    Just so that you know .. me, my wife and 1st born son Derek , who is now 30 years old did exactly the same thing.. we drove out west and stayed in the Colorado Rockies ...near Colorado Springs ... we never went back east....only but a few times to visit family ..since then we have built our dream mountain home and live on 10 acres right behind Pikes Peak at 10,000 feet elevation.. Our journey started 31 years ago .. probably for the same reasons yours is starting now .. God Bless and enjoy your journey ..we absolutely love where we are and continue to thank the Lord for what he has provided ..
    luv watching your journey ....

    What I love about this video: it’s real! This is great for folks that are new to the Jeep world and “over landing”…
    Another thing I like:
    You took out a stock Jeep and a standard teardrop trailer. Nothing over the top, only stuff that many people can actually afford in the real world. With some “off road” trailers topping out at $130k+ it’s nice to see that you can still go out and live with much less. It brings it down to a realistic level.
    I too am a musician (drummer) and have been all over the world, I’ve been on every inch of the roads you were traveling on, and it totally hit home! Thanks for the video!

      @@houstonartz4697 I get 15 on the backroads and city in the F150, but it is a truck and I am good with that. That Wrangler wouldn't pull my new jetski above 4th gear (manual), on flat interstate. I spoke with the dealership about upgrading my gearing with an option that was available with the JL model and they said sure, but it will void the warranty. With the truck, I have no problems. I know the Gladiator would have handled it too, but I wasn't willing to take a chance on the other issues. I must say that I really HATE the electronic assist clutch on the Wrangler. The engagement point was constantly changing and it is an unnecessary "enhancement" to the clutch function.

      Never get your car reliability information from a mechanic. They are mechanics all they ever see are problems. They don't see the tens of thousands of other vehicles that never show up at a shop for serious or major issues.
      That's like a doctor claiming there are no healthy people in the world because the people they see have medical problems.

    Im a first time viewer and so far i am enjoying ur channel. It has mixed feelings for me. The last ten years or so i worked i had planned to end my days boondocking and traveling. I was researching what i wanted to travel in. A pickup for sure , shell on the back pulling a small camper. Well life went all to hell , got hurt , couldn't work , that was the worse part. Not being able to do what I wanted to . Ended up on disability, lost my five acres of land , the house i had build myself, everything, lost most of my 401k , the rest i had pulled out trying to save my place. Big mistake, throw away so much money to end up losing it anyway. Finally my old F150 give out on me. I was actually homeless for about eight months. Found this old mobil home. Now i sit and dream of what could have been. My credit score was 800 at one time, i swear thats the truth. Now i can't get anything on credit. I live two miles one way to the dr. That four miles round trip is pure hell sometimes. Don't even want to talk about getting to the grocery store. I will never have another car or truck. I can at least watch videos of people like yourself living your dream and i am really glad you are doing it. To late for me but watching videos like urs and other people give me a smile. Ty for some absolutely beautiful scenery. Stay safe and get home safe.

We’ve hit most every Jeep trail in the San Juan Mountains, many times to Animas Forks! I say that to say this, not too many men would venture into the places you went.

We absolutely CAN make the best vehicles on the globe, the dollar matters more. I went Japanese in my vehicle choices about 20 years ago after many issues with the domestic brands. I still have two of those vehicles, both with almost 300,000 trouble free miles.

    I’ve had two Jeeps, Wrangler and a Grand Cherokee Limited. I would never buy another! Go Toyota! I’ve had a Camry, Tacoma, and now a Tundra. All three have been problem free.

      Had 2007 jeep Sahara, traded it in for 2017 jeep Sahara 4 Dr. Test drove it from Tucson to Prescott and back.No mechanical problems but it was noisy as hell, migraine hole trip. Fortunately CarMax has a 30 day return policy with no questions asked and total refund. Same dealer bought a 2023 Toyota 4runner Sr5, 4x4, 22k miles and its a dream. Rock solid car and planning a 6200 mile trip this summer. Even at 80 y/o life is still a journey even without a covered wagon.

      I bought a used f350 6.7L diesel- 2wd (so sits lower thn 4wd), gets 20 mpg when not towing 10k lb trailer (10mpg when i am towing). Regular maint includes oil chane every 5-7k miles. Crank down windows, no ac, so I have to find altitude in summers. Toyotas also seem to be a great choice - even their 4wd mini van, although clearance might not be what you want/need for your trip. Fun to watch your adventures! Stay safe and have fun 🙂

    What an awesome video! Aside from the Jeep issues, it looked like an amazing trip! I really enjoyed your choices of music for everything, and the editing was excellent. Being a resident of Colorado, I know many of the places you went but haven't gone to a few of them quite yet. This is definitely incentive to get out there this summer! Bravo and thank you!

