Overlanding Utah: Not your typical overland trip
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2019
- A short film produced by Offtrak Expeditions on our trip heading north through the Utah BDR. This trip was nothing like we expected and was reported as the worst weather to hit the area since 1991. Snow, sleet, rain, hail, high winds, winter warnings were a daily occurrence on this week-long adventure at the end of May in 2019. Enjoy!

My wife and I drive the LR3. The blue LR4 is driven by our youngest son. The silver FJ is driven by our oldest son and his girlfriend drives the white LR4 and has been an awesome addition to our family. We do things together as a family. We drove sports cars together, then motorcycles, and now 4x4s. We've done multiple BDRs and look forward to the next off road adventure together.
How reliable have the LR4s been? I've always been interested in them. How would you compare it's performance to the FJ?
What are the car configs? Which engines are on the LR
I love the fact that they completed this journey without all of the crazy accessories/products others seem to be promoting in their videos. Besides the camera work, great soundtrack.
From the b roll to the drone shots this was filmed, cut, scored and produced ridiculously well. One of if not the best overland type videos I have ever seen.
Even the horrible shaking shots, have more quality that most utubers out there.. Maybe its time for a gymbal ;)
We thought this might get only a couple hundred views or so since it's so long and it takes us longer to put out content. So to see it explode and everyone's comments is crazy. Thank you to everyone for that!
A little more explanation on things. We are a family that travels together and likes to have fun. We are still learning, we're not perfect and don't try to be. But we go out as much as we can and get better everyday. How else should you learn?
Tire pressures in the beginning. Yes we aired down. One, because we were at 45psi driving on the highway for 2 days, two because it's more comfortable, and 3 we saw the weather dropping and it's always better to be prepared before you run into issues.
Editing, it's a one man band. Trying to film, take photos, edit etc all while I lead and try to help newer drivers through new experiences. I understand it's not perfect, but this is fun for me outside my normal job. If you dont like it, then that's cool too. It's not for everyone.
Tires, we dont run MT tires because the ATs are better for 99% of everything we do. We arent going out trying to find danger or get a trophy for going through mud. We want to go to places others only read about online. If that's taking a paved road then great, hard packed that's good too. We arent going for best 4x4 extreme test award here.
Equipment, we do go prepared. Even on easy trails we have people die in the NW every year because they ran out of water and didnt air down their tires. Only a few miles from an exit. We'd rather be comfortable and safe then stripped down and "rugged".
Hopefully that answers your questions a bit. Please know we appreciate all of your support and hope we could provide at least a little entertainment while sharing our families story!
I watched . I laughed at some stuff. You are cool and the family vibe is neat. Keeping it real is the best. See you on the trail
How he the LandRovers been holding up for y'all?? I've been really Considering an lr3 or lr4 for a while now but get nervous from some of the horror stories I've seen on the internet.
So far I've researched the LR4 and k ow about the timing chain guide issues which were solved mid 2012 from what I understand but still have to look into the lr3.
Your approach mirrors my own! Looking forward to watching the video. I am in the process of preparing a Defender 110 for outdoor adventure.
@@shanet7511 I've heard great things about the LR3 and 4. If that's the platform you're passionate about, I say go for it. It will make your adventures that much more enjoyable.
Offtrak Expeditions how the reliability been on the Discovery? I was looking at getting one but not sure now.
Nice to finally see non-Jeep over landing crew. Cool. Couldn’t get to the end of the vid but awesome filming.
I'm glad you enjoyed the part you could watch, thank you!
@Scott C. Nonsense!! LR's will go pretty much anywhere and if they are looked after and serviced properly .. will just keep going .. in comfort!! LR has a well earned reputation as an extremely capable vehicle. Any vehicle will have problems if you don't take care of them.
Most groups are Toyota’s. Toyota is to overlanding what jeeps are to off roading

Best Driver of the day award goes to the lady in the white truck. 42:15 "How'd she do that!" lol Judicious use of throttle steering! Nice job.
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, great job on the video!!!
So awesome! Thank you for showing us a bit of Utah.
Amazing job on the film. It's a lot of hard work doing it yourself, and still trying to participate in the adventure. You knocked it out of the park. Killer job on the edit and color grade.
I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the cinematography! BUT...
Please, adjust either your music volume, or your voice volume. I had to keep cranking my system to hear you talk, then turn it down for the booming music tracks.
Other that that? Dood, I can't wait to finish putting my truck together, so I can get back out off the beaten path, thanx to videos like this one!
