11:45 is the failure or what? the wheel is acting a bit strange before that?
Maybe so
I’m a little confused about the ujoint cap. I thought the snap ring held the cap in place. Maybe it’s different on the Ford ujoint?
Its supposed to yes.
BleepinJeep I’m new to off-roading. So the cap slips off even with the snap ring? The spot weld helps but still go sometimes? Wow!
By the way, been watching your videos a ton. Love the channel and appreciate the aspects of each personality. Keep on keepin on!
Wow lucky he didn't flip
The Bluetooth axle shaft trick
Hey Matt yogur dads Voice is just like johnny cash
It's the wild west ..
Min 11:46 pop on green machine.
What size tires was he running? Trimmed my fenders and have 35s but thinking of going to 33s.
33x12.50 R15's
Is it a 6.5 lift as well or smaller?
Full circle clip u joints.
Tim just plain ran out of time before the trip to do everything he wanted to, but maybe that's a mod he'll do down the road?
10:55 better let the old man know those fell off. Lol
PUt that set of balls back. Hahaha
Matt loves to get his hands on a good set of balls!
intros over at 1:43
Smokey marbles are literally true shit!
Davidb2784 at the risk of sounding like a nerd: www.livescience.com/47936-how-moqui-marbles-form.html
coach love the channel keep up the good work
So is this like the BJ attempt at doing what Expedition Overland has done?
I dunno, what do they do?
They have a video series of overlanding the entirety of the Pan American highway. From the very top of Canada, down to South America.
Can't believe I'm about to say this.......of course it was the Ford part failed......pains me to say that.....
Don't feel too bad, in reality it was the aftermarket u-joint that failed, not any actual Ford part. After we got to Moab, Tim was able to source some genuine Spicer parts to replace the axle and u-joint and he never had any more trouble with it.
BleepinJeep well yes but that's splitting hairs haha. Thank you though, I do feel a bit better.......
Thought I had subscribed to the history channel. More Jeep, less school
I COULD DO ALL THIS IN A STOCK TACOMA IF IT HAS CRAWL MODE
jk
Is this one gonna be about mormans or 4 wheeling?
did you watch it?
Ignorance is one of the biggest down fall of men.
BleepinJeep almost didn't after the last one
