Borderline Explorer is a RU-vid channel created to share our adventures. We began as car-campers staying strictly on campsites with showers and restrooms. Curiosity kept taking us deeper into nature and here we are now. Make memories with us as we explore trails and campsites mainly in Southern California. Have fun with us as we hit trails, review products, and share gained knowledge from our travels.
Explore when you can and dream when you can't. Not all of us are hardcore... most of us just.. Borderline Explorers.
I used to run this trail all the time in my 93 Toyota pickup back in the 90's using paper maps. It is great east/west and west/east. Lots to explore. Make sure to check out the Paymaster Mine in the mountains just west of Kelbaker Rd.
It's normally only a problem if you get stuck in water without extended diff breathers or if the water crossing is pretty long. Cooled my diffs and transmission with a waterport hose and waited 10-20 minutes after the long trail before crossing just to be safe.
As i watch this again 4 years later, I can officially say this whole spot is on currently on fire. Vista Fire. I just did this trail with my daughter last Saturday. Very rutted now.
Hi Mate. Im in Australia and no one really makes a tyre carrier for Gladiator. I tow a caravan as well so hoping you can help with an easy syatem to bolt onto rubicon model and if anyone will ship from US or your location.
I daily mine its on its last leg 2wd but drives really well traamssion has limited life left had it rebuilt but has a crack in the case I dream about finding an all black 4wd in mint condtion.
To the 1st Gen Mdx owners consider installing a transmission cooler with Fan and a switch. it helps the transmission from overheating when climbing so far haven’t seen warning sign from atf when i installed it.
Growing up my dad had a red manual 2d fwd 92 navajo.. as a kid I remember sitting in the back pushing on the window to open it, and playing with the little ash tray under the window. My dad had it until 2006 when he bought a new car and traded it in.. he told me it only had 60k on the dash when he traded it in 😭
How do you like the Disco 15? Im thinking about getting one. Im 5'8 but have beoad shoulders so i need a bag with a little more room. Should i get the nemo or opt for something more expensive and lighter?
kinda funny/sad to think about this video a few years later... at the time, people were upset that the deep crossing was made so much easier/// now any time it or the next crossing get any kind of depth even over 1 foot... people wimp out and go around destroying vegetation, tearing up fences and cutting barriers even... pathetic how weak everyone has become. all that money for a vehicle that can do anything and they are afraid to get a little mud on it....// i wish more people had that attitude of the guy who made this video, people should want those deep crossings....
The first hinest review ive seen so many ads on RU-vid pretending to be reviews i feel bad for people not as tedious who see 1 garbage can doing an ad pretending to be a review
I just ordered one for my 2023 Subaru Ascent. They make an AE version (low clearance), since the Ascent hitch receiver is really high and the standard Trail Swing would block the gate from opening even when swung out. I wanted something that could be locked into place, because I plan on using it with the FrontRunner table (which I also ordered from DirtCom), so it needs to swing out and lock into place. Anyway, I love the product design and the passion from the people at the company. I made 3 calls to them so far and every time I spoke with someone knowledgeable and willing to take time to listen to my questions and get actual answers. Customer service so far has been way over the top. Hopefully it's a good long-term product! Definitely expensive, but I wanted the best and most useful, since my Wife will need to swing out the hitch to get into the trunk. I wanted it to be as easy as possible. I ALMOST went with the Wilco brand, but saw too many reviews talking about a sticky pin. I like the Rigd and Dirtcom latch design much better.
Enter from the east side but they will charge you when or if you exit through the park gate. If you go back the way you came no fee for anything. Times before they charged per vehicle.... now its per person
That road belongs to the railroad and it wouldn’t even be there if it weren’t for the tracks. The railroad trumps the BLM and was around 100 years before the BLM even existed. Basically, they don’t answer to any local or even state authority. Railroad property isn’t even considered a part of a state, it is a separate entity.
Maybe try and apply some spray bed liner material for some durability, waterproofing, traction, and easy cleaning. Great stuff, I had the same idea and wanted to see if anyone else did it!
Really cool to see 2nd gen mdx used like this. The spare tire mount used is a genius at work with gas can and grill even !! Would love more info on that since I cant see enough to figure it out.
And I was in high school in the late 90s my buddy got a almost turquoise green 1993 Navajo. I remember thinking it was sus being 6 years old but only having seven thousand miles on it until he drove it home from the dealership and it still had the original Factory floor mats in plastic in the back. It was a 5-speed with a flip-up sunroof. I know it was identical to the Explorer Sport but it had nicer materials inside and a better radio. It was reliable it held up for about 200k miles
