WHY I ALMOST had to QUIT OVERLANDING
Ever since I got Pneumonia back in November of 2023, my adventure schedule was riddled with uncertainty. After multiple bouts of antibiotics and steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, my lungs started to recover. THEN, one day while driving to work on the freeway, I all of a sudden became discombobulated. In this video, I talk about the main reason I couldn't go on my adventures during the Winter of this year, a shocking surprise, and what I've been doing to get healthy again.

Modified AWD vs. Modified 4WD. Can I keep up on Moderate Off-road trail?
Просмотров 17 тыс.28 дней назад
Just yesterday on May 26, 2024, I meet up with my buddy Chris from @avoverlandsupply . He organized a group meetup in Calico, and the plan was to drive up to the mines in reverse direction. This would mean we would have to go up a gradual, slight uphill climb. Can an AWD get through the moderately rocky terrain? Would you need modifications? What would be the biggest challenges?

On April 8th, after viewing the Total Eclipse in Harper Texas, we made our way to our group camp site in Big Bend National Park. This place has been on my bucket list for over a decade ever since I've heard so many people say this is their "FAVORITE" national park, out of all the national parks. The drive in was longer than I would have liked, so I was really hoping I would enjoy this place. Fr...

    Great video! Basically pick the trail that is suitable to your car’s(suv, crossover, minivan, sedan, pickup,etc) capabilities if you’re overlanding. Off-roading tough terrain you better have a 4x4with either Atrac or rear lock or both.

    Watching the ending , where you talk about why you stick with the Honda. I get what you're saying about on-road comfort, I have a 4Runner and quite frankly I'm sick of driving it. It's not bad at all, I just do way too many highway miles to really enjoy it. I do think there is a middle ground though, the last generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is available with a low range, but has a very car-like driving experience. I drove my brother-in-law's 2014 Grand Cherokee and was blown away at how smooth it was compared to the 4Runner. I do a little research, they were available with the Hemi V8, can be lifted about 2.5 in, and can fit 33-in tires. They also have a 39 to 1 crawl ratio, which is better than the 4Runner. They can also tow 50% more than the 4Runner, if that is important to people.

    @jeremypilot1015 6 дней назад

    I owned a 2005 Honda Pilot and I was driving through mud holes, never spinning a tire, while S-10 pickups were getting bogged down. There was just something about Honda's AWD that makes them nearly unstoppable off-road. In contrast I had a 2007 Lexus GX-470 that sucked off-road. Too heavy and traction was poor even with locking differentials.

      You’re very welcome! I made the this video over 5 years ago. It’s still relevant, but one thing I would like to add is that once a vehicle is taken on difficult terrain, there’s much more abuse and an exponentially higher risk of failure… NO MATTER WHAT YOY DRIVE. I now have 164K miles on my 2019 Honda passport. It’s lifted about 5 inches and runs 33” tires. No suspension parts have ever failed because I stick to moderate 4WD trails, and only a few times venture into difficult trails, only after doing a lot of research.

    One thing you might not realise is the Outback 3.6R 5sp SEAT has a LSD rear diff which helps with traction when there is wheel lift.

    • @JonDZ_Adventuring
      @JonDZ_Adventuring 8 дней назад

      Source? Subaru incorrectly called their brake vectoring an “E-LSD” for a while. Not sure if they still do. Some versions of the older outbacks had a mechanical LSD with no brake vectoring, but the LSD would wear out and act as an open differential.

      OEM axles are always the best, for any make or model, so yes. I have 163k miles now and still on original rear axles. The fronts have been swapped because of ripped or leaky dust boots. Always go OEM. Aftermarket won’t have boots that can flex as good.

      I think the beauty of this setup is that it's automatic, otherwise I think people might be better off running more powerful inverters. I was carcamping just last night and had just run my 2Kwh watt power station down to 60%. We did a little 3 mile trail and drove into town, and just like that I was at 96% without even thinking about it. If I had to remember to turn it on, or if it accidentally got turned off, I might be in trouble.

You don't have to be so dramatic Marky, a trail like the "Alpine Loop" will be much easier than this. I don't drive a Subaru btw.
