No Man's Land | Built Jeep Gladiator & XJ Epic Off-Road Adventure

Spring is in the air, and while the world may seem to be in complete chaos, there's an escape that has always been the solution to whatever the universe wants to throw at me. Get in the truck and go adventuring, and this is the story till now. What is up everybody? Welcome back. Thanks for tuning in. I hope you're having a great week. We're getting ready to go out today and do some exploration. We're going to have some fun. We're just going to hit some trails, see what happens. I'm meeting up with my buddy Kyle, who is actually the first person I ever went off-roading with.

What's up? We're just at the bottom of the trail getting ready to go up with Kyle. On my first time ever wheeling, I went out with Kyle from ... Is that a BCG club? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I remember loving this XJ, because it was bigger than mine, but it was like a fame color. You're backfiring like crazy. Not good. We found a trail through some trees and headed out. Log in the way. Move the log from this way over to this side. Snatch block to a tree. Sure. See what happens. We got this around the tree. Snatch block on the tree over there. Line to the Jeep. Somehow get it underneath it more. Maybe put it in the middle. Maybe we can pull the strap up on the tree a little bit to get a different angle. That's a good idea. And then move this more over too. We're just changing up the strap. Put it on this end of the stump. See if we can get it to lift up a bit so that we can get through here. It's going. Whoa! Yeah! Right out of the way, we left this part of the trail and carried on into the forest. Kyle led me through some of the first trails I ever wheeled on, but I'd completely forgotten how to find them. Are you stuck? That looks so crazy. Dude, this is nuts. You can't even get out. Ah, it does nothing. I need a winch. I might get some body damage after this one. That's okay. Dude, stick your head out the window again. That looks so cool. Ah! Ill-advised hill. Going to have to pull Kyle out here. Shouldn't be too bad. This is going to be interesting. An easy winch pull and we got Kyle out, and without any body damage on the XJ. As we headed out onto the dry lake bed, the green forest was replaced by dead trees and stumps left from when the area was clear cut long ago, before it was flooded by a hydroelectric dam further south. Had to get the flex on in the stumps, obviously. The water level in this lake fluctuates because of the dam, and right now the level is at one of the lowest points ever. Because of this, we're able to drive extremely far out on the flats, and we decided to see just how far we could get. We'd have to be extremely careful, as the ground can change from solid to deep mud without warning, and we'd be far from any source of assistance. But we're pretty well equipped for this. Down in my hole. Got himself stuck again. Just another day. By the way guys, we got stickers out now. Check out dirtyanddangerous.com 10 bucks, round stickers, very limited quantities. Get them before they sell out. Show some support. Appreciate you guys. We're just driving around on the lake bed out here. Endless, endless terrain and stumps. And it's pretty cool. We're just going to see how far we can get along the side of the lake here, because it's pretty interesting. Music Being way out here, it really does feel like being on another planet. That's a power station. Yeah, that's on... So we made it as far as we can get along the flats here, along the lake, without turning into a boat, which we're not going to do. And then it was my turn to get stuck in some mud. The lake right there flattened out. Crazy. I so badly want to try it again but then I don't. That sunk deep. Crazy. Yup. Alright. Off we go. Music Engine revving Oh! You hit it! After ripping my fender off for the second time in a month, we headed out of the mud and upriver. We made it. Doesn't get much better than this on a nice day. Riverside all to ourselves. Don't worry, I didn't break the fender. It clips back on. Just going for a swim. No big deal. Woo! Waist deep. I don't know. It's about one degree outside. Celsius. There's ice on some of this water and snow. It's cold. It was getting late and after an adventure filled day, we headed back home. Thanks for watching guys.
