How do you show up to a scheduled event and can't run the first trail because you need to change out bad bushings?

...so far. By the end, his hair will be shaved and his scalp painted pink.
His comment, "we brought a knife to a gun fight" should've been "we brought a JKU to a real Jeep event...we're in trouble"

That rig with no transmission skid is super flexy. Not sure why he wouldn’t have a transmission skid.
A couple guys could use some finesse vs throttle. They also need some better spotters. Some of the lines they were taking made no sense to me.

Ditto. I was suggesting John do the 24 Hell and Back (I wish I had his setup), but I'm definitely in for a GATR trip there.

I watched Kimberley Sparrow drive the

And THEN, turned around and was Co-dawg for her husband in the 4400 race.
That’s some real driving

Excuse me, I should has typed "one of the best".

My only thing against her is that she didn’t do a nut/bolt check of her rig before taking on what they’re claiming to be some of the craziest wheeling (which I’d agree with).
Even I get under the Jeep before and after each ride and make sure everything is tight that’s supposed to be tight and that all my stuff is in good working order. There’s no excuse for showing up unprepared.

“Hey guys, I know we said drivers meeting at 9am, and it’s 9:30, but I want to replace my heater core before we hit the trails. Also, what’s a heater core?”

Man, y’all are like Monday morning quarterbacks! Why the bashing?
Shecwheels almost every weekend all over the US. Not one of y’all have fixed something at the park before a ride? If you say, no, I call bullshit. No one is perfect

Maybe she didn’t have time fromevwhere she rode the precious ride, decided to do it at park? Does it really matter? She missed a couple hours of the first trail.

I think someone (I don't she actually did the work) only changed the bushings because of the noise.

She’s a YouTuber. She makes content for the public to enjoy. I’m all good w that...we can like it or not.
Is she a great driver? That’s up for debate and completely subjective.

When she was "building" her jeep she asked me a ton of questions on instagram. fast forward to jeep invasion last year, She was stuck in a parking lot with "no steering" as she called it. I pulled over in my jeep as she obviously had no idea what she was looking at (not saying im an expert). Turns out her tie rod clamp was sheered off. I grabbed some zip ties and tucked it up out of the way so she could limp back to her hotel. She never said thank you or even acknowledged that i had helped. I was a fan of hers up until then.

I finally watched the video, and now I definitely want to go there.
As much as I'd like to do one of these challenges, having a group of 32 rigs (slightly exaggerated) may be excessive.

Does Allsouth have these capabilities? I mean, all they need to do is build a rig capable of following along. I'm sure we could get Busted Knuckle to join in on the fun......

I'd be all in for a 24 hour GATR ride. There's no way I'd be doing stuff this wild, but if nothing else I'd be down as a spare set of hands when stuff inevitably breaks

The first hell and back ride was at Windrock with only like 5 or 6 rigs I think. Got to start somewhere.

After watching the first one at Windrock, I had wondered how good/bad it would be to do the 24 hour thing. Very interested.
I also don't think I would want to do extreme trails my first time either.

So, a '24 Pergatory and Back'.
I'd rather do 3 or 4 8-hour days instead of one 24 hour stretch...that would be hell on me, no doubt; I'll hand in my man card at the meet and greet.

Lol! I feel like the "appeal" of any 24 hour challenge is what happens overnight. It's when everything you're used to changes and as a driver you have to completely re-learn how to do things.
I've been a car racing fan as long as I can remember and go to the 24h Daytona race every year. There's just something special about it in comparison to two day events

I love night wheeling. When I first started wheeling, that is all we would do. Was at Aetna almost every weekend. Starting when the sun went down. Sleep the next day. Problem now with kids, you can't sleep the next day. HAHA!

