It’s very beautiful I just did this a few months ago but was in a 2011 f250 diesel would not recommend for faint of hart if you happen to be in a bigger truck
@@prestcars6986 We were out there last year, but ended up passing on Black Bear. I've got a 2000 F250 diesel and the turning radius is even worse on the older trucks and just didn't wanna risk it. That and the rest of my group was done with shelf roads lol.
Agreed, not a difficult trail. I think people combine difficulty and dangerous in one. I would definitely say it’s low difficulty but very high in danger.
Absolutely love it. It’s a big bonus that the mount mounts directly to the track in the factory Tacoma bed rail. I bought it second hand from a friend and the manual hand pump broke on me on this trip, but the compressed air fitting still works. So to pressurize it, I just hook up my air compressor to the fitting for a few seconds. The 3.8 gallons lasted about a week with casual use. One day on the trip I actually took a full shower. Filled it up twice in the 2 weeks I was out.
Black Bear Road is on my bucket list, right after i put in Unimog portal axles for extra weight, rear steering for the insane switchbacks, and figure out how to install an ejection seat in my 1984 Toyota Xtracab pickup. j/k First one to get to Telluride without a tag on your toe wins!
I just spent a few days camping in North Carolina in a tent. How bad does it suck sleeping in your tent while it rains ? It’s loud on the tent and my dog hated it
If your viewers can handle some Jeeps, they might want to check out our vid over BBP from this past August with MUCH better weather: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MorgsJeomJY.html It was the first time ever wheeling for my passengers and my first over BBP. Agree that difficulty level not high, but “pucker factor” way up there on several sections. Enjoyed seeing a different perspective and recognized lots of shots.
Epic video! Black Bear Pass is definitely on the bucket list! Great footage of the trail and the views! For the mini trucks definitely recommend getting some weight in them! Always recommend starting at 60/40 weight distribution on them. Once weighted they are insane! Stick on wheel weights inside your tires and on the front of them work epic! Can't wait for part 2
Yo how can i get more info on that scuba tank compressor deal.. it's pretty rad!! I really want to build one. I'm curious on how he did his up... Sweet footage by the way !!!! Keepfilming #keephammering
I just did this same trip in July. This was nothing compared to the two way traffic on Imogene pass on the at the end near telluride . People had half their tires hanging off the cliff. I back down it a way to avoid passing on the outside.
It would be so cool if you brought us along into the grocery store,got to watch you pack the fridge and then cook when you got set up at camp.I look forward to doing this myself,so if we could see you do it while we can’t away from our grinds as much as we like-it would be awesome!
Yeah that's a great point! I've done that in my older videos and love the end result, but sometimes I like not filming things ha. Can be super taxing behind a camera every minute of a trip, but I get you wanna see it! I'll try my best to include a little more.
I gotta ask. We're you at all nervous? I mean I'd be nervous in perfect weather lol. I'm not too fond of heights but it keeps me on my toes in situations like that
Honestly, I wasn't for some reason. The trail itself is easy, it's just all about focus and going slow. I've done much harder obstacles that scared me more than this
Lol yeah! His truck actually had some radiator support cracking and this flex definitely didnt help. You can see my truck didn't misalign near that much. His issue has been fixed since then, but good eye lol.
If Bear Pass alone doesn't ring your bell the altitude will. GREAT and informative footage! Excellent editing! Gosh! It doesn't get much better! Looks like to me that any advertiser would be knocking the doors down to get on your channel. Just sayin!
Being that his brakes weren't working well, they smelled and the entire wheel wat hot, it sounds like they overheat from being used too much on the way down. If he used his transmission more (low gears), that could have been avoided. I learned that lesson from making the same mistake ;) If it ever happens again, it's also better to let the rotors cool down gradually. If you park it and let it cool down by sitting, the rotors can cool too quickly and potentially warp.
I like how in every video, going down the step is like "Slow, Slow, Slow"... as if simply maintaining a tiny bit of momentum and just continuing to drive smoothly off of it will result in certain death! I like the 1:1 "camping truck" to go "hardcore wheelin" the tiny trucks. Heck that's how I got into tiny trucks, as an auxiliary hobby to do while rock crawling/camping.
Hey I'm glad you made it to Colorado I sure wish you'd give my son a kick in the rear. LOL he needs that little extra nudge to start filming some of his adventures, the Jeep is still going on them. They're just not being documented. I would really like to see your new truck and the old one go jeeping together. Maybe as a surprise maybe.
I’m from Texas but my main stomping grounds are the Ouchita national forrest. Just spent 10 days in Ouray and had a chance to do all of the passes in the area. If you haven’t wheeled mineral creek to lake city, you should give it a try.
Great Vid, again...Glad you finally filmed in CO. I just spent 2 weeks there, with a short trip to MOAB..Watching was kinda like following myself around... Thanks for posting and keep em coming....Come on Part 2!!!!!
Awesome video! My dad and I did BBR two weeks ago in our stock Tacoma TRD Pros. Some “big chonkers” would’ve saved some paint underneath multiple times.
