Make sure you select "watch in High Quality" and Full-Screen.
Turn up speakers.

Where at in Mojove is that? We usually go out to Gorman but that looks fun too. We were thinking about going 4x4ing soon before the warranty is out to see if anything falls off before then since my X is making some crazy rattles from who knows where under the engine.

Wonderful vid.Tried to do a little bit of that in New Mexico this summer,but the DW wussed out after about 10 miles.She just doesn't like off roading.
My best trip was over the Rubicon in the early 70's in the daily driver while on vacation..1970 Toyota LC FJ-55 with 10" white spokes,Man-a-fre headers,Rochestor 2-GC carb and an aft mkt Dist.. It also had a Warn 8K winch,can rack for 4 jerry cans.. Before my son rolled it at 16 years,it had 250K and still running strong...

I held the camera in my left hand and drove with my right, mostly.
The radio is a Yaesu FT3000M, that has been modded.
I can listen/talk to all the persons likely to be out there, hit the
repeaters, and talk simplex to my buddies from quite a distance...
...like from my house near the Ocean in Orange County to Barstow.
