A Timeless Good Time on One of Our Favorite Trails in the California Shaver Lake Area - SWAMP LAKE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 січ 2022
- One of our favorite places in California to go camping and wheel is up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and close to the town of Shaver Lake. And, while the area is best known for the Dusy Ershim, there are in fact a ton of other great trails and one of the more technical ones, is known as Swamp Lake. Now, I should note that this is in fact a trip that we filmed a while ago and for reasons that completely elude us, we never made a video of it or at least, not until now. Obviously, you won't be seeing any Jeep JL Wranglers or JT Gladiators but we hope that you'll stick around to watch it anyway, if only because, it's still a great story, filled with lots of fun wheeling and let's be honest, good times out on the trail are always timeless.

The videos I was watching before I could even afford a jeep jk of my own. Love these old videos. Keep them coming, if you have more.
LOL - That is awesome. We have a bunch. We'll see what we can do.
Same here. Just got my first Jeep (used JK). If I go back through my watch history, I'm pretty sure we can find a correlation.
Bro if this video was filmed today you'd have people saying "geometry is a social construct of patriarchy" and "math is racisms"! Haha! Great video!
These videos are the reason I have a Jeep. I love the content, editing, and the overwhelming feeling of camaraderie on every trip. Please keep em coming, Eddie; these are a great motivator.
Also, I've only ever wheeled manual rigs, so I understand the frustration of the orange JK, but I wouldn't chose an auto any time soon. Hats off to the orange JK; that took perseverance.
Awesome :)
Love the older videos. Have been watching your videos for years. Your videos is what made me get a Jeep of my own.
That's awesome and we're so glad that you enjoyed this one.
Oh man this brought on some serious nostalgia. Always loved your guys old videos of the rubicon, colorado and Moab.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Oh man definitely brings back wonderful memories! I grew up wheeling that trail for so many years in my CJ5. Unfortunately, it's been 15 long years since I've been back up there. Thanks for posting this video guys!
Very cool!
Well watched 10hrs of videos today its a wayalife. Guess I will go to sleep now. Thanks for the adventures.
LOL - Glad you enjoyed the videos.
Awesome video!! Good times with good friends! Hard to believe this was 10 years ago! Man time flies! Keep these vids coming!
LOL - crazy how time flies 😎
Really impressive and beautiful video at the same time. The location is wonderful and with Jeeps around looks even better. Thanks Cindy and Eddie for another awesome video.
So happy to hear you enjoyed it 😎

The fans have spoken. Keep em comin my friend!
LOL - we're working on it. If you haven't seen it already, we just posted another where we were up in the snow.
@@wayalife Woot woot lol. No I haven't! "Trailing" over to the video now 🍻.

Glad you enjoyed it
I wish it was doors off weather up here in Washington. Good to see another video 💪😎👊
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
I don’t mind when it’s filmed! Jeeping is Jeeping! And that’s always fun to watch…
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Love the flash back video. I first ran Swamp Lake in my stock '77 FJ40 in the late 80's. This video made my arms hurt. No power steering with 31x10.50's... Now look at all of improvements in the rigs. I would love to run the trail again someday. Keep up your adventures.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good times had for sure Eddie. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Love all the videos new or old!!! Been long time subscriber,setting in Oklahoma at home watching all the old videos. Be safe hope to see you guys on the trail.
Awesome! Thank you!
What a great trail ride! Beautiful scenery, and as per usual Cindy does a great job of videoing!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Another fabulous video. What great scenery and obstacles. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Man I really miss the old jku I also miss your old videos like this
Thanks for blessing us with this video 🙏
Glad you enjoyed our video 😎
Nice video, great crawling!!!! This was absolutely worth posting!!
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
I really enjoy the quality and content of your videos. I think your builds are great, but I do not think you get enough credit for how good of a spotter you are and how important that is to rock crawling! Keep Jeeping and sharing these awesome videos!
Humbled that you would say as much. thank you.
This is the version of Moby that I used to dream of owning one day! Now I have a JKR on Evo coilovers and Dana 60’s to call my own! And it’s brought me across the country to some of the beautiful places highlighted in your videos.
Awesome :)
Definitely a fun looking trail with some capable rigs and great sights.
Thanks 👍
That’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to go on that trail I only live an hour away! Great video again Eddie
Glad you enjoyed it.
As someone sporting a 2009 with 155k miles on it I dig seeing these JKU's instead of all the JT's and JL's. Keep up the great content, it is appreciated!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for sharing.. I sure miss videos like this..
