Roadrunner Adventure

Добавлен 16 май 2021
My wife and I take pleasure in getting out into the wilderness in our Jeep. This channel chronicles our adventures in the high desert of Arizona and elsewhere as the desire hits us.
My intent is to share adventure, Jeeping, off-roading, camping, and vehicle maintenance topics. I'll do gear reviews, safety demonstrations, and driving techniques as they apply to the off-road lifestyle.

Quit Banging Your Hard Parts Offroad // Low Hanging Fruit
Nothing sounds worse than banging or dragging metal across rocks. A key fundamental point is to know where your low spots are under your vehicle, or as I like to call it "Low Hanging Fruit." As an offroad driver, you need to know where your low hanging fruit is, specifically as it relates to where you are seated in the vehicle. Come long as we demonstrate how to locate your low spots and tips on how to avoid the dreaded noises and / or damage to your undercarriage.

Airing Down

If you are new to the off-road lifestyle, you might have seen people letting the air out of their tires at the trail head. Why in the world are they doing that? Watch this video to get the scoop.
Recovery Gear Ratings

What is rated recovery gear? Why do you care? Come along as I give my thoughts on what all this is and why it's important.
Where's Your Toe
Просмотров 68Год назад
Jeep Wrangler issues...death wobble, speed related wobbles, etc. Have you checked your toe in, or out? I checked mine because of a speed related wobble. I was 1/4" toe in, way too much, and it showed in tire wear and, as it turns out, a wobble. I don't show it in this video, but my tires were wearing more on the outside than the inside indicating an improper toe issue. Tires should wear in an e...
Resistance can cause a fire!
Просмотров 208Год назад
My batteries died! Fortunately it was in my driveway. Through the replacement process I noticed that the fuse holders going to my ARB twin air compressor were totally fried! I'm not even sure how it was still working. Who knows how many more times it would have taken for this to be a fire! This is a serious issue that demanded immediate attention. Luckily, I had a set of Redarc fuse holders at ...
Roadrunner Gets A Drone
Просмотров 1182 года назад
That's right, we got us a drone. Ever since we started this adventuring channel, I have wanted a drone to kick up the content. I drool over the footage I see on other channels. I finally bit the bullet and bought a used DJI Mini 2 off of Facebook Marketplace. This video chronicles my first ever flight of a drone, the use of 4K video as well as some color grading. I have a lot of work to do to g...
Fire pit review
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 года назад
We purchased and tried out the Camco Big Red Campfire. Here in Arizona it isn't uncommon to have fire restrictions due to the ongoing drought. Even though we are in the middle of a legit monsoon season and fire restrictions are temporarily lifted, we decided that having a sure bet campfire solution was warranted. We carry two 20# propane bottles on the camper anyway, so a propane fueled fire pi...
Winch Class
Просмотров 712 года назад
Roadrunner Adventure gives a winch class! It's a long video, don't give up on it too soon, there is a ton of information passed out. We setup camp in Sycamore Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains and invited people from Sierra Vista Jeeps to come out and learn about the proper use of a winch in recovery, as well as some other recovery gear.
Trail Maintenance // It's important // San Rafael Valley // Huachuca Mtns
Просмотров 1152 года назад
Why bother with trail maintenance on public trails? Because it's a privilege dummy. Trails are closed on a consistent basis for stupid things. If litter is the reason, then shame on the humans that do it. Off my soap box, I feel that for a positive experience, the least I can do is to go to the trails that I frequent and do a little landscaping, trimming back the brush a little to give a more p...
Broken Arrow Trail // Sedona, AZ
Просмотров 1792 года назад
What images come to mind when I say Sedona? Towering red rocks, quirky town, maybe all the Pink Jeeps running around? Say Sedona to an off-roader and they are likely to say Broken Arrow. It is the destination trail that everybody wants to experience at least once. Come with us as we take our Jeep on Broken Arrow Trail.
New Mexico Mines // Jim Crow // Carlisle // Summit
Просмотров 4452 года назад
This adventure takes us to Grant County, New Mexico. We were privileged enough to have a personal tour by the owner of the Jim Crow mine. He was a wealth of information about geology and mining, and he had plenty of colorful stories about the history of the mines. He doesn't own the Carlisle Mine, but his friend does so he was gracious enough to share that with us too. As a rock nerd, I could h...
Three Feathers // Chiva Falls
Просмотров 6432 года назад
We decided to head out to Chiva Falls. One of the better known obstacles on the way there is called Three Feathers. It has 3 different lines each with it's own degree of difficulty. We opted for the right line. This video shows my buddy Louie #sinclair.jl18 putting in the work. This was his first time on this trail and he's still relatively new to offroading and is still a little apprehensive, ...
Gartdner Canyon Aliso Spring
Просмотров 2322 года назад
Garner Canyon is located in the Santa Rita Mountains, just north of Sonoita, AZ. Our adventure takes us through some very scenic foothills and up into the Santa Rita's to Aliso Spring, where we took lunch. On the way out, we back tracked some and found ourselves on a legit Jeep Trail. That trail always impresses, even though it's not very long. That said, you could do it both directions and fol...

