Another successful 2200 mile trip in the MJ. To the Mojave trail. Video

We survived another huge trip in the Comanche. Other than a cracked exhaust pipe, the trip was trouble free. We took back roads as much as possible from N CA to Mojave. If you like the video, please give a like and comment and consider watching another of our videos. It's supposed to help the YouTube algorithm. There is much more cool stuff to come in future videos. 

 

It's not shown in the video, but we drove by Pyramid Lake and camped near Fallon. Breakfast at the historic Middlegate Station, then we were off  to the International Car Forrest in Goldfield NV. The next night was spent at the Goldpoint Ghost town, then we made it to Afton Canyon for the start of the trail. My parents accompanied us on this trip in their 2020 JL towing a Sherpa off road trailer.

Yay! Another one of your videos. Looks like you're closing in on 200,000 subscribers! That's very good. I love your videos -- I'm too old and too poor for any more road trips to the western U.S., so I have to live vicariously through your videos. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks for the words and for watching! We're only at 1739 subscribers currently. We haven't even came close to paying for the camera gear from YouTube proceeds at this point. Sadly, our vintage trailer, Gambler 500, technical and product review videos have usually done better than the Jeep overland ones. 

 

At this point, Heather is still enjoying making the videos, if that changes, we will still go on the trips, but you might get stuck with pictures. Thanks again for your support!

Oops. I guess I was reading those subscriber numbers a bit optimistically.

 

The quality of your videos is right up there with anything on YooToob, but what I love is your MJ. It's still an MJ. You put a mild lift on it, added some trekking gear, and it's being used the way an MJ should be used. I cringe every time I see someone take a perfectly good MJ and carve it up to make a tube buggy rock crawler out of it. With an LS engine, no less. What's the point? Start with an XJ, not a rare MJ -- or start with an S10 or a Ford ranger.

 

Your MJ is where I would have liked my off-road MJ to have gone. Life intervened.
