The Truth About Driving Your Jeep Off-Road Across the Country · Jeep Talk Show

0:00
My question that I had thought would be a
0:02
conversation. What is the longest trip
0:03
you have taken in your
0:05
Jeep without towing it?
0:08
Where was it? How far and did you have
0:10
any issues? Well, I guess John
0:13
Towed his what drove it
0:14
one way but had it towed back
0:17
Well, that would be an issue. No, that
0:19
was only that was only during the end of
0:21
the Arizona trip last year in
0:24
September I drove it all the way to Moab
0:26
wheeled it and then
0:26
drove it all the way home
0:28
So I think I'm not quite as far as brick
0:30
is but I have driven mine to Moab
0:33
We don't come back which was a lot of us
0:36
probably have was getting a tow rig is
0:38
not exactly a cheap endeavor
0:40
So how many miles is that for you?
0:42
Probably say for anybody that isn't aware
0:44
John's in the Austin,
0:46
Texas greater area. Yeah
0:50
So how many miles was that
0:51
for you John? Oh, yes, Gemini
0:54
I'm pretty sure somewhere up 3,000 was in
0:58
the last double. What?
1:00
No, she's old for it. I
1:03
drove mine from Wisconsin to
1:05
Arizona and
1:08
Then back home
1:10
You said Sedona
1:12
Yeah, no, we also don't know no issues
1:15
with you at all. How long were you going
1:16
for on that trip Roger?
1:18
I think it might have been two weeks
1:21
because we took my son
1:22
down for college. Oh, okay
1:23
I know that road. Yeah, that's pretty
1:26
much what we totally went. We went to
1:28
actually I think we went there or
1:30
Utah first because we took him and his
1:33
girlfriend with and went to Utah first
1:35
then went down there
1:35
His owner dropped him off and they came
1:37
home. So now you told
1:38
regularly obviously out to
1:40
Ejs the stuff. Do you will it differently
1:42
knowing that you gotta drive it home? No
1:45
No, no
1:47
I
1:48
I've always I've always believed that I
1:49
would not I would never let the the idea
1:52
that I have to drive my vehicle home
1:53
It's limit what I'm willing to do because
1:56
there's plenty of shops and especially
1:57
for EJS when you got you know
1:59
The good year tent there or to be a G 10.
2:02
I could hear what BFG though. I mean
2:04
It can be fixed. Nobody
2:06
hears you. Is that right?
2:10
Don't worry much you on your your trip
2:12
So you had any concerns about having
2:13
drive at home or did you have bill
2:14
there's your safety net?
2:15
There's trailer. No, no, no as we go on
2:18
overland trips to
2:19
where we're both driving
2:21
There is no chair wearing at all and kind
2:23
of running across. So I mean I I
2:26
Don't hammer down and drive like Rick
2:29
Necessarily
2:30
I I do I kind of drive
2:34
normal, but I'm normally a
2:35
I
2:37
Want to say?
2:38
Distression is a better part of valor
2:40
kind of person like you won't shame me
2:42
into taking an obstacle, right?
