Thank you for your comments. We are from Nashville. We will have to check out Talladega. Thanks for the tip.

@@hardrockjeep right on it’s pretty small for National Forest standards but it’s still cool

I was running 37" BFG KM2's on Hutchinson Rock Monsters aired down to probably 12-15 psi. I have front and rear lockers but on a trail like this put it in 4 low and keep steady momentum up and down the hills to keep your tires from losing traction. Sway Bar most surely was disconnected. I don't recall using my lockers.

I don’t exactly recall but it was probably 2-3 hours. You might call the ranger district and ask them. You also want to know if it is open. They were closing it when wet.

@@hardrockjeep K thanks! We'll call before we head out. We're taking ATVs

Well, a Gladiator is a Jeep so it should have no problem. There are no drop offs so departure angle is not an issue. The trail is narrow and most trucks are wider than our vehicles. I just would not go when it is real wet. The forest service tries to close it when it is wet. And that keeps it fun.

@Hard Rock Jeep thanks gor the info. I am new to jeeping and just don't want to bite off more than i can chew. Thanks

Gladiator’s not truck

@1234597114 yes it is, it's classified as a mid sized truck.

Check out TrailsOffRoad app. There are a bunch of easy trails in the north Georgia mountains. Flat lands like SE GA and FL don’t have a lot of documented Jeep trails but just start taking roads to places you have never taken a car and you will be surprised at how wandering in a Jeep can be a blast. And you know you can get thru most anything you come across. Enjoy your Jeep.

Thinking the same thing

hope he didnt cause that john

"Hope we didn't cause that somehow.." 😂😂

Call the Forest Service office there. They do close the trail when it is wet to keep people from tearing it up. I completely concur with that. It is a blast driving it with its steepness and not have to winch all day.

We ran pretty much all of them. Here is a link to my gps breadcrumb trail. www.gaiagps.com/public/zpoJejLMsIPbeevScocZlrXV You may need Gaia GPS app to see this but I believe they have a free version for iPhones. (Everyone with a Jeep needs Gaia.)

Looks like y'all ran all of them except for the actual Badge of Honor trail which is 93B. It's there. Y'all just missed it somehow. 93B is one of the toughest trails I've ever been on. I've been trail riding/rock crawling in Jeeps for over 20 years. If you ever go back to run 93B, make sure your winch is working. You will need it if you plan to complete 93B. There are 4 rock gardens and multiple rock steps from 2-5 feet high with no bypass around them. If the ground is the least bit wet, you might consider another day to try it.

@@deepsouth4x488 That very well may be. We were looking for the rock garden but never found it. It was a blast anyway. You never know what to expect on the Badge of Honor trails. I have run 28 of them. Oddly, about the only way you know what trail to run in some places is to look at the badge itself, as it shows the trails. When I compare the trail layout on the badge with my GPS tracks, it looks like we ran the trails they suggested. Where was the portion you are talking about?

@@hardrockjeep the way we got to 93B is we entered Beasley Knob at the Blue Rock Entrance. Of the 2 trails at that entrance, take the one on the right. I think it's 93A. We were on 93A for about 8-10 minutes then we turned left onto 93B. You'll know you're on 93B once you get to the first rock garden. The rock gardens start small and get bigger and longer as you climb. It's very tough so be careful. Beasley Knob is my first Badge trail. We have a trip planned to Windrock in April to conquer the 3 there. We have been talking about a Stoney Lonesome trip sometime this year as well.

@@deepsouth4x488 Thanks. I have YT videos of both Windrock and Stony Lonesome. 16 is a hot mess if you slide in a gully down the center. Go when it is dry. 26 is easy, 51’s only challenge is going to the lookout working around trees. Short wheelbase would help. I have a PSC ram assist that works great. SL is fun. Enjoy.

A buddy and I ran it solo in early 2020. It was virtually buggy territory then. I was well set up with 4” lift and 37’s but unless there has been grading (which I am not saying they should or should not) I would be prepared to winch and possible body damage. It was not what I would consider muddy (for Tennessee) when I was there but if it is, be prepared for a slog. Edit: I am referring to trail 16. All the others are doable in a stock Jeep.

I certainly would not attempt 16 with anything other than a highly modified Jeep or a buggy. I think 51 would be fine for a GC, just plan on walking down to the overlook vs. driving. 26 might be ok as well, depending on your set up and desire for some challenge.

@@hardrockjeep thanks. May have to look into buying something that we don't care about getting some dents and dings.

Stoney Lonesome has quite a number of trails, three of which are Badge of Honor trails.

I am not sure you want to take on too much with just rear wheel drive. I am sure you will have a blast just going to the park and trying things out. There are plenty of trails you should do fine on. Go find your limits and your Jeep’s limits. Generally speaking you can always back up and turn around.

J D, that is an interesting comment. I appreciate that you want to see more. As you can tell, I am not selling anything so "views" are not my objective. Though views do mean people are getting something from it. My objective is to give people enough flavor for what they can expect and frankly, hope that they get out there themselves and enjoy their Jeeps and nature. I recently ran and filmed Beasley Knob in Northern Georgia. My buddy said my first cut on the video was too long. I have not yet published it but will take another look and keep your thoughts in mind. If you will subscribe, you will get notification that it is published. I would appreciate your return comments.

All were run west to east, in the order of the title. This week looks like a good dry week to run these trails. Enjoy!

Thank you very much

This was filmed on US Forest service road 30340 in the Bridger Teton NF Jackson Ranger District. Get your MVUM from the ranger station if you do not have an on line system like Gaia. It is open to high clearance 4x4 from May to November.

@@hardrockjeep I'm going to be taking my 1996 4runner. I'm not stranger to off roading. But I'll definitely get a map. Hopefully by the time I leave I'll have a proper set of A/T tires on the truck. Other than that it will be stock.

A stock 4wd will be fine. It is more beautiful than challenging. Forest Service rules say that you have to have a motor vehicle use map in your possession when you run their trails. I would subscribe to the Gaia app and you will have access to thousands of great trails and be legit.

Shadow Mountain Road is extremely rugged and not good for RVs. The road has gotten much worse since 2017. Best use is for rugged 4x4 camping only or bike in camping. charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/shadow-and-toppings-vault-toilets This is a link to donate for pit toilets and other improvements to Shadow Mountain Camping Area

Sorry for the late reply. I ran these with BFG 37” and 4” ARB lift with BP51 shocks. I have Hutchinson Rock Monster bead locks and ran these at about 12psi.

@@hardrockjeep how do you like the bp51's? I love the adjustable rebound they have, debating going with them. JL rubicon right?

I have a 2016 JKUR Hard Rock with an ARB BP51 4” lift, 37” BFG KM2’s, Hutchinson Rock Monster bead locks. I ran these trails at 15psi. I have a PSI Big Bore power steering and oversized brakes. Plus other stuff but this is the performance stuff.

@@hardrockjeep Sounds like a nice rig.

That would have made it significantly easier when we took our H2 through it!

I see that! WTHeck! Totally unnecessary. I noticed SOB Hill is a lot smoother, now, too.
