Incredible footage and editing. You make it look easy but I'm sure you put a ton of time and energy into these awesome videos. Thank you for the content and always keeping our imaginations and shared hopes for adventure alive.
Thank you 🙏 means everything. Organizing the footage after the trip is the hardest part. Then color matching which I’m still learning. I’d say 3 full nights from 6pm to 2:30 am lol
Wk2 gang 👍 thanks for sharing, nice to see grand Cherokees off-road , I use to own wk2 too , took me places like steens mt, alvord desert, Utah , Colorado Imogene pass etc .
@@draco_2727 thank you. Yea that was perfect timing of when they passed by because we weren’t getting them in the radio too good. Didn’t know where they were
The hike out to the A6 isn't that bad. I did it in nearly 90°F temps. FYI, there is another plane wreck to the left of that sign yiu were at about 1/2 - 3/4 mile through the sage just back from the ridgeline. You can see shiny stuff from Google to give you a general area to pin drop for next time.
I wish I would have known about the other plane. Smh. Thanks for telling me. And we thought about the hike but we didn’t want to leave the rigs we heard it was more than a mile.
@@GrandExploration The A6 wreckage is scattered for at least a mile. All the way from just before the tail section all the way to the other ridgeline. I don't think the tail section was even a 1/2 mile from your trucks.
Love this shit! We got that red dirt here in Minnesota on the Iron Range! You can always tell in the twin cities who’s been up north wheeling in the iron dirt cuz they’re the only vehicle around covered in red mud 🤣
I’m a recent sub to your channel.. I recently bought a 2018 compass trail hawk… and am going to try to mod my compass to y’all’s grand Cherokees.. looking forward to your videos..
Maaan, this was great. The first hill would have been good to round up the jeeps in a circle pointing out, do a drone flight from the bottom as all of he headlight come on, on each jeep and go around them on the hill. Great shot. Looked like perfect place to camp out. Do you have any good recommendations for 2WD Overland trails?
Appreciate that and yes, that would have been a great shot. What area are you looking for trails in? Do you use an off-road mapping app like OnX off-road? That’s literally where I find my trails and it shows you the difficulty level and what vehicles you can use to get thru.
definitely didn't miss a spot lol. amazing rig. got me a 96 grand Cherokee. I'm bias as love solid axle but definitely see your rig is pretty capable. can't wait to see what's next for the grand
I wish I knew about this trip! I literally just drove from Tacoma, WA back to California, passing through Bend. When I lived in Bend I spend a ton of time out in the desert where you guys are at! If it is not on your list, there is a pretty sweet crater looking hole in the ground, called... "hole in the ground", off of the 31. Definitely worth a visit!
@@thesouthernlife4061 pooping on a GC is not worthy of recognition. This isn’t about having something that is cooler than what someone else has. Haha. But that’s cool though! 😎
Hello! Cool video! I am also the owner of grand cherokee wk2 and I am from Ukraine. But for some reason this car is not at all popular in our country. Is it true that in the USA this is a super-popular car?
Thank you! We were using gmrs. I’m personally using a midland mxt275vp4. The antenna on the silver Jeep, I’m not sure how he mounted it. I believe it’s just a grand Cherokee tail gate antenna mount
Braddah been watching your episodes and loving it......I too live in Portland and would love to join you folkes some time and maybe become a part of "Da Braddah Hood" yes, I originally from Hawaii and want to do more Overlanding.....been a Jeep guy forever I got Jeep running thru my blood! I'm a proud owner of 4yrs now of a 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK 5.7l Overland. I would love to hook up with you, Braddah's on a weekend some time. Lmk, thanks for your Vidz. Aloha
Thanks. Actually all that was done was I cut off the big muffler in the rear. I only did it because I cut my bumper for clearance leaving the muffler exposed so I chopped it off
That would be @theStorytillnow and the Canadian crew who got the site closed after they drove and turned around on the crash site. Also going off trail is prohibited to go around mudholes. That’s what gets more of the Oregon lands closed. If the road is un passable you turn around you don’t drive off trail. RUclips Overlanders are getting lots of stuff shut down and there is more coming. People watch you guys do this stuff and then they go out there and cause huge problems.
you might want to checkout BLM regulations. What we did was not prohibited if you’re referring to us crossing over the mud pit. It was necessary and lawful. And turning around or backing up in that location was not an option my friend. Not safely at least.
@@paularmost8671 thank you. I’m still a young channel. It’s definitely growing consistently as I figure my own channel out. I’m in no rush. Just using this time to hone my craft. I appreciate you.
The A-6 site is literally a memorial crash site and people died there! Nobody should be driving through the middle of it. It only sets a bad example for others to do the same. My comment is similar to the other comment below. We are lucky @Storytillnow didn't get the whole road blocked off 10 miles back. Besides, the road only goes the very short distance to the top of the ridge from where you were parked and there is barely enough room for one rig to turn around before it becomes a flat and super easy walk to the crash. Although tempting to go around mud holes, it's important we educate people to try not to widen them out by going around. I recommend you and your followers watch the RUclips channel episode from @Ozark Overland Adventures, from two days ago titled "Don't Be THAT Guy" which describes why so many of our roads and trails are getting closed off! Also, the red gravel you drove on is called red cinder rock and "yes" it's volcanic. You drove up on a red cinder cone that was used as a borrow pit.
I agree about the A6 site. No one should drive over a memorial. Personally I didn’t know how it was setup all I heard was there was a crash site that you could drive up to. I don’t think anyone wants to drive over it. I thought maybe there was a designated place to pull up next to it idk. When I Saw story til now it didn’t look like he drove over anything but maybe I missed it. As far as our mud hole on BLM land we discussed backing up but it was too risky in that spot so we did what we had to do unfortunately. I don’t know what else to say. I mean I hear you. But if it comes down to it, going around and getting through safely is what I’m going to choose every time. I’m sure you would do the same. But don’t get me wrong I fully understand.
I will however make it a point to let my followers know that this issue is very important and not to be taken lightly. That yes, things happen and there can be a number of variables. But if you can absolutely help it do your best to remain on trail and preserve what we have.
Question for you. Since I only made it to the sign at the bottom of the hill I actually didn’t see where that trail did end. Story til now actually went off the trail after that ended to reach the site?
Brother, could you share with me the channel or Instagram of the owner of the white 2012? I have one just like it and I would like it to look like that, thanks for the videos, greetings from the Dominican Republic!