2:43
I'll just tell you I don't care
2:45
but the
2:48
The the goal is to
2:49
challenge myself, right regardless
2:50
So I am gonna you know, I do want to go
2:53
tackling the trails
2:54
and do as much as I can
2:55
But I am also I'm also a realist
2:58
but I've also come down the trail and
2:59
here in Rick spend all morning telling us
3:01
how he has to drive his
3:03
TJ home and come down around the corner
3:05
of a trail and see him near 90 degrees
3:07
vertical like smoking all four tires
3:12
So any special prep you did jump for that
3:20
trip besides your normal anything you
3:22
bought additional equipment or
3:24
Yeah, so for the Moab trip not really I
3:29
mean, I think there's a
3:32
Just the things you need for wheeling and
3:34
make sure you have
3:34
recovery gears about that
3:35
The only thing I did take with Moab that
3:38
normally don't take them
3:38
I'm just popping out to the theme to the
3:41
park, which I I now always take is fluids
3:45
No, man had spare parts about that that
3:46
you know, just bring in a
3:47
quarter gear oil bring in a
3:50
Small bit to give him a
3:51
little small thing break fluid
3:54
just to just to have and then a little
3:57
bit of silicone gasket maker
3:59
and it's you kind of thing so
4:01
So like that I carried now
4:04
That's you know, you're
4:05
gonna be out and about
4:07
No, other than that nothing special for a
4:09
long trip versus just
4:10
kind of another train. Oh
4:14
So Rick you just did the Rubicon was that
4:16
your longest trip to date with the micro
4:17
Jeep? Um, yeah, it was
4:21
Yeah, that would be the longest one from
4:24
Northeast Arkansas to Silverton, Colorado
4:27
first and then from Silverton to Salt
4:29
Lake and then from Salt Lake over to
4:32
Georgetown and then from Georgetown to
4:35
the Rubicon then from the Rubicon to Ford
4:37
ice trail and then after
4:40
flopping it on the Ford ice trail driving
4:42
another hour and a half through the rocks
4:44
to get to the end of the Ford ice
4:45
trail then three and a half hours around
4:48
the mountain and
4:50
rounding over the mountain to
4:52
Start Barrett Lake and then we wheeled
4:54
all the way into Barrett
4:55
Lake and then and then yeah
4:58
Make sure everybody knows what the micro
5:00
Jeep is because I think that's
5:03
That's kind of impressive. It's not a JK
5:06
or a jail that that brings to my point
5:08
So you got that TJ, but it's never been
5:10
the same configuration on
5:12
each of your trips has it
5:16
It it goes through it goes through some
5:19
changes here and there but
5:22
This what's the average time on the last
5:25
bolt torque to rolling out for the trip?
5:30
five minutes about four to six
5:32
I gotta have some time to rest before
5:36
But yeah this time was
5:44
You know because I you know, I mean a
5:47
double triangulated rear
5:49
Three link front no sway bars didn't have
5:52
time to even mess with that
5:56
Cool overs two and a half inch
5:59
Bilstein coilovers and
6:01
38 inch
6:03
wraps
6:06
For 88 gears in the axles and
6:09
You know, it's a five speed and then no
6:12
cruise. No, no fancy anything like that
6:16
I
6:17
Radio that work
6:19
Yeah
6:20
Well, yeah and and right before
6:23
Let's see somewhere in there. I pulled a
6:25
wire trying that I was trying
6:26
to stretch a wire over to my
6:28
To my iPad. It's not an iPad. It's a
6:31
tablet to my tablet and one and I thought
6:34
oh I got extra wire back there
6:35
I remember having it loop back there
6:37
So I like kind of pulled it up as I was
6:39
pulling it up the whole dash and
6:42
everything went dead
6:44
What's like what the
6:46
So somewhere in there I pulled a wire and
6:48
and and I was able to get
6:50
everything else to come back on
6:51
But I didn't have my
6:52
radio or anything like that
6:54
That's the nice thing about the TJ's you
6:56
blow up something you don't
6:57
affect every area system, right?
6:59
All right. So and then I put a I'd put a
7:03
soft top or a bowl of soft
7:05
talk on it for that trip because I
7:08
Because I was I took
7:10
my passenger seat out
7:11
I was also sleeping in the TJ when we're
7:13
camping and so that's
7:15
that's how I did that
7:16
I just basically though the soft top was
7:19
my tent basically and so you drove it
7:22
across this time with the soft top or
7:24
Yes, so this is your first time driving
7:26
distance with soft up. Yeah first time
7:28
distance to soft top
7:29
It was it was a little
7:30
noisy or okay is a lot noisier
7:32
But you know, but I kind of look at it
7:35
like this when you know,
7:36
I used to ride motorcycles
7:38
Everywhere all over the place, you know,
7:41
not not trips that big but
7:43
you know pretty good trips
7:44
You know where you're driving all day for
7:46
days and days in a row and to me
7:51
Even still the driving in the TJ is way
7:54
more bougie than
7:56
riding on a Harley, you know
7:58
Baking in the sun for that long, you
8:00
know, so I think you should still say how
8:02
tall you are to sleep in a TJ
8:05
Well, I'm almost six four I used to be
8:08
six four, but I think
8:09
I've shrunk a little bit
8:11
But in my old age, but I'm
8:12
right right around there about
8:15
245 50 pounds
8:17
Incorrect me on the first trip you were
8:19
sleeping with the fumes from the leaking.