Hurricane Ida aftermath in Amite City, LA
You did a very good tour of highway 18I recall that goes from Wilcox all the way to Portal good job I like the video there guys thank you .
It's cottonwood springs , you have the wrong location.
Unless happen to have really good/high ground clearance + excellent tires - some of those back trail forest service roads can be risky.
Good video, have 5.13 scheduled to go in.
On the total map it is chivo falls
Everything but the house LOL
I think the OP4 is a better camper.
Perhaps, but this is what we have. I would have gone a completely different route, but I was overruled, lol.
@@roadrunneradventure how is it holding up?
Had to replace the battery charger since it blew up. Have a Victron charger in there now, which is a huge upgrade. Other than that, it's very solid so far.
Great video! I always appreciate when people accurately know their history.
It's the wrong area, it's cottonwood springs, not that location
Very cool
Are there easier paths that a stock Wrangler can make?
Yep! My advice is to seek out your local Jeep club. Sierra Vista Jeeps or Tucson Jeeps and hop on to some of the rides they put on.
What a waste ..I won't be watching anymore these.cya
OK, bye!
Nice drive all the way through to 80 on the opposite side of McNeal on the range.
I spent 6 months in my camper tucked into the west side in 2007 before the secret got out.The solitude and quiet did wonders for my depression.Watch out for the rattlesnakes that whole area is one big nest.Thanks for the memories.❤
How many 100 plus year old nails did you collect in your tires?
Lol, none! I think those who came before me found them already.
Love that piece of road.
So saw some information that was it was cotton spring were the fight toke place, Its the place that is describe by Wyatt Earp in the book and was found in 2002, iron springs does match what Earp describes in the book
I dont reckon that my 2010 stock Sequoia woulg be much good on this trail..... fun watching you guys do it tho....
Bob Boze Bell thinks it was Cottonwood Springs not Iron Springs.
Nice job on your video. 10 Stars :)
Thank you!
@@roadrunneradventurethey just got raided by the FBI for stealing billions
Super fun day!
Hey
Hey there Frank!
According to eugene cunningham men camped at the spring tell a different story saying curly bill was in mexico building a ranch there was a woman there he wanted to marry. They say there was only 4 men at the springs, They traded shots at wyatt the only 1 who fired and nobody died.
Looks like fun i just got my jeep looking for places to go in tucson area
Look up Tucson Jeeps on Facebook. They are an active group with some great people.
R you in tucson areas
Sierra Vista
Good review! Subbed. 🤙
Thank you!
To add...it doesn't put out a large amount of heat, I think the ammo can sized fire pits are designed for a lot of heat output. I would like to get my hands on one to do a side by side comparison.
I've gone on that side trail once and decided to turn around, wasn't worth the torture on my Jeep even with a 3-inch lift. Love the drive on 626 up to the top of Mount Ord.
Well done!
People lived in caves because it was to hot in the summer.
I think Wyatt Earp probably got there faster on a horse than you guys did in Jeep’s. Lol 😂
I would trust Billy breakenridge and day over Wyatt Earp. He said honorable people believe Wyatt killed nobody at iron springs least if all curly bill. A man with the last name of Arnold said curly bill was at the time in Mexico and there was only 4 men at the springs. They traded shots with Wyatt Earp neither side scoring a hit. It was said that curly bill heard about his death at the hands of Wyatt Earp 9 yrs later . Wyatt Earp killed Florentine Cruz s horse holder and Frank stillwell. Pete Spence's Mexican wife said the men responsible planning and all the leaders were Pete spence, co captain Hank swilling, a half creed, a German named bode and 2 other halfbreeds besides swilling. Conspicuous by his absence is no mention of stillwell whom the wife knew well. One more thing and Wyatt's biased account against stillwell. From tombstone to Tucson is 75 miles Morgan Earp was murdered shortly before midnight and stillwell was known to be intuscon before 6 he quite realistically did not have time. He seems entitled to that which basically exonerates him in Morgan's murder. He even had business in tombstone and some unbiased people said he was in Tucson on the night of the murder