Great video, too bad you had such crappy weather. I go backcountry exploring in Southern Utah every Spring and know firsthand how treacherous wet roads become and you sure had more than your share of them! Thanks for sharing your family adventure!
Nice video. I've been in UT since 1980, got my first L88 (defender 90) in 1973, safari roof, etc. Drove a 1999 Disco II for 15 years, an RR 09 HSE, and I'm still driving an LR4 HSE Lux 2016. I drove Land Rovers in Argentina and Bolivia, where roads are optional. If you take care of the vehicles, they will last a long time. I've been in 16 countries, retired military. I service my vehicles with Amsoil 100% synthetic oil, change the oil every 20 thousand miles. There is nothing better than getting dirty in style.
20 th miles,.?.hell we change oil every 5-10 th ks,.diesel,.only 4x4 is manual,diesel.2 diffs,manual transfer box.lockers.no tech..
Well done and thanks for sharing your adventure! Your film does a fantastic job setting the tone for traversing the southern Utah backcountry and highlighting the unique landscape. As a fellow PNW native myself, I love adventuring in southern Utah and look forward to someday duplicating your route. Also, very cool to see the LR4s tackling the terrain. Looking forward to your next film!
Thanks for watching! Second time in Utah and it's absolutely insane coming from the Cascades to this. I love it.
Thank you for all the deatiled explaination, this is great. We are currently building our LR4 2012 HD to fit our family of 4 and this is very helpful. Can’t wait to meet up somewhere.
That's awesome! Even with the seats up there is still a ton of room in the back of an LR. Absolutely a great vehicle to travel and explore with. As you can see, they can make it through some pretty intense stuff without help.
Great to see the Disco's gettin dirty. It shouldnt take the owners to realise that you do NOT use your brakes on a muddy hill decent. It stops the car doing what its supposed to do. At least everyone had a go and thats what its all about. Cheers from Australia.
Found your channel three days ago... has taken me all three days to finish watching... it's rare I watch something with that kind of loyalty... if all your content is this amazing I'm definitely subbing... I love love love Utah and I dream of being an lr4 owner but their reputation for reliability has kept me away.... awesome videos... living the dream..
I keep hearing everyone talk of reliability issues of LR4. My brother drove his LR3 for 170,000 miles with only a air suspension replacement and multiple brake services, then bought a V8 LR4 that is now close to 80,000 miles with out a single issue so far. However I must admit that I had to file for a lemon law on a 2016 Range Rover for electronic issues.
Great editing, great music, great video! Cant wait to see more from you guys.
Loved seeing some new gen discovery’s getting dirty and tackling some nice inclines. Keep the content coming mate - best wishes from the U.K.
Great editing, great quality, and just an awesome video.
Looking forward to seeing more!
The color grading in this video is just so nice! The aerial shots look like something out of a Ridley Scott movie or something. Also it was some nice 4x4 dirt flingin - up vote for cement shoes !
Fabulous video. Very envious that you can just drive for days in the wilderness. Great scenery and fun.
Beautiful place and Beautifully filmed, felt like watching a movie, specially the background music was awesome.
Very enjoyable Video.
thank you for sharing your travels!
It was a lot of fun watching this video. I would love to see Utah this way.
I've been wheeling all my life and lived in the filed with the Marines, spending my fair time in the muck. Props to you all! Wheeling hills in the muck are death defying feats and staying positive camping in those conditions is admirable. Great job with the video! Wait...207,000 views with only 8300 Subscribers???
Almost got a Tear to my Eye . Very inspiring. Inshallah in a couple of Years i can afford to do this too. Thank you for the inspiration. Greetings from germany
Me too! I am hoping to get in a couple of years the new Grenadier the better defender from England.
Great videoing and editing 👍 Great to see LRs (and your FJ) being used as intended
Just watching this now. This spring (March - June 2019) was the stormiest spring I can remember in ~20 years in SLC area. Very cool to see the footage from S. Utah during this time. Kudos for sure :)
I am from Seattle and have done a lot of hiking and mountain biking in very muddy conditions.i now live in Utah and can tell you there is no mud that is slicker and stickier than Utah mud. “ cement shoes, tires and underbody” - welcome to Utah!
Very nice. Awesome to see Land Rovers being used for overlanding. I will be following with interest, thanks for sharing.
An amazing video compilation of the best all rounder vehicle out there. Thank you for sharing your adventures
Nice video guys. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Welcome to Utah where you can have four seasons in one day. You guys did great and handled the challenges well. Next you plan to hit southern Utah I recommend the fall around thanksgiving or early November. Hope you guys do it again.
