Ram TRX On White Rim Trail

[Music] Shaffer Trail straight ahead [Music] we're heading down forget it no steering the time it's Highway passenger it's gonna be a little bit of a fight to get it on the trailer then it's a long road to get to it again so I'm pretty sure the vehicle we're going to get is right over there through that notch thank you all right your first your first long drive in trail Mater what do you think it is amazing it rides so good like it's silly the fuel injection or whatever throttle body injection just like actually works unlike my truck it's pretty awesome it doesn't get hot like I think it's stated like 170 the whole way here right it shifts like you can go into gear real easy it doesn't like have to grind into every single gear like my truck right the only thing that was missing was air conditioning yeah even that it wasn't bad like my truck has less cabs than that and it's about a thousand degrees hotter really oh for sure Sean's River a little bit that's that's you've driven it but that was probably the furthest like on-road and then dirt road yeah driving steering is like one finger steering like it just turns and it turns real sharp too which is yeah also something my truck does not do all right so what we have here do we have a ram TRX this is the big six two liter supercharged yeah she fast yeah well so he hit a rock up here and it looks like it forced the steering one way he popped the tire he already swapped the tire the steering will not turn no matter what you do the steering will not oh no so we forgot the keys and by we forgot I mean I forgot Mike mentioned it to me and I said oh I've got to grab those out of the Dodge and I walked over towards the Dodge and I don't remember what distracted me there was a small squirrel there was a squirrel moment we are kind of squirrel moments let's let's do a measurement of wit where we're gonna land where we're gonna be okay let's get a game plan all right so here's my idea after we realized the mistake that we made um I'm thinking I'll pull forward we use Trail Mater to pick it up okay we will set the skids under the back tires okay then we'll use the rear winch to pull it onto the trailer okay okay and then when it gets up to right here to where we need the front to go on we will figure that out yeah we'll take that one step at a time is she moving uh not very easily yeah I'm gonna go with that parking brake is set it's starting to work [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay Mike we're on the downhill slope I like the sound of that [Applause] okay it's touching right now yeah just barely I just just came down on it okay perfect hello hello what's up I'm gonna need you to jump in the truck okay air the bags up yep hold the brake okay I'm gonna have you slowly yeah slowly let it come on but we want to keep you away from the grill okay so we're gonna kind of coordinate everything I'm gonna be running you just run the truck and I will get another camera going okay yeah let's do that [Music] okay I need to turn passenger [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] we did it it is on there I'm proud of nothing [Laughter] got it [Music] hey what are you doing here where have you been oh over there I've seen your smoke signal so I was coming to rescue you guys heck yeah but then I guess you guys figure it all out yeah yeah I'll just pull over hang on a second we wouldn't just go over here and like Shawn dude he got time yeah if you're not busy he's out of the Dodge that we talked about I've seen you guys smoke and then I forgot keys so I was just like well yeah you do this he's like oh Rory's in trouble we must run yeah so we got it on the trailer it was a bit of a nightmare but the problem is is it was going to be a nightmare no matter what even if we had the keys it was going to be a nightmare because the front tires don't turn don't Point don't nothing and if they do roll it was actually kind of nice that they were stationary because then they'd slide if they had rolled then they would have been rolling the wrong direction you know what I mean it's strapped down we don't have enough we've got tongue weight but we're not putting enough weight on the back tires that I don't really feel comfortable going up Schaefer with this load so we're going to continue out through potash um at Creek Crossing and everything a little rougher on the trailer but I think safety Wise It's a wise decision and then like I said something Sean appeared Sean Sean uh yeah appeared it's like a mirage you bring us any snacks I got water you don't order that's not a snake that's gross you know the fish doing well yeah everything is everything we're just dead horse point right there so we're gonna go right below that out what I just said a long ways [Music] [Music] now we're going to try and Scoot the truck forward just a bit more mostly because I don't want to go down five hot ass road goes that way Shaffer Trail straight ahead [Music] bingo that's just maybe I don't know that's the problem is when you use it it quits being sharp right that was that one's a little sharper I think this was uh Christmas Yeah Christmas gift when was that we got these in the lights the flashlights gotcha this is such an old winch line thank you how does that look man that's better I feel way more better about that way more better I got a little more tongue weight which helps a lot with everything plug it back in so we go we're back down to Midway we're doing fine we're never hot you grab that can Sean thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] all right we are up to the top of Schaefer we stopped with the Overlook back there let everything cool down looking good on this the heater disconnected again we're way down on the dim gauge so all is good now that we're moving a little faster get some air across that radiator all right Sean's got the keys unload this vehicle okay go ahead and jump in it Mike and air the bags up yep all right Jay Sean put off the brake push the teeth easy forward yeah a lot of Rollies okay hold there hold there okay I'll be ready on the break foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] Victory like a tablecloth yeah sounds good [Music] all right go ahead that shutter off lever in new Trail weakness look at that you can fit between the lift [Applause] foreign [Laughter] it just pushes up you may recall we had this horrible squeak that was in a bunch of bunch of videos because we couldn't figure out where it was coming from and it's right here this joint is the source of the problem so I put in a new grease zerk but it's still not taking the grease so we're gonna take it apart and uh get it all patched up so I got it out of the truck turns out it looks like it has pheromona grease in it got it all loosened up this is what it looks like inside is that there's two halves looks like there's some grease in there anyways take it apart clean it up grease it up that'll be that so I kind of forgot that I was filming and um well here it is I greased up that situation I got this joint up there all greased up I even took these apart back here and put grease in them and got some new fittings and got them all working good so hopefully there shouldn't be too many more squeaks so it's got a little wobbly wobbly in here Mike over here Mike the Mechanic how dare you speak of me in such terms you all like the color brown I think I think new hubs with some new O-rings Mike benefit that we'll keep some of the water away from the critical bits yeah it's got lots of excess like no no it shouldn't be an option yeah I gotta pick up all those things and put it back in that thing to put back on this thing [Laughter] so now [Laughter] take it all apart [Music] keeping this from heading to the floor thank you how much stuff in there doing there's grease greasy tanks no no that's not what I said so when you do bearings and seals on this side Mikey just done those recently on the other side and they still look good we ordered new hubs these are the Yukon hardcore hubs these are the only hubs that I can make last on this truck they're the only ones that will hold up everything else explodes within months or in g2's case minutes these have also been through hell in the last two years um between multiple bearing failures and multiple o-ring failures where water has gotten in there they put in a good fight so what we're going to do is we'll put those together and assemble them throw them in a Ziploc bag and put them up top to replace our our other backup Hub so we'll have a backup of one of those so should we ever need a hub or someone on the trail needs a hub or whatever we have a hub brand new hubs all right boom brand new hubs on a brand new lift and things [Laughter] be weird if we did stop making it weird oh look at where they go they go
