OVERLANDING THE OREGON OWYHEES: DAY ONE - SUCCOR CREEK AND BRONCO WALKAROUND

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Welcome to part one of my Overlanding the Oregon Owyhees in my Bronco series. This day was heavy one the driving, so I wasn't able to explore the area a ton. But I decided I would take the time and show you how I setup my Bronco for this trip. Hope you enjoy, and stick around because there are 3 more videos coming your way of Overlanding the Oregon Owyhees!

There is something so beautiful about watching wild horses run!! 😃
Yep, this settles it .... the Owyhee is bumped up on our list of places to see. Incredible video dude!
Dude you have to check it out for sure! It is such an incredible place and I got really lucky that it was as green as it was!
1 minute in I subscribed and liked this video. Well done.
Thanks drew! Glad to have you in the community now!
You are in some of my favorite country! I'm looking forward to this series. Very thought-out set up on the Bronco!
Dude, this is so different from what we have in Washington and it was so cool to experience! The rest of it is all exploring! It is going to be a great time!
@@OFFTHEGRIND Yeah, its really some breathtaking country and we don't see a lot of it on RUclips. So, enjoy and can't wait for the videos!
Very nice. Excellent photojournalism.
Thank you!
Definitely a beautiful area. I need to go back with the family when I have a little more time!
I want to take the family and explore so bad! One day. 10 hours is a long drive for a 2 year old
@@OFFTHEGRIND it takes us twice as long to get across the country with ours since we have to give him so many breaks.
I can only imagine haha! You’re my hero
Dude your videos are pretty awesome I can see the quality and video editing difference since I started following the channel! Pretty dope. Probably gonna go camping this weekend after watching this video.
Thanks so much man! Always trying to improve and give you all better content! And hell yeah man get out there!!
It’s funny we have to loose our selfs to find our selfs.
It’s so true though
Yep, Succor, Sands Basin, Jump Creek. Amazing beautiful areas.
Great video. We don’t have places like that in Ontario to travel. Thanks for sharing.
This terrain is super unique for sure. Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful trip and state. Been watching for awhile. Came for adventure and Toyota. But I stayed for You, and your adventure and wisdom you bring in your voyages and videos!
Thank you so much! I am glad that you stuck around! While there's not getting away from vehicle specific content, my goal is to highlight the adventure as much as I can. Not necessarily the tool!
I have a question for you. Did you do this trip in May? Because I am planning this trip now and I love the wildflowers and the green rocky landscapes.
I did. May can be a sketchy time to go there from what I’ve heard. I think I barely got on the other side of a lot of rain and I Inter weather before I got there. So a bit of a gamble if you’re trying to go in the spring.
I've got the trailrax TRMRR rack for my bronco as well. You can buy extra cross member extrusions and add them to the rack to fit the Roam box mounts or any other items that don't perfectly line up with the fixed locations of the cross members. They fit into the long slots on the main support beams. I was going to do that for my traction board mounts but ended up coming with a solution that I didn't need to spend the 50 bucks on another extrusion. I may go with a roam box for some recovery gear but I'll end up mounting it front to back if I do.
I might look in to that. I’d really rather be using the mounts than ratchet straps
Awesome start to what looks like an incredible journey. Great job and can’t wait to see what’s next!
It was a wild trip! Thank you! Next one will be a good one, LOTS of exploring
I just ran across this channel, and MAN, this series has me pumped up. Can't wait for the rest of the series to be released.
Well welcome! Three more to come and I’m not gonna lie, they’re pretty awesome haha!
Great video David! Excited to see more videos of our Rack in use!
Thank you! This rack get used ALL THE TIME and it is a beast!
Wow wow wow. Great story telling and visuals. Very well done. Amazing trip so far!
Thanks so much man! Really excited to share the rest with everyone
Bro!! What a great adventure!! I just got back from a 8 day 3000 mile trip in Colorado. Keep up the great work!
That sounds incredible man! This was a short trip in comparison but I’m dying for another and keep stretching them out. Would love to visit Colorado
Great video!
