1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,240 Welcome to Batch's Off-Road! 2 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,520 Join us as we talk about everything from gear reviews to trail stories, tent camping to 3 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,080 rock landing, and all things to do with the outdoors. 4 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,280 Today we're going to talk a little bit about our upcoming trip. 5 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,440 It's going to be a little 30 minute mini-sode. 6 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,040 I have Alex and Mark here. 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,040 And Batch's are going up north. 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,080 Yeah, well, kind of. 9 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,280 Not north, north. 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Yeah. 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,800 Anything above Grand Rapids is north enough for us. 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,360 This is a big trip for us. 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,600 Yeah, if you want to get the Michigan way of north, it's anything north of where we 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,600 actually live from. 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,600 Pretty much. 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,600 So it counts. 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:10,560 Yeah, no, we're actually heading up to Cadillac area and I think we're doing Yuma trails. 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,400 And for Onyx, if you're looking at Onyx on this, it's rated as difficulty moderate, five 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,680 out of 10. 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:26,760 So there are very few trails actually in Michigan that are rated moderate or even difficult, 21 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,360 if any. 22 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,320 So Yuma is one of the few. 23 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,280 And then we're going to try to hit up a couple other ones that are south of Cadillac a little 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,440 bit or in this general vicinity. 25 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,200 I think there's Line Trail. 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,080 I think there's a couple of them down here. 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:51,920 NF, what is it, NFS 7515, NFS 5032, and then Line. 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,840 And then 37 Trail as well. 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,840 Oh, yep. 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,840 Yep. 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,840 Yeah. 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,200 So fine Line Trail of of FS 5775. 33 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,760 So that's our plan. 34 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,400 And I think we're doing that what we're doing Thursday through Sunday. 35 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520 Thursday through, yeah, Thursday through Sunday. 36 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,320 I mean, I'm coming home Monday. 37 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760 So yeah, same with me. 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Yeah, I think most of our wheel is coming the weekend. 39 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,400 Yeah. 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,420 So yeah, I think we're this episode will actually come out on Sunday. 41 00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:28,720 So it'll be just before we come home. 42 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,720 Yeah. 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,280 And we'll do a little mini episode after we come back about how it went, what happened, 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,720 hopefully nothing breaking, stuff like that. 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,240 But I know we're going to go up there, Alex and I Thursday and Mark and Alan, I think 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600 are coming up a little bit later. 47 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:54,960 So Alex, Alex and I are going to secure a campsite, find something along the way that 48 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,760 kind of makes sense for us, maybe cut some firewood, get some stuff set up for, you know, 49 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,960 the far five days that we're going to be there. 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:11,160 And then we'll wait for you guys, cook some dinner, you know, go over all of our systems 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,440 real quick, make sure everything's tip top before we head out. 52 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,320 I'm assuming Friday. 53 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,840 Yeah, Friday. 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,120 I'm sure we'll hit most of the trails on Friday and then Saturday we'll figure out what we 55 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,360 want to do from there. 56 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,160 And I mean, even if we only wheel three, four hours a day, it's a nice relaxing weekend, 57 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,160 you know? 58 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:38,560 Yeah, I think I think maybe doing Yuma Hills one day, maybe doing a couple trails to get 59 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:49,480 to NFS 5032 and 7515 and the fine line trail, maybe Sunday or something. 60 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Yep. 61 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,720 Just to polish it off because it is a little bit farther. 62 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360 It's just past or just south of Harietta. 63 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,280 So I mean, it's not super long. 64 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,680 I do have some campsites around the area and I know Alex does too. 65 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,080 So we're probably going to scout those out while we're out. 66 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,400 I like to I like to have those documented for future when any other times you'd like 67 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,400 to go out. 68 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,420 I like to have pictures, any special notes, ratings on each campsite. 69 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:23,640 So I know what to expect. 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,840 So that's something I'm looking forward to is there's a few on Yuma trails that I don't 71 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,500 have any I don't have any confirmed campsites around Yuma with. 72 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:37,900 So that's kind of that's kind of my plan is while we're up there, I'm going to be kind 73 00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:39,800 of multitasking doing that. 74 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,600 Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. 