- Today were taking a break to go wheeling with my dad at sand hollow while he tests out his newly built rear suspension on the Banana. After that we take the long way back to the shop using the infamous Arizona Strip that takes us nearly 7 hours and over 130 miles of dirt roads to get back to the shop.

Rudy that structure is an old bunk house. They used them on cattle drives to get out of bad weather and hold up until the storm passed. God bless
For goodness sakes. Go to harbor freight and get the lug nut socket kit, breaker bar, and a short extension. Put them in the rig. Once the loosen like that the rim, studs, and nuts should be replaced. Keep it safe.
@@DerekL2005 except Matt actually carries a tire iron when he has to change a tire. He may not bring a spare tire but atleast iv never seen Matt tighten a tire with a CRESCENT wrench.
Yea not sure how you would go anywhere without a tire iron or lug wrench. It’s in every car from the factory for a reason. I don’t go on highway or anywhere without lug wrenches
Sorry Rudy I gotta agree with those who can't believe you would leave home so ill prepared.
Keep us in the loop for the mystery of the loosening lugnuts. We wait with baited breath!
@@anotherdave5107 the damage was 1 loose and none torqued. It will wallow out the aluminum rim hint the shavings. The lug holes are rounded out. The remaining studs get extra stress on the threads. Replace nuts studs and rim. The rim is not even safe as a spare.
hey, Rudy! ... watch out for that rut/snake/fan/lug nut/shade/collapsing building!
(Rudy) ... "No worries! I have an adjustable wrench, zip ties, my dog and my girlfriend!"
thanks for taking us along for the ride! great adventure.
You forgot to add to Rudy's comment: "What could go wrong?"
The pocket knife was also a key tool in this episode.
lol
not to mention a pocket knife. heh
...so hey let's play with that rattle snake! Hope you at least had cell service out there🤣🤣🤣 Fun video though
Rudy & Janelle: so awesome you get to be on this journey together...and staying cool during stress times or could be...thank you for taking us with you.
LOL 👍
Janelle rocks. Rattle, rattle, what dould it be? A snake, loose radiator fan, wheel lug nuts? Reminder for trail pre-checks, tools, spares. Beautiful sun shade.
I get it Rudy, I used to have an aversion to asphalt, too. 3 days in the backcountry of Canyonlands back in the 80's, after coming up out of Bobby's Hole, I was not thrilled with the fact that we had to drive on asphalt again. And I sure do miss exploring in the deserts. Was so fun to come upon old dwellings and cemeteries in southern Arizona on the backroads in our '77 CJ7. We had that jeep for 33 years. Sure do miss those days!
go rent a jeep and go on adventure you're never too old
What a great video: docile rattlesnake, old settlements, nobody else around, awesome eroded landscape. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for releasing that beautiful snake, he has a right to live in a beautiful area too.
I’m in Vegas. Not sure if that is Mojave Green territory, but that could have been insanely deadly. They have neurotoxic venom, unlike other rattlesnakes. If you don’t know the difference, don’t play with death. Wrong anti venom in the hospital, and you still die. That was a little snake with mature rattle, so could have been a green💀
Good morning I am proud of Janelle she did really well driving up that obstacle in my opinion you should let her drive more often.
This video definitely proves why you and Hollie should do the Off road adventure because you showed how you can adapt with with what you have.
To be fair Rudy you have a used 4.0 and the banana has a golen stroker.
I was going to say the same thing. 😅
always bring tools my dude. Tekton makes a killer set for not much. I keep it in my TJ all the time.
Even I as a city dweller have a toolbox with most tools to do close to everything in my sedan.
Better have and not need than need and not have!
@@sthenzel The back of van is a little tool shop
I always carry 70 pounds of tools and spare parts for trails. Without that I'd be scarrred😆
Only have one word for this kind of video: MORE!
It's still early in the season and your little snakey friend was likely getting some sun to warm up. In another month your encounter may have been a little more exciting! Glad it all turned out OK all around though!
Like father like son! Thats why we watch. Thanks for entertaining us!
Rudy my man! Next time you pick up a rattlesnake consider how far you are from help. I was just reading two separate stories the other day of two young healthy men that got bit by rattlesnakes. They both got to the hospital within 20 minutes and they both died. That doesn’t always happen but being as far out as you are definitely increases the chances for a bad ending.
My feelings exactly. Immaturity
@@jimepperson2075 Life is full of risks. If it's something you really want to do, and the opportunity is rare, sometimes you have to take it. He was pretty careful overall. 1 in 600 bites result in death, and 1/3 of bites don't even inject venom....so coupled with being careful not to get bitten - this is probably less dangerous than loos lug nuts :)
Great video Rudy. I admire Janelle's patience.
Thanks for the non intrusive Ad I actually watched it cause it felt like part of the video, not a jump cut to you back at your shop talking about a sponsor. I wish I could give a extra like just for that. It doesn't go unnoticed.
Rudy can rebuild the world with an adjustable wrench. It's all he needs! Great video! You 2 are building great memories! Thanks for taking us along!