Great video, amazing scenery, nice music! Really enjoy the content! It looks like yall are having a blast, I'm super jealous!
Thanks for watching! It's just our family sharing our trip, I appreciate you getting it!
Its such a shame that I have only just found this video. I have really enjoyed watching it, thank you for all the effort that went into sharing this experience!
Just come across this video. Amazing trip. So well filmed and kept interesting. We’ll done guys... Wish we has country and trails like this in the UK!
Super bad ass video !!!!!! Bless you guys and girls and hope ya'll continue the family/friends trips and stay having fun !!!!!!!! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!!!!!
This was a great watch, really enjoyed it. Well put together with some good video angles and footage. I'm surprised you have time to document it all on your holiday.
I'm in the UK, Utah is another world and it looks wonderful. I've done the touristy stuff like momument valley which I did in October 7 years ago and I was surprised at how early it went dark and cold it was at night but once the sun got up the next day it was wonderful.
Patriot Campers PCOR Ranger and X2 Trailer in Moab! Great to see some Aussie products in the USA!
Great video guys, love the Dicsovery overland setups!
Camping in our family
I will always support you from the side. Your channel is wonderful. I will go to play often
Great video! That place is on my bucket list! Finally got a rig, now to make it suitable and reliable and get out there! Gnarly weather, too, dang! Great to see non-jeeps out there killing it!
I'm utah born and raised, and this video makes me so happy :) i feel very blessed to live here; it's crazy how far people come to experience the mountains and desert i call home.
Thanks for sharing your trip. I’m in the market for an LR4 . I’ve been a land cruiser guy all my life and to say the least their performance has gone down over the years. Land rovers on the other hand has always had an amazing train management system and it would make a perfect overlanding truck for me and my family. Your video just helped me seal the deal.... thanks
I loved every minute of your video...good job, beautiful country, beautiful people... and one my beloved SUVs ....LR3 and LR4...THANK YOU ALL...KEEP it up
Just watched,great short film ,Moab looks truly fantastic, you've made memories for a lifetime. 🇬🇧 Cheers
Bloody awesome to see you guys getting out and exploring even it shitty conditions and using the LR3 and LR4’s to explore. Can’t wait to get over there in 2021 and check the US out 💪🏼
I live for trips like that, so rare is truly what makes them so epic....
Epic opening, great narration, loved the video
She has out drove everyone , lol. That is awesome !!
Wow. Great watching it. Your video editing and videography skills are next level. Somehow it came in my recommended videos and m blown away
I baught a lr3 and thinking to go my. first road trip to Utah. Thanks for the lovely video.
Great video. My wife and I did White Rim trail last fall and it was amazing. Like you guys said, "we must go back"
This is a dream of mine, thank you
Also I love your dog
The Land Rovers are awesome in this video.
Here in Utah we have had the wettest and coldest spring i can remember in 15 years or so. There are Still snow drifts at higher elevations.The backcountry here can be brutally unforgiving ,especially in bad weather.
Unforgiving I think is an understatement. In the NW they gate just about everything. It's more of an on/off switch, it's either driveable or there is 5ft of snow.
What a great movie, the drive was special enough but you've managed to record it in such a way I felt I had been there for the whole journey.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it!
Epic film you made there. It was hard enough driving there with 100 percent traction on slick rock. I don't think people who haven't been there appreciate the fatal drop off everywhere you go. Best regards from London. Thanks
16;10 you got so many things with you, looks lika you were prepared to do around the world trip! Nice people, nice car, nice scenic views, nice job!!!
Awesome filming 👏
Really enjoyed this (not even a video, but) movie! It worth to spend a whole vacation wheeling Utah 😏
I agree you could explore out there for a month and still not see everything
Definitely more like a movie...... pretty damn good one too 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🙏
Such a cool video! Thanks for sharing your experience! : )
*land cruiser enters conversation* 😂. You guys did awesome made my night shift job a little bit more bearable 😁
Amazing!! Simply amazing!!
So glad I came across your page! Also live here in the PNW and looking at Utah for our 2020 trip. Loved the video, cheers!
I would love to join you CO. Im in Seattle. Drive a lifted Taco:)
Blaine Pitcher hey right on!! Have to plan a trip here in the near future!
Good job on the edit..yeah, and the girl can drive..thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I'll pass the compliments on to her. She was extremely anxious being by herself but it was amazing to watch her overcome each new experience.
Man ya'll caught some crap weather, beautiful areas, been to some. Good video Thank you
Great vid, great adventure! Love the bond 👌
Very good decision making. Great adventure !!
Those Landies are well capable cars, going through mud like that with those tyres.