Sierra Vista?
Thank you for looking for the Iron Springs shoot out site. Does Bob Boze Belll have any further information? Will you shoot a video of the Chandler Milk Ranch Shootout site and detail that action?
I believe it was Cotton woods spring most probably
Amazing that those individuals travelled around those backlands with horseback and jumpt each other. Cutting someone in half with shotgun ?, maybe with solid charge, not with pellets.
I’ve been going in there since 1972
A few years ago we spent part of the winter in Benson…. The first ever off-roading we did was a trip to Abril Mine.. I love the Dragoons!
Great video. Headed out there this weekend.
Have fun! I'll be replacing tires on my beadlock wheels, lol!
Nice video… but your in the Wrong spot. The site was Cottonwood Springs!
Born in 1957 I grew up with 4 names. Williams,Yaz, Orr and Wyatt Earp. Thank you for your video, very well done. He’s a hero of mine. 🇺🇸🖖let’s go Brandon
Putting that recovery class to work in a knowledge bomb for the masses!
Yep!
I like your message in this video. You made some great analogies and memorable quotes to get the point across.
Thank you Cheryl! I appreciate the feedback.
Cool video, thanks
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
those green bushes are mesquite, non-native water suckers, pull those and the springs start again, those hills are probably on a quartz slab that angles the water underground to the low point and probably some kind of other quarts barrier to force the water up, the mesquite roots soak up water that should run underground to the spring start point
my understanding was the trust land permit was good for only 2 wks. per year , that's why i never bought one was i wrong , or has it changed ?
No such restriction that I can find on their website unless it's a group permit (5 days). asld.secure.force.com/recreationalpermit/
@@roadrunneradventure THANK YOU for responding....i haven't been down for a few years now , but hoping maybe next season... i'm up in oregon , watching desert videos ....i remember reading the trust land signs maybe 10/15 yrs. ago around Phx.. .back then no in van computer , and paper road maps , so i just followed my nose....in some ways it was better , more adventurous ,.but i'm 77 yrs. and getting cautious in my old age again, nice of you to respond
Hello Glen, I sure am happy I watched this video! I didn't realize how much I had to learn.I need some serious work on winching! Thanks
Thank you for commenting. I too, have much more to learn. Currently in a class where I learned even more...some of which kind of contradicts a few things in this video. The take away is there are no absolutes in recovery.
Going to do this trail either tomorrow for the first time. Nice to see what it looks like and what I will find. Thanks for sharing and safe travels!
This controversy has been going on for years as to actually where the gunfight took place. I wish a scholar (professional) would do a deep dive into it and solve the puzzle once and for all. I come down to the Patagonia, Sonoita, Harshaw, Lochiel areas and would like to go to where the actual site is if its ever located. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Glen, Great video!
Thank you John!
Lol 😂that’s exactly where I stopped and turned around! Being by myself it wasn’t safe! Plus I just got a stock Willy’s jk!
It's all about knowing your limits! Thanks for the comment!
How do you get to this trailhead?
It's off Middlemarch road, left on Forest Service road 697.
@Roadrunner Adventure thanks I plan on checking it out this weekend in full-size truck!
Getting all the way to the mine may get tight for you. Be safe and have fun!