I am not opposed to night wheeling; it's the idea of 24 hours thing that gets me. I'm glad they do it, and I'm really interested in the evening videos, but I can't see great decisions being made in the last 8 hours after wheeling for 16 hours.

whoops
In my defense... I wasn’t looking where I was going
-
I finally watched this.
- think would be fun to do a 24 hour challenge if your preped and have a rig built out right with spares
- the lady showing up with her junk broken is ridiculous. She acts like she is a little more special that what she is
- Ian getting pissed while everyone taking their IG famous pic, was rightly so. Everyone staring
- who shows up without a skid
- anyone wonder how well stickies do, this a great display
- Park looks fun, I would go. Its not dug out and has rock after rock

I watched this as well and thought it was pretty neat. Film quality is pretty high I would say. There is a little added stuff that I could care less for. You can tell the drivers could care less about the "pink helmet" penalty even though it was prefaced as a big deal.
I would be interested to see how it is wheeling with as many film crew people as seen in some shots. I wonder if they try to do retakes of stuff. That would probably bug me if I just got over an obstacle and was asked to do it again because they need a different angle or something.
That land does look awesome and would love to wheel that location in the future. Constant rocks and constant BIG rocks looks awesome.
I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos released!

It's just marketing. Marvin and his dad created that company. From the Axel website:
"AXEL Off Road was founded 2012 by Axel and Marvin Stammel - as a father & son business. With several decades of wheeling experience around the USA and in Europe..."
-
I believe that was the name brand helmet I used to have.

Wow, then I think I got a hell of a deal from you, presuming that's the one I have.

That trail looks intense. I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode. Its sort of funny that none of them are wearing a helmet (like the intent of the Axel Offroad helmets) on any of the sketchy/difficult climbs but their using it as a pun for not making an obstacle. Seems like a bad advertising campaign to me.
-
You can tell the drivers could care less about the "pink helmet" penalty even though it was prefaced as a big deal.
It's just marketing. Marvin and his dad created that company. From the Axel website:
"AXEL Off Road was founded 2012 by Axel and Marvin Stammel - as a father & son business. With several decades of wheeling experience around the USA and in Europe..."
Ahhh that's makes sense. thanks for clarifying

This video, I think, is better than the first one. Shows some stuff that the other video didn't show like some breaks and stuff.

Much better video. Thanks for sharing. That place is legit.

Here is a third video, it is pretty good but the ads pop up like every 5 minutes and makes it tough to watch.
Matt's air compressor running all the time to keep his front locked is so annoying and is just another reason I am so damn happy I am ditching my selectable front locker.
-
Man that compressor would drive me nuts! I read on hardline though that the locker itself is cracked and thats why it's leaking. So either have it run or spent 750 on a new locker..

Yep, a little noise is cheaper than $750

What are you going with, Detroit? I love mine in the rear and when the time comes to go with tons it'll be Detroit front and rear.
His compressor noises make it almost unbearable to watch. If it wasn't for my adblocker I'd have given up on it by now. I'm still shocked he was able to take that JK up the trail. It's impressive for sure!

We are headed to this park in October. Hope it is worth the trip.If not Clayton, Superlift and SMORR will help make it a fun trip.

two things: 1) Really, only $750 for the new locker...seems cheap for an ARB. B) If it's just a leak, surely an entire locker isn't needed.
I'm watching the vid now...maybe it'll be clearer later, but I'm not being annoyed by any noises, and I haven't heard the explanation yet on the locker.

yeah those things are more expensive than i thought, though I'm sure BK probably pays closer to 700-750

SMORR's is a blast! Flat Nasty is about 35 to 40 minutes from SMORR's and it's a fun little park as well.

We went to Mid America Park a few weeks ago. Words can not describe the place. I was like an all inclusive resort for 4 wheeling. There was free beer,free food,free margaritas, free daiquiries, free bar at the pool,at least 12 food vendors,and trails everywhere. But i did not see any big rocks like that other place.

Not really.
When the compressor is running off and on, it means the locker is locking and unlocking. Mine did it at Chocco and I’m convinced that was what broke my axle shaft. Unlocked and then locked w wheel speed.

I have a Detroit in the rear. But decided on a Yukon Grizzly for the front. Same as a Detroit, just made by Yukon. About $100 cheaper than the Detroit and a life time warranty

Their warranty process is fun. You have to mail it back and wait for them to inspect before you get a replacement. Heard of it taking months.