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for another great longer video..
Glad you enjoyed it
If I'm not mistaken, that was some nice footage of Tessa! Thanks for sharing!
You are correct. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Man this is an oldie! Moby on toyos with his manual still! Loved the video Cindy and Eddie
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Video Eddie, really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Eddie! JKZinger here. Brought back some great memories when we lived in Cali. Made me text my old Jeep buddies there and invite them out to Arizona. Keep the videos coming!
Hey my friend, glad you enjoyed the video
Definitely an awesomely challenging adventure 👊🏼👍🏼
It was a ton of fun for sure :)
love that attitube, lets move the log and make it easier for everyone else (-:
:)
Great share guys , hadn’t seen that edition.
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Dang, this is a sweet trail. Looks like a good time!
Glad you enjoyed seeing it 😎
Nostalgic wayalife video here. Loved it
Thank you :)
Talk about skills and a good group of guys and thanks for that demo of how to use your recovery gear
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😎
Doors Off… That’s the WAYALIFE we all Love ! 👍😃
Awesome 😎
Your jk was my favorite! Need to do more wheeling like this in the future.
Awesome!
that looked like a ton of fun, and awesome guide skills there Ed. I would crawl with you any time!
Thanks! So happy to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Great video guys.
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
As always love the content. Hope to someday be able to meet up and wheel with ya. Until then I’ll just keep enjoying your videos. Thanks for uploading
That would be great if you could join us.
I love the history lessons in your videos!
Glad you like them!
Just found your channel thanks to a couple posts from the JL forums and watched a few of the Pippie videos. I own a (nearly stock, just put rubicon takeoff tires/wheels on) JL sport that I have just started wheeling with my local club.
Love the down to earth content and have subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Such a cool video. Crazy to see Moby (and not hear him) with the little 3.8! You gotta dig up more of these!
LOL - we'll keep digging
I live about 35 min from shaver. Friendly word of advice, as you’ve found out. Always bring a chain saw up here. Between the recent fires, the bark beetle, the drought, and heavy snow fall. There are constant falling trees. Hit me up next time your this way 🤙🏻
LOL - because what we did, clearly didn't get the job done.
Gorgeous area full of lots of flexy moments!
Good times out there for sure. We'll have to do this again with you and Ray :)
I did not know shaver lake had trails, been living in the central valley awhile now but this is awesome, great vid
Glad you enjoyed!
After a long time we are finally seeing jk s
Thanks for a good start of the morning
Also congratulations in advance you are about to hit 200k 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
So can we see a special video on 200k
SO SEE YOU UNTIL NEXT TIME EDDIE
Thank you so much 😀
Loved it. Nasty rocks!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
always good editing that makes them fun to watch.
Glad you like them!
Good stuff! Oldies but goodies!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great 👍 👌 as always 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Came here for Jet. Got Moby. Nothing wrong with that. Awesome video!
Appreciate it!!
Who cares if theresn't not JL or JT because of a old video! The important thing is to go Jeeping with people with your same passion, with any kind of Jeep!
7 slots a way of life anyway!👍👍👍
We're glad you feel that way. You'd be surprised at what people give us grief for LOL.
@@wayalife yeah... Some fellas doesn't understand the real meaning of the 7 slots family!
You can have the new JL or the very first Jeep Willis from 40', no matter what, you will always be a part of the Jeep Family!
I want to include myself with my BU Trailhawk, even if I live in Italy, very far from you and I don't go so much in offroad😅
Always feeling like I'm Jeeping!
Insane jeeps in this channel🔥👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Just extremely well done on all fronts!
Thank you :)
Great trail and Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great footage. Funny to see folks with stick shift. Ahhhh, those were the days. Oh, I meant, uggggg those were the days. Lol. Unless you're running like 150:1 ratio (exaggerated) doesn't make sense to run a stick. But hey, I remember all the hype. I was a clutch guy for a short time also. But as I sit in my JLUR, going back in time like this makes me really appreciate the advancements in transmissions. Keep the videos coming.
LOL - to be fair, Moby is still running a 3.8L and a 6-speed in this video. It can be done but an auto is better on the rocks.
great video, love watching JK's do work.
Glad you enjoyed
Awesome video crawling at its best
Glad you enjoyed it
With the effort I see in the videos and as an average joe 4x4 guy I just enjoy the content man
Awesome, thank you 😎
I like manual shift, but not for overlanding. Given how the orange Jeep kept stalling, I felt his frustration.
