I have my 99 trooper on 33s with custom winch bumper. Been dreaming of r2.8 swap and portals, but this video makes me wanna get my camping setup in and head out.😊
I’ve been riding dirtbikes at Reiter since the(late) 80s and I’ve broken more parts there than at every other orv area combined. I’ve only recently decided that I’m just too old to keep throwing myself at the ground and that maybe 2 more wheels wouldn’t be so bad. I will not be taking my new truck out there, but it’s good to see that some things don’t change.
@PNW_Rodeo Yeah, it's the closest to stock lol, over here due to modification laws and that they are enforced reasonably hard, it would still be what we call cop bait and be constantly pulled over and defected. Even on some trails, it would be defected as the cops ride bikes around checking cars etc. It sucks, you can put vechicles through an engineer and get approval for bigger tyres and lifts etc but 35s are the limit in most cases.
@Bigcountry_littlelegs I had 40s and a custom built 4-link front suspension on my 2018 Ram 3500 and not a single cop pulled me over for mods. It's a shame Australia is so strict.
@PNW_Rodeo yep as the meme says, straight to jail 🤣 It sucks but also leads to interesting builds. We also seem to use winchs a lot more, and that's led to winch racing
@@DirtLifestyle that propshaft prob. i tilt my rear diff up as far as it will stand.jack shaft up about 3''. or get a high pin 9''.. ausie.. i had a lwb f100 4x4. i got a double prop shaft, bearing centre, tilted diff up. the shaft was higher than the leafs.. nearly came to u.s., land in elko navada.. but im not mexican, british..
My buddy rolls in an Isuzu Amigo that he bought 10 years ago for $250, completely stock except for the tires.. fuckin thing RIPS and takes an absolute ass whoopin on a regular basis without breaking. It boggles my mind the stuff he’s able to get his tiny little rig through… Those little SUVs are definitely underrated.
Back in late 80's to early 90's I had a Toyota 4x4 and my best friend had a Rodeo that wasn't 4 wheel drive. It was crazy how many places he made it and how well that Rodeo held up. I always felt so bad for that poor truck of his. Lmao
I’m a Jeep guy through and through. However, I took a 5200 mile trip by myself in a Rodeo and it was literally the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever done in my life. I left from Scranton, Pennsylvania and went to Charleston, Atlanta, Orlando, Gulf Shores, Memphis, Nashville, Columbus, State College, and then back to Scranton. Took me a little over 2 weeks. Stopped in each one of those towns for at least a day, except Gulf Shores. I was there for 3 days for a festival.
I just finished section 3 and 4 of the Washington BDR this past weekend and this time and last year when I was doing it I kept looking for you on the trail. I even carry a marker so you can autograph my dash. Much respect to you from spokane
I love the stories behind these cars. An old forest ranger jeep that "I pulled it out of a backyard with a cracked frame and he it is" That's F**** amazing.
Last to tracks where amazing love love the big green machine grand wagoneer is bad ass . Great to see a small cheaper build keeping up with your new rig
Used to do this in Arizona. Had my truck for 40 years, drove it to work everyday. We won't be doing those rock trails at this point. Nice drive, love the Bronco!
Was super sad to see the damage from the accident but glad you were able to get some cash from insurance and excited to see the rebuild with the portals! Know it’ll be great! Keep doing you!
The added cost of a two piece is a heck of a lot cheaper as soon as you have to build a new single piece. It also increases your chances of doing a match with the front.
Evan's creek is a real challenge if you aren't built over 33's. Hell if you can't get through the gate keeper, you can't do the park. Especially with rain
15:10 I could use the living hell out of that camping I've always done a broom but this day and age with tools like that. Especially if you bring a multi-tool for cutting use the same battery. Tool kits are awesome
I was so excited to see the trooper. One because it’s a rare rig to modify, two because it’s manual, and 3 because it’s still IFS! Everyone says you NEED sas. I’m only 8 min in so maybe it breaks later on, but I love seeing stuff just OEM+ and wheeling hard
