CLOSED ROAD SURVEYING! Green Ridge 177, Larimer County, Colorado
Saturday August 3rd we had the pleasure of driving Green Ridge Road 177 from Chambers Lake up to Deadman area inspecting some issue spots along the road, along with options for re-routing around these areas.
Prior to this trip I had some some google earth recon and identified what looked to be an existing route that tied into a timber sale area, after finding it yesterday and scoping it out, it's highly likely that you'll see the final push to the mud hole blocked off, and the trail re-routed to the west to skip that horridly deep mud hole (that while fun for some) is a major point of contention with the specialists that have a job to do keeping areas prestine.
This video is near real time,...

this fire started off as a little puff of smoke and exploded to over 800 acres by the time the 20 minute drone video finished recording. I did have to land and swap batteries, so total time from start to end is 30 minutes.
Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Moody Hill Chevy!

Saturday July 20th Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery sent a team up Moody Hill just west of Fort Collins Colorado to recover a Chevy Traverse that tried to descent the steep hill near County Road 44H. After realizing this was not a safe road to travel, they hiked out and called for help. An analysis of the road conditions at the bottom yielded a pretty unanimous decision that the only way out wa...
Johnny Park Trail 6-29-2024

June 29th we took some friends and friends of friends up Johnny Park trail right on the Larimer/Boulder county line south of Estes Park, Colorado. Had one brand new wheeler with us and one almost new wheeler so it was a good trail to show them what their vehicles were capable of! Aside from the rental side by sides that have absolutely zero trail ettiqutte knowledge it was a fanatastic day!!
Storm Mountain 153 trail work day! Tree cutting, hand tools, mountain cardio!

Saturday June 8th Big Thompson Wheelers went up our adopted trail 153 (closed since 2020 due to the Cameron Peak Fire) on our USFS trail agreement and swept the trail for trees down, and did our best to fill in the big washout mid-way down 153 which is the actual reason why this trail is still closed. After an hour of back breaking hand tool work, we were able to fill it in enough to get an ope...
Late April SNOW WHEELING!

April 27th I finally got to go snow wheeling! Almost thought I would get skunked this year due to life being too busy, but everything cancelled today because of "weather" and this club run was still on! Great day in the hills playing in the fresh powder!
2024 Total Solar Eclipse

Something a little different for the channel since the offroad trails are just now starting to be accessible for the season, I drove 1208 miles down to Texas to witness my first ever solar eclipse! This is some 5x and 10x shots off my SLR of a timelapse of the action! And the clouds cleared just in time for totality and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy!

