Can A Jeep Renegade Keep Up With Jeep Wranglers? HOW DOES HE NOT ROLL???

My buddy Austin brought his Jeep Renegade out with us to Tahuya ORV park in Belfair Washington.
We hit most of the park, with most of the filming on South Loop.
He has a 3.5 inch lift and 30 inch tires on his Renegade.
Along with us per usual, we have Casey and Leah.

I like the look of the Renegade 👍🏼

[@4WDTrek]

It's a very nice looking and capable rig my buddy built

[@PedalsNPetals]

I always thought they looked so weird especially compared to other Jeeps but I am loving mine already 😅

[@4x4adventure_pl]

Offroading is in our blood; it's where we feel most alive and connected to the earth's raw beauty.

[@4WDTrek]

Very true!

[@BlackHawk295]

That was a genuinely impressive display by the Renegade and more so by Austin! Proof that with some skill (and a good spotter) you can get through just about anything XD

[@4WDTrek]

Thats for sure. He definitely pushed it to its limits!!! He did a great job driving that day. Hardly needed a spotter to be honest

[@jacobpipkin3808]

Awesome! I have a renegade sport and I’ve been considering a lift. What brand lift does he have?

[@austinblake2747]

Have the Avid 2" spacers and the Eibach springs

[@TonysTrailHawk]

​@austinblake2747 is that your Renegade?

[@richardjnagle]

I’ve passed stuck Wranglers with my stock Renegade on the trail in Arizona.

[@4WDTrek]

Renegades are pretty awesome and definitely a lot more capable than most think!

[@DIYDad1]

That was absolutely insane. Didn’t think a little renegade would impress me as much as this one but that’s a well built little machine! Nicely done mods man. Awesome rig! Definitely need skid plates on that kind of terrain. We don’t have anything like that around here, looked like a ton of fun.

[@4WDTrek]

I agree. I was shocked how well that thing truly did! Surprisingly, I don't think he hit skid plates all day!

[@nathanmccrary87]

@@4WDTrek it’s hard to hit the skid plate with one wheel 6’ off the ground!😂😂

[@4WDTrek]

@@nathanmccrary87 hahaha very accurate! I think at one point in the day, he really did have a rear wheel off the ground that high

[@RR-cm8dr]

Hell i even puckered up for a minute! Just bought a renegade and I'm extremely happy with it so far.... safe travels. Thanks

[@4WDTrek]

Love watching those things and what they can do! So capable!

[@joshua7426]

Same, just bought a Renegade myself. I was curious about some basic dirt roading, so was nice to see it legitimately doing some trails.

[@dealy9268]

My wife's Renegade Sport goes everywhere my Wrangler goes.

[@4WDTrek]

Thats awesome. It surprises me how amazing that traction control works

[@OverlandArtist]

Great stuff, Guys! Love that 3 wheel motion. Haha

[@4WDTrek]

Thanks man! That renegade did so well out there! I was surprised!

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Yep. Just like the Trailhawk Cherokee. It just does it and it doesn't matter about the flex. Range Rover said they did tests 20 years ago and found it didn't matter. They ditched solid axles and went with independent suspension. Imagine the renegade with 3 times the crawl ratio (ok, 2.92) and a rear locker too. That's the Cherokee Trailhawk.

[@4WDTrek]

For traction and capabilities wise, I believe that. IFS and IRS in that thing was perfectly fine. In pucker values though, teetering on three wheels and having a corner drop down is crazy scary. I will take my flex of the solid axles just so I don't feel that corner dropping! So crazy.

[@bramos7398]

That was very impressive 🤙🏽. I want to roll with u guys soo bad .. lol but I need to get my rig back .

[@4WDTrek]

Get that thing running and roll out there with us bud!

On my 2nd Renegade Trailhawk they are so fun.. own over 18 jeeps.. My Comanches and the Rene are best

[@4WDTrek]

Dang bud. Thats a lot of jeeps!

[@Nitromike555]

Crazy Renegade 😄

[@4WDTrek]

Right? Super capable rig!

[@someonenamedtyler]

The renegade really held its own! Huge credit to the driver though. The less capable your vehicle, the more capable the driver has to be

[@4WDTrek]

Thats for sure. He's a fantastic driver for sure!

[@jarrettboston1]

Did he still have tractions control and electronic stability control off? It sounds like it is struggling. I haven’t lifted mine renegade or put bigger tires. I always turn off the TC and ESC and put it in manual shift. I do not have the trailhawk though.

