37” BFG KM3 tires on 17x9 KMC Machete Crawl Beadlocks. We now have 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires. Thanks!

@@LJ_AF 2 inch spacer lift?

@@mattdonaldson4439 2.5” Teraflex ST2 spring lift. 5.13 Yukon gears. Chromoly shafts all around. Rockslide engineering sliders with extra skids. Warn zeon 10s winch.

@LJ_AF Sweet ride man. I have the same Jeep. Warn 10s Zeon. Spacer lift with 37sx20. Going to get rid of the 20s though. Was going to do 37s with 18s . Shopping for that now and came across yours

@@mattdonaldson4439 try to go with a 17” rim. Way more availability and they will be cheaper. You will also have more side wall on your tires so it will wheel way better.

Your mom sounds weak and lame.

It was definitely comical looking back.

We watch this back and laugh at how inexperienced we were. My anxiety was awful that day. I promise we’ve improved a lot. lol.

Thanks man. It was a good sounding car for sure!

Comp grind

I’ve heard that 16 is an absolute beast right now. SxS’s have it rutted out super bad. I’d recommend 37’s but be prepared to scrub your belly in the ruts for sure. I agree. Wranglers are where it’s at!

@@LJ_AF man it is RIGHT on the limit. If you take a Rubicon extreme recon and swap the 35s for 37s you get a breakover angle of 28.5. if you lift a Cherokee Trailhawk 2 inches and put on 31.5 inch tires you get a breakover angle of 29. 32s on the Cherokee Trailhawk will get you to 29.8° . Totally maxed out with a 3 inch lift ( which many people don't do because of CV joint issues , you'd be at 31.8° breakover) . It's not all about breakover but just using that as a general guideline. So if I had 31.5 in tires on my Jeep I would roughly equal the break over of a four-door Wrangler with 37s. It would definitely equal a four-door Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon with the 35 swap to 37s. It's hard to believe but that 10 in shorter wheelbase on the Cherokee Trailhawk is a big help as far as breakover angle goes. Now obviously the approach angle isn't going to be anywhere close to the Wrangler it's going to be behind by at least 5 if not 10°. But anyway when I watch these videos I'm basically looking for belly flops and bumper drags. If I see a Wrangler drag it's front bumper that's bad news for a Cherokee Trailhawk on that trail lol. I think I'm out about a 35° approach right now. I could do some bumper chopping and things like that and probably make it better but realistically the best you're probably going to get out of a Cherokee Trailhawk is maybe 40° approach. Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon is 47.4 lol. You're never going to catch them lol. Basically I'm using the Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon to emulate most modified Wranglers (so is Jeep I guess ).

@@off-roadingexplained8417 we just 16 and it’s rutted REALLY badly. It had just rained, so it was extra sloppy… but it took 7 hours and multiple winch spots. A JK on Tons and 40’s that was there said he’d never seen it so bad

Trust me, he gives plenty of “side seat” commentary too. He just edits it out. 🤣

Awesome. Have fun and let us know which trails you end up hitting!

@@LJ_AF we ended up doing 22, 26, 27, 51… and 16. 16 cost me a tail-light 😂

@@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson Awesome! How bad was 16? I’ve heard that it is pretty bad right now.

@@LJ_AF it was pretty bad! Took 7 hours lol and we didn’t start until 6pm

Stealth Charcoal powdercoat.

Not without winching the stair steps.

I’ve got ARB air lockers on my LJ and the relay always goes out. Not sure why but the air lines, etc are bound to fail. I like an e-locker too.

Yeah. It’s lifted, geared and on 37’s with bead locks now. 16 isn’t an issue for it at all.

Stealth charcoal powder coating.

We live in Seneca/Clemson area. Look up Palmetto State Jeep Club on Facebook. The White Jeep is definitely not stock anymore.

@@LJ_AF Sweet,I live in Simpsonville!

Thanks! I know we were rookies then and probably sounded ridiculous at the time but we wanted anyone new to off-roading to see that it can be done.

Yep. Some small rock obstacles and some tree stumps back then. It’s really short to be honest but Panther Rock is cool.

It definitely wasn’t the smartest decision but we made it. No damage on 16. The yellow Jeep got a little bit of damage on 51 but he did surprisingly well on the 31” duellers. We just did 16 again a couple of weeks ago with a lift, 37’s and bead locks. Definitely easier this time around and no winching.

Yep. Trail 16. There is a bypass for that section now.

BBK shorty headers and a Mac H pipe.

Thanks. The valve train is really quiet. Did Comp, Lunati or Cam Motion grind that cam?

I believe it was 800-900.

Interesting. It’s been a while since we’ve been but we’ve been wanting to go back to see the Elk.

Stock bottom end. I sold the car and miss it all the time!

@@LJ_AF do you think that a stage 3 trick flow cam would work?

Yes it was the first time in many years. And in a stock Jeep that was over 50k. Lol!

We have been a couple of time since this video. It was real bad last year. Now they have graded everything and it’s a lot better. You would have hated it last year. Look our group up on Facebook. Palmetto State Jeep club.

@@LJ_AF alright

I drove it last week. I live in knoxville. I have a 2003 tj rubicon 33 with 3 inch lift . It was tuff and washed out right now . I mean it is spring to be expected. But no running cable

Nah. Everyone acts different in stressful situations. The Jeep is more capable now and 16 is easy.

@Marty Altizer I agree. But he went everywhere we did. On those 31” Duellers!

@@LJ_AF is the white rubicon stock?

@@martyaltizer2431 yes at the time it was. Now it’s lifted and on 37” M/T with KMC beadlocks. Much easier. lol

​@@LJ_AFJust goes to show how capable a stock Jeep is.

@@johnspurrier0001 agreed! I’m way more comfortable in something lifted and with bigger tires which is what the jeep has now. Thanks for watching and sticking with it. Lol

First time at Windrock in a $50k+ daily driven vehicle. I'd say a little. Now it's lifted, geared and on 37" beadlocks. We wanted people to see our real reactions. lol

It’s at Windrock Park. It’s around $30 per person per day. The place is huge and totally worth it!

the country's largest privately owned offroad park 73,000 acers $27 a day per person, or $109 a year per person

Flowmaster Super 44’s.

Glad you liked it. It’s definitely a rough and beautiful place. Our Jeep is lifted and on 37” beadlocks now. Certainly more capable now.

It’s a Flow Tech Induction cam. Ed Curtis.

I would definitely go with the Super 44’s again. Amazing tone and good flow.
