Alaska Extreme 4X4 Baldy Challenge take rigs to the breaking point 

The vehicle community is second to none when it comes to diving in to help a fellow stranded or broke down gearhead it doesn't matter from 100 year old vehicles to modern modified vehicles at any event help is all around even from the competition

Going off road without tools is crazy spare parts on your list to take.

I’m shocked it made it that far without breaking, running over everything LOL,,that was impressive!

Been in the exact same situation with my m998, had to put the ball back in the socket, wrap it with a peice of seat belt and a soft shackle and cinched it down with the winch to drive out. Then got home and fixed it with a new ball joint and then sold the pile.

What kind of off roader does a trail like that with out a jack? What were they thinking ? Were they going to get a bag of groceries from the store?

Call the Hummer “Major Pain”

Really enjoyed the content, what a day guys 😁. I'm tired out an I was setting in my recliner 😴. Thanks for sharing,glad you all made it out safely 😀.

Dam that's a cool trail looks like so much fun!!

Northern wheeling man, Love it!! But very unforgiving but so beautiful 🤙 awesome vid thanks for the share, dream to join something of the sorts one day, hit that arctic circle 🙌 ever kool

When I saw them tires I knew they would kill everything from the CV shafts out. I really figured the portals would die first.

Awesome vid. I cant believe Joe wanted to keep going at first. My towel woulda been thrown immediately.

I think that fan clutch on the Hummer is controlled hydraulically through the power steering pump oil pressure and hydraulic temperature switches in the coolant. I have a couple of those fan setups.

Seeing your situation. Remember we have been in short trip offroading on jeep.... due to break down we left 1 jeep for a week then came fir rescue. Watching your video from North East India.❤❤

I laughed when the jeeps and Toyotas driving around Hummer 😂😂😂👍🏻

I foresee a complete upper and lower ball joint design is in the works. Those big tires are reeking Havok on the little ball joints. Just think if you were in the outback 50 miles and this thing reared its problems. Extremely hard rig to move over terrain with that malfunction. Dam thing is so wide you basically have to make your own path.

At least now you know where the weak points are in the hummer. Upgrade time!

Lesson learned. Great video guys!

On that same trail thanks for tearing it up

Hello from Tennessee, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

GL getting Matt to show up

I am confused, you kept saying we are fighting the ball joint trying to get it back together and other similar things, but I only see one person take it apart and repair it. Is his name really "We?" Other than that, it looked like fun. Personally, I like rock climbing and you guys can have all the mud.

This video was so awesome, wish I was there !!!

Wheel/tire specs, pleeease!!! By the way: cool Humvee, nice crowd, awesome trip. Thanks for posting. Cheers Gus.

You need some ball joint deletes ! You can tell the front suspension is not beefy enough by the way the tires wobble around ! Tires are two big for it. On humvee. But it sure was getting it!!!

Hi hope you got it fixed but how is the webasto heater plumbing h Hooked up under your hmmwv. What water ports is it using

Who is it that makes heavy duty rebuild able balls ???

Been years since I went up Baldy, but man o man the camera does not show how steep some of those hills really are lol.

Thank you!

Thanks for the video! I watched your videos nonstop while waiting for my HMMWV to show up. Now that it's here, I want to do some off-road trips here in WA. I don't have a winch set up yet so obviously won't be doing anything insane. I'm sure you have gone over it in a video, but what are the necessities I should bring aside from a ball joint? haha

I wouldn't cut too many of us short on not knowing what angles feel like when you were 4x4 because we definitely can tell even when it's on a camera of your angle and how steep things are

Excellent adventure

That fan blade looks like it is on backwards, the cup of the fan, not the round part, should be pulling air through the radiator.... or is just a video thing....

lol learned the hard way about the required upgrades needed to use the bigger tires n stuff... XD

Hip boots! Perfect for the unknown!

Lower control arm ball joint Tie rod and transmission all must check and replace

That's what you get for running them big tires on that. And I rated for that.

The rims n tires on the hummer are putting some serious loads on the probly standard size components beef em up hard so they take it brov

I live in Fairbanks,where were you guys wheeling.

The old military Humvee should be called Sergeant Mudd

Will the real General Mayhem please stand up.

I thought it would be portals going first

Better call Matt's Off Road Recovery Or Trail Mater 😂

Really enjoyed your adventure. Your 4x4 amigos from Deep South My wrangler nor dodge would have survived 1/4 of that

Have you ever heard STAY THE TRAIL? Apparently not

Well that was alot of wasted whatever 😮. I had a 6.5L in an HD brings back memories on the torque they have . That vehicle is to wide for most of the narrow spots so its no wonder it grenaded.

