- On today’s Episode we get down and conquer Fordyce Jeep Trail. This trail is arguably the most difficult trail in CA. We had everything from carnage, to a rollover and some damage to components we didnt think would give out. This episode also continues the Trifecta so make sure to watch Rubicons adventure and continue on here….

The trail fixes are great. Shows how capable the team is not just driving but wrenching also. Great series so far!
Fordyce is def one of the toughest. I’d give it to the trails in Johnson valley tho. Keep the awesome videos coming!
I love seeing reactions when people accomplish something they are surprised and proud of!
Love seeing all the IFS out there getting after it.
Yes, the four dice is a lot harder than the Rubicon. Very good run. Been doing it since the 70s with California four-wheel-drive association called Sierra trek just finished it but I drive a Toyota 76FJ 40 with 35 glad you got to drive it
@@stevengamsby8376 that’s awesome and we are glad too I think it’s a ton better than Rubicon when it comes to actual wheeling
Freakin LEGENDARY…. Team Bronco Repp’d HARDCORE!
👻 awesome, good job rc getting that wide beast through, and sherm, wow driving on your side. props
WOW! That is one hell of a difficult trail! George, you know you woulda done better if you were spotting you. :)
You boys know how to play! Great video!
Great video! I love your content
Great video! What an epic trail and views!
Unforgettable trifecta babyyyyy
KC was putting in work on the Raptor. We need a skid plate update after this trail for sure.
Broncos are great vehicle's ford just should have built the steering racks more durable though thats my only complaint about them.
Dope ass video!!!
I’m still waiting on them hats 🔥🔥🤘🏽
Nice driving yall ❤
Thanks 💯
lmfao KCs relief completing that hill hahahahahahahahah
Dang lmtlss your in my feed here now lol
The beater 4runner was perfect for that trail. Don’t feel bad about nothing. Too risky for my baby, but wouldn’t mind doing it with a built beater.
@@Good-luck-Jonathan that was part of the challenge for us but definitely understand. I would say with a nice built beater it would be so much more fun. Especially caged
You don't need big builds for this trail, though it is significantly tougher than the Rubicon. Some pals of mine and I did it last month as part of a quadfecta (Back to Back Dusey Ershim, Barrett Lake, Fordyce Creek and Rubicon, all within a week. Our little Willys and two 1950's Land Rovers ran on 31" (7.50x16") pizza cutters. Three of us drove every winch hill on Fordyce (Two 1950's Land Rovers and one Willys) It was a ton of fun for us old guys in old rigs. No bypasses..... This big equipment is nice for certain things, but several of us had an easier time of it in our smaller rigs. Great trail !! I was driving one of the old Rovers, It's never trailered, drove it to and between all the trails (also out to Moab twice this year).
@@timmcooper294 quadfecta? I’m intrigued that’s awesome!! You guys have any content I would love to see it.
@@TrailMilitia Check out Jpetrowich "Fordyce Creek Meets Vintage Iron part 1" And "Fordyce Creek meets vintage iron part 2" I'm the guy in the grey Land Rover, my buddies green one had burnt a valve driving down from Oregon (yes, like me, he drove it) He just ran all four trails on 3 cylinders !! (The entire Rubicon , from Wentworth springs to Tahoe took 9 hours, all in one day) Other videos of us doing Pritchett Canyon in Moab, ect....... There will be a new one soon of us doing Coyote Canyon in Moab..... That's a badass little trail, but our little rigs did it ! Should also soon be one of me doing the hot tubs and Escalator. People have a tough time wrapping their heads around how capable these ancient rigs are. Do not under estimate them !!
Wow rough trail.
What case are you using on top of the white Bronco? And is that a Gezelle T4 mounted on the opposite of the the case? Looks like it fits nicely on the half rack. Thanks.
“My Subaru could’ve done this”
@@a36538 I believe it
ours either. lol
How long did it take you damn eagle to meadow should only take 5 hrs at the most granted I've been wheeling it for 43 years but damn
@@dwaynemartin5174 we had a rig in 2 wheel drive and one with no steering plus yes it was our first time so we were hangin and enjoying it
How are those aluminum talon skids holding up
Talon Skids were amazing on both Broncos protected everything there were supposed to correctly. We had one small weld give up but I think it was the perfect storm between rock and angle of how it was hit to cause it.
Wicked
What lift and tire is the grey jlur on?
@@4WheeledAdventures he’s got coilovers and 38s not sure the size of lift tho. Front coils only
Nowhere near the first bronco's through. I think you missed that by a year and a half.
@@scleco93 if any other 6gs did it without bypassing there is zero content on it which is possible either way sick AF if they did 🤟🏽. The only other group was about a yr ago and they turned around before winch hill 1 from what people said but there might be some trail ninjas out there
when the tie rod failed i wanted to throw up KC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm under no illusion that driving a stick in that situation is much more challenging. But I would love to know if having the crawl gear would have made any of those obstacles easier? From the point of the broncos that ran out of gearing and had to winch not that they were stuck her in a bind.
He actually does have a crawl gear in the yota but going lower would definitely help in almost any rock situation. As for the Bronco after going through content and it basically going limp right after due to Rack breakage, I think thats really what it was… The system was already in limp mode combined with location and it caused it not to go. Ive been in worse situations and it pushes the 35s no problem.
@@TrailMilitia thank you so much for replying and please keep making the videos I'll keep liking them
Thank you for being modest. Minus the Hammers, Fordyce is the last of the Wild Wild West, I’ve seen very nice broke rigs get completely driven over for being trail plugs out there.
If you’re a dick out there, Ca wheelers don’t play around. Be respectful and you’re golden.
@@max7143 totally agree we were looked at like ohh shit but we understand the game make it or move out the way. That’s also why we chose Sunday hoping most people hit this on a sat. End of the day we are all out there to have fun and wheel our junk.
Who's that diety cowboy in shorts❤
pretty sure they call him Kneecaps
I know eli has beaten his bronco up but has he ended up somehow with one of the more capable bronco builds out there? 75% of the way through video so hope he doesn't embarrass me later, ha!
@@warrencarter665 it’s as capable as all the others he’s had a few repairs and upgrades to keep it together
Who said it couldn't be done?😂
@@Booger4runner basic peeps 😂
Some of the video is from Rubicon….did you put it in as filler?
@@HOGGSTATUSJK is it really lol everything is a blur since we did it all together all of this came from cards called Fordyce but with 3 cams there is a slight chance a couple clips snuck in I’ll have to go back and check now. Thanks for the heads up
@@TrailMilitiaYeah, not a biggie! All that matters is the memories and fun you all had. Fordyce is no joke and you all did a great job going up WH1 and WH3! You all really got lucky with the lower water crossings as well. 👍🏼👏🏼
@@HOGGSTATUSJK I think I see the clip it’s that small corridor. Absolutely we will be back next year if they don’t close it down for maintenance and yes on the water that was probably the biggest worry in our books before getting there lol
15:24 bless you
😂 Thanks
