Hey Kerry, thanks again so much for the help. Who knows how long we might've been stuck up there had you not come along. The video really doesn't do it justice just how long we spent trying to patch that side wall before pulling it off with the winch.
Sweet video ive ran every trail in that whole area its a amazing place and very special. Those mine cones have some amazing quartz crystals and metals in them if you know what to look for. Nice to see you out helping others on the trails.
@@TrailTraveler Very high quality filming of epic scenery mixed with somewhat tricky trails and with weather moving in, along with a history lesson, but most especially: helping out a wheeler in distress. This video pretty much had it all. Exceptionally well done!
excellent video! I once had a wheel on my RAM 1500 I couldbt get off and It had a 6" long tear in the sidewall and I was towing my boat to an off the beaten path boat launch that was miles from maintained roads, Long story short the 20lb rubber coated anchor from my boat freed it after a few whacks ;)
That poor Wise Mountain cabin. I remember when it was still usable much like the old cabin on the Empire loop. It was always kind of dug down into the mountain some, but the erosion has really started to open up the hole and swallow the Wise cabin. I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been an effort to try and mitigate that before the whole thing falls in on itself.
Did you see any mtn goats when you were updating Wise cabin? I was up there in September,didn’t see one anywhere. Hunting season had just kicked off and nothing to shoot.
I’ve seen them every time in this area as well as the top of Radical Hill. But as these get more and more traveled not surprised to see that they’ve moved away
I guess the Tacoma guy's wheel "rust/corroded-welded" itself to the hub? I use anti-seize compound on the hub and wheel -- where they contact each other -- to prevent that. FOR SURE I'd do it if I were doing any amount of off-roading w/ water crossings and/or mud-puddles. I also anti-seize the lug-nut bolts/studs for the same reason -- so the lug nuts aren't rusted-on (but do reduce the Jeep/OEM factory lug-nut torque specs to account for that). So far, so good. ;-) -- BR
Yeah that turn is called out on trailsoffroad, but if I wasn’t with someone who’s done it a bunch I would have missed it too. I’m only on 33’s and it’s doable if you take the easiest line to the left side, but when wet it’s going present a challenge for most
@@sevendewey We hadn't switched TrailsOffroad to follow SOB and totally missed it. Still, we got to see some other stuff that we would've missed, so it wasn't any loss there.
Great video and in glad you got them going again. So you used the winch? Was it just a little pull and it popped off without the wheel flying? Was it on the jack? Just curious and trying to visualize as I might need to remember this. What’s the name of that trail at the end again? Thanks!
I had to "pop" it a couple of times and then it came off pretty smoothly. It was on the jack which made it a little sketchy, so I was basically rocking it back and forth. The trail is North Fork Swan River.
You need sail cloth needle and stitch for sidewall repairs like this regardless of kit, no fault to gluetread nor them in this video. You can put together your own kit for less but the fact of the matter is it will work and only as good as the skills tools and materials available on hand at the time, no sail cloth thread no needle, no fix.

Glad you found the video and even happier that the story had a good ending!
Love the video sorry things didn’t go quite as planned, but you know that’s found to happen. And I do love the name of your jeep being Optimus.
Great driving by Mrs. Trail Traveler!!
She’s a great driver and does probably 70% of the driving these days.

Wow what an exciting venture, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
GREAT video!!! One of your best! I really enjoyed it. 😊
Thanks! What was it that made it one of the best?

@@VideosOffRoad Thanks, your feedback is much appreciated.
Good drive. Thanks for taking us along.
Great vid!
Part of the fun is helping others I need.
We always stop at Last Chance Pizza after we run any trail in the area.

lol @ 15:52 you were probably thinking why do they call this trail SOB hill and then thought SOB were on the wrong trail okay back to the video
Pretty much and then we looked at the map and saw how off-trail we were

You weren’t able to repair the sidewall using the Gluetread kit….. Not sure if I want to spend $50 on it.

It’s because it was through the raised lettering. I’ve used Gluetreads several times in the past and never had an issue before
The trail at 18m-20m look fun. to bad you had to turn around. 🙂
When are you going to bring that Jeep out to The Rubicon?😄
@@t.o.f.t.s. Hopefully in 2025. We were supposed to go this year but after the costs of the engine replacement, we had to cancel our plans.
