Funny how other people put 10K-20K to deck out their rig to make it super off-road and never take it off-roading. B-Roll keeps it going with just the BF goodrich tires from what I see. Appreciate brother! Keep up the content and love the Xterra!
thanks bud, appreciate it! haven’t done any insane trails in awhile but there have definitely been a couple summits where everyone is decked to the max and looking at me like how tf did you get up here 😂 those are fun.
I've been watching our videos for years now. You've grown a lot! Thanks for doing what you do, you are frequently the only person with a decent video of places. Nice to see you in an Xterra as well!
appreciate it! picked up a new/temporary gig for about a month and then i’ll be back to it. was having car problems all year but got it all patched up and planning on some Moab trips soon 👍
just found this place on Google maps. Looked it up here on youtube and I'm so glad to have found this video. another great video and another place for my bucket list!!!
we had a great time, week long trip but i only filmed this trail completely. i was going to reshoot Tincup but they’ve graded it, it’s smooth sailing so i said screw it haha.
hey thanks for checking! it’s been… medium haha. hoping to turn my luck around and bag a couple trails before it’s too late but if not i’ll just be in Moab more often through winter. little bit of medical issues and after minimal car problems for years it’s all just been piling on at once. but we’ll get it patched up and hope to be back “soon.” in general though, can’t complain and had a great summer. hope the same for you 👍
yea the whole day was constantly changing, fast moving clouds. the plan was to camp at the top and film the other side the next day but i was already jamming and just kept filming. glad i did because the next day was totally different and i like this a lot better, there's a lot going on in the distance in a few shots. thanks for watching!
hope some of that snow near the gate aeea is still there in 3 weeks when I'm back there again . Past 2 years the snow was gone on the 1/4 mile section west of the gate just before the Sign
appreciate it! i definitely try to go a little more ham when the trail isn't obstacle-heavy with a bunch of shots. this is only 11 tripod shots which is very low, usually i want 25+ but most of this trail is just softball rocks that i'm going slow over so it'd be pretty boring to watch it all haha. that's where the drone comes in 👍
nice, car is in the shop… again… not mad i’m just having LOTS of things come all at once after having very few problems over 4yrs haha. kind of angry i filmed like 2 trails this entire year but it’s shouldn’t complain. my schedule is pretty unknown as of now, are you on the front range?
@@BRollOffroad what all is going sheets on it? I've had mine since 2016 and put almost 100,000 miles on it since then with not many issues, but I have upgraded the suspension quite a bit I know you're running mostly stock isn't that right? I'm on the front range I live in Longmont.
yea, OME lift and tires basically. steering rack rear wheel bearings brakes thermostat/hoses heater core battery tires 4wd electric motor spark plugs window regulator/motor pinion seal 240k on it and i’m probably forgetting a couple things haha but yea, before i get one thing going something else breaks. should be pretty good to go soon though.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the capabilities of a 4x4 Xterra vs the e350 4x4. obv very different rigs but I've been eying the van for a bit and currently have an xterra.
they’re very good, possibly better offroad than the X. the problem comes with size though, i may not be able to drive up that 2-3’ stair but the X is so small i have more line options and can get around it or just hook a rear tire or something. the trade off is.. well, size! my buddy can park and walk back to his bed and be done. he has a bunch of drawers accessible from the cab and ton of storage out back. basically if you need more space/convenience a van is a great option that can still handle most trails. if you’re happy with the X you just have to decide if the space is worth the $40k (minus sale of your X) to get into a van.
Headed to Skinner Hut - do you think a stock Jeep could make it up to the hut? Would normally just hike but someone in our group has a broken foot and is still trying to come.. Hoping to not strand them at Turquoise Lake alone!
i had a ton of car problems (nothing to get mad at, it has 250k miles) then made a career switch so i’ve been traveling a lot and super busy but it’s all good news 👍 i DO have 2 trails already filmed, trying to get a final edit on the first one done tonight actually. i also got a bike coming so some higher speed videos are probably in the future. thanks for checking on me though, back soon!
That's funny I just did that yesterday In my 2018 Subaru Forester I was taking it towards home I wanna go back and make my own video when I'm not headed home.
in this case i had done Hagerman 3 times before but 90% of the trails on this channel are my first time. i use TrailsOffroad for all the info i need, unaffiliated (although i did meet them and they’re a cool group) but it’s the best in my opinion. finding out what it can handle can only be done through trial and error but i offroaded for ~10yrs before starting this channel. i DO have a Hard Trails playlist if you wanna check that out and get an idea though. specs are: 33” tires 2” suspension lift no sway bars
@@MKAK47 no, we did it the "wrong way" because we were over there and headed that direction, we started in Gypsum headed to Buena Vista. it'd be more fun to go up the final shot (which is why i filmed it going up for the easter egg) and also up the water straddle and mud hole, but both ways are good.
i love it! definitely some cons but that’s the price of weight saving and it’s almost unnoticeable up there so i’ll take the 1min longer setup time any day. the wall fabric is so good, the straps for the cover become the tensioner for the door vent post, clever stuff. i was thinking of doing a review in case someone’s looking at a used one but i’m sure the new ones will be great.
as in - no other cars. Group means you’ll see at least one other vehicle throughout, all 179 videos are labeled. sometimes i have passengers or i’m meeting people at camp but unless there’s another truck in the video it’s Solo.
Got a lil brown and n your nose
Also, for anyone thinking about doing this trail, 2 track on the summit is NOT on the legal route, DO NOT TAKE IT.
remember Andy and i matching 😂
also, he’s right.

