Pretty impressive obstacles. Definitely on my list!

[@XYoverland]

If you do and allow others to tag along I’d be honored to! Love your videos. I want to replicate your sway bar tests on my Xterra.

[@TinkerersAdventure]

@@XYoverland thank you. I’m interested to see how the xterra performs. It has a much shorter spindle compared to Toyota IFS and the leaf springs are already stiffer

[@illgazillion]

This video was quite tranquil Thank you

[@disgracedremembrance]

This trail is definately stock friendly. I went up switzer lake and down union springs in an 85 toyota pick up completely stock. No problems at all and had 0 experience off roading. Very fun trail for beginners. Enough fun stuff to not be boring but they all have passes to go around if you want.

[@4WDisLife]

You summed it up pretty well. Haha

[@rappsks]

I went up Union springs on a stock Tacoma off road. going up union is more sporty lol

[@poweredbyrice5708]

Love all your videos so nice and chill to watch you have a great voice and video style!

[@4WDisLife]

Thank you so much!!

[@billveder1071]

Great video! I really liked hearing about the individual vehicle specs.

[@4WDisLife]

thank you. I included that to help viewers get a better feel for their own vehicles

[@XYoverland]

Great video. I agree with you on tire size not adding a whole lot other than clearance. I have 32” tires and no locker and I’ve never had a problem on those obstacles. Type of tires and airing down makes a huge difference though.

[@4WDisLife]

Yes, it is really an art of balance.

[@harolddenton6031]

On last weekend in september of this year i went from flagpole round down union sorings road after sunset in the fog. It took me 2 hours as i was having to get out of my colorado zr2 using my flashlight to see what line i needed to take to traverse the rock ledges. It had rained for several daus rsrlier that week so i had to go through about 5 long mud holes that were over 15 plus yards long and about 3 feet deep. Just hit the double licking differential button on my dash and easily drove through those mudholes. I have 34" tall tires (bfgoodrich all terrain ko2 size 285/75R18) which have good traction in mud and on rocky terrain.

[@roadtrippingdrone5139]

I am in NC I gotta check this out soon

[@motopilgrim]

We took my 2WD school bus over Flagpole to Meadow Knob for a buddy’s bachelor party. Had 12 dudes pushing it back up the steep pitch to Flagpole in the morning, but we made it. If you don’t have the budget to be an overland nerd, just pretend that you’re a Guatemalan bus driver and get it done!! 🎉

[@4WDisLife]

good points!

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

…and here I thought you were just in my neck of the woods! 😂 Hope the family is well.

[@4WDisLife]

Ahh Thank you sir. Are you west coast?

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

@@4WDisLife Nope, northern Virginia. Flagpole is roughly 90 minutes away.

[@4WDisLife]

@@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures ohh. I see what you meant now. Yea. It’s a nice trail for a good time

[@seankristofer3331]

I’m guessing the guy in the white 4 runner wishes he dropped all the mods in a off road to bet the rear locker over the SR5

[@JacksonWen-o9j]

do you have plan to go here again?这周

[@Ulghart]

Where can I find info about this offroad community?

[@JackwDyles-zu3jt]

I'm in Tennessee and have a 2013 Jeep wrangler sport 2-Door with a set of 285 75 16 AT tires and a winch and no lift other than the AT tires. Would I be alright on this tria. Outstanding video l

[@4WDisLife]

You’d be completely fine. Thanks for the kind words!

[@RatFabTacoma]

how busy does this trail get? i’m thinking of going labor day weekend but won’t if it’s going to be crowded.

[@4WDisLife]

for the time we went, it was not bad, we only encountered one other group on top of the knob.

[@SPPTA]

The union springs approach is quite a bit more sporty

[@gfieldlax1]

I’ve got a stock 2017 outback with 245 65 r17 Firestone AT2 tires. My buddies think I can make it but I have never been up, what do you think?

