Howdy! Here is an amazing 3 day Solo Jeep trip through Death Valley in FULL 4K video goodness!!!
Grab a snack and a favorite beverage and come along with me to some of my favorite places in this beautiful but desolate spot on planet Earth… Death Valley National Park
I took this trip back in March, before the big storms wreaked havoc on the roads and terrain… I will try to get back out there again soon (before the end of the year) to see how different some of these trails are.

Keep up the videos Jason! Always nice little gems to watch when they pop up. Just curious too if you still own the ram?
Belated Happy Birthday brother. I enjoy your videos as always. Be safe out there.
HBD young man!
Awesome video! I’ll be heading out there sometime before the year ends. Quick ? Where did you get that phone holder?
Btw you got a new sub!
FYI, wash yourself at the shower, not in the tubs
Great and very well done! I have watched quite a few Death Valley 4×4 trail videos on YouTube and this one that you did is by far, the best one I have seen!👍👍
I know it has been several weeks, but Happy Birthday!🍰
I have been to a few of those places, Ballarat Ghost Town, Goller Wash, Saline Valley Hot Spring, which is one of my very favorite places to go in the world. Definitely worth an overnight stay, or better yet, the 2 or 3 day relaxation, camping trip for me, because I live so far away. I usually spend 3 or more overnights when I go there. It's very much a healing experience for me just being there and spending time soaking and enjoying the night sky.
I really enjoyed watching how you pick your lines on the trails.
Most of the YouTube videos I have watched of people driving their 4×4's and on the more difficult of the same trails you showed, the vast majority of the drivers didn't pick their lines very well and some were obviously very inexperienced and even with the spotters they did have, they still didn't drive a good line, maneuver well, or get guided by the spotter as well as you did going solo in your video.
Of course, quite a few of those vehicles probably shouldn't have even been on some of those trails in the 1st place and a lot of the 'built' 4×4's were not as dialed-in as well as yours is either.😉
Jason thanks for this video new to the channel spend some time watching some of the how to videos and I must say I've enjoyed a lot sounds like he took a hiatus and now you're back glad to see that keep the videos coming
dude, thank you for this making this video and the google route! doing this exact trip next month solo. 2004 LJ can't wait.
What seat covers Are those
Now that is how to celebrate you're birthday happy birthday Jason awesome just absolutely Awesome would love to go there someday, you're jeep is cool I've watched you build it up from stock to the beast it is now keep up the great work 👍🏻 🍻🎉🎊
Awesome solo production! Very nice delivery and flow of everything…. information, emotions, all of it! Thank you!
I’ll always stay watching, brother! I love your content and charismatic personality! You never act like you’re an expert know it all, you just show us the things you do and how you do them. Sweet rig and keep on trucking!
Hi Jason… Excellent videos! I stumbled onto your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching at work. Don't tell my boss, Ha Ha. I drive a 2013 Rubicon with a manual that I purchased new almost 10 years ago. I am also in my 50's so we have a lot in common except I do not have the coolest car in the world, an all original 65 corvette. Keep the videos coming, I really enjoy riding along!
Do you have to bring extra fuel on a trip like this? Love your vids man. Cheers
why didn’t you take the jeep down that asteroid hole at 16min??? lol that woulda been fun to watch! you think the jeepster woulda came out that hole?
Please go double shear on your PSC clamp. It’s hot trash. I had WFO get me squared after multiple failures. 1 at EJS and one on the rubicon that made for a super sketchy self rescue.
Thanks for taking us on this trip, Jason!
Dang, $7.29 a gallon out there!
Happy birthday bro!!!
The washboard road to the racetrack was an absolute dashboard shaker in my 4.5" lifted short arm 2006 LJ. I look forward to going back in my Gladiator.
Before I started off roading I got a flat tire on a rental car on Racetrack Road. I only had a donut for a spare and it took me eight hours but I made it back to the crater on the donut. I couldn't go faster than about three miles per hour for the majority of the drive. Asphalt never felt so good when I got to the crater. I made it back to Death Valley Junction to spend the night and then back to Vegas to exchange the rental car… LOLLL I learned a lot from that experience and now have the right vehicle when I go out there.
happy birthday jasen🎉
im 60 and it sucks😂
glad to see you back in the saddle👍
jasen what a good accurate gauge to use to air up🤷
Great vid. Liked and subscribed.
First off, let me thank you for how you broke the video down by attraction, man I wish everyone did this, AWESOME!! Great video and information, thank you for sharing…..
14:45 Gas prices!!
Can I tag along next time you do this trip? Please take some us along who can not do this voyage on our own! Seriously, please reach out ans organize this great trip to share with most of us Jeepr's that would love to do this trip!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Grew up in Southern California and always enjoyed dirt biking through desert areas. Would love to drive back in my Jeep and go to the areas you went to. What caused me to pause the video is the background of when you are filling with gas and seeing the gas prices. WOW. Sticker shock, I realize that was from 2022 but still. Again great video thanks for putting it together.
You americans are so lucky to have so many places to off road for miles and miles. In canada we only have a couple of small places and nothing like you guys have. It sucks.
