Conquering Dickey Bell Trail #91 Jeep Badge of Honor Trail in our Gladiator during a Thunderstorm! 

Nice! Yeah, we stopped in on a whim after spring break at Myrtle Beach. Didn’t take to long to do if you’re doing just that trail. Lots of other trails in the area worth checking out!

After seeing it in person I can definitely agree to that. We were by ourselves and had to drive back to Michigan directly after completing this trail. Didn’t want to take any chances with breaking something.

That was very unintentional lol! But we made it work

That’s why we do it my friend. I love doing it and if it inspires people to do the same then even better! Usually my wife will film for me but it was down-pouring rain so I had to elect for a lot of still tripod shots. Still works though. Your Rubicon should be fine out there. Just take it slow and don’t do anything to crazy.

I have done 4 Badge of Honor trails. 5 th one is next week. They edit a lot of these video. And show the difficult bits. Most are not hard. They are forest service roads for the most part. And the Forest Service does not get lifted and built trucks to drive them. And they can make it through. Gulches in SC? All the green and some of the blue can be done in 2 high. Without airing down. In a stock Gladiator Rubicon. Because I did it. Dicky Bell is technically closed. 4 trails at Uwharrie are "closed" Dutch John being one. I was there last week. You can get onto Dicky Bell through Dutch John tbough. They have equipment out there "fixing it". Yet middle of the week no one was working. And the signal sucks. So checking in is near impossible. And you cannot check in anyway as Badge of Honor shows it closed still.

@yesihavebedbugs2786 right on. I’m sitting at 30 badges right now. We just did trails 26, 51 and 16 again at Windrock. 26 was a breeze but 16 I would not recommend for a Gladiator or any stock rig. Body damage is to be expected and take your doors off if you ever decide to run it.

Yeah I do need to look into that. Not only is the diesel heavy, but the metal cloak skids, JCR rock sliders, apex winch, bigger tires, RCI rack, and obviously all my gear adds so much extra weight.

Awesome! I appreciate the support! I wish we could have spent more time in that trail system but it was storming pretty good and we still had a twelve hour drive home.

Haha! I thought about it. Probably would have if I wasn’t wheeling alone and it wasn’t down-pouring rain.

@@TrailExpedition that seems reasonable.

I thought so as well.

Thank you for the support!

Right on. That definitely looked like the sketchy side 😆

BRAAAP!

I hadn’t noticed them being out, ha! The turn signal still functions normal. However, once in a great while if it’s been raining a lot, I will get an error message stating that the turn signal is out and it will hyper flash inside the vehicle. But when looking at the actual turn signal it was functioning as normal. It only happens a few times a year so hasn’t been a big deal. I love the look, durability and price of the KBDs!

We did this trail on a whim while driving back from Myrtle Beach so I didn’t research it much. We started on the wrong end so ended up running it in reverse. It’s still challenging going down in the rain with a vehicle full of gear.

It was a fun one!

Hey there! I’m not a local to the area as we’re from Michigan. Download the Jeep Badge of Honor app to see what the latest is on the trail. Have fun and be safe!

@@TrailExpedition I downloaded the app and created a profile. Unfortunately it appears Trai #91 is currently closed till July. That's a hot month for jeeps. Thanks for the great info. I may be going to Michigan in September tho.. are there any badge trails up there that you'd recommend? Preferably blue-ish. Thanks again

@dealike5326 I definitely recommend Drummond Island as it’s the best wheeling in Michigan. Holly Oaks off-road park also has a badge to grab but it’s nothing special.

Honestly I forget. We did the trail on a whim without much research. It’s fun either way!

At complete full flex there is some very minor rubbing. Not enough that makes me wanna run spacers though.

revkit.com/trail2 This is the full breakdown of my gladiator build so far.

I wasn't sure if would have to run a wheel spacer(didn't want to) I'm picking up the tires today and lifting it up tmrw, thanx for the response

Yup! If you crank your wheel all the way you will feel some very minor rubbing. Just back off to 95% and you’re good to go. Only really turn my wheel that far when turning into tight parking spots.

Four low first gear. Just crawled right down. The rest of the trail is a cake walk.

@TrailExpedition need to go back with the Bronco and see how it does. This and Gulches park is the nearest offroad area from me...3-4hrs minimum🤦‍♂️

I feel your pain. The closest stuff to me is two hours minimum and it’s nothing special. Gotta drive 5-6 hours to get anywhere descent.

I’m running the 2” AEV lift and 37” Falken Wildpeak tires on the OEM wheels.

I’m sure that would have been much more difficult. We had no idea of which way we were going.

@@TrailExpedition head back out to Uwharrie for a weekend. Do Dickey going in the other direction. Lots more fun then going down. Daniel #390 is even more fun. Let me know when you are up for a trip. I’ll meet you out there.

Right on. Won’t be out that way for awhile. Looking to do Colorado sometime this year!