Took my family up to Lost Lake by Snoqualmie Pass last Saturday. The lake was nice, we stopped there for lunch. We tried to continue on around the loop on the west side of the lake, but got stopped by what looked like an old avalanche that hadn't melted yet (blocked the road), we did add some nice trail tattoo to the side of our vehicle though (road got really narrow with bushes on both sides). Then tried the route up the east side of the lake towards Mirror Lake, but beyond the mirror lake trailhead the road gets really bad and we don't have out lift yet, so decided to stop there.
We live just off hwy 18 in east auburn on the hill, your video shows you driving right past where we live. :) We are trying to go out as much as possible right now before the fire/smoke season sets in.
I love Lost Lake. It is such a beautiful spot. There is always people there though which sucks. I want to try and get out there mid week so I can have it to myself.
@@OFFTHEGRIND Yeah, unfortunately it was pretty busy at the lake. It's generally my goal to find a nice quiet spot so we can just enjoy nature. I think if we were able to go on the loop on the west side of the lake we could have find a quiet spot or two. I've added the Oregon Owyhees to our list for a future trip thanks to your video, looks like a fantastic place to visit!
Hell yeah brother! I’m a little jelly that I wasn’t there. Looks epic!
Dude you have to make it down there! It’s amazing!
Even more stoked for our trip down there at the end of June now! Can't wait to see Part 2!
The series should be wrapping up just before you head down there actually! Should get you even more pumped!
@@OFFTHEGRIND Yesssssss 🤘
Love the Owyhees. Hopefully you hit the reservoir. That glory hole by the dam is pretty cool when the water is spilling over.
I didn’t get up that far. I’ve heard that area is beautiful as well but I just didn’t have time
The cinematography of this video is amazing! I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. I’ve been considering heading out this way for some time now.
Thanks so much David! Really looking forward to sharing the rest with you all and you’ll definitely want to go after that!
Wow, just wow.
Great setup and start to your trip 👍
Thanks so much! Can't wait to share the lest with you all!
Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible and inspiring! Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! My goal is to inspire people to get out and explore so I'm glad this did that!
Another awesome video!
Thanks so much!
Whaow, Great video David , brought back many memories.
Did you check out coffeepot crater? I cant wait to go back ,that place is Beautiful.
BTW, the video editing, the filming ,drone footage all that is on point 👍🏻. Cant wait to see part 2 tomorrow. Cheers 17:59
Hey Keith, thanks so much! Yes I did check it out and that will be in the Day 3 video. It was unexpected honestly. I had a few days to plan this trip so I kinda just stumbled upon it without knowing what it was. And thanks for the compliment, I really try to push my limits as a creator each time I go out.
Good video I really enjoyed It
can you give coordinates of the roads and places you stopped. so i dont drive 1200 miles to experience this beautiful place and end up missing it.
When are you going? By next weekend I’ll have the entire route on my website
@@OFFTHEGRIND no hurry. not till next year. thanks for answering back.
That first 30 second intro got you a new sub!
Welcome! Thanks for joining!
Welcome to my backyard. Hope you enjoy your visit!
So lucky to call this your backyard! I loved it there!
Well done well done 😊
Subbed. Just about to start my over landing van build. This is the goal.
Awesome!! It’s a fun process but be sure not to rush it. But once cry once and all. Also, be sure you’re addressing YOUR needs, not what you see on the internet. Sorry for the unsolicited advice lol
@@OFFTHEGRIND thank you mate. We are not rushing it because we are skint 😂. We are defiantly going for a different build which suits our needs. Great advice. America is the goal once it’s done.
Well said review!
I've lived in the PNW but somehow missed this area. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. Also, as a Bronco fan those mpg's are ____. Better to focus on SMG, or smiles-per-gallon.
Love that I’m able to share this and do exactly that! Glad you enjoyed it. And both my MPGs and SPGs are up with the bronco!
