SNAKE EYES : A Fateful Trip Across the Fordyce Jeep Trail

[wayoflife]

Epic, indeed!!! Absolutely amazing video -- Thanks for sharing!!!!

We're so glad you liked it. Thank you.

Great video as always. Some deep water, good thing for drain plugs.

Seriously! If we didn't have drain plugs and as many as come on a Jeep, it would have sucked for sure. Glad you liked the film.

In the usual fashion you have once again amazed in another brilliant video! Well done!

Thank you, we really appreciate it.

That was a great video. It reminds me of some of the earlier vids that got me into jeeping. Lisa said we need to go on another camping trip with everyone. Hopefully soon... Thanks for another great vid. Keep up the great work!

LOL!! Well, I hope it reminds you of our earlier work only in the sense that the trip was more about good friends getting out and having a good time and not because it looks like we were still learning and refining what we do. :crazyeyes: Definitely need to get out with two again and soon.

Great video! and thanks for getting me a great start to the week! Giving me the itches to go out and wheel ASAP! Now added to the }"to get" list is fire extinguishers and a snorkel haha

Definitely NEED to get yourself a good fire extinguisher and if at all possible TWO of them. One BC for engine fires and an ABC for general fires. I can't tell you how many times we've needed to break out a fire extinguisher on the trail over the years. It really is a MUST HAVE piece of equipment.

Gathered the wife and kids and watched on the big screen like we have the last few vids. This one didn't disappoint!!![emoji106][emoji16][emoji2] You know you're doing something right when both kids can sit with eyes glued to the screen for the entire vid. Well done, again, Cindy and Eddie.

So the next one comings out next weekend right. [emoji6][emoji23][emoji23]lol.

Thanks Jason, we're so glad that you and the family enjoyed it.

Great video as always!!! Glad everyone made it out ok

Awesome!:rock:

Loved the video. Looks like a fun trail.

great trail,, great adventure,,, great video:beer::thumb:

Thanks guys, we just hope we can help share some of our experiences and in a way that make you feel like you were there with us. :yup:

Once again Eddie and Cindy you've outdone yourselves. I think it's one of your best videos yet. Thank you

Thanks Dean, we really do appreciate it.

See I knew you were not going to Disappoint, People love Adventures and CARNAGE lol as long as it not their Carnage. Great Video and I can't wait for more Video's.

 

[HoosierWolf]

Love it! I think this is one of my favorites. Hope to watch it again on my TV tomorrow. :clap2:

Holy crap, how many followers just went out and bought a box of Damp Rid and a fire extinguisher?

It's fun to live vicariously through your epic adventures. As I head back to Florida (where trails are dull and flat) I look forward to opening my garage and finding within it my 2008 (picnic) Jeep. Lifted enough to pass the occasional fallen tree or climb the curb to avoid traffic. It will never see the adventure ( or torture ) shown in these films. It's still under bumper to bumper, zero deductible extended factory warranty and I get pissy after a day of new pinstripes from riding trails in the local national forests.

I am just amazed how unfazed your groups are by the trails ahead of you and the damage they cause. By the time I fill my Jeep with beer, food, and toss in a hammock, I don't have room for cranes, welders, hard hats. hoists, spare motors, drivetrain, and an auto shop full of tools ... and a dog. Just amazing. Off-road Evolution seems like he almost had fun on this one ... (he's never fazed).

Cudos and thanks for yet another beautifully produced epic adventure. Very well done and very exciting to watch. Too bad there wasn't another sixty minutes.

All this from a beat up old CRX? Wow ...

LOL!! We're glad to hear you feel as if you can live vicariously through our epic adventures as that's one of our main goals in making films like this.

Please DO get a fire extinguisher as soon as you can as we have seen Jeeps burn to the ground on pavement before. You just never know and a small investment can go a long way.

Another great video. Tried to hold off watching it on my phone until I got home, but couldn't.

Glad to hear you were still able to enjoy it on your phone.

You guys have done it again, another incredible film to keep me inspired. Thank you for doing what you do.

Thank you! I always enjoy seeing the kinds of things you guys do. Keep up the good work, and good fun too.

Enjoyed the video as always! Seemed like another epic wayalife trip.

Thank you, we're really happy to know so many of you enjoyed it. :yup:

I aways look forward to you're videos. It makes me want to hit the trail right after i finish watch them. Keep up the good work.

Good! That's what we hope our films do, make you want to get out and play

Thanks for sharing. Always love to watch your movies.

Cheers Pete

Thanks Pete, we're always glad to see that people from around the world are watching our films.

I have never seen anything on this trail thanks for a great film!:clap2:

Yeah, unless you're from the area, Fordyce is a trail that doesn't get the kind of attention that it really deserves. But, in a way, we're kind of glad for that

Another great video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you.

This was pretty awesome! Really shows how people do come together to work through even the biggest obstacles.. Good job guys

And, in so many ways, that's really what makes the Jeep WAYALIFE so much fun - the people you get to go out with and struggle together with. Glad you liked it.

Another great video!! I couldn't wait so I watched it on my phone but I'll have to watch it again on the TV when I get a chance.

LOL!! We're glad that you liked it enough to want to watch it again

Another awesome vid! Thanks for providing all of us with many hours of entertainment over the years!

 

[wayoflife]

Thanks very much. Most enjoyable. You guys have some beautiful country up there to play in. :thumb:

Thank you. We're glad to see that our friends down under can enjoy our films too

Awesome video! Makes the "need" for a snorkel a reality! Like always, Amazing work Team!

