This is awesome! I haven't tried Dickey Bell yet (it's been closed this season so far) but I have done most of the other easy/moderate trails in my stock '24 JLUR 6MT. It's a lot of fun.
Great Video. I have a stock 2021 Rubicon with an added steel bumper and winch. Any damage to your vehicles doing this trail. Looks like they handled it well. Thanks for posting this.
Robert, I was in the white Jeep... There was only light "damage" and all within realistic expectations while wheeling. My steps took the brunt of most of it (not my first choice for steps, but I have younguns) while the Rubicon stock skid plates saw the rest. Again, all tolerable.
What was your ground clearance, what size tires, and did you have lockers? Nice video, I have a ram 1500 short wheel base on 33" 12" clearance have been thinking about running the trail.
I'm in the white JLUR. I've never actually measured the clearance 🤔. Tires are 33s. Yes, the Rubicons come with lockers. 1500? Your wheel base will be challenging on quite a few of the trails. I was scraping belly quite a bit with the 4-door whereas Sean's 2-door was just fine. I'd check out Ben and Cassie wheeling their gladiator in Uwharrie to get a better idea for your 1500 (YT: JK Gear and Gadgets)
Great video! We live in NC, but have not been to Uwharrie yet (just got the JLU a short time ago). Your video made me more confident that a stock suspension Jeep can handle much of the terrain there. Thank you!
Be more careful of the tree that you use to anchor your winch line on. That thing was pretty old and decrepit and could have come down on your Jeep. Great wheeling though. I got my badge on Dickey Bell a couple months ago.