75 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000 We're going to see if I break the forerunner. 76 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,600 Please don't completely rebuilt front end. 77 00:04:50,600 --> 00:05:01,760 Yeah, upper and lower control arms, new ball joints, new CV axles, new springs, new shocks, 78 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:02,760 while coil overs. 79 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,560 But I mean, it has no excuse to break this time. 80 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,560 None. 81 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,040 And now it will because you said that and and it's gusseted. 82 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,400 We got left the body and engine that might go bad. 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,840 Mark, stop. 84 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,840 Now you're getting the frame. 85 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,240 No, we did the frame. 86 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,880 We have had one frame collapse. 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,880 I am good. 88 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,720 Get the ratchet out, boys. 89 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360 No, I we should be fine. 90 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,480 I don't I don't foresee anyone's vehicles having any kind of failures. 91 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,040 I did travel Yuma at one point. 92 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,920 I can't remember if I did the full thing because my phone died during the trail. 93 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,520 So I don't have my onyx doing the full trail. 94 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200 I only have about half of it. 95 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,480 I think I did the full one, but it wasn't too bad. 96 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,040 It was definitely really fun. 97 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,080 It was more technical than we're used to around here. 98 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,640 So it'll be a lot of fun for us. 99 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,640 Mark, did you do anything upcoming to get ready for this? 100 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Any upgrades the last week or two to prepare? 101 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Well, the only thing I've done is remount my skid plate. 102 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:24,280 I had a old welded on nuts and breaking those off and turning it into riv nuts instead. 103 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:29,080 Then remounted that skid play up and then bought a tip for this weekend because we only 104 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,400 be Alex been sharing a tip the last couple of times now. 105 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,960 So we had to get another one from me and my brother. 106 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680 The best hundred dollar tent money can buy. 107 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,080 There you go. 108 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,320 I think you might be forgetting a little thing called breaks. 109 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Didn't you do those too? 110 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,160 Yes, I did do those too. 111 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,240 I'm trying to remember because I couldn't remember if that was like a month ago, but 112 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,160 I'm pretty sure that was recent. 113 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,160 And boy did you need those. 114 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Yes. 115 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,240 You don't like it when the pedal goes straight to the floor? 116 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,120 I still got that partially, but at least it's better than having a death wobble while breaking. 117 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,120 Oh yeah. 118 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,120 Yeah. 119 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,640 I mean having having leaves for brake pads was probably not the best thing. 120 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Well that wasn't the best either, but for at the time I had no money to even get the 121 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360 whole new calipers or anything because I had to replace calipers. 122 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,120 So I just bought pads and use the use rotors and it was doing a death wobble because how 123 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,600 uneven the rotors were. 124 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,560 I was going to say those are probably pretty damn warped. 125 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,560 Yes. 126 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,980 Yes, please Alex. 127 00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:37,980 Because let it be known. 128 00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:40,120 We have no money to fix our trucks. 129 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,480 Yeah, exactly. 130 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Especially Alex because he just redid the whole front end. 131 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:54,740 And not only did he just redo the front end, it was just for a five out of 10 trail. 132 00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,420 This is all in prepare for Yuma. 133 00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:59,920 This is our big one for the end of the year. 134 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,080 I mean you got to remember I broke it driving down a dirt road. 135 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,080 Yes. 136 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720 Not even the trail yet. 137 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,720 That's okay. 138 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600 This last weekend I turtled on some logs. 139 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920 So that was embarrassing. 140 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,920 Let it be known. 141 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,120 The FJ's wheelbase is exactly four logs wide. 142 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,800 Yeah, we won't tell you the measurements on that, but four logs wide and it's perfect. 143 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,200 It's just enough to get some skin on either side of the tire. 144 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,800 I just watched everybody else go over it and then I went to go over it and it just goes 145 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,360 thud and all wheels are spinning. 146 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,240 I'm like, okay, well, fine. 147 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,240 We'll have to line up. 148 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,520 I don't think your wheelbase is that much shorter than mine. 149 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,920 We have to be pretty close. 