Joshua Tree to Berdoo Canyon Solo Trip | RUGGED OVERLAND
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2023
- In this trip that I managed to squeeze out of a bachelor party weekend, I explore the Joshua Tree National Park and make my way into Berdoo Canyon for some camping just outside the national park gates.
I wasn’t able to get the time I would have liked to really explore and see what other camp spots I could have found but I still had an amazing time and was able to see some beautiful scenery, some desert wildlife, and just embrace the magic of the desert in the month of June which to my surprise wasn’t as hot as I was expecting. Hope you enjoy the video.

I have a 1992 Toyota extra cab 4x4 never have an issue with alignment, so far almost 400,000 miles
Thats a beautiful truck brotha! Simple and badass
Thanks man I appreciate it 🤙🏽
Yo-you shared unreal trip. goodnight.
Great video
Awesome video!
Cool vid... tks for sharing. I got to get out there soon
Like your Rig,, just the way I will do my, great job
Thank you sir. Everything has a solid purpose on the build, other than maybe taking the axe with me to the desert this trip but you know what I mean. Might add a water port for my water solution or build a diy pvc one for rinsing off dishes and washing your hands at camp, but other than that I feel pretty happy with it. Oh lastly an awning is necessary for sure.
Great Video, just subscribed to see more..
Thank you much appreciated 🙏🏽
Great looking rig man!!
I have a camper shell and have been highly considering putting a RTT on top of it, but I keep seeing people switch away from that setup to bed racks instead. Does the setup really perform that poorly on the trail with the camper shell+RTT combo?
It really depends on what kind of trails you typically go on. If you wanna do some easy pretty much flat trails with nothing to crazy for obstacles you will be fine. I thing it’s a great setup since you can fit all the gear you want in it and lock it up, and you can customize the inside to your liking in terms of kitchen drawers, fridge slide out, even a little seating area it the weather gets bad while you’re hanging out. But from my experience, going on some tougher trails, still nothing crazy but enough to get you off camber, there’s more of a pucker factor when at those points of a trail. Also the MPGs take a hit on the highway with the wind pulling on the camper shell. That’s my reason for switching to a bed rack setup but recently I’ve been seeing a lot of these GFC, topo toppers and super Pacifics and it looks like this might be the best option. The GFC and topotopper are the lightest on the market and having the tent up top nice and slim keep the wind drag to a minimum and you still have a whole camper shell for your gear. I honestly thing I’ll be switching to that once I could afford it. Which probably won’t be for a few years. That being said, I love he bed rack and RTT setup a lot. Does everything in want it to do, simple, and I can still lock my stuff when I need to.
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles dude, thanks for the in depth reply! That makes a lot of sense.
I'm getting about 13MPG now on my 2014 TRD Off-Road on 33's, so going down from there would not be great...haha!
I'm in Arizona, so most the trails I do are very rutted out, rocky, and put you off camber, not flat trails really. The trails can get pretty gnarly compared to if I was just taking it up camping or something on the highway and a forest road. I'll have to keep thinking if adding the RTT on top of my camper is worth it then, I don't want to be super top heavy.
The GoFastCampers look so nice! MY brother-in-law just got one and it's sick! Expensive though....
@@chadwin MPGs hurt a little but it’s something we have to deal with at the end of the day if this is a hobby or lifestyle you wanna live. I did regear my differentials to. 5.29 nitro gears and that’s helped tremendously with MPG. I hear you on the coat on the GFC which personally I would go with the TopoTopper because it’s more customizable from the factory and it’s a smaller company which I like. They’re about the same price, maybe GFC is a bit more depending on how much you want to mod the topotopper, and if you add the price of a good RTT and solid bed rack, you’re not too far from the total price of a Topotopper. I feel like if I would have been a bit more patient I probably would have waited a bit longer before getting my bed setup now and got the TopoTopper.
What psi did you air down too?
Enjoyed your video! Love JT but never hit the 4x4 trials since I didn’t have a capable rig. Now I do! Curious on which Viair you have and 4 way hookup?
Thanks for watching! I have the Viair 450 P If I remember correctly. And the hose system I got from Runnin4Tacos
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles thanks! How do you like camping solo? I usually camp with my wife but thinking about a solo trip
@@virtualjeff99 I prefer to go with my wife and my 87lb staffy as well just because it doesn’t get as boring. I rather share those moments with loved ones but in this trip in particular the whole point for going down to SoCal was for a friends bachelor party so solo trip was the only way.
On your way down from your campsite, I feel like someone dug those four hole gap just to make it difficult to get up there, but you hand no issue.
I’m not sure but it could be. Could also be from people going up and down after the rainy season just getting washed out like that or people getting stuck and spinning wheels. Either way I was able to go up and down with no issues, wish i would have recorded the way up. It was more exciting than the way down.
Thats me. I do that lol. I go up in 2wd traction off, and try to dig out as much as i can. Gotta dig out the north side more, too easy to get up.
Bad ass rig!!!!!! Need to look into the lighting company
Roof rack lights are from @desertarmorshop & hood/ditch lights are from Baja designs 🤙🏽
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles would you be able to do a how to on how you mounted your lights to the roof rack?
@@otterthrash mmm probably won’t take them off just to put them back on to be honest but I can do a short showing them up close and the basics of how they’re mounted
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles yeah that would be cool
Nice video 👍🏼💪🏼
Do you need a special pass to enter these areas?
So you need to pay to enter Joshua Tree National park in a vehicle which is mandatory for this trail since 80% of it is inside the national park.
I'm heading out today or tomorrow if anyone interested. 
what version of the DA lights did you get? I see three different ones on the DA website.
Since I got 8 total I went with the cheapest option and honestly they didn’t disappoint… yet. Only thing I noticed about these specifically is that the mounting hardware they give you for them rust out almost immediately, so if I would have known I would have given them a coat of black paint or something to try and prevent it. But light output is solid, maybe not as amazing as some Baja designs or heretic but it’s good light for the price.

You can see how bright they are if you watch this video, I use them on a night run in Mendocino.
Who makes that hitch step?
WarFab hitch skid. Pretty solid piece. 🤙🏽
all is good but please movement camera slowly , thank you
I tell myself the same thing when I start editing 😂. It’s a learning process
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles ok , don’t worry . I will wait for next your good video ,