:cheesy: Oh yeah, definitely "needed" :crazyeyes:

Thank you Cindy & Eddie !

Fantastic video and what i've learned from it is that Fordyce is like a mystery trail, you never know what you're going to get at the end of the day.

As some like to call it, 4-Dice. You roll them every time you run it and for us, we came up with SNAKE EYES :crazyeyes:

Video turned out great. Thanks Eddie and Cindy for continuing to put in the work to make these videos happen. Always a pleasure to watch.

Video turned out awesome Guys! Eddie, Cindy, you guys ROCK! :thumb:

Than you, we're so glad that you liked what you saw.

Awesome video! Truly tremendous! So, I try to learn something from every video...so how does one avoid frying their winch battery cable? What causes that?

There's a couple of things that went on here. #1, you really need to make sure that your positive battery cable is routed in a way that it does NOT make any contact with anything that could chafe through the insulation. #2, you need to realize that the cable gets really hot with a lot of use. This will make the insulation soft and that will make it easy for anything sharp to penetrate through it. Once grounded, you get what you saw in this film.

another great video Eddie! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!

Man a car fire is something that really scares me. what is the reason Jeff's rig caught fire, and what are some things to prevent this?

See my response above. Of course, that only takes care of something like a winch lead. Most of the fires we've seen had more to do with ATF puking out onto the cats and exhaust after getting too hot. Ultimately, you should always carry a fire extinguisher and know how to use it. If you can carry 2 of them, get a BC and an ABC.

Awesome video like always.. I haven't had a chance to make it there yet but now I know I might need a snorkel Lol

LOL!! So long as you don't blow through the water, you really DON'T need a snorkel as you can clearly see in our film

Great editing, I had never heard of this trail. But if I ever get out to the West Coast it is really one that I would like to give a try.

And a welder? I've never thought of packing a welder, was that an instance where you knew it was close to going out. Or is that seriously just part of your normal trail gear?

Any who great video.

Yeah, on trails like this, we carry a welder as a part of standard equipment. We end up using it more than you'd think if only to help others we encounter on the trail and in need of one.

Video was great, just like the others I have watched time and time again. The jeeps that appear in all the videos are incredible machines and make the most difficult trails look tolerable. Hard to imagine a jeep with 40 inch tires crossing that much water. Can't wait for the next adventure video.

Can you imagine what crossing the creek would be like when the flood gates are open? This happens all the time and when it does, guys are literally stranded in between the crossings until PG&E shut them off :crazyeyes:

Might be a good idea to add another layer of split wire loom for added protection :shock:

 

[Oldvolks]

It was a great video, nice to see like minded folks having a good time doing the things they enjoy and helping out when the need arises!!!!

 

[sitruc]

What an EPIC adventure! Great video as usual, you and Cindy ROCK!! :thumb::thumb:

 

[wayoflife]

See I knew you were not going to Disappoint, People love Adventures and CARNAGE lol as long as it not their Carnage. Great Video and I can't wait for more Video's.

LOL!! Indeed they do. When we work on a film like this, we literally see the same thing over and over and over again and by the time it's done, we're never sure if it's any good or how it'll be received. By then, it's hard to look at it in anyway but critically. Glad to hear you and others liked it. :crazyeyes:

Love it! I think this is one of my favorites. Hope to watch it again on my TV tomorrow. :clap2:

Glad to hear you enjoyed it enough to want to see it again. Thank you.

It's our pleasure and we're glad that you enjoyed it.

In places where there might be an issue, yeah, I could see adding more protection would be a smart thing to do.

It was a great video, nice to see like minded folks having a good time doing the things they enjoy and helping out when the need arises!!!!

That is what makes a trip like this so much fun :yup:

What an EPIC adventure! Great video as usual, you and Cindy ROCK!! :thumb::thumb:

Thank you. It really was an EPIC adventure and one we were able to share with you.

[Speedy_RCW]

And that's why fire extinguishers are important! Looks like a very memorable trip. Thanks for posting this up.

 

[mtt]

Well that was a great way to start the week! Great vid! keep them coming!

 

[dwilkening]

Great video. Glad to see the fire wasn't any worse. His extinguisher saved his Jeep.

 

[Tiki Dave]

I SO LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS.
Makes me want to move out west and join in the fun.

Absolutely! Fire extinguishers are a must!

Well that was a great way to start the week! Great vid! keep them coming!

You know we will keep them coming

Great video. Glad to see the fire wasn't any worse. His extinguisher saved his Jeep.

It really did and it's why EVERYONE should be carrying at least one.

I SO LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS.

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoy our films. :yup:

 

[gtony12]

Awesome video Eddie & Cindy, love seeing new ones can wait to see more!!! Great job!!!!!!

 

[MikieJonFL]

Thanks for another great video

Thanks Ed & Cindy for all the hard work you put into these videos for us to enjoy.

How long was this sitting on the shelf between filming and publishing? Moby was sporting CA plates instead of Nevada and it also looks like it was shot before Mel lost all that weight before the 2015 JKX rides. He's lost a bunch of weight I hope he's doing OK..

Mikie..

 

[Recurve]

Just got done watching the video! Really good, about had a tear well up in my eye towards the end haha.
Also the shot with the whole valley in the background when you guys are climbing the rocks is just perfect.
Look forward to more videos , thanks!

 

[Sudz]

Good Times. I bet you guys were exhausted after that one.
