Ultimate Adventure 2019 Episode 1, Off Roading to Knik Glacier in Alaska

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- 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.
Susan Halvorson this was just the first day. We went to Eureka the next day.
The bridges across the flats have been there longer then the 90s
Looks like fun! I don't get all the GRUMPY people upset about this AWESOME FREE CONTENT... You peeps don't have to watch!?! I say well done! Thanks!
I like all the super built rigs, then here come some locals in an old scottsdale and a 4-wheeler lol
That’s usually the way it goes, overseas “overlanders” share the roads with stock Toyota Corollas.
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!
Sweet Cummins, this event looks like a blast. Breaking out all the toys to get through.
That local dude in the 97 TJ is great. Just so laid back 😄
I love his honesty..we need more honest people
2:30
"I Cannot tell you how many vehicles have either been lost or stranded out here, just this year"...
Somebody send this guy the memo!
The diesel Jeeps are pretty slick, would like to know more about those babies!
It’s a Jeep. With a diesel in it.
@Noneya Business It's too bad you can't get the diesel in a two door. That's what I would want!
Awesome to see some older Ford's and internationals in the mix this year!
Saw some of the guys at autozone in wasilla this summer. Also seen them driving in the highways a few times. Pretty cool to see the rigs in person up here.
Wrangler is an all time classic! Love it so much so many years!
Wranglers are just the Dodge version of a CJ, which is a civilian version of a real Jeep.
Lived in Alaska 37 years, all my wilderness off roading was while Moose/Caribou hunting...
Wow you guys are releasing longer episodes, I applaud it! Thank you
Rian Beaird they’ll probably put the rest behind a paywall, just put out previews for the rest
Would never buy a smitty built anything again used mine twice and it caught fire. When I called for warranty they told me it was an electrical problem and not covered replaced it with a warn and havent looked back
Finally
a good show ta watch
must see TV.
✌🏾
Great idea!
I was actually able too see many of these rigs as they passed through my hometown of Whitehorse. Very cool to see these trucks and wave to the drivers as they passed by. Sadly I couldn't stop since I was working...
I’ll make scrambled eggs for everyone then I’ll pipe all the woman
Cant really understand what tha orange JK was trying when building a "two way" JK... lolol Made me laugh a bit. Great trip and location !! We have doing some with this spirit and its the best!! fun fun fun
@the itty bitty boos by
This was an old build that the magazine did a few years back.
LoL the trail really is on my a half mile long and the rest is glacier beds! LoL "lost trucks" out in out in knik are almost all abandoned cars/trucks. They are showing the 4wheeler trails isn't much. LoL
A-SALT Trent said it is more scenic than hard. 🤷🏼♂️
Alaska is a playground for extreme outdoors enthusiasts!
What happened to introducing all the drivers and rigs? This video was very disappointing for being the 20th anniversary. Hopefully the next 6 days are a lot better and get back to the original video quality you guys have always had.
Agree
Because we have to pay for the good one on MT demand 👎🏻 😞
I do pay for motortrend on demand. There is nothing on there at all for UA2019
Brookwood Moto Co and they have a special going right now for $12 for a year. Which is well worth it.
I don't understand why they put it on RUclips first instead of their pay to watch service. The previous UA videos on MTOD are no different from the RUclips videos
It is funny that they used this to start the ultimate adventure. Guy drive stock trucks and suvs to the glacier weekly with out even airing down.
brett knighten where would you recommend wheeling in Alaska that is more challenging?
@@HarrySituations many of the other places they have gone including Denali highway area or even do it in the winter to add some challenges or go in to the mountains past the glacier
I could watch this all day. Beautiful area. I love this type of off-roading.
Love that ol Ford
Thanks!
Those are most a small nest of spider trails built by 4wheelers and side by sides. They sure are tearing up those 4wheeler trails. LoL look how narrow a lot of those trails are.