I'd like to know the location of this venture

typical hummer ball joint

This video is epicness

What about going up back wards

Where is this?

Typical day in the mud ... Breaking N Fixen breaking N Fixen...

Land rover for the win🤘

Härligt safari❤

Ok awesome that would be a help I'm trying to hook one up on my hmmwv

Who would go out in that slop with no jack and no balljoint

normal gm issues there with the ball joint

А я еще на свою ниву ругался . Какими не были поломки она меня до дома довозила

why the chains on the tires?

Tires need to come off for towing or otherwise.

Blows my mind that a machine built for the battle field runs ball joints. And tiny ones at that. Ball joints are incredibly weak compared to trunion bearings, such as what I suspect that the pop-top 4-runner on chains is running (if he's solid front axle). Even modern Jeeps run ball joints and I can't tell you how many times I've heard a Jeeper whine about having to deal with them. My #80series solid front axle uses trunions and I've never had a problem with them. Even after replacing them as a baseline item when I bought the rig to give them a born-on date. Admittedly I don't treat my rig like you have to treat yours in this competition. But if I did, a trunion failure would be the last thing I'd be worried about. (Check yur nuts! lol - an 80series thing) And too those ag tires really leverage against ball joints, making their failure even more likely. Tho i'll admit the tires are a big advantage in that terrain. Awesome video. First time viewer and hadn't heard of this "race". Really enjoyable and can appreciate the toll on the machine that it presents. Great effort regardless.

a battery or 2 some welding cables and sticks and you have a light weight off road emergency welder

If he would have put a log in between the two bumpers of the trucks when he winched it up to the back of that willies it would of pushed it out as it went up for clearance. Just a thought

They had to much confidence in the hummer bravado tires are to big I think even though this is a automobile our military has to depend on 😢 God bless them

That is just a 3/4 / 1 ton ball joint with 1foot off set rims with 24 in tires ????? I wonder what happened ????😅😅😅😅😅😅

Con gomme così enormi era scontato rompere un attacco.

Блин, да там даже Нивы в стоке проедут!

Faut enlever les deux roues pour treuiller correctement ...@+Chrys

Jealous.. I wanna go. Amazing

Major Mayham

Humvee and jeep, don't take it off the asphalt. Call wrecker if you do, tell everyone you no where your going, you will break down

Really? You put those tires on a 10k axle truck??. Just buy a 12.k M1165 or at least a M1151/2. Those axles will continue to break along with the gears or the hubs plus you get a much bigger cooling system. Yeah, I am an expert on HMMWV'S. I own (5) of them.

Pointless wheels

Joe has a cool rig. Needs to take it to eska fall for a shakedown first !

I shoulda been out there with y’all

Should of got less off set with ag wheels Les stress on portal

Man i finally got and free time, off work due to a back injury. I wanna go wheel so bad but j know better.

Slow and steady going little hard.

Så där ja då vann ni en Hammock ( utan ställning)😅

Only people that can afford a hummer thinks they are the best machine on the planet. I seen those big tires on the hummer and was like well that's going to break. The suspension is only made for what it was built around and just barely that.

imitation drivers is more like it. I could break that thing in under 5 seconds if I wanted to

Приезжайте к нам в болоте проверим на что ваш ведролет годен

Where is Matt's Off Road when you need them

How bout General Carnage for a name

Buy a sherp!

Хаммер для асфальта и камней не для грязи и болот хоть какое колесо ставь

Typical problem's that you encounter when you put over size wheels on your rig with stock suspension and axels.....

Te pasa por que te flipaste

Hummers suck I don’t get why they designed it with a shit independent suspension

Мосты ниссан сафари тема

I really hope that that guy in Rover1 is not the pretentious prick that he seemed to be on Offroad Alaskan Warriors

Comedy of errors.

How do you even attempt this kinda 💩 without making sure you have a strong and solid suspension and front end? You should have gone through the entire vehicle and replaced all the ball joints before attempting this.🙄🤷‍♂️

I just found this channel and I'm flipping a coin if i should delete it and never speak of it again ..or go balls deep, finish my build and throw some Canuck power into this sucker next year ....I'm afraid to touch this coin cause it could cost me another set of top of the line appliances when my stupid ass leaves receipts in my coveralls..

No air down or nothng damn yall some savages

you would have won easily if it hadn't broken😕

Quiero ir con ustedes🫡⁉️🤠🙏

Rubbish Hummer , a old Willys M38 with 7.50 is much better

What a shi.... is this.

For the size of that car the ball joint is VERY SMALL and weak