Reopening Northern Colorado - Episode #2 - Bald Mountain Sawfest
What setting did you change in Forscan? This is the first video I could find on changing it. I’m going to also buy one of those start/stop eliminators. So tired of all the forced “features”. 😂
the problem is the power wagon isn't meant for towing. That's why its tow capacity is about the same as a 1/2ton truck.
So I tried TLDR and skipped to what I thought were the important parts and felt dumber for still not understanding why the X-lock was needed, so I forced myself to start from the beginning where I was reminded that the more line you have on your drum, the less towing capacity your winch has (forehead slap). LoL, because I used to help run 6 43 ton (bridge weight) off-road trucks and we only had a side mounted PTO rated for 5,000 pounds and we were very aware of how to get the most out of what we had (use the radio to call another vehicle LoL. Usually you were stuck because a wheel went into a bottomless pothole or mud ridge and all your other 5 foot tall wheels were spinning and you needed just enough assist -you hope- to get that wheel up). An X-lock does make sense if you don't have a convenient anchor point that allows you to maximize your winch's pulling power. Now if it could only help you when your dumb friend goes into the water you told him not to, and you dug yourself into the soft, fine sand using your jerk strap so now you are both sitting on your frames connected by a really tight rubber band...
Power wagon the bestv
Buy normal tires, on power wagon, this tires is pice of shit
Driver power wagon,- need learning drive..
That Traverse is not made to traverse that tough of terrain...
Great video with documentation. I’m considering a power wagon and good to know this.
AWD CARS NEED TO BE FINED FOR GOING INTO PLACES LIKE THIS all the do is TEAR UP THE TRAIL
you need a Jeep brother trade that in for a gladiator thank me later !
That mud hole didn’t look that difficult but it sure sucked the front of that Lexus up.
That traverse don't even have the proper tires and off road feature to be going off road. Explains why people hate vehicles getting stuck due to vehicle not built for off roading.
One more heavy steel object flying back at you when it pinch-breaks the winch line!
It's actually impressive if you watch close. Many times when it was teeter tottering the traction control did a good job of locking the wheels that were in the air. Still way too much of a trail for a front wheel based AWD vehicle to drive. When you all said you were smelling clutches it was actually probably the brakes overheating from the traction control. Probably a rental so the driver didn't care until there was a chance of the type of damage they would have to pay for. Thanks for the video!
Yes!!! Thank you. Mentioning that bulletin killed the: “it’s a Jeep thing” comment. Getting my steering gearbox changed just under the warranty window. Thank you for this! 🫡
Power Wagon on 37s would walk that, even before your work.
Dang right!!
@JustinKingOffroad I bet you miss it a bit. It is not the best tow rig, it isn't fuel efficient, but it defies the odds off road.
@@johnfitzgerald5158 a little. But I do much more truck stuff where I need the capacity.
@JustinKingOffroad yeah, I would never buy it for towing. I like it for having enough room to throw a family load of stuff for travel, but also be competent for off roading excursuons, including some extreme terrain. Plus, enough utility for hauling stuff in the bed.
It’s a ford !
I might of missed it but how much were you towing and do you have the 3.73 heard or 4.10?
Fully loaded that trailer was probably north of 11,000 maybe even closer to 12,000. Power wagons all have 4.10 gears.
@@JustinKingOffroad ah sorry I did my own research thought they could tow a little more than 17k like the 6.4 2500
This is why u dont buy ford!
When you go take it in and see that repair bill you will indeed get a...powerstroke 🤣😅😂
Lmao I have warranty left. Not much but it's getting fixed now.
So are you going to put in a CHARGING STATION FOR US along the way ???/
Lol!!
I walked down there the year before the fire. We were camping close to the burned out facilities. I was just heading down to the dam of lost lake. We used to camp there when I was a kid. It was muddy back then also
What’s the story on Sevenmile not reopening?
Coming soon!! November 1st if I remember correctly.
any luck with the FS?
It was scheduled for repair this year and we just had another fire close by. So as far as I know the project is on hold yet again. :(
If you think the front end on the Rubicon isn't up to snuff. You are going to be a very sad individual if you stray off anything above a fire road in the Bronco.
So far this has proven otherwise. 11,000 miles solid fun!
22 year Mechanic here. Stay far away from ford and the chinese garbage they scam people with.
Awesome footage and info. Thanks. Please open our Fav trail ! The lack of tree canopy allowing the sun and wind to get in the bad spots and dry them out 😎🤘🏼☀️☀️
Assembled in Usa or Mexico?
Power wagons are "3" vins. Aka made in mexico.
@@JustinKingOffroad ben Binge Watching PW videos like yours. Lease in coming up on my 2022 5.7 1500 BackCountry and looking to move up to a 2500 . On the Fence about a Off/Road Packaged 2500 Big Horn or just go for the PW !