8:22
Yeah take right. Yeah first trip
8:25
Yeah, Alta, Arizona and Moab
8:28
had a
8:30
had a crack in the
8:34
The aluminum or is it luma? I don't know
8:36
what it is. I thought was black. It's
8:37
aluminium. Yeah, what are you manium?
8:40
Whatever that it's some type of metal. I
8:43
think it's a little actually in it
8:45
It's that that nipple thing that comes
8:47
off the pump and it had a crack in it
8:50
And so it was just dripping, you know the
8:51
whole time I'm driving. I kept wonders
8:53
like man. I'm getting
8:54
horrible gas mileage
8:55
I'm only getting 10 normally get 12 and
8:58
a
8:59
huge difference to the TJ
9:01
Yeah, I couldn't figure it out and then I
9:04
kept smelling gas and then and then not I
9:07
wouldn't do this in a state park
9:09
But there are some some government owned
9:13
national forest Park parking lot, but I
9:17
pulled out my
9:19
my pump and
9:21
Swapped it replaced it there in the in a
9:24
parking lot who knows where and it was a
9:26
dead horse state park and
9:28
Arizona if I recall
9:36
And there wasn't it but the thing was
9:39
that there wasn't any gas spillage or
9:41
gas. No, there wasn't
9:43
That that other folks that other folks
9:46
were walking past and I
9:47
was like, oh my goodness
9:48
No, I wouldn't have been and then yeah, I
9:54
mean for me the whole
9:56
jeeping thing is is all about
9:58
the adventure for me
9:59
it's it's it's the it is all about the
10:02
challenge and the adventure of it and
10:04
Throwing my booger welds on it and drive
10:07
across the country and willing it hard
10:08
and coming it back coming back
10:10
I mean to me that's all part of the part
10:12
of the adventure is go meeting a bunch of
10:14
people. I've never met before
10:15
except on the internet
10:18
Like, you know, I've had people ask me
10:19
that you you're gonna go
10:20
what you're gonna go drive
10:22
2,000 miles and meet a bunch of people
10:24
you met on the internet. Yep. That's how
10:26
we do it. That's awesome
10:28
All part of the
10:28
adventure. Oh, thank you for that
10:30
Hey, so Kevin have you had any big road
10:32
trips with the Jeep for off-roading? I
10:34
drove it 35 miles to work and back
10:39
His letter was bad did
10:41
you do curves along the way?
10:43
So in fairness my Jeep
10:45
is an off-road only Jeep
10:47
Like my I don't have any intentions of
10:49
driving my Jeep on the road
10:51
I it wasn't put
10:52
together to drive on the road
10:53
The only time it has been driven on the
10:55
road is because I wanted ice cream
10:57
I'm like the Jeep sale to go to get ice
10:59
cream or pizza in it or
11:01
the weather went to complete
11:03
I was like, well, I need to get to work
11:04
and make money. So there's the Jeep. So
11:07
what's the furthest you
11:08
had to trailer it then?
11:10
First I've trailer
11:12
Probably hot springs which is six and a
11:15
half seven hours and that's just you know
11:17
time off versus how far I can get
11:20
Sure, you're not doing mountain driving
11:21
to get there really do you?
