  1. Regarding red mud; in Texas, the red mud likes to STICK, but if it sticks to hot things like my Honda Civic's transmission it bakes on. I am doing a rebuild of my Civic and was cleaning everything up as I was doing that, but the mud on my transmission is SO STUBBORN the only thing that gets it off of the transmission housing isn't soap and water, it isn't even a brass wire brush (a fine/polite brush…the DIGS GOUGES IN THE METAL variety of brass brush removes it but damages the surface), it's just my 'emory-bristle' nylon 'wire wheel' that can get the red mud off so far. It's just my transmission, not like it 'baked onto my exhaust and became a ceramic' because that might have made sense (but didn't happen either, actually), it's just THAT STUBBORN. Simple Green, Scrubbing Bubbles, 'lysol floor cleaner', regular soap and water, letting it soak for a bit, nothing seems to get it OFF of my aluminum transmission housing.

    So…if anyone knows what might work that doesn't involve dunking the transmission housing in terrible chemicals (or any-chemicals, the transmission is not empty, just 'the axle caps are covered to keep out water and dust') then I'm open to suggestions on how to get Texas baked-on-red-dust off of my K40 transmission's housing! The Intake Manifold cleaned up like I wouldn't believe, but that transmission has NOT.

    Also…did that mud-guy break his drive system, or hydro-lock from a poor snorkel? It really seemed to stop in a BIG hurry so I thought snorkel-fail at first but they mentioned his drivetrain suffering from the ruts.

  2. bro must have super hero hearing to know when a rock can hit the bottom. Walk it, use a stick and look at the flow. Its easy to judge still water but moving is why you walk it.

  3. Justin and zach can’t help but talk smack about jeep and always have a jeep around to bail them out (don’t forget a stock jeep followed the high and low Toyotas with zero equipment! 😂)

  4. 17:05 … Jeeps Airbags go off from hitting Bump on way Down. Driver and passenger Blind and Gasping for Air because someone forgot to remove Air Bag Fuse while Overlanding.

    It isn't just Jeep people, but it WAS funny to see that they ALL parked at the bottom of that Funnel.

  5. I feel like Zack is that uncle calling me a dumbass for doing something admittedly dumb with my vehicle, and Natasha is that hot chick next door that I don’t mind embarrassing myself in front of if it gets a laugh out of her