[@4WDTrek]

I honestly couldn't tell you what settings he had on. I do know it was in a mode where it mimicks 4 low though. It purposefully drops the rpms and spins the tires slower to be more controlled.

[@RRdispr]

Do Renegade's need transfer/ diferencial and transmission breather extension tubes while going through deep water/ mud?

[@4WDTrek]

I would suggest it highly.

[@GreenMasterMike]

This is a whole new way of off roading 3 wheel off roading Renagades Rule I'm sold 2016 Trailhawk next week here we come

[@4WDTrek]

Those renegades are absolute weapons. I'm kinda jealous of his rig. It's super well done

[@apache_gaming_network]

I need his spotlights and bumper. Just bought me a Trailhawk

[@4WDTrek]

Hit him up on his Instagram. Linked in the description.

[@Day-dreamer488]

Can we have a list of mods and what engine that thing had? Wondering if i should get one and i live in Hawaii where the roads are gnarly.

[@4WDTrek]

For a more in depth info on it, hit up my buddy the owner. Instagram is linked in the description. Renegade_Sasquatch

[@LeandroDaminelli]

How you did the 3.5" lift without damaging the CV Axles? As far as I know it can handle 1.5" max without premature failure

[@4WDTrek]

This is my buddies jeep. I suggest reaching out to him on instagram for more direct answers. Renegade_Sasquatch

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

This is about a 35.2 degree breakover angle on this Renegade lol. Way more than that if it picks a wheel up lol. He did a 3.5 inch lift and gained another inch going to 30s from 28s , right ? If so, it's 35.2° breakover! This is nuts! This is probably 4 door Wrangler with 40s equivalent on break over. Maybe even more than that.

[@4WDTrek]

Yeah for sure! The renegade is an absolute weapon! So much more capable than I ever thought

[@mrobertson188]

I have a renegade trail hawk I've never been stuck in mud sand or dirt

[@4WDTrek]

Those things are super capable in all environments!

[@TRDGE]

Pretty sure Top Gun Maverick taught us that it’s the pilot not the machine 🤙🏼

[@4WDTrek]

Quite accurate. Also great movie

[@PedalsNPetals]

Renegade basically a RAZOR with a jeep body 😅

[@4WDTrek]

Haha pretty much.

It's even crazier to know that it's not even the Trailhawk version and it's able to conquer those spots very well.

I know right? Renegades are pretty amazing. They are super capable rigs. Driver helps a lot too.

Idk about fraction, but less price, new for new!

[@johnfrench6144]

Was that renegade not a trailhawk then?

[@4WDTrek]

It is not a trailhawk renegade

[@stephenvanzant004]

I just bought a 4x4 trailhawk renegade, and everyone is giving me a hard time about it being a girl car 😭 Lol

[@4WDTrek]

Get that thing on a trail and blow them away! Or show them this video and prove that it can hang with the big boys!

[@Shrimp_Insurance]

Nah, Libertys are girl jeeps not the Renegade. Hell I've seen more women driving Wranglers around here than men

[@johnfrench6144]

Nope it's a proper little jeep , they are just jealous

[@SirHeadly84]

They're just salty because they think they have to spend 50 or 60k to have a decent offroader. The renegade is certainly no wrangler and has its limitations. But, if you are rock crawling or don't need a lot of flex (because the renegade has ZERO.. it becomes a teeter totter. Lol) then you'll be fine and have a great time

[@efone3553]

In this video he did not have the trailhawk version of the renegade. Yours is a better offroad than his. My trailhawk has never left me stranded in 8 yrs of offroading. Their is only one thing you need to change on your TH and that is to get a good set of all terrain tires. I have Cooper discovery AT3 on mine. Also get a chuck for tire pressure and a good air pump. Don't use one that plugs into your cigarette lighter, they will blow your fuses. Find one that uses your AC 120 outlet in the backseat because that outlet is wired to your battery directly. The most important thing I learned about offloading in my TH is knowing the appropriate tire pressure for the terrain your on and also knowing what your TH can and cannot handle safely. Your TH can tackle some truly scary terrain if you learn how to use it.

L cameraman, purposely staying off the back of the renegade. I wanna know if my latitude is capable! I didnt see the trailhawk logo on the side, now im just left in confusion.

The renegade is modified a bit. Has a small lift and slightly larger tires. But other than that, it's all driver skill that got him through it all!