Amazing scenery!!!! That’s for sharing. Sure would be a long drive from Florida, though. 😢
Oh damn, that would be such a haul! Worth it though
Warm greetings from Germany....
you have great videos. I really like your Bronco Badlands. I hope to become a badlands owner soon too...
Beginning / end of August 2023 (I hope) should also be available in Germany.... however, only the Outerbanks and Badlands are offered.
Will be an exciting time until it's delivered (supposedly the vehicles will be delivered within a year, we'll see).🎉
Best regards
edin
Thanks so much Edin! The badlands is definitely the way to go if you plan on doing serious off roading! Good luck, I hope you get it quickly!
It's interesting that you deflate your tires for muddy conditions and use traction boards. Now me I'd air down a little, but I think that I would opt for tire chains on all 4 corners. Interesting thing is that of all the off roading videos I watch, non use tire chains except for 1 time a rancher used them on a Powerwagon.
Tire chains on mud? I’ve never even heard of someone doing that. Airing down is all you need to do and the traction boards are just in case I get stuck.
@@OFFTHEGRIND mud or snow and i imagine sand, even rock, tire chains act as paddles. They are more useful in mud or snow than on ice. Tho they're useful on ice as well.
Yes!!
First off, love your content. I’m waiting for my bronco to be built and but seeing someone like you doing what I hope to do in my own bronco one day is amazing.
I noticed you using premium gas. Do you notice a difference using it?
Can’t wait to see the rest of this series and more videos!!!
Thank you! Hope you get a build date soon!
I’ve never used regular honestly. The difference in rated power isn’t huge, but I just choose to run the better stuff in it in an effort to take the best care of it I can
@@OFFTHEGRIND one last thing. Where can your merch be found, if it’s available?
You can get it at getoffthegrind.com
Subbed within the first minute (first OTG vid) and chuckled at the the taters & sprouts into the stove and sitting on the rocks (and adjusting) because that's me.
Seeing that 13.2 mpg on the gauges made me cringe a little but then we're doing it for that 10% of the usage that brings us such joy.
Be sure to check the straps holding the cases for wear and to wash them. Saw a great vid on abrasion and wear of dirty climbing ropes and it was eye opening.
I was surprised to see the Kirkland Ford license plate frame. That's a simple piece of merch you could offer or you could support another channel. BTW, how was your buying experience with them?
BTW, another PNW'er. Now onto Part 2.
Hey John, thanks for the compliment and thanks for joining!
Bad gas mileage is not ideal but you’re right, that’s a small percentage of the use for this vehicle.
My experience with them was great! Barry was my salesman and he was amazing and made it all super painless. Not a bad idea with the merch though 🤔
👋 from north Idaho. Rigs lookin good .
I need to get to Idaho so bad! I love it there! Thanks!
Cool set up. I'd be a bit concerned that the fire extinguisher might not be up to the call of duty after being outside in all the elements.If there is a kitchen fire in the back of your Bronco, it also my be a bit of a chore to get to the extinguisher up behind the back window if the fire get's going real good. Best wishes
The kitchen fire is a good point. I hadn’t though about that. But I have a good friend who services these and he’s given me things to look out for and know when it’s no longer effective. He looked at it recently and said it’s still in great shape
Really digging how you got creative with the limited space of the Bronco compared to the Tacoma. Any plans for a walk around / setup for when you have the whole family with you with limited space?
I do miss having the bed of the Tacoma. It was really easy to throw stuff in and go. I will definitely do a walk around of that when I have some experience with it and really figure out what that is going to look like.
YEAH BUDDY, SHOUT PUT FROM BEND! LETS HIT SOME TRAILS SOMETIME!!
Maybe I will see you at Overland Expo PNW?
Awesome. I’m convinced. I’m ordering my Badlands asap.
Question. What do you think about the tailgate option. It’s one of the last decisions
PS. Do you have 6 cylinder automatic?
Congrats! Yes, it’s the v6 auto and it’s is a fantastic powertrain.
