Join me as I adventure around the United States and let’s enjoy this beautiful country and the great outdoors together! I’ll normally be traveling on my Harley-Davidson Road King or HMMWV and visiting National Parks, Hiking, Biking, Off-roading, Canoeing, Camping, Shooting, and SCUBA diving.
I’m also a long time DSM and Evo owner and currently have a 1g AWD DSM and a Lancer Evo. I also enjoy overlanding and camping and we have a Mitsubishi Montero Sport and Toyota Sequoia.

Oh yay! That’s the way to do it. And we both know that the video takes the extreme of the elevation away so it is hard for normies to know how steep that actually is.
Thanks you! Yeah, my wife and kids all opted to get out and watch for this obstacle, I think they saw a few too many rollover vids on Hells Gate beforehand! The Humvee did great though!
That is completely disrespectful to the flag. Might want to read up on title IV regulations. From section (f) you will find, "The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling." Moreover, one will find in the sections before that statements to the effect of the flag should always be free and never restrained, as it is by the rod in the middle of it. Great job disrespecting the flag and showing you obviously never served.
Section (c) reads, "The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free." You really need to read the regulations and stop pissing veterans like me the fuck off.
Look in Korea it was negative 40 Fahrenheit and we could start those vehicles with the first crank. We didn't add any fuel softener or anything it's the cheap old JP8 fuel that we get for the army. The only thing is you ain't going nowhere for a while you got to let that sucker warm up and it takes a very long time.
That’s awesome! This was my first start in temps that low. I was told the diesel available down here will help below about 15 degrees so I took a precaution by adding the treatment. We were still hundreds of miles from home and didn’t want to be stranded.
I don’t have a block heater, and even if I did, we were at a hotel hundreds of miles from home. We also don’t have winter blend diesel in Texas, this was very cold for us down here.
Why do people even mention windchill. It has ZERO to do with a cold start. NoNE....nothing. ambient temp is ambie t temp ...Wind chill only affect how fast it cools to the ambient temp. Worked on those rigs I. Alaska for 20 years and personally drove a blazer with the same engine .... we have 5 months where the temp never gets above those temps. Anything above Zero if it won't start its BROKEN.
That’s great. It’s a little different in Texas. Temps this low are very unusual here and we don’t have winter blend diesel. You are right that windchill doesn’t not effect the cold start, but it was cold for me so I felt it was worth mentioning.
@dsmracer524 usually takes below zero to get gel or parafin to form in Diesel ..at least whith what we get up here. Definitely best to go with winter fuel, but if you end up running the lighter fuel for any length of time definitely throw some upper cylinder lube ( marvel mystery, ATF, Howes conditioner or even two stroke premix oil in it ) It is Very "dry" and will end up wearing out the pointless and nozzles in the injectors pretty rapidly if you dont. Thing to watch for then is and of it that is red can get you trouble if they dip the tanks because it now looks like "dyed" fuel.
They don’t have winter blend in Texas though and no block heater or way to plug in at a hotel. We don’t usually encounter temps that low here, so I was happy that it started on its own!
The heater is another story. It couldn’t keep at at all in those temps and it felt like it was blowing lukewarm air. I have flushed the heater core and replaced the valve with an OEM one and verified that it’s fully open but it didn’t provide much relief from the cold.
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures I might need to do that. I feel it should be much warmer considering the coolant temp is 200-220*. The fan blows hard, it just wasn’t hot coming out of the vents.
Haha, I guess it’s all about perspective. This is in Texas and we had over 40 consecutive days over 100* this summer, which is more normal here than a single day in single digits.
Wow. That’s not good. Glad you got it going. I recently replaced mine. The replacement one wouldn’t take grease and had me worried of that same thing. Good to keep a spare going way off road.
This is the second one I’ve snapped in the exact same manner, so I always carry a spare now. Both of them were the “heavy duty” updated Moog units. David from HPG is working with me to fix the issue and he just sent me another new pitman and a new centerlink. He thinking the centerlink could be causing the pitman arms to break.
Once I got it tuned correctly, I still get about 45 miles per gallon (depending on speed). Initial tune with the FP3 dropped gas mileage significantly but I called V&H and they were able to fix it.
I've either built or had someone build all my sliders and racks and stuff for my Humvees. It's built better and you can get exactly what you want. Any welder in your town can do amazing things. Take it home and paint it.
@@dsmracer524 thank you, that makes sense that it would engage easier while locked. I don’t usually lock mine until I’m in trouble. But it’s weird that you have to shut the truck off to shift the T case
Awesome! You need to bring it to Alaska and run with me so we can represent against all the Toyotas and Jeeps. Great looking truck. I’m in dire need of rock sliders. We were out last weekend and it beat them up!!!!! I’m subscribing!
I was looking at purchasing the West Kentucky fiberglass doors. Yours look similar or are yours the original x doors? If their the aftermarket fiberglass ones would you recommend them?
