We had a 4runner, no hate at all. But i do know what they are capable of and what limits they have. If he took our same line there would have been all kinds of crazy wheel lift. His was on a long travel kit as well. It absolutly shows how no matter the vehicle the wrong line (like ours) can make a huge difference. But without the long travel kit he had, he probably would have scrapped the whole way down. We saw a big group of tacos and FJs on the trail that day, but they all king long travel setups.
I finally figured out how to watch these on my 65 inch in the bedroom Mileah and I caught up on several she was amazed at the views. And I gotta tell you it's so nice to watch on the big screen instead of being in the passenger seat with death 7 inches away. Love the shows and love doing it live even more. At my age a quick death is preferable anyway. Love the shows Dad
Great photography, good pacing. Loved the information you provide. My only gripe, and the reason I decided to comment: off-roaders complaining about rocky roads…. 🤦🏼
Haha I appreciate your comment! And i absolutly know what youre saying. It sounds stupid, but there are some parts that just suck ass and after an hour of the same bumpy section it gets to be a little much. But youre absolutly right.
Great video...definitely putting these 2 trails on my list & thanks for the suggestion on which direction to run them...I was in CO last week and ran the MSV & Coney Flats (which isn't so flat 🤣) trails....Coney was for sure a bouncy trail....although not as crazy as Eagle Rock near Colorado Springs....Keep up the vids!!!
Thanks for filming. We were scheduled to be there first week in August but trails were still closed. We had also scheduled Schofield Pass...thing. we re-routed to Moab instead.
True...IFS just doesn't cut it, despite what ZR2 & Bronco owners say. BTW, I would have moved that rock (13:43) out of the way, not just for me but for future drivers in this same spot. I carry a couple of Silky hand-saws for the same reason (removing small downed trees/low-limbs). "Jeep Wave" (I have one, too!) -- BR
This is a great question. As of now id say. 1. Black Bear 2. Pearl (I think Schofield might be 2 but we are doing it next week) 3. Imogen (might reverse 2/3 these they are close) 4. Wheeler Lake 5. Redcone 6. Engineer Idk though, the order is very subjective. These are probably my all time most beautiful though.
@@barelymadeit Thanks for the reply, I like your choices, I did not see in any of your videos your experience with Black Bear. Of those listed above, so far I have only done Engineer, but we have plans to do Pearl, Schofield, Imogene, so is very helpful to see your videos in advance as it helps me to pick which trails I want to do (there are so many trails in Colorado), thank you again for your videos😃
@@rickhollman4040 Absolutely! The problem with BlackBear is that we did it in a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk back in 2016 and Christian got out and cried the whole time because she for sure thought I was going to die. SOOO.... since then it's a a trail she has put on the NEVER AGAIN list. But we are going back to Ouray for the weekend after July 4th and if it's open I may be able to convince her to run it again. It's stunning, but absolutely terrifying in some ways. Personally I think Moab trails are scarier, but BB is up there. Mainly "The Steps" going down into Telluride.
@@barelymadeit Well... at least you have a wife that wants to keep her husband alive, I am going to try not to laugh because my wife did get out of the vehicle the first time in Moab saying she "just wanted to be rescued" and i had to explain there is no helicopter, any rescue team would come in a side by side like the one we already had, best wishes on Black Bear (if it opens to the public again)
About to pull the trigger and order a magnusun supercharger! really need the added HP for towing my 5k travel trailer! The 6 cylinder is fine 80% of the time but the big hills brings it to a crawl@@barelymadeit
"Even the 4runner made it down without any issues". Man the disrespect on 4runners offroad capabilities is strong in that quote.

Worse when you own a fullsize. It's nothing but doubt and "you're gonna die" dude the trail is 8 feet wide.
Great video! 👏🏼
You guys are genuinely a cool couple/ family to watch.
Thanks so much!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

For sure!!! Eagle rock is a great trail also! Nice and close and great views of the city!
I enjoyed the video AND the music 🎶
Probably shouldn't mention I've been up this in my Power Wagon. Great trip. Great video.
Man those are beast! Thats awesome.
Thanks for filming. We were scheduled to be there first week in August but trails were still closed. We had also scheduled Schofield Pass...thing. we re-routed to Moab instead.
@@PathsLessTraveled Schofield is a trip!
The dog was having a ball!
Oh yea. I think they have the most fun. 😂
Cool video! I’m subscribing !
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Heck yeah nothing like a Jeep flex

What type of drone do you own?
Mavic 3 pro
That looks like fun. But I got a 3500 diesel pick up, and I don’t think I will make it.
Ahh maybe you could get up pearl a little its not that bad. But clearnace may be an issue
what are your top 5 trails in Colorado
This is a great question. As of now id say.
1. Black Bear
2. Pearl (I think Schofield might be 2 but we are doing it next week)
3. Imogen (might reverse 2/3 these they are close)
4. Wheeler Lake
5. Redcone
6. Engineer
Idk though, the order is very subjective. These are probably my all time most beautiful though.

@@barelymadeit where is Redcone?
back for the HD version! :)
Awesome thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻

@@DeanJohnson67 oh nice! I have to know how you like it after its installed! I hope it rocks!
@@DeanJohnson67 one thing that really helped me was the 5.13 gears. It made a big difference towing.
what gearing did you have previously 4.10 ?@@barelymadeit
Dan B wants to do that in henry the Vanagon...
Is this a difficult pass?
Taylor isnt bad, pearl has some challenging sections.
@@barelymadeit we've done pearl before. Is Taylor easier?
@@carrieleake8230 yes 100% taylor is easier IMO.
Tough ride on a mtn.bike.
Oh yea, theres no way i could do it thats for sure. 😅
Mountain bikers regularly quietly ride this route without all the bravado…
Definitly a lot on taylor, not many on pearl. I guess you could also say that people who walk?
Your video was Great, but the Music, terrible…….
Haha thanks for watching! Your not a fan of the retro stanger things 80s music? 😅
@@barelymadeit I guess not but I am 72 years young….
@@tomguertin7713😀 thats a great outlook! Hopefully we can impress you in our next video with some better music.
the music......I just cant watch this beyond the 3 minute mark.
@@gareman9417thanks for the feedback.
