Dude...LMBO The sound effects I was making while you were driving looking at the air-down kit. Weird how that works out. So many things working through your mind...filming, daylight dwindling...wanting to see the sights... Not picking. Laughing with as it's something I would do...lol
You really can’t see the front fender from the drivers seat and I was too busy filming…Thanks for watching and glad you got a good laugh out of it. Those bumps were pretty big too…lol
@@StartBuildingYourDreams Oh I know. I have a white JTRD very similar to yours. My fenders are painted so if I did that it would have slit off unless the small container has rubber feet. I really enjoy your videos. I’m located in Gainesville, FL, may move to eastern TN…don’t know. I was ready to start the larger mods…then a bit of life slapped me in the face pushing my plans back a bit. Apprehensive about planning any trips because I’d be pissed being limited by my set up…. Hard to find time so I want to make it count if you know what I mean.
@@dougstdig The Jeep Gladiator in stock form is super capable! Life happens, hang in there and don’t try to “keep up with the Joneses”. There are lots of good dirt roads, and keep a watch on FB Market Place. People are always selling stuff on the cheap. Both my racks and my awning were off of there, but buyer beware... I started with a winch from Harbor Freight doesn’t even have to be the Apex… and had no issues at Ocala in stock form. Most of my drives are Forrest Service Roads or dirt roads. The Rubicon Suspension was great until the RTT, then I started getting a lot of sway on the interstate. Jeeps are meant to enjoy, so take some time and just get out there and enjoy it!
@@StartBuildingYourDreams had to put work down today so I literally just got back from Ocala. Is been a month and a half since I’ve been there. Kinda done with it for a while. The sand is fun driving through, but other than that the only think I get going there are more scratches…🥺 I have the Apex 12K , wireless trail cam, dual ARB / Kraken set up, CB & GMRS and a hard trifold now. The trifold is nice with all the sticky fingers here. I’m okay going ground tent/awning for now since I haven’t made up my mind whether I want to go with a cap or rack. I have plenty of time to decide. I may go with Clayton’s base setup and just add parts as I go. Not sure…we’ll see.
I use onX Offroad...You can get your pass and everything online. The best part is the Ferry was Free, you just have to get in line! Thanks for Watching!
By any chance did you drive up to Carova beach and drive as far as you can heading to Va.? I'm asking because there appears to be some kind of barrier at what must be the VA/NC border. The barrier looks to be long poles stuck into the sand however there is an opening and I was wondering if a car/truck could get through. Any info would be helpful. Unfortunately some dip stick killed a wild horse the other day. It was a hit and run. Poor horse.
Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear about the horse! We made it about a mile from the end. The tides were coming in and we played it safe. Everything I’ve read is it’s blocked off to vehicles. On the Virginia side it’s a wildlife preserve/ sanctuary, and you can’t drive on Virginia Beaches as far as I know. Probably some hefty fines. I read something a about bicycle path, but definitely no driving. It’s 12 miles out and 12 miles back, no stopping unless you have a permit, watch out for the horses, and when the tides come in it can gets really narrow up near the border. Great question! If you find something else out let me know!
@@StartBuildingYourDreams We will be on Carova Sept 2-9. I plan on taking my mountain bike and riding north to see the border and the barrier. I'll report back if you want me to.
Last year was my first time driving on the beach in the outer banks. Going back in July to do the same! Great video
Thanks for watching Ethan! Definitely worth the drive!
Excellent video!! Keep em coming!! Thank you
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video, but it's Ocracoke (like the vegetable and the drink) Ocra-coke. Hatteras (is like Hater-ass)...
Thanks for the feedback…I’m sure I’ll head back again and will try to not butcher the Names next time…

Great video. I’m heading down in April. Can’t wait.
Btw what app is that that leaves the breadcrumbs?

@@donnovicki9771 Cool, you’re going to love it. It’s loose sand not like Florida Beaches. So might take some extra pedaling power!