Kevlar tires in Alaska. Lol. Man up. I’ve been going to Jim’s creek since the mid 80’s. Ruby lake trail should have been your first trail. Jim’s is ok. But not really all that challenging. Then I’d hit buffalo mine area and do the trails towards Sutton. And further on towards kinds River. Much better off road areas. And can be done without touching pavement if you know the trails. The guys they took with them groan Alaska Don’t really know the real trails.
I meant Kings River.
I LOVE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!!!! Thank you so much!!! You made my day!!!
Someone please get that old man a better jack.
Awesome. Thank you for putting it on the Tube.
Going out to play at Jim's creek is even more fun in the winter.
Only time to go.
Agreed! Busting thru the overflow ice is terrifying. I miss Alaska sometimes.
To everyone, and people from Alaska! DO NOT go to Jim's creek.
That's the jack you brought on Ultimate Adventure.....!?!
No kidding! Who brings a floor jack ?
Looks incredible that is definitely on my bucket list
Thank you so very much for putting this full series on here!! Finally a reward for not unsubbing when d.e.d. and roadkill left 😂
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.
Love those cornbinders!
Amazing video. Even better scenery.
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.
I love it! There is always, always that one hill, mud hole or rock that the first guy who tries it, fails...and everyone else has to try it. It's always great when the hole of infinite suck wins tho! This is great content!
Why is this not on the motor trend on demand app that I’m paying money for..... seriously get it together motor trend
Love the Scout
I was wondering if this was something the guys from Dirt Every Day would be doing. Lo and behold. Fred Williams is out here doing it and with a diesel no less.
....funny thing is I could spend half a day out in knik before I got bored. It's not a huge park.
it was my moooost favourite show😭😭😭😭
Should have done a comprehensive intro to the rigs at the beginning.
Hey motortrend, can we get the full episodes on the paid app please?
I think I'm more annoyed that this episode isn't even on the paid subscription. Or atleast that I can find. It was released to RUclips first 🤷♂️
bashatonic yeah dude wtf?? I noticed that too
Part of the reason I pay monthly is to get this stuff on the paid channel early and yet it's not available there only here? WTF?
They are up on Motor Trend now.
The power of google
What rocket scientist decided beadlock rims were not necessary for a truck challenge like this?
Steve probable someone like me. 😁
Soo much complaining guys. I’m just enjoying all the rigs and the beautiful scenery;)
gabe A can I like this comment more than once?
*pretty deep pretty gooey pretty awesome*
Really happy to see that they have embraced the future with LED headlights
Looks extremely cold. Is there a Warmer version of this? Too bad Florida doesn’t have such beauty. All we have now is land developers and new subdivisions for northern transplants.
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.
Outsider Wasilla? Um no. Try outsider Palmer. I live here, why is Palmer always over looked?
minute 5:05, RIP that Jeeps front end haha he took a good old hit there!
Driver's meeting!!!!!! Look forward to the full coverage on MTOD.
So excited to see this!
This is great stuff!
Smittybuilt Wrangler was awesome
love this wish I was there
Top 💯💯💯🔝🔝🔝🔝
He goes off road in Alaska with a Prius Jack
I’m Posting DAILY Off-road Videos
@ 6:42 who came along with the proper jack to get that big wheel off the ground to change??
Proper jack? You must be kidding. Why would anyone bring a floor jack out trail riding? Bottle jack would have been way better, more versatile, and take up less space.
I love the ultimate adventure just wish they were a lot longer episodes, I am sure in the begining we got the whole episodes without going to a paid channel, I hate that you have to pay.
The quality of rigs has gone down and it seems there are less and less people every year.
I'm note sure. I can't speak for the decreasing number of people but, I'd rather see rigs like this run the Adventure, as opposed to $150k-$200k, indestructible Ultra4 rigs that run every obstetrical without hesitation. This feels like a much more everyman adventure.
I’ve been to this glacier on my quad fun trails.
Thank you for finally uploading the Alaska UA. I was beginning to think you weren’t going too. It’s nice to see that my home State is just as hard on your Pro rigs as it is on our home built ones. 😁
Omg the UA2012 double-ended JKJ 😂😍 damm 3:07
That 77 green ford looks like Ferd.
