  • The 20th Anniversary of Ultimate Adventure goes big in Alaska! On Day 1 the group departs Wasilla Alaska, airs down, and engages 4x4 to tackle the deep water, bottomless mud, and gooey silt on the trail leading to the Knik Glacier. After getting stuck, suffering some axle and tire carnage, and fixing a few flat tires, Ultimate Adventure heads back to civilization to prepare for UA2019 Day 2. #UA2019 #UltimateAdventure #Offroading

    My family has been going to Knik for over 20myears. Off roading there is no big deal. Go to Eureka down the backside of Monument and on to Horse Pasture Pass. That is off roading in Alaska.

    Great opening footage. "Were heading to a glacier", and there's a jeep with no roof or doors, and another with a cracked windshield. You know you're in for a good video. Optimised by the comment "I wouldn't stick my finger in there", which was relevant, justified and the quote of the day!

    @Jman11129 4 года назад

    Man that is awesome I would love to take my Chevy trailboss on a trail like that after my BDS lift kit but In all honesty I would feel a lot more comfortable taking a jeep on a trail like that. It’s lighter, shorter wheel base, better approach and departure angles, and more clearance. Trails like that just prove why they are better off road rigs.

  • @willandrews9741
    @willandrews9741 4 года назад +1

    Love this stuff. I have a rig in mind for a someday kinda similar trip. Should u build a sweet rig and go or just buy a sweet UTV and do the trip? My favorite rigs are always the big boys the full size trucks that are newer like from diesel power products. Wow tho that’s an insanely expensive route to go tho. I’ve always wanted a 73-79 F-150-F350. Man those r just so beefy from the get go, even the half ton, comes with a 9 inch rear and Dana 44 front & np205 transfer case. Bulletproof parts from the start up to around 37 in tires.

    Cool video. Loved living in Alaska and wish I could do it again.
    Only feedback: video showed at least 2 different unsafe practices. First one was a guy leaning over the handle of the Hi-Lift jack while it was in use. Second was sitting in front of the tire sidewall while inflating. You should always be perpendicular to the sidewall to avoid injury should the tire pop.