So the tailgate option looks freakin sweet!! For me the price is a bit steep, but that’s not for me to say. Would be really nice to have that extra cooking and prep space though
Next time you see a CAT scale you should weigh your set up. I'd love to know. My Tacoma TRD PRO weighs in at 6150lbs.
Ooof my Bronco weighs almost that with nothing on it lol! I would imagine fully loaded (including me) it is around 6,700.
You forgot a Fire Extinguisher and first aid kit, those are very important
I have both. I wasn’t intending a full walk around, more so just talking about what I had done for this trip specifically
Water system needs work. But Great video, Mahalo for sharing.
I completely agree. It was kinda a last-minute thing honestly but I will be looking for something to replace this. I am glad you enjoyed it though!
Nice vid. Curious, given the Bronco hard top has such a limited weight amount of 110lbs dynamic, any issues with RTT? How much is the tent weight and roam case weight?
That’s with the factory rack installed. The TrailRax system ups that to 300 dynamic and 850 static. This rack is endorsed by ford themselves so I have no issue with the weight I have on it. The ikamper is 120lbs and the case is 27lbs empty. I probably have 50 lbs worth of stuff in it
@@OFFTHEGRIND Thanks for the info!
Im in South Louisiana , its so hard to get to places that look like this. :(
Oh man, that’s rough. Hope you get to on occasion at least
What's your opinion on those goodyears? I considered them for my 4runner but ended up going w wild peak at3w for the 3peak snow rating, I've ran them before on the tacoma and never had any complaints with them.
Honestly I’m going to switch to the falkens most likely. I’m not a huge fan of the Goodyears
what month did you go tthere?
what's the mode of that Ikamper tent?
It’s a skycamp mini 2.0
Are you concerned with putting a 180lb RTT on the Bronco when switching to the Roam Desperado?
Kinda. I know the TrailRax will hold it and it is also distributed over a larger area, but there some weirdness out there as to what Ford actually rates the capacity at. Overall though, it will not stop me from making the switch
@@OFFTHEGRIND what about the desperado makes you want to switch? I only ask because I’m getting my 2-door Badlands next month after a 2 1/2 year wait and I’ve been shopping RTT’s
@@Dave-oe3kj There's a lot to that honestly. I really like the material they use, and it is completely blackout. Then they have huge windows, then a small window at the foot of the bed with an LED strip. I love the matress too. It is insanely comfortable. I love all the additional mounting points to it as well. I could genuinely go on and on about it, and hopefully I can make a video on it soon where I will lol! Congrats on finally getting your rig as well! Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram if you have it and I will answer any more questions you may have.
Bursaspor 🐊🐊🐊
Which company's tent you put on the roof?
It’s an ikamper skycamp mini
OK, where in Washington can you get gas for $3.60 a gallon?
Hahaha this was a dollar off with Safeway rewards
Do you like your Bronco better than your Tacoma?
Yes I do. It’s a better fit for me in many ways. I really miss having the bed though
wow where can I find the song @ 7:51?
It is called Stillness Within by Roots and Recognition. You can find it on Spotify
Im from the pendelton area bgreat area youre at
It’s an incredible area for sure!
Lol😂 um there's Rattle 🪇 snake 🐍 that love sunbathing on Rocks like that 🤔.
Oh trust me, I looked. lol
I like your channel I see you as a minimalist on camping , you don’t have that big gladiator on 40’s with that giant foot print and weight that literally destroys the environment…
👌👌👍
Sexy times!
You have enough flipping filler shots? You want to actually show us the actual road or the trail? It’s cool that you’re sponsored or whatever but I tried to watch this series to learn about the actual trail to see if I wanted to travel on it. You talked more about your bronco than anything else. I don’t even want to watch any of your other videos cuz you’re obviously not about the travel; you’re clickbait. All you do is push your sponsors for extra cash. And talk about your bronco. It’s disappointing.
Well this was the first video of the series. I had to drive 11 hours just to get off road so there wasn’t much exploring, I wanted to do a walk around for those interested in my setup. Day 2 is different but not sure you’d be a welcome addition to the channel anyways