Till it falls apart 1 mile down the road! 🤕
I have done some admittedly sketchy things in my time... but one of them has never been going on an off road adventure without a tire iron. That's pretty epic TBH. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I have picked up a few rattlesnakes but only Massasauga, hope I spelled that right. Don't know what breed that was but he was a lot less angry about being picked up than any I've ever handled. Good job, I say that because not getting bit makes it so.
Rudy carry a jack to tighten the lugs with wheel unloaded because you may have (probably did) stripped the threads. but looks like you had a good adventure. ✌ respect.
Need more trail videos with your two 👍🏼 God Bless and see ya on the next one
What a great drive. Thank you for posting, I miss Utah/Arizona with all the trails and watching these videos is my fix.
Sincerely,
"Stuck-in-Northeast"
The lug bolt was shown missing at 7:15. As a teen I used to catch all types of snakes for fun. That rattler appeared to have 11 rattles and button - it’s an old fellow. I keep a tool kit in all 3 vehicles even though I live in the suburbs and rarely get off road or need the tools.
The snake scene was crazy! That was the most chill rattle snake I've ever seen in my life. Growing up in Lake Elsinore in the 70's we would kill 8 footers with a shovel every day. But the little ones were the ones that gotcha!!
I think the mechanic comment is hilarious considering you only had a 20 inch knuckle buster with you to tighten up lug nuts and zip ties is every man best friend great vidg
I love this video. Glad you let the snake go and that you had a safe experience with it; good job.
Should have chopped its head off
I didn’t know you had a channel! Just binging on your dads and Paul’s and this video came up! This is great! Anyone else have their own??
Not lost
Just Exploring Right Rudy
replace all the studs with harder studs for sure. If one broke the others are not far behind. Carry you a 4 way at least and some extra lug nuts. The first road hole you had to back out if prob stressed the studs. Once stressed they will continue to flex and stretch.
I like that even with all the problems youre still having a good time and fun adventure
He's pretty secure in the knowledge that even if his car turned to dust around him he'd be able to call for help.
Not on the Arizona strip, there is no cellphone service for miles
@@Rudysadventureanddesignreal then... you told people where you were going and roughly how long you expected to be?
Wonder how much a satellite phone would cost, seems like it would come in handy.
@@dljones61 I was wondering about radio, I know the MORR team have been investing in radios recently, but I don't think the kind they've been getting has the range to be helpful. A satellite phone can be around the cost of a regular cell phone, it would probably feel like a waste of money until you actually need it. Depends how often you go out into the boonies
Great adventure, thanks for taking ud along.
Glad you made it out alive both of you.
You are a brave soul Rudy... I would love to photograph the snakes.. but from a safe distance 🙂
10:46 I’ve never seen a grown man with a beard get a whooping by his momma, so make sure you film it when you’re mom finds out about the rattlesnake adventure.
🤪🤣😂
Awesome video, there is a lot to be said about taking the back roads. Always an adventure. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Great video guys....thanks for taking us along !!!.... excellent cam work and editing as well
Good looking Great Basin Rattler.
I don't subscribe and follow much anyone but how you interacted with local wildlife, got my respect. Hell of an ambassador for wheelers and video proof that we aren't out trying to destroy wildlife and their habitat.
Also the fact you turned around instead of cutting a "new road" on that wash out.
Nice. Janelle is really getting more comfortable with you always choosing the roughest way to get things done. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
I used to love just going for the adventure when I lived in hurricane .so thank you for taking us on that trip 😊
Not much going on. Nice. Thanks for taking us along.
😃🚙
Great adventure, I'm glad you made it back. 👍
what a rad trip!! the tech issues were just minor hiccups for you Rudy! So rad you got to hold that snake. Thank you for letting it go safely.
We've rebuilt quite a few old barns falling over like that. It's super easy. You can just winch it back up straight or push it with a forklift, brace things up and replace a few boards here and there and get it structurally solid again; and then we typically put new sheet metal all on the outside and roof and then it's like a new building. And you would never know that it was almost falling over into a pile of splinters.
I've been out to Mt Trumbull Schoolhouse with TrailRecon. We continued south to the Bar 10 Ranch and on down to Whitmore Point to overlook the Colorado River.
I love those types of trips, long way to enjoy the area. Glad you made it back!
Love the Adventure! You should do more of these!
Thank you for sharing your contact with us I truly appreciate it I watch every one of your videos I try to like and comment on each of them I will be looking forward to your next video
Thank God you made it back
Awesome video. Beautiful views. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
With your fab skills, I'll bet you could create a retractable or rollup shade that mounts on a rigs top. That would be pretty cool!! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
Use a window round roller shad /w that springy tingy and mount the shelf liner to it .
Really enjoyed this vid. Thanks for sharing it with us
Rudy, I was having issues with my fuel system on my Dodge Diesel, so I went to Harbor Freight and got me a tool kit. It is in a flat molded plastic case, and it has a little bit of everything, and the cost was under $40. A plus too that tool kit, is, that it does not rattle. I always go with the adage, "It is always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
I am sure that you will add something in the way of tools to your Rudicon. Hind sight is always 20/20. I am glad that you and Jenelle found each other, and that she likes to do what you like to do.