I loved the Utah video. When are y’all going back? Hope all is well. And please put out more videos you did an awesome job helping filming and guiding. Absolutely loved it. 💯
Those drone shoots are sick💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another awesome video! Definitely inspiration for my channel. Keep it up bros!!
I saw Shaquille O’Neil once and thought Wow dude Utah Meshort and I’m 6’2”....ok so there’s always one right who cracks himself up.....as a loyal Rover dude who has owned a P38 Rangie and bought a 2003 Disco brand new and have an LR4 that has been the most reliable vehicle ever for us thank you for this and you have another new subscriber!
Fantastic video and a shock to me as a Brit. I thought Utah was all about heat and dust! That clay looks like the typical stuff we have in the UK all year around. Nice to see the LRs doing so well. It is what they were built for. I am a LR fanatic and have several. For long tough expeditions there is still nothing to beat the Defender BUT in slippery conditions all the fancy modern traction control stuff makes life a lot easier and safer.
This was an excellent video, I watched the whole thing in one go. 😁
Those rigs are sweet. Nice to see something different.
Thank God for a quality production featuring Land Rovers (own an LR3 myself!)
Fabulous scenery. Great Film. Thanks from London England. Very Entertaining.
Utah is spectacular. Great scenery and video but at 1:18 he says "almost undrivable" LOL you can still see the road. I'm in Australia we got 4.5 metres of rain in less than 3 months in far North Queensland. That's almost 15 feet of rain in 3 months. Check out "Swampy" On All 4 adventure with its 46 inch tyres. oh and I forgot to mention the snakes and crocodile infested waters
Wow! Really awesome stuff!
Thank you for watching!
1st video of yours I'm watching and 17 seconds in I'm hooked already Haha
Sweet! Hopefully you enjoyed the other 58 minutes just as much haha!
Yep, that's why I live in Utah!
Awesome video! Makes me look forward to trying some of this.
Step 1: get 4x4
Step 2: throw tent, food, and shovel in back
Step 3: drive places
that's all its about!!
Beautiful movie
LR3 and LR4's look so good in this overland setup.
are they diesel or petrol? Sound like v8s
Love your RIG! I’m looking at adding one to my fleet to pull my mini overland camper. Great content too.
Great content. Love watching video of my home state.
I'm very jealous. We have great stuff in the PNW but there's nothing like Utah anywhere in the world.
Gotta love that utah clay! I made coming down off of a mountain impossible for once. Missed two days of work.
Dang!! that would be awful being suck in mud for 2days!!!
@@SirWilliamGoes oh no I was luckily up in the rocky section of the road and next to a beautiful lake camping and fishing. But there is a section of road that slopes towards a drop off that gets terrible with mud. I went down checked it out and went back up. And I was glad I did when another truck rolled over right there.
I see the latest video was 3 years ago. Hope all is well? Great production. The first time lady nailed the off road driving 👏
Amazing! I like off-road, road trip and I learn English. Useful for me.
Hey Jasik, your English is great!
@@harvbegal6868 Oh, thanks so much!
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and just wow, excellent editing, excellent scenery and fantastic vehicles. Nice to see Land Rovers being used for what they are designed for. Especially newer ones. Love the FJ too. New subscriber here.
Utah weather in May & June , yep. Epic experience, sorry it wasn't the trip you wanted, but I'm sure you had good friends to get thru it. Coming from Seattle, you know rain !
Having good times with others , right on .
epic episode
What a trip! Great job on the video gang! Nice vehicle builds too. Following your crew now. And yes I own a 4Runner but I still love the LR3/4s! Not all Toyota owners are brand-bigots! Loved this trip video.
You cleverly brought a Land Rover recovery vehicle with you.
Don't tell the others. I passed it off as a "camera equipment " vehicle
@@OfftrakExpeditions 🤣😉
Awesome video keep em comming👍👍
love it. really nice video. seems a big movie
Amazing quality!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
super slick production, interesting content, cool gear. Enjoy yourselves out there. Subscribed to your channel. Bring chains, and always give it the beans in mud.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the support. And yes, totally agree we had a hard time clearing that mud out of those tires. It was definitely cement like as you saw on the first night.
@@OfftrakExpeditions My personal preference has always been to run mud terrains for three seasons and all terrains with studs in the winter. There is always a compromise. Here in Hawaii, I have Michelin XZLs on my defenders and Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on my range rover.
Great video, great weather for off-roading! Great scenery! Too bad you have not done more adventure trips like this in other places! Hope you so sometime soon! Regards from Costa Rica!
Really enjoyed this. Great video!