So glad Girth is sticking around!!!! Love this series Nate, well done!!!! Favorite usage of trailer leaf blower, annoying your own kids with it, ha ha ha ha
Great video and route! Loved the rig by rig walk around. Seeing the TJ made me so nostalgic!! I want to see that truck back on the trail again! It’s such a rad build. The channel just gets better and better.
Yea, my wife and I were out at Rieter a couple weeks ago. "Easy Trail" there is a relative term. We've spent a good bit of time at Evans and Walker. First time back to Rieter in close to 20 years and it kicked our butts.
I think I heard you mention Enumclaw. I lived there for about 5 years and moved just outside Las Vegas about 6 years ago. I miss Washington. It's so beautiful out there. I miss being able to look out my backdoor and see that view of Mt Rainier.
This is a cool hobby. This is the type of 4wheeling I did a little of and wanted to do more of. I had a Suzuki Samurai on Toyota axles with 35’s and then I wanted more room so I got an 85 4Runner with dual transfer cases, and a bunch of other goodies. I did a bunch of California trails when I lived down there but ultimately I sold the 4Runner and got out of the hobby. I decided that I’m just not enough of a mechanic and don’t have the passion or the natural ability to become a better one. It’s a hobby that seems to be about 3/4 wrenching, 1/4 actually out wheeling. And then you gotta make sure you have the skills and the extra parts, tools, etc to be prepared and get yourself through and off the trail. I had friends that had that ability and therefore it didn’t stress them out, but me, nah, too stressful! 😂
I grew up wheeling Evans Crick so when we went to the Olympics it really woke something inside up. Always have to drive home however scary depending on what breaks and remember drive lines still duct taped on while driving to work in the morning. I would love doing some Over land trip at least once.
This looked like an awesome trip. I’m in the Midwest with a 4Runner (OME 3” and 33s), we just did a big trip out to LA recently and got to do a little wheeling and camping in Utah on our way back. I’m totally hooked now and can’t wait to do it again.
I’m definitely gonna plan to head down from BC and hit this route hopefully next year if I can’t this year! We just finished the bottom half of the WABDR and most of the ORBDR a few weeks ago.
I have lived in Washington state all my life, I just got into “ soft roading” lol I plan to buy a frontier or Tacoma wanted a truck for the house and to go off road camping. But what yall do is extreme I never knew we had all this over here.
Wow, 😊 what an awesome route Nate. I’m in my 50’s, so it was really cool seeing some of these older rigs like the Bronco and Grand Wagoneer. They really brought back some fond memories for me. Also it’s gotta hurt seeing this footage of the Taco, prior to the collision, but excited for version 2.0.
That Bronco is such a cool build. Once my Bronco is done I'll have to take it to some trails like this. It would be cool if you did this in New Mexico or Texas.
Great episode Nate. I’ve been building my truck to do these types of trips. Your channel has been a big inspiration to get back into o building wheeling rigs again I have to say I’ve really enjoyed getting back into it ( having a lot more tools and abilities has helped lol) thanks man your channel is one of my favorites.
That Chevy should probably not point the rear pinion at the ground first off. Second 1350 CV and rotate the at pinion like 20* up, use .188 wall tubing and it will be fine.
Good catch, just realized I left my pinion angle set for my single joint 1/4 wall dom driveshaft. Not the double Cardon shaft thats in there right now. I do need to move it up a touch.
A series idea: every episode is taking people with classic rigs on adventures, featuring them of course. This was a great episode!
I have my 99 trooper on 33s with custom winch bumper. Been dreaming of r2.8 swap and portals, but this video makes me wanna get my camping setup in and head out.😊
I love it when you make these videos that highlight the great trails in our state. 💪
Glad to hear it! Washington wheeling is underrated...
Because the liberals hate people driven on trails...@@DirtLifestyle