Yes I see lots of them out there. Not even 1 pinstrip which means no trails run.
J.P. , I rode my KTM1190r over Hagerman 2 years ago,this weekend,as part of the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route!!
whoa that’s sick! we went from Gypsum to Ridgway on this trip but had some more highway because trucks were breaking down.
I've been watching our videos for years now. You've grown a lot! Thanks for doing what you do, you are frequently the only person with a decent video of places. Nice to see you in an Xterra as well!
thanks you! i have two more trails filmed but i’ve just been working like crazy, trying to get them up soon 👍
Sick!!! Taking my Lifted VW Golf up Rollins Pass in acouple weeks. Your videos always get me more stoked to offroad in my incapable FWD car. hahaha
haha thanks and have fun!
Great video 👍
best offroading content!

oh sick! yea we’ve ran it about 5 times, good fun trail!
@@BRollOffroad seems ok for beginners. Saw a video of a guy in a Rav4 doing it. Gotta try it.
Welcome back! Great video, that's my hometown!!
sick! love Leadville, need to go more 👍
Awesome drone shots in this one, what a great looking trail
thank you! had good luck with the storm 👍
Loved the snow bank
thanks! it’s hard to tell but the scale is insane, the trees are a good reference.
Such a peaceful and beautiful scenery.
we had a great time, week long trip but i only filmed this trail completely. i was going to reshoot Tincup but they’ve graded it, it’s smooth sailing so i said screw it haha.
@@BRollOffroad week long ? Sweet 😉
we had our ups and downs but overall had a blast 👍
Another great job! I always look forward to watching your videos.
thanks as always Outlaw 👍👍
Hey Buddy, it's been awhile since we have seen you. Hope everything is going well and you had a great summer!