11:23
Not really
11:25
as you get into hot
11:26
springs you get up into
11:28
small mountains and when
11:30
I say small mountains like
11:32
There are nothing compared to the Rockies
11:33
or the Appalachians like
11:34
they're small mountains
11:36
Boston Mountains actually is what they're
11:38
called. Yeah, so like they are mountains,
11:41
but they're very small
11:42
I'm not gonna you
11:43
know hyped them up at all
11:46
but outside of that
11:48
You know one is solely been you know the
11:51
amount of time I have off
11:52
versus how far I can get
11:54
Enjoy myself for the weekend long weekend
11:58
and get back home and
11:59
get back to work. Sure
12:01
So I know Bob has taken a few road trips
12:04
here and there with his Jeep with a
12:05
little red brick as he calls it
12:07
Bob was the furthest road
12:08
trip you've taken in your Jeep
12:10
it either be from Colorado to
12:13
Hidden Falls or
12:15
Colorado Arizona to go down to Sedona and
12:18
Prescott. I'd say your falls has got to
12:21
be farther now you guys
12:23
4.0, right? Yeah, I got 4.0 with or
12:26
without radio your friend clips
12:29
Five out of six ain't bad
12:32
Any major issues on any of these
12:34
excursions with yours get
12:36
their home well getting it there no
12:39
The biggest issue I've had with the
12:41
little red brick is I put a
12:43
Platform box in the bath and
12:45
now I can't recline the seats
12:47
So I can't sleep in it
12:49
when I stopped taking that so
12:53
Interesting now you do have cruise
12:55
control unlike Rick though, right? Oh,
12:57
yeah, I got cruise control
12:58
I never use it. But yeah, I got cruise
13:00
control. Let's see Rick. You don't need
13:01
it. He doesn't use this
13:02
I mean in fairness in
13:05
the seat reclining thing
13:06
I have a harness bar so that I have
13:08
harnesses because I make bad decisions
13:11
So sleeping in mine is not allowed at all
13:14
Hey, the first step is admitting the
13:16
problem. The problem is me. I have no
13:18
problem admitting the problem
13:22
Looks like we have a new name join us say
13:24
Ryan. Are you there? Let's
13:26
see if he comes on mute Tony
13:28
What about you? What's your for the trip
13:30
was a DJS and 24? Yeah
13:32
I haven't been to
13:32
very many things that EJS
13:34
23 and 24 what a what a great trip. Well,
13:39
I better not have to worry about
13:40
overheating like the XJ
13:41
Oh God, yes, it was such a freeing thing
13:45
I've seen you talking about getting the
13:46
XJ like places more lately. Are you
13:49
trying to get it back going? Um,
13:51
Not really. I think that it's it's still
13:53
gonna be an overheating issue
13:55
It's that the problem has never been
13:57
solved but driving
13:58
around locally is fine. Yeah
14:01
Mike what about you? What's she been your
14:03
for this excursion in your Jeep?
14:06
I'm here too much two states away about
14:09
Seven hours was it for wheel interpreter
14:12
just a just a try about somewhere. I
14:15
ever
14:17
See my brother and do a little a little
14:19
bit of whaling out there but now a lot
14:21
No, so no major issues. I know what do
14:23
you have for Jeep at the time? I did
14:25
that. There's no nine
14:28
Jk, I have a 2014 now so
14:31
Well, I can tell you Brian I'm muted
14:36
himself for a second there, please you
14:38
might be willing to talk to you
14:40
Alrighty there. Hey, yeah. Yeah, I'm here
14:43
So where are you from? Where you what do
14:45
you what kind of Jeep you
14:46
got? And then what's the longest?
14:48
off already trip you've
14:49
taken with it. I've got a
14:53
2024 Jeep Rubicon
14:56
For buggy. Okay. I'm
14:58
up in Portland, Oregon
15:01
and
15:03
Longest trip I don't have a few hours. I
15:05
think I don't know
15:06
just freeway driving. Okay
15:08
So yeah, have you had it on the trails
15:10
yet? Yeah, I've had it on the trail. I've
15:12
had it at Brown's camp and
15:17
Jones Creek and I had it up on Mount Hood
15:19
other than that trails now completely
15:21
gone. It got ate up by a
15:24
Forest fire. Oh, that's unfortunate. Yeah
15:28
That's always been on my bucket list to
15:29
get up there in the north what and then
15:31
in the northwest. I've
15:32
never had that opportunity
15:34
North Northwest Northeast is maintained.
15:36
Oh never mind. Never mind.
