Great video, I like that you give great off roading tips too, like putting on the both front and rear lockers while going down Heart Attack Hill for more control of the rig.

[@JeepAdventures]

You are welcome... When are you going to do the trail?

[@ajstar89]

Love that trail’! I think I was the first and only that I know if 6G bronco that’s been through it. It’s a good time 👍

[@JeepAdventures]

Nice, I hope more have done it. How did it make out at the squeeze?

[@Ari_EXS]

Anza-Borregonis such a beautiful area. Great video!

[@JeepAdventures]

Thanks Ari

[@maxturgidson568]

Beautiful area? You must love salt mines and landfills. What a sun baked miedero

[@Joshyutah]

Which Jeep from the two do you like the most and why?

[@JeepAdventures]

Let's see what people like. The Overlander, or The Rock Crawler

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

@@JeepAdventures I like the diesel

[@trailship]

So knarly! That jl is so wide!

[@JeepAdventures]

Yeah, it was a bit uncomfortable

[@brandonm1881]

I have a Tacoma @ 76in wide, do you think i would make it through that funnel?

[@JeepAdventures]

Is that 76 to center of wheel or full width? My JL at the edge of the Tires is 82 wide

[@scottsnyder8691]

Nice video. I still want to do this in my Gladiator. Did you have the hill descent control on, or just 4 low using your brakes?

[@JeepAdventures]

I personally don't use crawl control or hill descent. Reason for that is I want full control of the vehicle. I often turn off as much of the computer as possible. Now this isn't the normal as most people would prefer the computer to assist in down hill descents. But on loose down hills like this, that have a lot of articulation, turning your lockers on is a good idea to avoid slipping. Just remember, it is harder to steer with lockers on.

[@JeepAdventures]

When are you all thinking of doing the trail?

[@scottsnyder8691]

@@JeepAdventures I don't have lockers right now anyway. I've use the descent control a couple times in Death Vally and Coyote Flats, but those weren't serious downhills like HH. So I hear you.

[@scottsnyder8691]

@@JeepAdventures Sometime in winter I suppose. No set plans yet, but I'm in San Diego so I need to get this BOH!

[@JeepAdventures]

You will be fine doing this trail without lockers. This is just a way to make it easier.

[@Blue22Gladiator]

How's the squeeze with JT's? Lol I wanna go but this part kinda scares me a little.

[@JeepAdventures]

not going to lie, it is tight. I have seen people stack a bunch of rocks on the one side or get on top and push against the body to keep the mirror or fenders from rubbing.

[@Blue22Gladiator]

@@JeepAdventures yikes. Welp, we'll see what happens when I go there eventually

[@JeepAdventures]

go with a group, and dont be the first. Let them build it up and test it so when it's your turn, you will be good.