@@BRollOffroad Thanks for the thoughtful reply. On your team Brother. Gotta keep connected and concerned. See you on UA-cam soon. All the best.
Dude! Great to see you back 😀. Very fine video, really enjoyed it. Your drone footage is amazing.
thanks for always watching Mike 👍
super pretty, dark clouds at the end😍
yea the whole day was constantly changing, fast moving clouds. the plan was to camp at the top and film the other side the next day but i was already jamming and just kept filming. glad i did because the next day was totally different and i like this a lot better, there's a lot going on in the distance in a few shots. thanks for watching!
@@BRollOffroad absolutely, thanks for bringing us along. hoping to see you out there one day.
Breathtaking!
thanks! i’m glad there was still “some” snow up there 👍👍

well i have high hopes then, theres a lot up there! maybe we're on the other end of the drought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Always an amazing video! This trail looks amazing oh my god
yea it’s a good one, this was my 3rd or 4th time on it, won’t be the last 👍
Stunning !
thank you! i think i’ve run it 3x but the sky, double rainbows and wild flowers out in full force made this a special one.
Epic!
Nice videography!

@@BRollOffroad You're keeping rhe audience engaged!
Fellow Xterra enthusiast. would love to join you on some trails and meet other Nissan off-roaders in Colorado!

yea, OME lift and tires basically.
steering rack
rear wheel bearings
brakes
thermostat/hoses
heater core
battery
tires
4wd electric motor
spark plugs
window regulator/motor
pinion seal
240k on it and i’m probably forgetting a couple things haha but yea, before i get one thing going something else breaks. should be pretty good to go soon though.

Hey Buddy. Hope you are OK.
all good! took awhile to get here haha but hoping to make some vids in April when we start our slow season at work 👍 hope all is well with you too!
@@BRollOffroad All good. Just checking in. Take care.
Headed to Skinner Hut - do you think a stock Jeep could make it up to the hut? Would normally just hike but someone in our group has a broken foot and is still trying to come.. Hoping to not strand them at Turquoise Lake alone!
if Wrangler-type i assume so if the tires are good 👍
We did it in a stock Yukon a few years ago. We’re hoping to make it to betty bear in the same vehicle this weekend!
Hope to see you making videos again soon! It's been a year. Hope you're ok

@@BRollOffroad gonna have to hit this trail again this year
I was thinking, “hell yeah he’s back” but then realized I missed like 4 uploads in a row. Any ways turning on the bell I guess now.
haha nice, thanks man!
I don’t know why, but the same chit happens to me, 🤷♂️, and I really enjoy his drone content, his outlook on life and his OR Xterra.
hey thanks again!
How soaked did you get retrieving your camera after the creek crossing?
this was a case where i just reversed, unfortunately the sand was soft and i did sink and fill my right shoe haha.
Do you know what your getting into before hand? And how much can the Xterra handle?
in this case i had done Hagerman 3 times before but 90% of the trails on this channel are my first time. i use TrailsOffroad for all the info i need, unaffiliated (although i did meet them and they’re a cool group) but it’s the best in my opinion. finding out what it can handle can only be done through trial and error but i offroaded for ~10yrs before starting this channel. i DO have a Hard Trails playlist if you wanna check that out and get an idea though.
specs are:
33” tires
2” suspension lift
no sway bars
Gorgeous footage as always broll, what direction did you run the trail?
thanks! we ran it from the west towards Leadville, opposite of how TrailsOffroad has it.
@@BRollOffroad sweet, you think that direction was better than the outlined route?
@@MKAK47 no, we did it the "wrong way" because we were over there and headed that direction, we started in Gypsum headed to Buena Vista. it'd be more fun to go up the final shot (which is why i filmed it going up for the easter egg) and also up the water straddle and mud hole, but both ways are good.
@@BRollOffroad Gotcha, I will plan on running it how it's described in trailsoffroad for the ideal experience.
How do you like the GFC Superlite?
i love it! definitely some cons but that’s the price of weight saving and it’s almost unnoticeable up there so i’ll take the 1min longer setup time any day. the wall fabric is so good, the straps for the cover become the tensioner for the door vent post, clever stuff. i was thinking of doing a review in case someone’s looking at a used one but i’m sure the new ones will be great.
Any dispersed camping?
there are a couple spots I have seen on the east side and quite a few on the west side past Ivanhoe lake a few miles
Baker is my dad.
Looks like a 2wd road to me.
👍 i use 4LO at these elevations.
"Solo" 😂
