My knees would have been shaking at the chicken corners. Lol.
All episodes were epic! Thank you for making them. 🙌
Thank you & glad to hear you enjoyed the series. We appreciate your support!
That's a ginormous sleeping bag lol. For us we chickened on walking to that ledge. Beautiful area and great finale 🫡
Hahaha. Yeah, Christine gives me a lot of crap for that sleeping bag, but it's 100% worth it!
Waooo……. Que espectacular travesía, y unas vistas hermosas Gracias Gracias Gracias por compartir tus videos!🤗👍🏻😍😊
Thank you for watching. So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Man your Timelapse game is next level! Great video buddy!
Thanks dude! If I could film an entire video that was nothing but timelapses, and somehow tell a coherent story, I would do it. It's pretty much my favorite thing to do with the camera. Haha.
Excellent video.
I did the same route and camped the exact same spot. Beautiful place.
Thanks! That was such a cool spot to camp
What a fun trip!! Thank you for sharing your journey.
It was a GREAT trip!!!
Hey guys!! Wow, the scenery is spectaular!! Road looks a little scary though.... Looks like some amazing camping and exploring! Nice share!! 💙Terry and Terri
Hey! Yeah, that was one scenic trail, for sure! Not too sketchy, but then again, after experiencing Colorado mountain shelf roads .... our definition of sketchy has changed a bit. Haha. Thanks for watching!
@@WheretoNextOverland I can understand that! ;-) You are very welcome!
I just did this trail a few months ago, it was a great time. Good job on capturing how fun it is.
It really is a good time! Did you stop to check out the wind caves?
@@WheretoNextOverland No, unfortunately, we didn't, We did camp at the end right before the last part of Chicken Corners, which was a great spot. Then, the next day, we headed out and did two of the Moab Jeep trails before heading south. There are soo many great trails and areas to explore in Utah it is hard to pick which ones to do when being limited to a 2-week trip down to that area. I would really like to get back down there for more trails.
Excellent place to wrap the trip up. May want to put a little EDC kit together with a small flashlight that you can grab for those quick walks. The gazelle tents are pretty nice. I have an older T3 and it’s pretty spacious.
Thanks! And yeah .... you're right about the flashlights. Haha. Funny thing is, we have probably 4 flashlights stored in the Lexus at all times .... we're just always too dumb to remember to grab one before we go explore dark places. 🤣
Oh, and we JUST picked up a Gazelle T3 at Expo PNW last week. Really excited to put it to use!
HA!! Flashlight, headlamps... we made the same exact mistake near Bend, OR exploring lava caves. Loving the channel ☺️
Haha. Yeah, the whole no flashlight thing is becoming quite the trend for us, apparently. 🤣
Cool video guys! That cave looked sweet, didn’t even know that was up there.
Hey, thanks! Yeah, those caves made for great exploration at camp. By the way, it was great meeting you two at Expo PNW. Hope to see you there again next year!
@@WheretoNextOverland likewise! Next Expo season should make for an exciting one!
the commentary reminds me of the trail recon and lifestyle overland channels
Well, those are two pretty great RUclips channels to be compared to, so we'll take that as a compliment!
Amazing trip! We are almost there. Got most of our basics to do some yellow posts areound here. Tent, sleeping bags(sadly not as big as yours😅), lantern, air compressor, one burner stove, stainless steel 24oz kettle, table n chairs and one 2wd mazda cx-5 on all weather tires, lol. Hence yellow post camp spots that are easy to get to. Just need the insulated air mattress and are ready to go. Im saving up to get a 4wd truck or suv so we can do more advanced stuff and then just build from there based on need. Your channel was my first dive into overlanding and really love your content. You got the ball rolling for us. 😊
Sounds like you have the basics covered. I always say starting with the basics, getting out there and camping a few nights, and then learning what gear you actually need is the way to go!
You'll be surprised how many amazing dispersed campsites you can make it to with your 2WD CX-5.
Once you get out on your first trip, let us know how it went .... and if we can help answer any questions, feel free to ask!
We're all about helping / encouraging people to get out and explore / enjoy our public land!
@WheretoNextOverland thank you! Do you think i should still air down on all weather tires, commuter tires, for flat dirt roads that go to yellow posts?
@dvsmike airing down probably isn't necessary, although even a few psi less can make a difference in ride comfort. If it's smooth graded gravel or dirt roads I wouldn't worry about it. If the road is rougher or rockier, you might drop a few PSI just for comfort. If the road has a lot of sharp rocks, airing down can help avoid a puncture as well.
But given you're on all seasons and (I assume) don't have a ton of sidewall to work with, I wouldnt recommend you go too low.
@@WheretoNextOverland you're a treasure! Gracias!
We were in Moab for the first time the third week of April and Chicken Corners was on my list of trails to do. We made it all the way to the end! Amazing drive. I did the walk along the ledge, not as scary as the videos make it out to be. We went out and back in one day. When did you make the drive?
We were there in April as well, probably just a week or so before you. Such a fun trail!
I still can't believe that I had to do it at night with lightning all around last Oct.
Oh wow ... I'm sure that ramped up the pucker factor by quite a bit!
@@WheretoNextOverland It was so dark you don't realize there's a cliff off to the side.
Ommmmg connilee would definitely not enjoy all those shelf roads
Great stuff I love it out there! Are you still running with the AHC suspension or swapped it out?
Yep, still running AHC and it has been great, even north of 260K miles. The only AHC related maintenance we've done is checked / adjusted neutral pressures a few times to make sure they are in spec (via Techstream) and replaced the OEM rear coils with King Springs, which was necessary to keep the AHC functioning properly when we added the ~200lb drawer system to the back and are fully loaded on trips
My 2004 LX still has the AHC at 205,000 it is a super robust system. I think most just dont understand it. I would definitely repair it if any part ever failed. I do work at a Lexus dealership which makes my repair cost much less.@@WheretoNextOverland
@@user-fs5jo6im3j totally agree, although I'm curious .... does the Lexus dealership you work at ACTUALLY know how to maintain AHC? In my experience, it seems like most dealerships don't understand the system very well and just start replacing things that probably don't need to be replaced
We are like everyone else, we have techs here I would not let change my oil and a few that I would let do anything in fact in the coming months I will have the engine pulled to reseal the upper oil pan which leaks a bit. While there new motor and trans mounts, exhaust manifolds and probably the starter. The tech I use is the most meticulous I have ever seen. He is a machine and likely makes well over $200k per year.@@WheretoNextOverland
Yeah that's fair. A great tech makes ALL the difference
You need to get that Gazelle tent. To be honest with you though. I would do this trail if I was alone or with someone else with a rig. I would not take my wife or a loved one along because I can not have another life on my conscience if something happened.
We actually just picked up a Gazelle tent at Overland Expo PNW and are REALLY excited to start using it!
@@WheretoNextOverland You are going to love it. I am 6'3 height and I can stand up and change, I can walk out of the tent instead of crawling out. It's great. Enjoy.
