Black Bear Pass.. in the Delica! Massive thanks to my new amigo Nick for being patient spotting me while I very slowly worked through this insane road. We did it without issue, but I’m not sure I’d do it again. Upon sitting down for dinner in Telluride, the guy next to us says, “how was your day? You look shell shocked” 😅. Thanks to Alejandra for filming and Luke Segreto for providing the music.

Im torn. Im glad to see people getting out there and doing this and experiencing all that nature and this country has to offer in term of natural beauty, but on the flip side, these folks really drive me crazy because it really goes to show just exactly how wildly unprepared and generally ignorant(not stupid, but uneducated) on what off roading really means, and the trails that clearly far exceeded this drivers experience and capabilities. If he were to have wrecked on Black Bear Pass, then it would have been more ammunition for the state to try and close that pass off for everyone for good just because these kids wanted to go check something out. Im glad they made it through and ran into someone who knew what they were doing, but this should be a good learning lesson to others to really know where you are going and what you are doing and to not exceed your capabilities. Also a note to the driver, put down the damn phone while driving, unless you are hoping to capture your roll over and death at the bottom of the ravine.
Anyone else thinking this would be very sad found footage if that jeep hadn’t shown up? I can’t believe you were going to attempt that solo and with no experience. Experienced drivers have died there.
Inexperienced drivers need to keep off this road. It's unfortunate that this video will only inspire other idiots to be as dumb as this couple. You had no business being there. On the flip side though, these delicas can easily to pritchet canyon if they can do black bear😂
I agree. Obvious lack of experience, lack of pre-trip research, and top heavy vehicle for the trail. #DeathWish
well, since its cab over engine the center of gravity is lower, but ye, it is very top wobbly@@TedEischeid1960
cry
Center of gravity making a huge move. Btw awosome angles & senary ❤❤
That was a crazy accomplishment! I've got a Delica myself and have been planning our cross country trip. You're an inspiration. If you've seen the regular car reviews video, that was my van.
Beautiful video bro!
I’m picking one of these up in the next month and I can’t wait to do this stuff and go adventure. I’ve always been into off-roading but I’m so happy I found these fun vans. You got balls!
What an Amazing experience/ adventure
Dude that was NUTS
Beautiful view with worthy of off-roading experience. You and your Delica is awesome.
Thank you!
Jeeezus...this was hard to watch. Good job man!
You're a nut dude!!! Send it!!
Awesome rig!! These vans are so fun!
Big time 😁 thanks!
I have driven black hear pass, last time in my 2004 discovery, really well built, it is a simple trail in tge right rig, your delica made it very sketchy glad you made it down in one piece
I think I'd be terrified even in my '04 Disco! 🤣🤣
YOO! incredible job pushing through all that! I have an imported Isuzu Elf camper 4wd that I took on a trail in Maine (nothing as epic as this) but found myself a little deeper then I wanted and the Elf isn't nearly as good off-road as the Delica. Watching this took me back to that day where I almost flipped the camper I spent my life savings on haha. Glad you made it out to the other side in one piece (I cracked a little fiberglass but nothing important). Oh yea I wouldn't do it again either haha. I have a video up of it too if your interested. I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
Awesome video
Holy shish cuz that was insane! Serious skills bro
Damnnnn!! Way to go! I wish I felt confident enough to do this in my Hiace haha
Go for nearby Cinnamon Pass!
That is terrifying to watch. Glad you made it through. Bet you'll never do that route again. 😂
Yeah once was enough in a Delica 😅
I want to see it going up.😊
Nice! Also - very scarry :P
Very! Haha
thats nuts!
🤪
better you than me! holy hell
OMG! That was crazy!!! I'm looking for a Delica right now. It's good to see how capable they are. I don't think I'd be on black bear with it though... woooo. I'd need a ton of 4x4 experience before I could do that. Great video! Also, What model year is that Delica?
Waoooo ,, Amigos si que vivieron una buena aventura , Nice video and your car is very good
Man!!!!! Giant props to you. I was terrified for you both. There is no way I'd do that trail in that tippy van.
Wow! My heart was in my mouth at times! You showed what a Delica can do.....well done to all of you!
I'm glad you made it down safe. Learn from this. Know the limits of your vehicle. Know your own limits as a driver. The more you do, the better at it you'll become. Stay safe. :)
Just picked up my Delica with a Westfalia interior conversion. I'm doing the cylinder head+gasket on it and then plan to hit trails! I really want to take it out there so I'm happy to know it can be done in one. I heard they don't flex very well, but I had no idea how little it was aha Looks like a great adventure! Maybe we'll see you on the road!
