Mojave Road Journey Part I

When a crew of Overland Bound Members tells you to hit the Mojave Road Trail with them, you follow. And you are SUPER thankful when they are there to pull you out of trouble. Here's the first part...

I've never seen nor heard of a radiator grenading like that before. Unreal, dude. Can't wait to see how it all turned out.

Great video, was unbelievable that you were taping at the time of the grenaded radiator Have only seen this happening in offroad race trucks, quite a shock.

Great Video! Can't wait to see the next episode.
Just one comment; Bullhead City, being on the other side of the Colorado River across from Laughlin Nevada, is in Arizona, not Nevada.

WOW!

I have had a radiator explode on my Duramax going 70 mph on the highway. Pretty fun stuff after you clean your shorts from the sudden sound and heavy spray of water/antifreeze coming from every opening around the hood.

Looking forward to the 2nd video.

Only time I've ever seen one blow like that, was when my buddy put the side specific head gaskets on the wrong side of the enigne, over pressurized the system!

Wife and I watched the video last night, really enjoyed it! I think the thing that impressed me most, was that you guys actually had a video camera running when the radiator blew, that never happens! I can video for 2 hours straight, shut the camera down and something exciting will happen, never fails.

Can't wait for part 2!

Great video as usual. I appreciate the positive attitude under all circumstances. Michael, is it me or with those shades are you really Doc Brown from Back to the future?

I have never seen a plastic tanked radiator explode like that! I have had two plastic tank radiators fail but they start out as a small leak. I would HIGHLY recommend any plastic tank radiator be replaced after about 10 years of use if properly maintained to avoid failure.

 

[Overland_Rich]

Wow, that is a catastrophic problem. Each time I hear of these I think of ways to fix or jury-rig on the trail. Pretty much nothing you could do absent a spare radiator.