Nice video Rudy. By the way, I am that guy with the off-road T Bucket that you showed how to find Paul.
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip with you two!
That was great, you always come across as very authentic.
Glad you're both home safe. Really like the idea for shelf liner shade. Makes me wonder if you can find larger sheets of the stuff.
RAD BRAND JEEP SHADE SOFT TOP
Great video. Reminded me of the channel Camo Adventures. I love exploring old desert buildings and structures and trying to figure out their purpose. I hate seeing them vandalized.
Nice to see y’all having fun!!!!!
Thanks for showing us the roadside attractions of Utah. Including Rudy's Reptile Ranch and the Crescent brand multi-tool lug wrench!
Just like your dad, never get riled up, just goes with the flow. But not even having a lug wrench or spare impact!! Vehicle maintenance Rudy!
That was cool.....it's not an adventure if you eliminate all the risks....and you're not an adventurer if you can't rise to the occasion. Loved it...and the OnX overview was helpful.
Really cool seeing old structures in the middle of nowhere
Pleased you went that way great views and stiil on four wheels thanks
Janelle did a great job on the rock crawling, need to let her do more of that.
D Backs are Excellent for Rodent control .Thanks for sharing .
Loved the rattle snake! I caught one a few years back I understand the rush it's crazy 😂 dumb but fun and like you said not suggested. Y'all have a good time keep up the content 🤙🏻
Thanks for another great video. Love y'alls channel.
Brilliant to watch loads of fun
That was fun. Thanks
diamond back ,, a older one what else is on ur bucket list Rudy ??? i THINK that ALL of ur fans would enjoy hearing about them in detail😊
At 7:13 missing lug can be seen...you are in touch with the machine, because you hear and feel anything that is not right. It is not being paranoid, but in tune.
Good video Rudy and jenelle Beautiful trail
Ut a push fan in front of the radiator, and keep a pull fan in the normal spot for extra cooling when needed. I did that when I wheeled in the South Carolina mud and it worked great for slow speed wheeling.
Love your videos but would really really like to see something on your channel get completed... Your brothers truck, the Rudycon, The snow tracks....
Garmin InReach Mini is relatively cheap, and so is the monthly subscription. Connects to your phone and lets you text from anywhere in the world, and can be an emergency SOS. Well worth carrying, especially if you're going to be messing with rattle snakes while miles outside cellphone range.
drone rolling shots are great!
I had a wild caught Western diamond back rattlesnake as a pet for a lil while. One night I decided to reach in the tank and scoop him up. He S-ed up like he was going to strike. He didn't. And he was slithering through my hands. It was wild.
As an Aussie, I really appreciate seeing maps of where you guys are at.
As European😄 me too😄
Quality production.
👍 That was interesting content. Thanks for sharing 😊.
At least you had a Cresent Wrench
That was awesome fun, even though you2 had some problems with the cooling, you handled it well, hmm tire coming loose, where's your T_bar.
Great video thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸
Awesome Recovery
She's a brave woman you have there.
Cool video! Thanks for the trip out across the Arizona Strip; might do it next we are out that way!
I like the sun screen. Looks like it works good!
Wow on the snake wrangling Rudy respect!
I bought one of those sunshades made for a JK and it has worked out very well for me on my hybrid caged XJ
Always, ALWAYS carry a battery impact gun with you. It's very handy for loose lug nuts! Not to mention many other uses
That off road drive was great. Sorry about the issues. But it was very educational. Feel free to do that again. please take a couple of tools with you. God Bless.
Solo buena la aventura, buen video Rudy saludos desde Costa Rica
Great video and good on you for checking off a bucket list item. BTW, some maintenance on the Rudicon might help.....
Very scenic and entertaining video. I am going to watch you more and review your old videos. I spent my summers up in SKYHAVEN down from Strawberry Ridge.
Just an enjoyable day wandering the back roads! But Dude, put a proper lug wrench in that Jeep!
It is the AZ Strip which caused me to carry everything I needed to change the tire, extra fuel, and coolant/oil It is also why I ended up with a kicker on my SB. Not that that trip (which I have done) was anywhere near radio range 15 years ago.
I call only search and rescue once!
I'm impressed Rudy. One of my life goals also!!
Nice job trailing girl !
Great drone footage. 😊👍
Janelle is a sweetheart! I used to love to take the backroads but would have been in trouble because I still don't have any kind of tools in my car. I'm 70, so I blame it on that. I keep forgetting. LOL
6 years ago I running my garbage route and stopped and picked up a baby timber rattle snake and moved it out of the road my helpers said I was crazy great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
Rudy, you and Janelle are fun to watch! Thank you for sharing :)
XJ tool kit- knife and a crescent wrench, that’s all you need. I believe that tool kit came from the dealership in the glove box.