Wow that conversion sounds sweet, I'd be curious to see that. Can Black Bear be done? the answer is officially yes. Would I do it again in a Delica? nope! If you make it out there, I might recommend Engineer Pass before Black Bear and see how you feel :) Hope to see you on the road!
@@kylegarrity It certianly didn't look easy haha I'm doing more trails around here to get used to my Delica. But if you find yourself near Pismo or any sand dunes really, I highly recommend lowering your tire pressure, throwing it in low range and having some fun climbing what you'd never expect our little vans to do!
Epic pictures, look really amazing 🙂
i enjoyed watching every bit of it. wow.. you guys are amazing. i also have a delica.
I wish they made a new Delica
Amazing! The Delica is looking super capable...I wonder if our Savana can make it to El Fuerte...
Freaking crazy impressive 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
As a New Zealander I've got to say, this is one of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen
Great video ! How tall are you ? Im 6”4 and want a delica so bad I just don’t know if I’ll fit :,)
Hey sorry just saw this. Thanks! I'm 5'9". 6'4" might be a squeeze haha but you should find someone with a Delica in your area and test it out. Where are you located?
I love this place 🌄🚙 Nice Delica4x4
L400 owner. This video gave me so much anxiety..... I need to go lay down for a bit.
Wow, you should know that you car has límited off road capabilities. Nur well done.
haha thanks, I know. I think I found its exact limits on this road!
That is awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend this! I got a Trd Pro and bear pass is no joke. Great accomplishment, keep pushing those limits! Im currently looking for a Jasper Trim. ‘93.
men!!! you've got plenty of balls!!.....Salute...
Nice work in the L300!
Thanks Donald!
Crazy track, well done. What were your tyre pressures? They looked a little high, you will get a much softer ride, less bouncing around, and better traction with lower tyre pressure on terrain like that.
I don't remember exactly but I think they were around 10-15 psi. The Delica is just an all around bouncy vehicle haha
Your tires definitely don’t look like your stated 10-15 psi. More like 25-30. Too much pressure.
woooow es realmente impresionante la capacidad del vehiculó y del conductor
Great place, thank you...
Thanks for watching!
Perfect example of why the County Sheriff closed Black Bear. 🙄
I appreciate he never put the beer down!
🤣🍻
That was insane.
Music in the end?
“For Too Long” by Luke Segreto
Crikey.
So this is where you've been hiding!
Almost thought we might need your ambulance on this one 😅
WISH I HAD ONE! IM BORED OF DIRTBIKES AND QUADS......
zoom zoom!
Great work. I would have had someone hanging off an open door to add weight to the light side.
Высоко, красиво, удивлён вашей смелости.....! Mitsubishi Delica..- the best...👍
Lucky for these unprepared people no one was hurt by their naïveté and lack of proper preparation and equipment. See how dangerous Black Bear Pass can be - it’s not an amusement park! kzhead.info/sun/mryEcZalbH15lYU/bejne.html

I like that 😅
Need more weight on the back end.
That Delica is actually a beast offroad. Locking diffs, a low range gear box, and pretty great departure/breakover angles. Only issue is it's a bit tippy. Some wider set wheels would make it perfect.
You nailed it! We’re still not used to that tippy feeling but I’m confident saying it’s a lot less tippy than it looks / feels.
this was no difficult road. wow.
Few things: 1) You’re nuts! 2) Beautiful scenery 3) Get a Jeep. 4) You’re nuts!
😂 thanks Ralph! Bring your jeep out we’ll hit some trails
For the Golden Mountains of Altay this delica is good too.
I'd be nervous walking it.
balls and skill dude!
You can by pass Black Bear Pass with highway 62. I'd do that.
The thing with delicas, is you just trust it, they rarely if ever tip, people really underestimate how low the center of gravity is in them.
Don't do that again!
Narrow track, short wheelbase, top heavy, cab-over vehicle on a steep 4wd track. Yeah, nah. Yer lucky that pos didn't roll down the mountain like a bowling ball.
It’s not as top heavy as it looks! Short wheel base cab over are positives I’d say. But yeah, a little luck didn’t hurt ;)
А видео подъёма есть?
Hey man do you have a lift and what size tires? Thanks! @kyle garrity
Hey! Sorry just saw this. My Delica is lifted about 1.5 inches and has 30 x 9.5 inch tires
