Ep.7: Ophir Pass, The Final Test
We came for a smooth Colorado sendoff, Ophir Pass had other plans. A gold-panning detour, a ledge barely wide enough for one car, and one boulder with a personal grudge turn the final climb into our biggest challenge yet. The Nissans fought hard… but the mountain hits harder.
Ep.6: Last Dollar Road
From Moab sunrise to Telluride after dark, the trio pushes their worn Nissans from desert heat into thin alpine air. Zip ties, bad fuel math, and stealth route stickers set the tone early. Then comes the climb past 11,000 feet—pure Detour chaos at altitude.
Ep.5: Shafer Switchbacks
We point three used Nissans at Moab’s worst manners and ask their CVTs to smile: a calm cruise along the Colorado River turns into Long Canyon’s ledges, Pucker Pass’ under-boulder squeeze, and the infamous Shafer Trail switchbacks clinging to Island in the Sky—no guardrails, no second chances.
Ep.4: Swing Arm City to Moab
Three used Nissans leave Cathedral Valley for Moab, thrashing their CVTs through bentonite “glue” clay, razorback ridges, and slickrock climbs—Devil’s Backbone, Hell’s Revenge, Hell’s Gate, even Tip-Over—with zip-tie fixes, a cave gas stop, and a roof rack that ejects at speed.
Ep.3: Cathedral Valley
“Impassable for most vehicles.” Challenge accepted. We nose three used Nissans into Utah's Cathedral Valley, start with a Fremont River crossing, then take on deep sand, rock steps, and brutal off-road trails—pushing our CVT's to the limit.
Ep.2: Little Sahara
Fresh off the Bonneville Salt Flats, we trade white crust for gold dunes: a lifted Murano with a skid plate, another Murano on big knobbies, and a Juke powered by bravado (and spare fuel). No prep. No mercy. Just CVTs clawing through soft sand, radio banter, a surprise “airtime” moment.
Ep.1: Bonneville Salt Flats
Zero race prep. Full-throttle pulls on salt, $100 trash talk, and an F1-style podium for… reasons. One lifted Murano with skid plate, one Murano on big knobbies, and a Juke running on confidence (and extra gas). Part myth-bust, part road trip, all chaos—and next we trade salt for sand at Little Sahara.