    Just finished watching from beginning to end and enjoyed every moment. The wife and I have a 2003 wrangler and a teardrop that we take to remote locations as well. We will be going to the Grand Canyon and attending the overland expo in Flagstaff this year and plan on heading North to visit Antelope canyon and make our way back East into Southern Colorado with a bunch of stops and stays along the way. Subscribed and look forward to future videos.

    Relax. I own a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4/door. I have clocked over 90,000.00 miles with zero problems. I do my own maintenance and repair. I know enough to own some tools and online repair Manuel paid $89.99 for it. It is the same manual the Jeep Techs use at the Jeep Dealerships. I”m enjoying your trip footage and comments.

    EXCELLENT video recording of your adventure! I appreciated the use of various camera angles (especially the high-angle shot from the top of the teardrop camper), the intermittent use of time lapse and background music, the drone footage, and the overall editing and assembly of the final cut. Thanks for sharing!

    02 sensor issues with Jeeps, seems to be a fairly common issue and I’m surprised none of those dealers had them on hand . I wonder if it might be a good idea to preemptively order a full set of sensors to always have on hand to whoop out at the dealership when they say yeh we don’t have any.

    My 22 year 4 runner with 330k miles did great cross country and back. We did have to ad 3 quarts of motor oil over the 8k mile trip. Like my nephew said if 3 quarts of motor oil was the problem than you had no problem considering the age and mileage of your car.

    What a beautiful journey. Colorado is a beautiful state. I traveled 10 months with a trucker from the east coast making to California.. Its amazing how small our world is and how big at the same time. I enjoyed the off road trips , but i don't know if i would have been brave enough on a couple of the roads you chose . I might have been the dog at that point that would hide in the camper. I have to say that once you got the Jeep truly fixed you were fearless.

    I MUST COMPLEMENT YOU ON VERIOUS WONDERFUL OBSERVATIONS MADE OBVIOUS WITH YOUR TRIP VIDEO. First THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THE DRIVING AND CAMP SET UP AND TARE DOWN AND VIDEO IT, FOR THE MOST PART. Your MILD MANOR AND SOFT SPOKEN WAY WITH YOUR DOG WAS SO REFRESHING TO SEE. YOUR WAY WITH YOUR DOG IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO HAVE AN ANIMAL ENJOY YOU, AND YOU ENJOY YOUR DOG.
    SECOND, THE FRUSTRATION OF THE JEEP NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR TRIP WAS DIFFICULT, I COULD TELL, BUT YOUR WONDERFUL MANOR PREVALED, AND THE PET AND YOU JUST WORKED THROUGH THE DIFFICULTY. YOUR MANOR WAS A MODEL FOR US ALL TO PRACTICE.
    THIRD, THE HIGH COUNTRY ROADS WITH STEEP DROP-OFFS SCARED ME JUST SEEING IT ON VIDEO, HOW DID YOU WEATHER SUCH HIGH AREAS ON SNOW. IT REALLY LOOKED SCARY.
    FOURTH, YOUR ELEVATED MORALE WAS OBVIOUS AS YOU EXPLAINED IN YOUR CALM AND VERY MANNER, AND SHOWED APPRECIATION TO SHARE SUCH GLORIOUS AREAS OF NATURAL BEAUTY, IT WAS WONDERFUL SEEING YOU ENJOY, EVEN WITH ALL THE WORK IT TOOK TO GET THERE. MY COMPLEMENTS.
    FIFTH, I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT VERY SAME TRIP, HOWEVER, I THINK THE SMALL TEAR DROP WAS SOMEWHAT SMALL. TELL ME HOW YOU ADAPT TO THE SMALL SIZE, AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POSITIVES, AND NEGATIVES OF THE TEARDROP, FOR SUCH A TRIP. PLEASE LET ME KNOW: NMASTRI@AOL.COM BEST REGARDS, AND HAPPY TRAILS........

    First dog in a lifetime of dogs who DIDN’T like to ride in the car! Funniest thing I’ve seen. They have their own personalities that’s for sure! She is a lovely girl, thanks for rescuing, not buying! 👏👏👏👏
    ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️It would be great to see inside your camper. I need to see things in my “Minds Eye” to where you are, what you are cooking. Would dearly love to get into another camping series, but just can’t without seeing where you are. So sorry, probably a woman thing. Safe travels!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