Can Toyota's go on this trip or is this an american thing? I would love to go on this trip!! Love the vid looking forward to the next
If you search just right on RUclips, an old UA has clampy
Evans Elaban it isn’t specific to one make or model but it is invite only.
Thats a bummer I guess it's you know thats going to get you in then. Thx
You can apply to come along as a reader. Three new readers are invited each year and Toyotas have come along in the past.
thx for the heads up will have to look that up on their website. One day I diff would wanna go one one of those. My truck is not in any kind of shape yet to tackle that kind of journey but it will.
I live on Knik River Rd, wish I had looked up when you guys were gonna be here! It's a fun trip.
What a killer trip
I've driven to that glacier and hunted moose in those mountains before. Very cool to see this on YT
Why do I even pay MOTD if this isn’t on there???
Shame
I know right. I have it as well and it's not on there. So dumb
It will be. For an additional fee!
Stopped watching anything motortrend once the paywall went up!
I'm very disappointed that I can't watch this on motor trend app for 2 years it's my favorite series
Anyone else notice the Rubicon sticker on the 1997 TJ? Overall it looked like a fun trip though.
7.52 look Cooper what a ballerina he is
Oh I've rallied a Suzuki sx4 out there so it isn't that hard of wheeling besides close to the glacier only really.
Man This Is My Dream. Hopefully I Have The Money To Do Something Like It One Day
When will these be posted on the motor trend app? Having a hard time finding it on the phone app. Can't wait to watch the rest.
They usually upload one a day all week for things like these.
Bronco!!!!!!!!!
Why don't we have the whole ultimate adventure 2019 on motor trend on demand it was one of the main reason I subscribed ?!!!
It's going to cost more!!!
Right
too much talking not enough 4wding
Is this the same trail Top Gear US did? That was a great episode.
Its funny how small amount of work and offroad they got compared to amount of money and modyfications in those cars. I miss Camel Trophy, the real "Ultimate Adventure" :/
Hey now, they trailered their rigs all the way up there... that's gotta count for something
@Offroad Design Camel Trophy was participated almost stock cars (not mention stronger CV's and few bash plates). In similiar amount of time... but. But they sink them to the roof, build's bridges and roads just to move forward... not run on opoular ,,trails" and dig into ocassional mudholes near to traill just to make good photos.
@Offroad Design i know cars used in Ultimate Adventure was proper builds i follow many of them from very begining of build, but for such amount of mods, this is not challenging enough. This routes will be ultimate for stock Jeeps on 32's but not for those monsters. ;/
@Offroad Design and not mentioned... Land Rovers in Camel Trophy have open diffs (no limited slip or something and in Discovery only 2 pinion diffs) and 8500lbs Winches. Check videos of what they do and how they perform reaching camps. Drivers, Pilots and even sometimes jurnalist must dig, pull or push those cars just to make 50miles per day)
It’s just amazing that anyone would even consider allowing participants to not run beadlocks!
I thought I was going to see the glacier wasn’t that the highlight
Great content! Keep it up!
Gotta go see the glaciers before they are gone. What a beautifully ironic trip.
Love your show, I do think you guys should be camping all the time on these episodes And not going to a hotel.That’s just my opinion
is this season coming to motor-trend site? i subscribed solely to watch ultimate adventure 2019 because i thought you guys weren't posting it here.
This looks like a lot of fun and at the same time it is incredibly sad to watch.
'Would love to see ChrisFix's Hummer take on this trail.
Me too
Looks like an awesome time. Will there be a UA2020
Fred is awesome
Love the show but never see any of them use a samp bogger tire at all....why not?
You should camp also rather than staying in a hotel . That would be ultimate
Any one remember the cable show alaska 4x4 or adventures dont remember the exact name but they drove across alaska 4 years ago it was awesome
Alaska offroad warriors is what your thinking of. You can watch it on amazon prime. The whole season is on there.
Top gear did it too
Yes
Only one Land Cruiser. What a disappointment