Matt & Shane's Secret Podcast 👀 I knew Nate was a dawg
Nice!
😎 when I was editing this I wondered if someone would call that out lol
That isuzu is about as serious as we can get in australia and drive it on the road, but it would be cop bait.
What you guys can do is crazy.
Mine is on 37s!
The Rodeo is a very mild build compared to the other vehicles in this video. It can still do 90+ mph on the highway, so very streetable.
@PNW_Rodeo Yeah, it's the closest to stock lol, over here due to modification laws and that they are enforced reasonably hard, it would still be what we call cop bait and be constantly pulled over and defected.
Even on some trails, it would be defected as the cops ride bikes around checking cars etc.

We also seem to use winchs a lot more, and that's led to winch racing
I can’t wait for the rebuild of that Tacoma 😊
Me too!!!!

@@DirtLifestyle 2 piece shaft. f100 4x4, or 2wd, i think. bit rare.. swb f100 blazer, seems about right length. 2.9m. ish..
@@DirtLifestyle I hope the Portals show up in time, are you going with 74 Weld?
That S10 is like my dream build!
Thanks👊🏻
IFS and 39s, and “I need to get the belly up” 😂 how high do you want the damn belly Nate?! That bad boy already has some mighty good clearance on it!
Apparently 4 more inches haha
4 more inches! 😁
Older Isuzu and Mitsubishi suvs are way under represented in the US.

Iv wheeled Isuzu for close to 20 years
I'm really happy you did this! I absolutely LOVE my life long home of Washington State.
I just finished section 3 and 4 of the Washington BDR this past weekend and this time and last year when I was doing it I kept looking for you on the trail. I even carry a marker so you can autograph my dash. Much respect to you from spokane
I had a '72 Bronco. Very well balanced through the front seats. I knew I missed an opportunity the day I sold it.
Awesome group of rigs!
Agreed! It was a great group
i wish the midwest would open more public land up to 4x4s instead of just sxs and atv
What’s great trip👊🏻 can’t wait for the next one
We just need to decide on a destination 😁
I love the stories behind these cars. An old forest ranger jeep that "I pulled it out of a backyard with a cracked frame and he it is" That's F**** amazing.
Wife and I miss our early Broncos , 1967 , 1968 , and 1972
My favorite 4x4 will always be an early Bronco. But that wagoneer is siiiiick.
Hey when you cut back to the tj at 37:00 that was my group when I first met you! 👍
Last to tracks where amazing love love the big green machine grand wagoneer is bad ass . Great to see a small cheaper build keeping up with your new rig
That Rodeo is so rad. Well done sir 👍
Isuzus are sooooo underrated
Thank you. It's been a fun build.
Hola buenas noches me encantan tus vídeos de 4x4 y la Naturaleza preciosos lugares un abrazo gigante desde Uruguay
Thank you!
Rad video Nate. Really like the rig walk throughs during the trip and different setups.
This was awesome!
Used to do this in Arizona. Had my truck for 40 years, drove it to work everyday. We won't be doing those rock trails at this point. Nice drive, love the Bronco!
The Evans Creek edits, perfection.
As always
Great video
You never cease to inspire
Thank you!
Love to see Reiter. I spent a lot of time with the design crew putting together the concept for the trails
Was super sad to see the damage from the accident but glad you were able to get some cash from insurance and excited to see the rebuild with the portals! Know it’ll be great! Keep doing you!
Looks like a really cool trip. Good to see my buddy Colin with his Bronco out there.
Good to see the isuzu put in some work. You guys in PNW have great terrain. 🤤
Beautiful county
This route looks FANTASTIC! Well done yall!
Awesome to see my buddy Colin out there wheeling with you, wheeled a bunch with him when he was back here on the east coast before he moved west.
Love seeing stuff in WA!! Makes me want to explore more of my backyard
The added cost of a two piece is a heck of a lot cheaper as soon as you have to build a new single piece. It also increases your chances of doing a match with the front.
2 piece is the only good way to go on a rig that long.
I've got an 86 Grand Cherokee Waggy very much like this green one with coilovers an 4 link in front with 62" leafs in rear on 37s and I LOVE IT!
You guys have some gnarly trails up there, definitely jealous!!
Love these videos, keep ‘em coming and keep up the incredible work!!🤙
Great video really liked the older rigs you invited along .
Looked like a great weekend wheeling,, little challenging, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Evan's creek is a real challenge if you aren't built over 33's. Hell if you can't get through the gate keeper, you can't do the park. Especially with rain
I wish i had people like you
( MR. NARRATOR ) that lived VERY CLOSE TO ME. I have no one here in Bama to do such a thing with.
It's tough out there in Alabama! Not much public land though...
Patiently waiting for the AZ RLR to drop 🤟
Me to Glendale az here ls swapped 95 Silverado bunch of 1 ton parts 6 inch lift on 37s
I've got it about 80% figured out. Hopefully we will hit it very early 2025. February or March? We will see 👀
15:10 I could use the living hell out of that camping I've always done a broom but this day and age with tools like that. Especially if you bring a multi-tool for cutting use the same battery. Tool kits are awesome