15:37
Never mind. Never mind. Yeah
15:38
I was when he said Portland I was
15:40
thinking of Portland
15:41
Maine for some reason
15:42
Oregon yeah, never mind West Coast one of
15:47
the show co-hosts that Josh's from there
15:50
No, he's a little auto-wheeling up there.
15:52
Yeah, so you're looking to
15:54
take it on any more big trips, sir
15:56
Yeah, I've been kind of in a
15:58
I've kind of not been able
16:00
to do a whole lot with it
16:02
Because I've been you
16:03
know can't spend money
16:06
But that's coming to an end
16:07
But I finally got a front
16:09
bumper and a winch on it
16:10
So and I got wheels ordered and a bunch
16:13
of other stuff. So so now the important
16:15
question. What color is it?
16:17
It's the anvil gray.
16:19
Hey, that's better rent
16:20
Waiting for the sound
16:23
effects here from Tony
16:25
Awesome
16:25
Not in the near future, but I want to try
16:35
to do moab and Rubicon
16:36
but that's later down I
16:40
Gotta get through the
16:41
training period of my work. So
16:44
All right
16:46
Well, nice thing about moab is you're
16:47
gonna find a trail for any
16:49
type of Jeep whether you know
16:50
Whether it be the stock sport off the off
16:52
the term floor or something like what
16:54
Rick's doing there
16:55
with his little micro Jeep
16:57
Yeah, so just just getting into Hell's
17:00
Revenge can be an adventure. Yeah, I've
17:02
seen the views of that
17:04
The only thing with the four by use I've
17:05
noticed is that when I spot them if the
17:07
if it's running in electric mode is you
17:09
Don't hear when they're spooling up
17:11
Because you can hear a regular engine
17:12
when it's giving power and you
17:13
know what the driver is doing
17:14
But the four by that caught me off guard
17:17
Yeah, when I was when I was spotting
17:18
someone but other than
17:19
that, it's not a big deal
17:22
Yeah, good times. Oh,
17:23
yeah. I love I like the thing
17:25
It's you know, I mean I get I do about
17:28
thirteen hundred miles to a tank of gas
17:30
So I live like right on top of my work
17:33
So I just run into electric all the way
17:35
there and all the way back and
17:36
I only use gas on the weekends
17:39
So now what do you think about the fact
17:40
that they're not making the
17:41
four by use anymore I get why
17:45
They did some really
17:46
poor sourcing of parts and
17:50
mainly the battery
17:51
I don't know everything I've had that
17:54
Samsung has been and
17:56
it's a Samsung battery
17:58
So I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping
18:00
that they would just I
18:02
mean retool it, you know, I
18:06
was
18:07
I'm just kind of surprised too because at
18:08
one point the four bees were like
18:10
outselling all the
18:11
other hybrids out there
18:13
Yeah, a lot of it was with the tax
18:15
advantage the the $75 tax
18:17
credit and that went away
18:19
And then a lot of the electric car sales
18:22
have dropped and then the
18:24
EVs are still hanging in there
18:26
But not as well as they were before that
18:29
Well, that Jeep recalls it seems like
18:31
they were always almost always on the
18:33
four by use for a while
18:35
Yeah, I'm trying to get through an oil
18:36
chains without a recall on
18:38
it, but so far I haven't done it
18:40
So I've had three so far and all three of
18:42
them had a recall hook attached to it
18:45
So but I know it's cool technology. It's
18:48
fast. It's that's the thing
18:51
I mean, I'm I think eight tenths lower
18:54
than a 392 Jeep. I mean
18:56
that's really oh, yeah
18:59
It's it's very fast compared to it's the
19:02
second fastest Jeep they've made
19:04
The torque code curve with anything
19:06
electric is so far beyond anything a
19:11
Internal combustion engine
19:12
could do and that's diesel
19:15
Big truck whatever.
19:17
Yeah, they can I guess fast
19:19
It's the top end where they fall off like
19:22
the torque curve for an
19:23
electric is a brick wall
19:25
Like it's just straight up and down
19:27
But internal combustion catches all of
19:29
that on this top end and
19:31
that's where it evens out or where
19:34
Internal combustion starts to win out.