@@mrmoparrr my only gripe with the power wagon was the low capacity. Required for off-road stuff, but I need a truck more for truck stuff. I'd go with the big horn and put a winch and bumper on it! Power wagon is awesome, but has half ton capacity.
@@JustinKingOffroad been researching this type of info. I want to be able to tow atleast a 30ft RV Camper Non 5 fifth.
@@mrmoparrr I pulled mine, and have friends that pull 37 footers. You're not going anywhere fast at any more than about 5-7 mpg. It'll do it, same engine and transmission as the non-pwagon.
Fix Or Repair Daily, theres a reason they started saying that after the Triton
I wasn't expecting any issues with less than 50,000 on the Odo!
Used to work at a Ford dealer, we had a GT350R roll right back in on a flatbed after engine knock about 3000 miles in. They gave it a long block but then it came back again after 27 miles because a lifter spring parted company.
Triton was ass too
After the Triton? Just after? 😅😅😅
You said something about just recently filling up did you recheck your gas cap
Fuel cap is on tight yep!
You are driving while using your phone, thanks for the feedback. We will be raising your insurance rate to $10,000 per month.
Lol
Never buy a ford
I missed your truck update. Power Wagon is gone!
Yep about a year and a half now
check your cold side tube from the intercooler to the turbo, mine cracked at 60k and did the same thing. easy to replace, the crack caused excess regen
I have an aftermarket cold charge pipe to prevent that exact problem!
Yes, mine cracked 2 weeks a go, original part about 120.00 3 min to replace it. Mine pop up at 39k miles
Good day sir, are you doing recoverys anymore? Love your videos.
As many as I can up my way. Most of the good stuff is 6 hours or more round trip.
Any transmission issues? I had a 17 PW and got rid of it because of tranny issues......I live in CASPER also...lol
Justin where did you purchase the Come Up winch? Great trail video! Thanks
Ironically I found a smoking deal at toytec here in Colorado!
Thanks for the info
how much did it weight?
I never scaled it. But I'm guessing north of 12,000.
If you buy a new Ram/Jeep..... Open the TIPM and push any fuse down *click*, repeat for every fuse/breaker/relay. None of the fuses are fully seated which creates an open electrical bridge at the base of the fuse contact. If you live near Salt water or where roads are chemically treated, the aerosolized salts will condense at the electrical bridge created by the fuses. I have had a '16,17,20,21,23,24 model FCA/Stellantis and found this to be the case(unseated fuses). In every case I seated them fully and not only had no issues as a result, but have had literally no electrical issues. I'm sure the TIPM is populated by robot, they look exactly the same and uniform, but the fuses are not seated. *some of the above is opinion/speculation but it is founded in experience that supports them.
I'm actually going to get a top light bar and their rear light bar to work with their system, because of what I do is what I need for safety reasons. I can't wait till I get the funds for it.
I love green ridge rd. Any idea when it’ll be open again? I used to go all the time.
the FS has to get some of their team in there to evaluate, but there was very positive remarks in the field about how it's basically ready to go. needs some work in the boggy areas first. it really shouldn't be too long. I'd hope next season!
@@JustinKingOffroad awesome, thanks for the update!
Which 4x4 club?
big thompson wheelers!
@JustinKingOffroad in live in Red Feather Lakes. We have a good size group, not really a club though. Maybe we should make it a club. If you ever need a hand up there please reach out. We would love to help. Last weekend we road around nunn creek, had 11 machines, we could all bring our saws
Thanks for the Ride Justin. Definitely some beautiful country that some don't get to see.
Pinstripes! Yeah! They probably shouldn't open it. Too many knuckleheads.
Nice treat. Thanks for the ride along!
I ran this trail the opposite way in August of 2020, it was a little bit wetter. It doesn't look quite the same after the fire. I do hope it gets re-opened, there was a really nice camp site near Laramie lake that we were planning on camping at the year of the fire.
I think that lake is quite popular!!
Green Ridge is one of my favorite trail systems… it was a trail that in the 80’s that mainly was big block on 44” tires trail rigs … deep rut winch a thons with a side of endless tree cutting … the entire trail system is so much easier to travel these days … glad to see it reopened … glad to see the 4wheeler and side by side off shoots healed up since I was last there before the fire
Not open yet, but hopefully soon!!! It was super fun to drive!
The cell tower is on Black Mtn that covers that area Open Signal app will point you to the nearest tower… the older versions used to show you the tower locations
What a trek Justin! I may have to watch ina couple sessions! Looks great so far.
Yep it's a crazy long one. Way longer than I usually would publish.
Thanks for the detailed ownership review. Just got my 2024 Rubicon in mid July. Not planning to do any mods as its a very capable vehicke for my use case. Occasional dirt roads leading to trail heads for back country hiking/camping. It's not my daily driver. I will be putting about 5,000 miles a year. It's my first Jeep and I like it very much so far.