[@4WDisLife]

I think with the right lines and spotter, you’d be okay. But definitely take it slow and don’t send it.

[@gfieldlax1]

@@4WDisLife ha so don’t do it solo late at night in the rain this weekend to meet my buddies at the top???

[@4WDisLife]

@@gfieldlax1 I would not recommend it. But it’s ur call haha

[@christopherharper5542]

I made it up the Dunkle hollow side with my 2013 subaru wrx. 2 in lift and 215/65/16 Falken wildpeaks and a Primitive racing skid plate.

[@harolddenton6031]

I would not recommend for you to try driving that wrx on union springs road. ​@@christopherharper5542

[@jamesqual]

Would love to do this in my GX but the body kit would not fair well on the rocky hill sadly

[@frodobe_tbaggin3146]

You think the stock tires on 5th gen would be no problem for the trail

[@4WDisLife]

I think so

[@leesonoutdoors]

I live here I can say my stock 2019 tacoma trd pro does just fine out that end of the trail lol

[@legomaniac18]

I have an 02 tundra with 35s and 6 inch lift but its 2wd, would i be able to do the trail? I have no experience. Does anyone have experience with peters mill run as well?

[@georgetony1000]

Nice video . I wanna do this sometime this year. Do you have address for the entry point where you start

[@4WDisLife]

Sorry I don't have them anymore, but it is widely available on the interweb with a few searches.

Was this footage taken while on the Stone Camp trail?

[@4WDisLife]

Sorry I am not familiar with the names of the trail.

[@kenvincent19]

Is this harder than peters mill run?

[@4WDisLife]

I think it may be just a bit harder but not by much.

[@JasonVanPatten]

I just did Peters Mill two weekends ago, and I'm a complete neophyte. Literally have never wheeled before. Followed my buddy in his Rubicon, while I was in my new GMC 2400HD AT4X. No prep, didn't even air the tires down (that was a mistake) and I crushed the trail with ease. Just watching this video, I'd imagine because I'm a newbie, I might have some more trouble with this trail in comparison. Assuming the beast even fit. ;-)

[@kenvincent19]

@@JasonVanPatten went up to flagpole knob during winter. With snow, it was pretty fun

[@JasonVanPatten]

In what? That's kinda the key here.

[@kenvincent19]

@JasonVanPatten 2013 good ol tacoma long bed. Lifted 2/1 with AT tires. Did ok, not as simple as Peters mill but pretty fun

[@mannymyers6238]

Is this a one way road going up and down?

[@4WDisLife]

I don’t believe so, I have seen people going both ways, but the trail is not wide so do be careful.

[@billybee4664]

The maximal a Hyundai Santa cruz can handle. Great views, as well as Reddish Knob across the way.

[@billybee4664]

The Flagpole knob trail, Not skidmore or Union camp.

[@wayned3137]

Everything is so damn far from NYC.

[@4WDisLife]

Yea man.

[@raymondclark1785]

People in NC complain that the Trans NJ Trail is so far from them

[@panagiotisf7228]

The truck on 35s looks like it has terrible control arm geometry and no travel. Thats the problem. Ive done stuff like this in a stock 3g taco no lift just tires.

[@ksomal3746]

The fifth gen that got hung up on that section lost its momentum stopping for the woman that was moving.

[@MKAK47]

A lot of drivers especially out here in the west buy huge tires but have no idea how to drive.

[@4WDisLife]

unfortunately it takes people time to learn, hopefully.

[@MKAK47]

You think that would occur when they had a stock vehicle, not with 20k sunk into it.

[@4WDisLife]

@@MKAK47 lol they learn faster when invested lol

[@harolddenton6031]

No way i am buyung a vehicle that kacks borh trar and front locking differentials. I bought a 2024 coloradp zr2 back at end of june. Those locking differentiska makw a big difference when traction is not good like on that 4runner sr5 vehicle. It ia ashamed to have pur lots od monet un upgrades to not be able to go 4 wheeling good.