She drove home under her own power with nothing but a torn tcase mount and a loose inner heim clevis. It impressed me too. 👍
I'm an 80 Series guy. Out of all these rigs, I think the Wagoneer is ubercool, but my pick would be the Bronco
I haven't been to Elbe since like 2015, can't believe how many rocks they have added.
It's an entirely different place! Outstanding rock gardens everywhere now.
Dang, you almost made it up north enough to be near my area!
Great episode but I didn't see a walk-around of the jk, did I just miss it?
So glad Girth is sticking around!!!! Love this series Nate, well done!!!! Favorite usage of trailer leaf blower, annoying your own kids with it, ha ha ha ha
Just checking in. lol.
😎
Great video and route! Loved the rig by rig walk around. Seeing the TJ made me so nostalgic!! I want to see that truck back on the trail again! It’s such a rad build. The channel just gets better and better.
So rad to have you making more routes that are RockLander fun! I want to do all of them

Kelly needs a doubler and a Hi9. Love his rig
You need to take the samurai out on that last trail and show us it can do what your old jeep could do or more
Gotta have more info on that rodeo. I wheel a gen 1 Kia Sportage and the rodeo is very similar. Love the old school wheelers from the 90s.
I’m definitely gonna plan to head down from BC and hit this route hopefully next year if I can’t this year! We just finished the bottom half of the WABDR and most of the ORBDR a few weeks ago.
Nate comes out with a full blown Tacoma monster truck…damn, I need more belly clearance! Don’t change mate
Lol 😆
Eastern side on the net!
ISUZU YEAAAAAAHHHHHH
Damn, I really should've done a 2pc in my Toyota pickup. I was very close to doing it but didn't really think of all the details like I should have.
Great trip as always with a solid group of peeps! Why does it look so much warmer than it actually was? ❄️
Lol always. This trip was remarkably cold...
Looks like fun, I need to set up something similar for Suzukis in Alaska

Oh! My great great grandfather was the first mayor of Index. But I never go over there!🤷♂️
The East coast is here
Makes me wish I had spent the exact same amount on an SAS swap 🤦♂️ cheers guys. Always looks like a blast.
That Bronco is 🔥
Absolutely!
That Bronco is such a cool build. Once my Bronco is done I'll have to take it to some trails like this. It would be cool if you did this in New Mexico or Texas.
May think about working fortune creek and cabin creek into this loop
Dang, I missed y'all driving past my house lol this is lookin badass and I'll have to give it a try someday!
Good videos man, cheers.
I hit the thumbs up 30 seconds in …. You never disappoint 👍 Dope vid as always
I would love to see how my Speed UTV 149 on 35’BFG’s would handle the boulders with all independent suspension.
Thank you for sharing 😊
23:23 Cannot believe that falling tree is still there. 😮 It took us 1 hour to by pass it.
Miss the tj and the old videos.
Just want to say I love the fun feel of this video. Nice work!
Thanks brother 🙏
Nice taste in music for the moment love the footage
Thank you!
Love to join you guys on the next trip
Isuzu!!! ^_^
Nate thank the RUclips gods cause you are living the dream 😂😂👍🏻✌🏻🇺🇸
Epic route, but seems to have missed some epic trails in SW WA!
Epic Video!!
Great video Nate, I just wish you would have gone to Rimrock instead of Evans Creek and Elbe.
I live in gold bar. Would love to run some trails at Reiter with you guys
Great episode Nate. I’ve been building my truck to do these types of trips. Your channel has been a big inspiration to get back into o building wheeling rigs again I have to say I’ve really enjoyed getting back into it ( having a lot more tools and abilities has helped lol) thanks man your channel is one of my favorites.
Thank you! I'm happy to help inspire! Sorry that inspiration ends up costing you a fortune lol
@@DirtLifestyle I might pad the prices a little bit when the wife ask how much lol. I tell her you can’t put a price on memories
I’m from western wa this be a dream to have a rig that would eat this trail
That Chevy should probably not point the rear pinion at the ground first off. Second 1350 CV and rotate the at pinion like 20* up, use .188 wall tubing and it will be fine.
I knew that bringing this up would hurt some feelings lol. I will pass your suggestions along 👍
Good catch, just realized I left my pinion angle set for my single joint 1/4 wall dom driveshaft. Not the double Cardon shaft thats in there right now. I do need to move it up a touch.
Hey Kelly there no parking there lol
😂
Lol
HEY! I live in Washington. Ok next summer.
Hey Nate. Can you make a video about wheeling automatics vs manual transmission
I wonder if people would watch that 🤷♂️. I prefer manual...
Manual requires a bit more limb dexterity when wheeling. I prefer manual which is why I chose it for this build. Always push yourself to be better.
This video makes me wish I wasn’t poor and could afford to off-road and overland again. I miss it so much.
Great video
