7.3 EXCURSION OVERLAND BUILD HITS BLACK BEAR PASS

Published 2022-09-28
This time on Knucklehead Garage we are finally hitting pay dirt on Project Towverlander our 7.3 Excursion Overland vehicle build. We have outfitted the Diesel Excursion overland vehicle with some of the best overlanding stuff you can buy and will be driving this 1 ton beast 5000 miles from Atlanta, Georgia to Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and back. This will be the ultimate overlander test with an epic mix of trail riding and camping. For this episode we are hitting Pike's Peak before hitting some trails on our way to camp and take the biggest SUV ever made down the treacherous Black Bear Pass off road trail in Colorado. We might try to do it in 2wd just to prove how capable the Overland Excursion build is. We can't believe how much fun overlanding Colorado can be. Stay tuned for part 2 as we do some hardcore wheeling in Moab, Utah and push Jamin way outside of his comfort zone. You do not want to miss this!

    As a Power Wagon owner, I must say: That's the baddest overland vehicle EVER! And Black Bear! Internet win of the week!
  • Wow. You guys are basically doing what I've been dreaming about doing for six years. A 500hp overland 7.3 excursion build on 37s and front coils going over black bear pass. Well done fellas 👏
  • @jimskatr103
    as a Colorado native and local, listening to you struggle while talking at elevation has me rolling! sick video guys!!
  • I like how most overlanders cook steaks, chicken, fajitas, burgers, some will even go as far as make birria and other amazing stews. In comparison, van-lifers will be eating avocado toast, soy milk, vegan this, gluten-free that. Don't get me wrong, i'll eat some of that stuff, but man, can't beat a good steak.
  • 25 ish years ago I did the same trip with my dad. We got trapped/ stuck near the top of Black Bear pass in a snow storm. Had to spend the night up there. Good times. Thanks for taking me back/ along.

    Steak for dinner, steak for breakfast? Subscribed.
  • COLORADO IS INCREDIBLE! Mountain views for days, no video or picture can visually do justice. You must go for yourself. Been there this year for a week and would go back 10 times more if I could. Just breathtaking
  • I've followed this build since it began and I must say it paid off. Awesome build and awesome trip
  • Telluride is absolutely wonderful in the winter. But man does it look gorgeous all greened up like this!
  • Good on you...I did all that stuff back in the mid 90's in a rental Four Runner...freaking awesome, both the scenery and the vehicle. The Alpine Loop ROCKS.
  • Ok Ive got a Suburban on 40s and tons and have been wanting to do Black Bear but wasnt sure if it would fit. Now I know! great video fellers!! Thanks for taking us with you!!
  • I have watched this build from the start and have to say I have enjoyed the build and all the content. It's awesome to see what it was to what it is. But it's even better because it's a HOSS

    I’ve watched this episode idk how many times. I just took over my dads 7.3 excursion with an easy breezy 106xxx miles. I’m planning a long overland venture into Mexico for 6 months. Your build definitely gave me inspiration and great thought into how to build my rig. I’ll be towing an off-road trailer as well. Keep up the great content guys💪
