Good spotter/ cameraman. All Jeep owners could take a similar driving test before leaving the lot. Looks like a nice day of mud and rocks. Good ol' East coast.
Question for both of you please. I live in Alabama but travel to Arizona ever year. Is there a good set up for a Rubicon that will be great in Southern mud and good in the Western sand and rocks? Hopefully in two years I can buy a Rubicon. For now I'm trying to learn jeeps on RU-vid. I'm leaning more to hill climbing and mud. Of course of road trails etc. I'll be driving it on interstate across country also. Thanks
This is just like cresant lakes Colorado only without the huge boulders your truck slides up against as your sliding back down the slope sideways unreal how slippery the rocks get with the silty clay on them
Do you guys let your pressures down at all?? They still look fully pumped up?? We have loads of mud here in Southwest Western Australia too, let our tyre pressures down to between 5psi - 15psi and can get up just about anything without spinning the wheels or tearing up the tracks for others. Also another thing i'm curious about, is all you have Jeeps there?? Or was this a specific Jeep Club run?
Question. The little 2 door , is that a stock front dana 30 with locker? On 1st hill of video the 2 door has a couple tries and the front axle jumps around little bit when spinning trying get up hill. My question is what is the cause of the front axle/wheels "jump around"? Looks like a front to rear shift real fast instead up and down. Reason I ask is my front axle is stock and does same thing. Especially when turning and spinning at high rpm
That guys white Toyota has seen some shit haha. And isn’t it funny that the guys with the old Cherokees were right up and out but the guys with the 400$ apiece beadlock street tiers on their 50,000 dollar jeeps took 10 minuets to climb the same hill. Cherokees for life
Daniel Lucero guys, Most of these vehicles are running around 8 to 10 psi. The weather on this weekend was just downpours and rain the whole time. No amount of lower tire pressure is going to help. Much lower than that, you will lose all ground clearance.
RC Addict most of these vehicles are driven daily by the owners. An extreme mud tire's advantage off road does not outweigh the poor on road characteristics.
Hello from Brazil! Nice rigs!! In 24:47 , from inside , it's that a obd 2 reader? With engine information , could you tell me the name of this type of reader? Thanks , watch my videos of mudding here in Br with flat fender #54 Willys!
@@rockyour4x4 no kidding. I just checked it out and I'm not too far. Greenville SC. Bout 4 hours. I'll have to haul the ol fj80 up there sometime. Love ur videos. Keep em coming.
And i just heard you say to keep it in neutral??!!! OMG NEVER ever ever stay in neutral when out playing on rocks or ruts or in mud, you need the engine brake to help you..........keep it in 1st gear, manual or auto and slowly keep going down. :O
Sorry to say but by watching this video I can easily say they all are competent drivers so it would be good if keywords warriors dont tell them what to do and what not to...
Nothing would have helped on that first hill it was rocks and clay. I live in Georgia and have a s10 with 12in lift 40in boggers lockers and a 427 small block and 4:11 gears and I have been stuck on flat ground lol when you get in that clay it sticks to your tires and turns them into slicks and yeah you can increase wheel speed to try and keep them clear but then you risk it finally getting traction and snapping a axle. Finally boggers are a great tire but their design is more for a deep rutted mud. If you get into a rut where the giant side wall tread can trip to then yeah no prob. Also I'm not putting you down nor am I a expert I'm just going off my personal experience and I'm sure there is a lot of stuff I don't know that you do I was just putting my opinion. Have a great day and stay off road.
As a Mudding/trailing fanatic, I'd simply say, you don't. The rain/rivers you go through cleans it for you. Jeeps were meant to get dirty(more specifically the old YJs and TJs, and old cherokees)(sorry JKs you're too "mall crawler" for my liking))
I know its not that easy. I go off-roading on weekends and what you are doing is best according to situation. Lowering tire pressure doesn't always work. I give appreciation to all of you and keep posting videos like this.
Yeah right before you start the trail always are down to at least 15 psi if you don't have a compressor just don't drive like an a****** to the nearest gas station afterwards get
These Jeeps are really struggling to get up that hill while aToyota Landcruiser 79 series will crawl up that hill like a BOSS any day. Landcruisers also make amateur drivers look like professionals off-road drivers.
We do have tyres here in the US, but they are on wooden or metal wagon wheels. The outer metal band (or solid rubber) that ties the wagon wheel together is still called a tyre. When pneumatic tyres were invented we started calling them tires to differentiate them from the tyre on a wagon wheel. The rest of the world didn't change the name. For about 50 years there were almost as many tyres as there were tires in the US. If you go to Pennsylvania or Illinois Amish country you will see a lot of tyres.
yea.. there's absolutely no way these people were at " 5 - 12psi " in this video.. looks like at least 18-25psi.. and these people had beadlocks with seemingly bald MT or regular AT tires, that's why they wernt moving at all... a real MT at 10psi would have done waaay better than what you're seeing in this video
Wayne Parks most definitely, there is a wide variety of skill levels at the SFWDA events. Come to Dixie Run in September at Golden Mountain. Look us up.
rockyour4x4 do all the jeeps have lockers or no? Plus did they decrease there tire pressure? I'm trying to learn about jeeps that is why I ask, thanks.
