I literally live 5 minutes away from this trail and never knew it was this good of of a drive. I did it today. We actually have a lot of nice jeep trails out here, you guys have to Gome check them out!
To TFLCar:
Every time you call a jeep a car, a kitten dies 😂
I live in southern New Mexico at 7000ft AND am the proud new owner of a '16 Rubicon so definitely appreciate these videos. Keep up the good work y'all.
That's what's great about a 4 door diesel truck when It gets cold fire her up and let it idle and sleep 2 comfortable no problem. One in front and one in back. I do this quite often at off road events when it gets too cold for tent camping 🖒
Wow great videos so far guys! I look forward to the next one! In Jeep we trust
Nathan, that spooning comment was the funniest thing I have heard on any of your channels.
Great video, can't wait for the next monday! :)
beautiful state
I love watching you Nate. I can't believe I haven't been following you until now!
My cousin and I took Route 66 last August for 10 days in his 08 JK unlimited all the way from Santa Monica back up to Chicago (the real old Route 66) Williams Arizona was the quintessential route66 town, the roads were horrible, we got lost in the Mohave desert after a blown out bridge made us go down in a canyon and almost died, Slept in teepees... It was awesome, never NEVER would have made it back in a car, washed out roads wild dogs and horses it was the best trip of my life. HIGHLY recommend you guys stick with it! We downloaded an app to take the original route ... Let me know when you get to OHIO! I already looked up the highest spot to meet you guys! I've got a 95 YJ with a VW TDI in it and an old 76 Willys Mitsubishi diesel J54! Shouldn't have trouble finding ya!!! I want that BUCKLE!!!!!:) and meeting you guys would be AWESOME!!!! Keep it up!!!!
Hell yeah, you guys finally came to New Mexico!
I don't think I would want to sleep in the same tent as Nathan... especially if he ate a burrito =)
Keep up the great videos. I love the Jeep vids and the Ike gauntlet towing reviews!
Thanks for not forgetting about the Mother Road!
Hey guys. I hope you both bought stock in Jeep before you made this series cause you have surely sent sales through the roof. I love the wrangler and even I'm amazed at what you guys are doing with a stock rubi with a trailer. I can't wait to get mine! You guys are awesome !
One word : fantastic
So I've been 50/50 on your vids but still enjoying what your doing
The most beautiful state in the nation. So great, it has it's own magazine. Thanks for the video, boys!
New Mexico is definitely not the most beautiful, live here and been just about everywhere. It does have great history though!
That camper looked huge in the first scene and then I saw the side profile lol
I know this was 4yrs ago, but I was recovering from surgery and forgot about it.
Really Roman?, coming from Colorado you complain about New Mexico cold! Ever heard of long johns and bag liners? When you talk about Rt.66, you have to talk about which route, ALWAYS! Glad you had fun! Wheeler Peak, ,N.M. highest pt. 13,159ft. elev.. There is lots more great off road in N.M.. Thank you for finally visiting.
First off the sandias are in Albuquerque and 2nd iv taken a 2 wheel drive gmc Sierra up that with no problems that hill is not the hardest trail by far in NM
I spy the soft top still in the factory shipping in the back. You know, from the dual top group where the bright orange sticker says it voids the warranty to leave them both installed at once. The next owner's going to love that!
I love offroad vehicules....had two defenders and a Series3 but nowadays it just isn't reasonable anymore to drive one!
Maybe when we get good ev-offroaders I will buy one again !
Hi guys, I just wondering the renegade Trailhawk could drive on this old Route 66 rocky part?
Great video guys... I'm a big fan, one thing I noticed is that you guy didn't deflated the tires to ensure better grip and prevent punctures!!! I'm a U.S. Expat living in Australia... Your videos bring joy and memories of my old stumping grounds of Arizona, California and New Mexico!!!
Carlos Fortuna Hi Carlos. Yep, we opted to keep the tires at their regular levels. Anything more challenging than that, we would have aired down 10 psi or so. We were on a tight schedule and had to drive 200 miles directly after filming. Still, it would have been a smarter plan to air down. Thanks for watching and g'day!