150 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,840 You two have to be close. 151 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,680 I think mine's a little bit smaller. 152 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,000 No, I can't. 153 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720 I don't know. 154 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040 You'll have to look that up. 155 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,040 For me. 156 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,040 All right. 157 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,520 Are you ready for this? 158 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760 Yeah, you got like two inches. 159 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,320 The third gen 4Runner is 105.3 inches. 160 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,560 The FJ Cruiser is 105.9 inches. 161 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,320 That's all that matters. 162 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,480 You're actually wider than me. 163 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Wider, yes. 164 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,400 You're longer. 165 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,880 You're longer by 0.6 inches. 166 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,640 That's all that I honestly, that's all that I needed. 167 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,680 That's all that 0.6 inches right there. 168 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:38,680 And the tires. 169 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:39,680 I'll give you that. 170 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,680 And the tires. 171 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:41,680 Yeah. 172 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:45,680 I have all terrains and he's got, I think, MTs because he's got some chunky bitches on 173 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,680 there. 174 00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:47,680 Yeah. 175 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,680 Cheap old MTs. 176 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:49,680 Yeah. 177 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,280 But hey, you got that over me. 178 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,280 We have the same lift and everything too. 179 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,920 So that 0.6 inches, man. 180 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Not to say. 181 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,160 I might have some height on you. 182 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,800 I might have some ground clearance on you. 183 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,800 I think you do. 184 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,920 I think you have ground clearance on me. 185 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,000 I'm loaded down a lot heavier than you are. 186 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,680 So first, not right now. 187 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,000 I might still be. 188 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,480 So I bet you got more ground clearance than I do right now. 189 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,160 I got that back so loaded, dude. 190 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,160 Yeah, that's true. 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Yeah. 192 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,000 You got your whole fucking rear end is filled. 193 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,400 I think I even have my 10 in there just to take some take some stuff out of mine. 194 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,320 But I know I have a constant I have 200 pound constant load springs on there. 195 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:40,120 And those are pretty much I'm not saying they're done, but the bumper itself is like close 196 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,160 to 100 pounds if not steel bumper. 197 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,240 So I was I'm probably already over that. 198 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,240 I should went higher. 199 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,360 Now I got a 45 pound fridge in the back and you can tell when you air down that the right 200 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,600 side is obviously heavier. 201 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,600 So you just need 45 pounds of water weight on the other side to even it out. 202 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,280 Yeah, I got to figure out a water system that's you guys are carrying my water this time. 203 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,560 Because I didn't have enough money to figure out a decent water system. 204 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,960 I have a five gallon water container, but I literally have nowhere to put it. 205 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:22,680 So I think what I'm going to end up doing is doing the PVC water storage on the roof. 206 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,880 You have a five gallon water jug. 207 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,460 Yeah, which I have already mentioned that I had for some reason I didn't catch that. 208 00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:32,600 You should bring that tomorrow before we leave. 209 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,280 That way I can leave it for the guys to bring up. 210 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Yeah, because then we'll have 15 gallons with us, which should be more than enough. 211 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Okay. 212 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Yeah, I'll bring it tomorrow. 213 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Just remind me. 214 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,800 So okay. 215 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,360 So yeah, Alex, you did your whole front end and preparing for Yuma. 216 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Mark, you did you did your comms, not preparing for Yuma, but you did your comms. 217 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,220 You did your breaks. 218 00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:02,920 And then I think you chased down some ground issues. 219 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,040 Yeah, I still haven't figured that one out yet. 220 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,840 I think it's just how it is at this point. 221 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:16,040 Yeah, because then I think I, I redid my idler pulleys. 222 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,000 I did both tops and the bottom and bell. 223 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,520 I did finally get rid of my squeal. 224 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,440 That thing has been so loud lately. 225 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,500 But it's it's done well. 226 00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:31,000 It's done over like almost 3000 miles on those squeaky idler pulleys. 