19:36
Yeah. Yeah, I mean from an
19:38
engineering point standpoint
19:40
I mean you want pretty much a low-end
19:42
torque thing to be doing off-road stuff
19:45
anyways and like good
19:48
Yeah, yeah, you want low torque and and
19:52
you know, and that's what
19:53
electric motor provides you
19:54
You know just just cuz you have a tractor
19:57
motor a new Jeep doesn't
19:58
mean it's the best thing ever
20:29
I
20:29
Would just say in a subtractor motor outstanding
20:30
For enough time for me to work on mine. Yes, it's crazy hot right now
20:32
Yeah, you know, I was surprised. I left
20:33
Atlanta this morning and when I landed in
20:35
Chicago this afternoon
20:36
It was hotter than
20:37
Atlanta. I was like what the hell?
20:39
I was I was in Atlanta last week in the
20:41
water was awesome. I like woke up. It was
20:44
82 degrees there in Alpharetta
20:45
No, I want to try to get out on the
20:49
trails in the next couple weeks because
20:51
I'm gonna be gone out
20:54
of country for a while
20:56
But I've been kind of like not going just
20:58
because of most of organs on fire
21:00
And I don't want to be the reason Oregon
21:02
starts on fire another fire. Yeah
21:06
For a user not to be a fire hazard
21:08
Well, yeah
21:09
It just takes one
21:10
You know one hit off a rock with a spark
21:12
and you said to the whole place on fire
21:14
and I don't want to I don't
21:15
Want to be that guy, you know, is that
21:17
really I've never even thought about
21:19
that. Is that really
21:20
concern for off-roaders?
21:21
Oh, yeah, they shut they shut down some
21:23
of the OHV trails out here by one o'clock
21:27
in the summer when they were in high
21:29
Really? Yeah, like you got off the trails
21:32
Well, you got like a catalytic converter
21:35
is that around 400 degrees. Yeah
21:39
brushing against dry
21:39
grass you could start a fire
21:41
The woods and whatnot are more
21:45
combustible after 1 p.m.
21:47
Apparently I don't know
21:49
To dry dry grass dry fuel. Yep. I mean it
21:55
makes sense. I just never
21:57
I'd never put that together
21:59
Try grass on the Pacific Northwest. No
22:01
the fact that you spark coming off a
22:03
vehicle, you know, like an off-road
22:05
off-roading could be a problem
22:07
Let's let me do some trails. I think
22:08
things like the kind of looking version
22:10
DPS down here in the south
22:12
Absolutely, Jen, but I
22:14
mean I would think the Pacific
22:15
I do know that when you go out west now,
22:20
you can't mean you're
22:21
gonna go wheeling at camping
22:23
You better bring one of those like
22:24
portable propane fire pits because you're
22:26
not gonna be able to put a campfire
22:30
It's it's blocked and pretty much
22:32
anywhere you go. Well, yeah that I get I
22:34
was up in northern,
22:34
Minnesota a couple weeks ago
22:36
Same thing they had massive fires. We had
22:38
to use, you know,
22:38
little backpacking stoves
22:40
I just never equated the fact that we
22:41
shut the trails down because the vehicles
22:43
could be a contributor to
22:45
the house creating the hazard
22:46
We talked about last week like I'm
22:48
surrounded by fires
22:50
or I was yeah, luckily
22:51
Yeah, most of them were out
22:53
now except for the big one
22:54
But just because it shut down doesn't
22:56
mean it was common
22:56
sense shut down to that
22:58
Right that way pretty extreme as the one
23:00
one shut down just
23:01
because it's an off-road vehicle
23:03
Not all the time does it make sense
23:08
No, it's it's plenty odds and being
23:11
precautionary like
23:12
I'm not calling it right
23:13
But I get the thought process behind it.
