We joined a fellow contributor with Trailsoffroad.com to run the iconic and challenging Chinaman Gulch trail. Tim just so happened to have the all new JL Rubicon with the Hybrid 2.0 engine and I was in the old JK. We both had very similar suspension setups and tire size so it made for a great comparison on this relentless trail.

When you too broke to get any Jeep but you still love and die for doing this one day! Thanks for sharing this experience!

@xploremor 4 года назад

Sorry to hear that you don't have a Jeep. I've had some short periods where I didn't have one, so I too had to get my fix on RU-vid. Thanks for watching and hopefully you'll get one someday so we can meet on the trail.

@OscarDiaz-nn9ch 4 года назад

Most definitely I’ll be there!

It's a good one. It was the perfect difficulty for our rigs and the views were incredible. Thanks for checking out the video.

Great video! We didn’t get to hit this trail this year but if they don’t close it permanently we hope to hit it next year!

Thank you. I truly hope they never close it. One of our best days on the trail ever. Thanks for watching and the comment.

@coloradomallcrawlers 4 года назад

Great video! This is one I want to film myself... my buddy in a KL wheels with me and pushes it, but I’m nervous about doing this one with him. Then again, he probably wouldn’t be nervous. Also, thanks for the 2 door content!

@xploremor 4 года назад

We appreciate you watching and leaving the comment. It's a pretty rough trail in some sections. I definitely used the lockers more then I thought I would. In my experience and opinion, it's definitely over the KL's limits. Climbing up the early section is hard and you need some good rocker protection. 2 doors rule!

@coloradomallcrawlers 4 года назад

Xploremor yea, I looked into it more, he’s getting bigger and tougher, but not till he gets more protection. I feel confident with my 2 door, but I want to do it after Holy Cross and Mt. Blanca. However, really great video, I do something similar aimed towards stock vehicles (which I include the Rubicon, but I wheel it like I wheeled my TJ sport... most of the time).

I like the Rock Hard mid width front bumper on the orange jl. I wonder if that the aluminum one. It's supposed to be super light like to 30-40 lbs

@xploremor 3 года назад

I'm not sure if it's the aluminum version. I didn't know they were that light weight. Thanks for watching.

what kind of axles do u run to do some cool crawling like this?

@xploremor 3 года назад

We both run d44 Rubicon axles. Thanks for checking out the video.

What size tires are you running?

@xploremor 4 года назад

We were both running 37s on 2.5 inch lifts. Thanks for watching.

@curttuundra 4 года назад

How far did you drive offroad at low speeds? No DPF regen crap with the ecodiesel? I had the 1st generation ecodiesel in a grand cherokee, powerful engine and awesome mpg, but had several problems with the DPF system. Hope they got that straight now. Would love to have another one in the 2d jl.

@xploremor 4 года назад

The owner hasn't had any issues when crawling or on high summits. I heard from another owner of a four dour diesel that had issues on two summits above 11,000 feet. Apparently it shutdown twice on him because of low hybrid batteries. Just died in the middle of the climb. He was going very slow in 4-low. He stated the dealership is allowing him to trade it for a standard V6. Thanks for watching and the comment.

what are your upgrades with the JL? any pointers for noobs?

@xploremor 4 года назад

He has a basic spring lift with taller springs, stock control arms and Teraflex Falcon shocks. 37's help a bunch in a two door. Seat time is most important. Gaining experience and becoming familiar with where your rigs points of contact are. Thanks for watching.

@Mike-01234 4 года назад

2 door way to go most guys I see wheeling either one or two at most in that jeep. I thought family would like 4 wheeling they hated it kids went once said they were board wife went a few more times then just me in a 4 door jeep always getting hung up on stuff so long. My advice don't get a 4 door kids hate 4 wheeling.

@Zakpresor 3 года назад

The trick is to let them drive some of the easy parts. I started driving at 10 in the desert in my dad's old GMC. It got me hooked.

@getoutdoorswithdondora1488 3 года назад

They don’t both appear to be Rubicon‘s.

@xploremor 3 года назад

I saved 15 grand and bought used Rubicon axles instead. So the only difference was his transfer case, hood decal and leather seats.

@joerouth6255 Год назад

I swapped a Rubicon transfer case into my sport a couple months back. It is night and day better for crawling. If you do any over landing maybe the stock case is good but if you just do crawling it’s worth it

@NoGasWelcomeAboard 4 года назад

How many wheelers wear headphones on the trail? ZERO! That’s because when crawling, hearing and reacting to the sounds your ride makes is critical. Blasting viewers with worthless background music denies them a huge part of that experience. Thank you for including segments WITHOUT annoying background music!