Man this makes me want to get out so bad. Definitely adding this park to the list to hit. Looks like I'll need to knock the rust off on some easier stuff first.
Grubb's JL and Rockstar jeep(minus no trans skid - like y'all said wtf and minus the MTs - those are so ugly) are awesome. Rest are ok. The blue JKU is annoying, everything for the gram, showing up unprepared for an event like this - not a fan.
The pink helmet schtick was meh.
Definitely looks like a fun trail.

yeah. I watched it ,too and it made me wanna hit trails so badly ,@BigPrince
I think I could cram my 4 door thru that last trail and would freaking love to try.

did the Gridlock jeep finish or not? i was confused last night, but it looked like he had some sort of trans issue

I’m not sure we find that part out until they release the 2nd half of the 24 hours footage.
I think it one of the videos they say his trans pump wasn’t working...that’s internal to the trans right? Doesn’t sound like a trail fix.

I much preferred Matt's video over the FRR one.

2nd episode is tonight at 8 on you tube

22 hours on ONE trail, 15 rigs, mile and a half total! BIG ass rocks!

Learned a lot of people on there were required to be there for sponsors. Interesting fact is all.

that world is wiley and weird. I got toes in it by favoring Synergy Mfg and touting them so avidly back when jko had regulars & was courting vendors. It was almost effortless after they started sending stuff , others followed ...it is amazing how badly manufacturers want grapevine or wordofnouth about their products. I can imagine folks like the litebrites and that chief blue jku lady ( annoying as all getout) actually are aggressive in the pursuit , probably pay for very little aside from fuel .
Ipolitely put a stop after I declined a wrap-vert on my mallcrawler nor could I be held to be required to go on rides annually (w/my job = no way possible) . Some make their life out of the common practice .

Free parts are great and all but they don’t buy groceries. how much actual cash does this kind of stuff yield?

YouTube pays the bills while sponsors pay for the builds. I’ve done enough research* about how to be a professional influencer to know that it’s crazy lucrative if you’re good at it but it’s also truly a full time job.
*I did said research because I couldn’t believe how many nice things these stupid YouTube kids could afford to have after some conversations at work.

I just wonder how many are putting up a front. I know what kind of revenue ads generate (1 cent - 3 cents per view, exclusive of ad blocked views), and some of these channels can only be making a few hundred bucks per video at MOST. With the time taken to shoot, edit, plus other expenses (in the case of wheeling videos: gas, meals on the road, a trailer, wear and tear on both rig and truck, etc...) they can't be pocketing much at the end of the day.
For example, take Matt's first video. It's currently at 19,000 views +-. So 19,000 * 2 cents per view: $380. He's in Alabama, so 1,100 miles round trip to OK at lets estimate $2.25 per gallon of diesel and 12mpg = $206 just to get there. We'll assume a tank of gas to run that trail for 24 hours = another $40. That doesn't account for wear and tear on truck and trailer, meals on the road, wear and tear on the trail rig, or any broken parts and he's already down to $134 for a ton of work. He will likely get a few more views over the next few weeks on part 1, but most of his trail ride videos are between 20k-30k views. Some of his bouncer videos definitely have more. Another important piece is this is all independent contractor money, so tax rate is MUCH higher, plus he still needs health insurance, retirement, etc...
I know some people make more per video, but I still think some of these guys are putting up a front just to try to be an youtube star.

Pump is part of the torque converter.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but the pump is actually located behind the torque converter. It is what you slide the torque converter on before you install the tranny.

id believe it. Carnage Canyon is about the same length and we spent maybe 4hrs on it and stopped ALOT.

Coyote Canyon at Moab was very short (.065) but hard.
We had 7 rigs go thru but don't remember how long it
took. Felt like we got through pretty quick though.

Kenny Blume - 26:44 from what I've read

Looks like some other solid trails there too:
This is my home base wheeling park (even though I live in Houston) and it is definitely some of the most challenging terrain I've wheeled. I've never seen a four door JK run Tackett Creek, so props on that, I'm sure it was difficult. In March of 2019 we held a 24 Hours of Burris (now Rugged Mountain Ranch) and we ran every trail in the park in a little over 14 hours (in buggies, and two trails we ran halfway due to breakage). Every year there has been a Tackett Creek Challenge Race and last year Kenny Blume won with a time of almost 30 minutes.
Not diminishing the feat of getting all of these full bodies rigs to the finish line, but wanted to give a frame of reference on how fast it can be ran.
And as Clutchee said, Asylum is arguably the hardest trail. It's shorter than Tackett, and it’s as brutal as Upper Upper Tackett, but it's nonstop. You enter the trail and it is pretty much a nonstop fight until the end.