23:16
I think the main thought process is
23:19
You know in the Jeepers world
23:22
Will get lumped in with side-by-side with
23:24
pretty much any offer vehicle type side
23:26
of some sometimes
23:27
they're out for more than a
23:28
More than just a wheeling trip. They want
23:30
to go party. All right, so
23:31
I'm transferring. Well, I mean we've had
23:33
several fires here,
23:34
which don't get me wrong
23:36
Civic Northwest versus here is very
23:38
different like you said earlier
23:39
But we've had several fires here where
23:41
somebody drove three or four hours
23:43
Parks in somebody's yard and grass coming
23:46
fire from a catalytic converter. Yeah
23:48
this picture I'm sharing right there
23:51
I pulled in behind this girl. She had
23:52
pulled off the side of the road in her
23:55
little beetle there
23:56
it had died on her and
23:58
And she's sitting there talking to me I
24:00
was and and and she she's on her phone
24:03
She's calling somebody and I said, all
24:04
right, just making sure you're okay
24:06
And then as I was walking back to my car
24:08
I started hearing something crackling and
24:11
popping and I turned around and looked
24:12
and sure enough she had fire under her
24:15
Her little car and I said, hey, I said
24:17
you got you got a fire starting there
24:18
Can you get it? Can we get it back off
24:20
the grass and on the pavement and she and
24:23
she's not it won't run
24:24
It won't start or anything and uh, and it
24:27
didn't take five minutes
24:28
and uh
24:29
We we actually hooked. Uh, there's a guy
24:32
in a truck came by and he had
24:33
a chain and we hooked it to her
24:35
To her rim there on the driver side and
24:38
pulled it out of the grass
24:40
Because there was to the where the fire's
24:42
blowing was a huge cornfield
24:45
And it was like eight
24:47
foot tall and brown. Uh-huh
24:50
Was it browned up by that point? I don't
24:52
I don't remember me and brown but
24:54
I don't you know, I mean everybody
24:56
everybody there everybody that pulled up
24:58
It's like oh man, we gotta we need to get
24:59
that out of that. The
25:00
fact cornfield goes up
25:02
There's a bunch of houses
25:03
and stuff back there, you know
25:04
And so but uh, yeah, she her car died and
25:07
she just pulled it off the side of the
25:08
road not thinking about it
25:10
You know anything about it and and that's
25:12
only that that was maybe about two weeks
25:14
ago when this happened
25:15
I think that's natural your car dies. You
25:17
don't want to become the
25:17
hazard, right? What do you do?
25:18
You want to get out of the road? Yeah
25:22
Yeah
25:24
That's nuts you didn't go
25:26
over there and yell at that
25:27
Sqv driver for a lot backing into yeah,
25:29
I'm screwed up your picture. What is that
25:31
about? He pulled off
25:33
They they were just they
25:35
were getting out of the way
25:37
That's insane. Yeah, because it'd be
25:39
honestly first thing you think about is I
25:40
don't want to be in the roadway
25:41
I was going around the corner. I was
25:42
trying to see if I got the
25:44
Cornfield in any of the pictures here,
25:46
especially some might start coming around
25:47
the corner, right? Roger
25:49
You want to be sitting
25:49
in the middle of the road?
25:53
Yeah
25:53
These guys seem like it
25:56
took them forever to get
25:58
They're walking
25:59
around laying the hoses out
26:01
Well, the other side of that too is if
26:02
you want to take the hybrid
26:04
off road this battery packs man
26:06
Because uh, they get started you can't
26:08
just put them out crazy
26:09
That doesn't happen very often when
26:12
you're driving that's only when you're
26:14
parked yeah in the garage
26:16
And Cadillac converters don't set fires
26:18
very often you're driving either
26:21
It's only when you're parked
26:22
Fair point
26:27
Especially if I had one of the cornfield,
26:28
I guess I did I was I guess
26:30
out from your back of the Wilkes
26:34
Rick you don't have to worry about kind
26:35
of like burger sharing fires here
26:38
No
26:38
All the meth heads averting all the meth
26:43
heads and crack heads have already stolen
26:44
all the Cadillac converters
26:46
They they all went to
26:47
uh, texas and illinois
26:53
That's crazy, all right
26:56
Awesome that was that was my question for
26:58
the night appreciate y'all's input and I
27:00
said you all not y'alls
27:03
Because you're a yankie
27:04
what's wrong with y'all?
27:07
You never use the
27:09
word you are you are what
