When one does a lift job on a jeep, I personally think 35 inch tires are the way to go. Because every inch matters. 35’s will work fine on a stock set up and your transmission. If you get bigger tires you will have to re-gear your Jeep.

Great to see another video from you guys. I too love that little place for the same reasons. I shot a short piece on my channel jeepNdirt (no camping overlanding video) there with my wife on our fall trip last year and you're right. Small place but fun little trails. Dan is AWESOME and Earnie is just cool. lol. Another point you made which for newbies I'd pre-warn as well: That incline at your 5:17 minute mark is definitely one that makes any passenger cringe, and coming down on the back side actually showed up to 31 degrees on my gauge. But those views are INCREDIBLE. Not trying to plug too much here, but my drone shots from there really highlight how beautiful that little mountain area is. And if you can catch the colors changing around 2nd or 3rd week in October you'll be rewarded with views of a lifetime. Good stuff. God Bless.

Great points. I completely forgot to put the drone up until our descent, but have done it in previous videos. It is amazing how nice those views are. I hiked up the big hill to get the videos.