If you have a windows computer, use printscrn, its to the right of F12 key, and then paste into paint or a program that can open images
Wouldn't a Rubicon two-door technically be MORE off-road worthy than the Unlimited version, since it's lighter, smaller, more maneuverable and has a better breakover?
In tight spots, yes, but for climbing something really steep, the longer wheelbase is actually preferable. It also allows a bigger lift without getting too extreme on your drivline angles. For tight turns and not scraping your belly though, you're right that a shorter vehicle is better. Just not better at everything
Easier to flip the 2 doors.
no,2 door or swb are useless.longer the better,to a point.i have no probs with my 2002 s/duty.3" lift,35,s.makes mole hills out of swb mountains.
Loving this, and still amazed that you guys are attempting this feat. So impressive! I look forward to you coming over to New York and meeting you at the high peak here. I watch your channel every day, and hopefully I have at least a few days advanced notice as to when you will be in my area. I would love to meet you guys and buy you a beer up in high peak country. Keep me in the NY loop and you will meet up with a Diesel GC (mine), a 4 door Wranger, and maybe just maybe a Rengade!
Zac Williams Thanks for the kind words. We'll try to have a meet-up in New York. Please stay-tuned to TFLcar.com for complete details and dates as soon as we have the final MMUSA schedule
you guys should do something similar, but with the new f150. Going off roading the same way video as the jeep. if possible with the FX4 package.
Why did you purchase the extensions if you couldn't get the space heater??
I was born in '61 so I'm to young to remember the TV Route 66, series but wasn't it done in a first generation Corvette? Did it only take place in California? Otherwise, how did they handle the terrain?
Would a trail rated Jeep Liberty 2013 do this
They have plenty of light weight travel trailers under the 3500lbs tow capacity that have ac and heat.
Who ever hooked the trl has the power cord dragon
How do you guys like the head liners in the wrangler now that you have driven it a while?im considering getting them for my rubicon.
They make the cabin very quit, especially on the highway.
Sorry, I've never been there, or probably never get a chance to do it, but, omg that's a walk in the park trail. Pulling a trailer ok, more hard. But a stock Samurai could do what I seen in the video W/O trailer
What do you use to film a Jeep Wrangler going off road?...
Hint, it has a big blue oval on its front.
The raptor
Did anybody find the new medico belt buckle?
Next time try the road to Goose Lake , outside of Red River. It's more of a challenge than the paved Sandia Crest road., and higher too. That's probably the best 4x4/highest road in the state.
LOVE NM!!
Great video, Thanks! What veh's did the camera crew use?
You could see the Raptor in one shot.
4low and lockers for that, not sure if the video really makes it look that push over or, here in australia you would probably die from our tracks we take in 2H xD
What is the name and make of the trailer.
how bout a link for that pull behind tent..lol...I love it where to buy it??
OMG, dude, don't wasn't your money.... for about a fifth of the cost, you can put on a Gobi rack with a pretty nice roof tent, have $10K left over for other great accessories, and you're not dragging an anchor around.
Highest PAVED road. Sandia Crest is an easy drive in any vehicle, you can go on higher roads on dirt or gravel, even in NM
What's the difference between low and high?
What was your chase vehicle?
What, I am watching a recent video? Hmm,
FIRRRSSSSSTTTTT!!!!! :P
Ryan LeFevre Congratulations ‼️🎉🎈🎆
Sorry if this has already been asked; but what are those black inserts on the freedom top. Is that how they come now or is that something that you guys added.
CPAR15 It's an optional accessory.
to make it quieter
What kind of car are they using for the follow vehicle?
Looks like the raptor.
Lifted 33s thank God for jerry cans and a winch!!!
zD Lin Yes, the Renegade Trailhawk would handle this road - no problem. Its small size would make it ideal for some of the obstacles. Cheers!
I just had a palovian response to the Hoonivere theme music
Brendan A. MacWade That's Pavlovian, you meringue-based old dog. And, shouldn't it be Hooniverse ? 🐕🐩🐶🐺.
I arrived at 15:30 hours on 05/02/15. Cache is no longer there. Minor trail damage to my 15 xterra 4x. Have photo proof of location. No fair putting things behind latched gates TFL.
Hey, Nathan, is this the route you're going to take ?
Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
🎸🎷🎤
MrKeyboardCommando Only if we're going to motor west.
nathan adlen Well, if you are, it's the way I'd go, because it's the best. 😉🎼
Do you think the Cherokee Trailhawk or the Renegade Trailhawk could make it through that rocky section of Route 66 that you were on?
Yes but not pulling a camper.
The Fast Lane Car not even the cherokee with the 3.2L?
I suppose its possible that pulling a trailer while doing that level of off-roading would just put too much stress on the car.
Wish i could afford to buy that Jeep.
When we pause the video to get the coordinates it puts the play symbol right over the top of the numbers. Is there away to put the coordinates in the comments?
Here you go N 35 32.951 and W 106 13.716
Drew Peters also here: www.tflcar.com/2015/04/motor-mountain-usa-off-road-route-66-in-new-mexico-video/
Thanks guys. Awesome videos btw.
The Fast Lane Car Closest I could get in my x was; W 106 13'43.0" N35 32'58.7"
The buckle is definitely gone, sad no one sent TFL confirmation. I was just there today, figured it was gone but wanted to make the trip anyway. Had the video with me and was standing in the exact same spot. Great trail though for the history and the views there are two different paths you can take once you are halfway up. I took one up and the other down. It is not a very difficult trail but I would not take anything stock up it besides certain trail ready productions like a JK or FJ cruiser. I have an XJ with a 3" lift and 33s. The hardest sections are not shown in the video.
This is not the highest drivable point in NM. La Mosca Lookout at 11,036'. Drove up there last Friday.
Does Anybody know the name or type of that Trailer, Camper ? Dying to know.
+soroush valim It is a Jeep camper that you can buy through the parts department at a Jeep Dealership.
Did you see how horribly that camper tracked behind that jeep while they were on the highway? Sketchy at best.. I looked into them online and I thought they were very pricey. There are several other trailers built for the off-road life. Check out SoCal, there are some nice ones there.
Yeah they go for like 15g, not worth it.
Great video👏👏 but soooo many adverts. Even when you ‘skip advert’ another appears straight away! Come on UA-cam. 😠
Nathan nodded to the driver of the vehicle behind him. Camera crew or just another person off roaring?
They are in the same team, is the blue ford Raptor (I guess)
Its their camera guy #raptor
Where can u get a jeep camper at
Over a year later and I would also like to know.
I don't think a Renagade would do that trail unscathed.
your final episode should be driving at the highest point in the country
I want to see if they can get the Jeep up Mt. McKinley. Now that would be something!
🇨🇦
has anyone found this belt buckle yet?
Yes. This one was already found.
darn
youve got the north face jacket so now get the north face heavy weight polypropylene thermal long underwear and you will never need a heater
I own a jk 2 door and that is not off rd im surprised u even put it in 4wd ill pay for your trip to australia just to show what a stock jeep can do
Hopping in Gallup because beginning of the month all the natives get their checks lol.
150 years ago, somebody invented the Hot Water Bottle!
the iPhone generation doesn't know about them! Please send a modest fee for my advice :)
.
Listening to these guys gush endlessly about the wrangler is too much even for me and I'm a wrangler owner.
not a hard trail at all haha
There's nothing to call Off road there......I don't know how much weight is the trailer, but I'm pretty sure my 47 yo LR can take it and it has no lock differentials or sway bars.... disappointed..... I wanna see that Jeep doing real stuff
We get this comment a lot but before you get too confident about the degree of difficulty we would suggest you take you car up a hill pulling a 1200 pound trailer and see how easy it, or not, it really is.
I've done it... steeper hill and heavier weight... 800 kgs (1600 poud) that's why I feel disappointed.... I know you can get a lot more from that Jeep.... and I want to see the that.... The Fast Lane Car I know I'm not the only one waiting to see one real off road test...
Respectfully, guys, he's right. I'll give you the added difficulty of towing the trailer off-road, but that was not even a moderate trail for a Jeep, especially a 10A Rubi. There was no reason to activate the lockers, which should only be used to clear specific obstacles, anyway. Running an entire trail locked like that can break some very nice, expensive parts.
ev et
those little jeep trailers are way over priced for what they are and what you get.
C Steele jeep decals don't come cheap!
Sorry, this is not the highest road in New Mexico.
Stop reusing footage
