    Your 2 years younger than me, knowing that, and your career, I'm thoroughly impressed. Monster truck, rock crawling and other motor sports. Very impressed. I will say the thing I'm most impressed with is your mom with 2 kids and a degree from byu. Which says a ton. It's amazing that you grew up in so cal and stayed good and clean get your education and then be in motor sports for a living where staying clean is very difficult. Ctr. Your a stud. I love what you do and how good you are!!! Great example to all of us. Idaho here.

    At about 15:36 Jason tells Nicole that she can cruise some more or do whatever she wants. A few seconds later he says,ok, that's 80 MPH. OMG, gotta love it. Even though Nicole's knowledge and driving skills are phenomenal, her personality and enthusiasm keep me coming back for more and more of her video's. And I have to compliment her whole production crew for the super professional videos. I know that a quality 30 minute video like this is the result of a ton of woman/man hours of work. WOW! YES YES YES !

      Yep, it has a lot of power and capability. The last time I raced King of the Hammers in 2010, we were in the car 10 hrs and 47 minutes from start to the finish line, and I think I blinked 6 times. LOL It's about constantly scanning and reading the terrain, and picking a line. My car was never capable of the kind of speeds we could hit in Jason's, which is why I wore my glasses. I knew that terrain would be flying at me and I wanted to see it clearly! Thank you for watching!

Watching you drive through the course was a lot of fun and brought back memories of my youth running around dirt roads here in Michigan, from hard pack gravel in the south to sand trails in the north and the dunes on lake Michigan in the west.

      Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we do put a lot into it. There's travel, then a full day of shooting, and over 140 hours of post production work with editing, color grading, audio mixing, captions, writing descriptions and making the thumbnail image. So far it's all on our own dime with no sponsors. The longer episode is a risk, as we hope people will stay engaged. I appreciate that you watched and commented!

    I'm just discovering Nicole this week because I am kind of "caught up" on my other favorite automotive 'tubers and was looking for something else to watch. I'm super happy to have found this channel and also sad that I have binged all of the Detour content already. The only thing I dislike is that every guy man-splains their car to her and they're all nervous when she's driving. I would have 100% trust in Nicole at the wheel of my car, no problem! PLEASE post new stuff Nicole!!!

    That suspension articulation is amazing to watch and then you realise that throughout the full range of travel, the drive is still being transmitted to the wheels at massive torque. Spectacular to watch, especially over the rocks, not even defeated when it has bellied out on a huge boulder. I found myself whistling through my teeth watching you drive through the technical sections 😳
    Well done to you and great encouragement from your new passenger

I don't know ....maybe some of your viewers really understand that Bronco makes all that look so easy just spent a weekend out at Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan with my Jeep came down hard off of a jump loosened a hydraulic PSC steering line lost power steering cracked the oil pan from an axle truss that hit it and blew out the clutch before the day was over was down for a day-and-a-half fixing everything then drove 400 miles up in the northern Michigan and went trail riding for 2 days it's all about the adventure and that's one thing that you always convey in your videos I absolutely love seeing you laugh and have a good time it's so genuine 😇 these vehicles are built so tough I'm looking at putting the Evo King coilover suspension lift system on my Jeep next 10 grand yikes but totally worth it !!!! I love 🧡 this video because it's exactly the direction that I would love to go not as extreme but who doesn't want to go rock climbing and trail riding but then hit the dunes and have a blast the very next day can't wait for the next adventure who knows where you'll take us next 🚣‍♀️ 🎢🚀🤩
