Wow, incredible ride. Those winches come in handy! And the places you take that Mo-chine to- who says you need a great breakover angle and front lockers! With that back bumper, I would work on getting a nice steel one that looks better on the rig the more you beat it up. Oh, and that smoke that comes from the intake valves from the PCV valve, it's supposed to burn off real quick but never does. Any jeepers will let you know that in steep accents, the accumulated oil under the valve cover collects to the backside and trys to burn through one cylinder. It might foul the spark plug, or worse yet clog the manifold. I have an oil catch can when I heard about that. I have to empty it every 2k miles (and the oil mix that's in it smells and feels foul) but I think it's possible that I increased the life of the engine. My dealer said it might not pass smog inspection, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.... again thanks for showing us what the Mojave is capable of.
You know you love the challenges. Sounds like you’re in the same headspace I was in at Windrock… it comes and goes, but wheeling with friends is never a bad day, even when bad things happen. ❤
Fun to see how on different obstacles the longer wheel base is an advantage. No front locker and walked up the wall vs. the white Rubicon Wrangler with both lockers. Did the red Wrangler that took damage have steel fenders? Wonder if it would have saved body damage if they were plastic? Great video!
It's a blessing and a curse I tell you what! And GREAT point on those steel fenders (which they are). It's really too bad KBD doesn't make a highline version!
Dang man, this looks even more intense than the last one! Y’all are going hard! I love your story-telling. Makes me ask the same question: why do we do this? Personally, I love going places most people can’t get to. I love the beautiful scenery, the relative peace and quiet, the adventure, a little bit of adrenaline, figuring out how to get over the challenges (obstacles), the quality time with my family, and as you mentioned, the great time with friends. All that being said, could we not have found a hobby that’s just a little less expensive, and where the consequences aren’t SO expensive?? LOL!
Why did everyone continue on the far right side by the tree after seeing the others take body damage and not hook onto the winch point on the left top side?