227 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,400 So now you could sneak up on a bear. 228 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,400 Oh yeah, dude. 229 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Before it was like a dog whistle. 230 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000 Like it was just loud. 231 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,540 It sounded like I had a supercharger just spooling all the time. 232 00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:44,840 Just wait till you hear my AC kick on this weekend. 233 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Oh yeah, that's gonna be rough. 234 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:53,040 So yeah, I did the yeah, I did the idler pulleys. 235 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Max helped me rig up an Anderson jumper for one jumper cables. 236 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,960 But two, I have an Anderson connector now in the front of my truck flush mounted so 237 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:12,040 that I can hook up my compressor and do my air, which is really nice because I have limerizers 238 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,140 and I have to take the limerizers off every time that I have to pop my hood. 239 00:13:16,140 --> 00:13:23,560 So that's kind of a save, save by the bell kind of thing that we did right before. 240 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:29,680 And then we use the alligator clamps that were part of the the compressor. 241 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:34,180 We use some of the leftover cable and we made jumpers that I now have. 242 00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:36,880 So we used as much as we could out of that. 243 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:43,180 And then I rigged up finally or finally rigged up my chase lights in the back. 244 00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:50,220 So now those turn on had Alex run and grab a switch very last second because I decided 245 00:13:50,220 --> 00:13:53,400 I just was going to hook them up straight up to the battery and didn't even think about 246 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,400 it at that point. 247 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,680 No, no, no, I was just going to run them all the times. 248 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,560 Those are daytime running chasers at that point. 249 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:09,560 But no, he helped me help me think about that because at that point, my brain is fried and 250 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,440 I could not really think about how to rig the the wiring up. 251 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,840 So he helped me kind of narrow that down. 252 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,880 We hodgepodge some wiring together to make sure I had enough length to get that hooked 253 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,880 up. 254 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,300 We got that done. 255 00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:30,960 And then yesterday, I'm sorry, actually earlier today in preparation, I moved my seat up, 256 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:36,080 I don't know, three inches, two or three inches. 257 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,680 I've been having issues with my all top fridge slide. 258 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,360 Like I have to like ram it in there to get it to actually lock in because the rear seats 259 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,000 in the FJ are at an angle and there's not actually enough room for the fridge to comfortably 260 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,040 sit in there. 261 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,640 So I kind of had to ram it in. 262 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:02,560 So I moved the seats up just a little bit and and now everything's in there. 263 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:11,880 I will not disclose this information for repetitive Tory safety concerns for children listening. 264 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,640 Let's just say it was done redneckedly. 265 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:22,800 And as safe as I could possibly make it for DOT standards in the state of Michigan. 266 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,800 Very much job. 267 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,440 It was a much job. 268 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,840 It's a piece of plywood with an engine, two mirrors and turn signals. 269 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Yes, it's a two. 270 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,560 It was a two by six to help move it up forward a little bit. 271 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,600 And a two by six block. 272 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,720 And then I used wood screws to just send her home right into the family without looking 273 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,600 at whatever electrical I had. 274 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:58,480 I just sent it with like a three inch wood screw, two and a half inch deck screw and 275 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480 a three and a half inch deck screw. 276 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,320 All pork bits, though. 277 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,960 So I don't have to worry about stripping my stripping those heads out till there's just 278 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,880 a little bit of rust on them. 279 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,840 Yeah, no, they're coated, man. 280 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,840 They're for the deck. 281 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,840 They're coated. 282 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,960 Nice tan colors stands out really well. 283 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,840 You know, the funniest part of that whole charade, and you probably almost could hear 284 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:29,800 me cussing from your house, was that for me to pull that seat back, which I can't get 285 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,560 in the back of my truck to do that. 286 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:37,620 So I'm sitting on the seat, pulling it back, trying to move the plywood and just yelling 287 00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:42,520 because I'm like, dude, I can't lean the seat back and put the wood behind the seat at the 288 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,760 same time and then screw it down. 289 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:51,080 I ended up getting a ratchet strap and strapping the you know, where the head the head mount 290 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,960 is the little the little bar for the head mount. 291 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,200 I got one hook there, one hook in the the passenger seat there. 