Forget the Rubicon Trail

[codemonkey]

Wow, that first video is some of the worst driving I've ever seen. That dude doesn't need sunglasses. A blindfold would do just fine

I wasn't going to be the first to rip on the guy with more balls than I have, but I'll happily pile on. It's always hard to pick a good line from behind the wheel, but it looked like he usually picked the worst possible line (and that's what spotters are for). Oh, and then he tried to go up sideways.

Two things:

1. I agree that the driving sucked.
2. I've seen several videos of that trail segment and it just looks tough. Big rocks, bigger holes and if it's not muddy or dusty then it's loose and just slips.

...okay one more thing: the driving in all the other videos sucked too. I'd like to see one person air down and try it a little slower and more deliberate.

If you guys wanna see other people/rigs try it, just type in "yellow jacket tahuya" into youtube.

The camera girl sounds like a long day...

I think I accidentally linked Part 3 twice...but Part 4 is just this guy getting winched out. I'll give the camera girl props for having a steady hand and keeping the camera aimed in the right place.

...but you see what I mean about the size of the rocks and holes, huh? I think the first clip with the Jeep didn't really do much to show the scale of the obstacles.

 

[Boaz]

Yes. I still think if it was dry, an LR3 could get up it.

 

[Houm_WA]

I know I wouldn't mess with it until after I installed RS Sliders!

well..that's about it for the grand.. the rubicons had heavy d. axels factory installed which helps.. I had a chance to crawl in Grand Cherokee couple of times.. LR3 would have much better shot on that.. after deflating the tires to minimum of course

 

[Houm_WA]

I'm not thinking that Grand Cherokee is stock. Who knows what's going on under that thing...

 

[zbysiu23]

it is not, yet in 90% of cases guys keep the factory joints and axels , do the lifts sway bar disconnects maybe lockers etc etc....(and still forget to air down..)