In the US it’s not super popular. It has its following. The track hawk is more popular
You guys got some great jeep groups and jamborees in the Ukraine ✌️🦆

Like that jacket
Appreciate that lol REI
Sweet video and rides! Definitely don't want anything new for overlanding through that mud!
Curious, are any of the 5 rigs more or less stock?
Thank you!!! Not really all have some degree of lift and bigger tires. Yea that mud was not fun getting off

What exhaust setup do you have? Sounds nice!
Thanks. Actually all that was done was I cut off the big muffler in the rear. I only did it because I cut my bumper for clearance leaving the muffler exposed so I chopped it off
What wheels are on the silver Jeep? 5:54 They look like Jeep brand wheels but I don’t remember them being an option on the WK2.
I figured it out. They’re JK Rubicon wheels. I didn’t realize they had the same lug pattern.
I’m not 100% sure. They might be one of the wrangler models wheels. Like the Willy’s
Great video man.
Any GC with QT1 system?
Thank you. And yes that silver 2012 in the video was qt1. He knows how to drive it tho.
Nice. Does he have his own channel? I want to see his QT1 performance. I always ask you this question. I’ve QT1 GCL model… want see its capabilities
Nice.. could you upload more videos on your channel? There is lot of audience who wants to see QT1 capabilities
How is the 2 1/2" lift from rough country?