292 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,880 Oh, ratcheted it until it pulled the seat up enough to where the fridge would slide 293 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,880 nice. 294 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520 Then I sent those screws home, man. 295 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,320 No electrical issues known yet. 296 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:16,040 I'll let you know that changes after our after a trip. 297 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,040 The plan. 298 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:25,880 I mean, eventually the plan once that once that we change baby seats is to do a full 299 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,720 delete on that anyway. 300 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,440 So baby's still safe, everybody. 301 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,960 It's wrong part of the seat. 302 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,680 So it's just it's just the safety. 303 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,800 You know, the seat isn't latched, but the baby is still safe. 304 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,040 He's in the safety, the safe area where it is latched. 305 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,040 So no big deal. 306 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Anybody who knows that I have a kid worried about him flying or folding up like a lawn 307 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,040 chair next time I stop. 308 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,480 I mean, all right. 309 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Let it be known. 310 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,560 Gavin is our safety officer. 311 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,560 I am. 312 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,040 Yes, I am. 313 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,740 I am the worrywart, too. 314 00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:07,360 So if you know that I'm fucking shit up like this, then there's things there's some things 315 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:11,000 that go on, you know, behind the scenes. 316 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,400 I'm pretty sure I watched Alex wire not a ground once. 317 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,040 It was crazy. 318 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,480 I cannot confirm nor deny that there are wire nuts on my truck. 319 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,320 Yeah, I can't confirm. 320 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,120 Deny is we're way of wiring up my stuff, too. 321 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:29,480 Hey, I saved you on the one. 322 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,480 He was he was. 323 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,480 Are you sure? 324 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,480 Oh, fine. 325 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,480 I'll do it. 326 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,480 Are you happy now? 327 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:40,200 Help me a little bit as the safety officer. 328 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,680 I got I'm a little like church and guys. 329 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,200 I went to the school of hard knocks. 330 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:56,360 Yeah, you went to the you went to a blind electrician school because I mean, it works. 331 00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:57,360 It works just fine. 332 00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,960 He does it all by feel. 333 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:05,440 He just just don't look at it because the ground wire has a slightly slippery side on 334 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,680 it, whereas the positive wire, it's kind of grippy. 335 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,680 Huh? 336 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,600 Yeah, see, that's how I know he's doing it by blind because I didn't feel any grippy 337 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520 or any slippy or I would have thought about that. 338 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,680 We've had some different conversations on grippy and slippy wire. 339 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Hey, man, I love the slippy wire. 340 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,080 I like the grippy wire. 341 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,440 So I guess we're we're all just two peas of a pod. 342 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,240 That's the botches over the offer. 343 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,440 But so cool, man. 344 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,840 We got we got our updated updated build list right now. 345 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,800 All our upgrades for Yuma. 346 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,800 We got our can. 347 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,880 We built them for Yuma. 348 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,880 Just for you. 349 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Yes, five out of 10 Yuma Hills. 350 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,680 So yeah, man, it's going to be it's going to be a lot of fun. 351 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,760 We'll we'll be sure to take pictures, update as we go. 352 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,880 And then we'll do a recap. 353 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,600 And after we get back and we'll talk about what happened, hopefully everything good, 354 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,480 how we like the trail. 355 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,320 For me, I think I've done part of it, but I really enjoyed it. 356 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:21,480 Alex has done some harder trails, so he might he might not like it as much. 357 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,680 But I think it's a good time. 358 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,960 It'll be a good one to check off the list, and I am very much like checking trails off 359 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,960 lists. 360 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,320 So I don't know, man. 361 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,780 I live in Michigan. 362 00:20:31,780 --> 00:20:34,680 My expectations for trails is so low now. 363 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,440 Well, yeah. 364 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,840 You know, it's even lower now that we have the the marble head flattened. 365 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,720 So so at that point, that's like a two out of 10. 366 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,160 There's still Moose Nemesis and Moose Nemesis is pretty, pretty good. 367 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,160 Yeah. 368 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,160 Yeah. 369 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,440 So I'm going to do a trip up there at some point stealthily and and check some stuff 370 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,440 out. 371 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,880 And then, I mean, we've got Skitter Hill and