Man they having such good time
LOL - we try our best anyway :)
Great video Eddie! Shaver is just a short drive for us. Come on back, bring Jet and wheel it with us!
Would love to come back soon!
It's not about the what, it's about the way.
Great video. Hell yes it's an old video, Moby still has the original powertrain and the Warn Powerplant. 🤣
LOL - simpler times for sure.
Felt like I was watching a movie!! Great coverage brother! 😎
Awesome! Thank you!
Aw man, I missed this one. Better late than never
LOL - hope you enjoyed it.
@@wayalife Always do!
I miss my jk. Never really got to take it down many trails but I definitely took it down through logging trails in the off season and don’t old abandoned dirt roads around my area
Sorry to hear you had to get rid of it.
Good times on the trail
Yes indeed :)
Using "Geometree" to clear the path. I knew high school math would come in handy. Excellent!
LOL
This is considered retro old skool OG wheeling!? Love it!
oh, man RIP Tessa!
LOL - thank you.
Come back soon! Jeremy and I would love to wheel with you guys!
That would be great and hope to make that happen soon 😎
Oldy but goody!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it 😎
It seems all videos these days are JL and JT focused which is understandable but it's nice to see the JK still get love. I'm still wheeling a JK and haven't really considered "upgrading" I hope you keep these videos coming.
Yeah, we'll keep em coming. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Friend of our has a cabin in Shaver. We get a group together and run Bald Mountain every year.
Awesome :)
You did a great job being their spotter
Thank you :)
One of my favorite ca trails want to go back
Us too :)
@@wayalife once i finish the ls swap im going hope you guys get to go soon
Super Super video.
Oooo wayalife video! Click into full screen, pause, bong hoot, press play and enjoy
LOL - so glad you enjoyed it :)
I love the shaver lake area ,grew up just south of there near kings canyon park. I wonder how that area looks now after the big fire that went through there.great video as always top notch
Swamp didn’t burn too much. Tamarack side to Bald is moonscape & the drive up to shaver right after the 4 lane is pretty bomb blasted. Shaver itself is fine.
@@adidas4275 that’s good to hear I moved away from that area and haven’t been back in years
Moby before the V8!!!
LOL - and before an automatic too :)
Awesome off road.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Back when Moby still had a v6 & a manual?! Definitely an older video, LOL. Still a great watch!
Thanks for watching!
Was not expecting to see a new video from the days of Moby rocking a stick shift.
LOL - hope you enjoyed it :)
This made me think it would be a cool video if you got all your friends and took out all of your(Eddie's) Jeeps on a mild trail at once.
I hear they have these new things called, chain saws. They work very well. They even have battery powered ones... You should try them.
LOL - half an hour of good wheeling and the only thing you came away from this video is the need for a chainsaw! Because, clearly, it was needed to get by. You know, I bet you even actually thought you were the very first person to say as much. Tell you what, I'll be sure to remind myself from 10 years ago that one would be good to have. 🤪
If you would not mention it is „old“ footage, i would not identify. But it is calmer, nicer and really seems to be good times with lots of smiles. Your recent videos are faster and a bit more extreme. Also with more unknown people in your convoi. So this one reminds me what it is all about: having good times with friends (real Friends).
Well, we're glad that you enjoyed this one then :)
Do you think it’s necessary to upgrade front axel on JL Rubicon for moderate overlanding and exploring with 37s?
Nope. Unlike the JK before, the JL Rubicon front axle has proven itself to be all that you need for 37's, even for harder wheeling.
Ed-Wadd!! 🍻
Can a jeep have a removable third row seat? I have not seen videos
So glad to see more JK videos.
AWEsome :)
Looks awesome! Love the area !
Us too!
Snatchblock!
I'd love to come down there and wheel with you guys sometime. I don't think my little 2dr jk could hang with ya'll. But I'd sure give it a shot.
A little 2 door would have an easier job on stuff like this.
@Austin H maybe but I have a jk sport with no lockers so it would be tuff
Well Eddie, I must say, "about freak'n time!" Lol. Can't say I've seen all your videos but have not seen this or another one on the Swamp trail. One of my fav trails since I'm local. Can also tell you since this video was made, the trail is waaaay more technical these days. Have any of the Coyote lake trail? Also again spied some Dusy footage in there! Lol
Glad you enjoyed it and yeah, we probably have one of Coyote Lake too LOL
Dang, brother, you got some money in that jk!
What is the meaning of pole with 228 at the top? Measuring snow depth?
It is to measure snow depth.
