'Llangollen Steps' and 'Bastard Lane' Jeeps Greenlaning in Wales

[@chrissudle4208]

Scratchy lanes are a no-go for me, cant afford to keep repairing the damage. Great vid as always guys, keep it up!

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

We don't do too much damage and certainly nothing that wouldn't polish out. Just best to not polish too often and wear the paint thin.

[@StreetsandTracks]

Great video! Such great views from that day!😀 We can not wait to get out and about again as a group! This video did not help at all but was fun to watch back, such a shame we didn’t stay for the night and see Chris finally sleep in a tent and not the Jeep!🤣

[@CandSEvo7]

Another awesome video , we had a great time and cant wait to get back out, looking forward to part 2 :)

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Yes, that was a good trip. Out in a couple of weeks - maybe sooner 🤷‍♂️

[@trailcrest3543]

Really enjoying your channel. Thanks for the effort you guys put into it. A great looking campsite too, one for my list 👍 I'd love to come along one day in my Land Cruiser.

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Thank you😊 Yeah, it was a nice peaceful campsite. What part of the country are you from?

[@trailcrest3543]

@@ModifiedJeepsUK I love the chilled vibes. I'm from Reading, Berkshire. Some of my local day trips include Devils Punchbowl, Surrey area and Salisbury Plains. My true love is Wales 👌

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

@@trailcrest3543 Wales is one of our 'go to' places and always great. We were also set to go to Salisbury Plains but lockdown 3.0 happened.

[@JKoverland]

Wonderful video 😊

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Nice video! What a beautiful place

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Thanks 👍 Yeah Wales is so nice. One of our fave places to go.

[@jimbob3165]

Nice video,scratches will polish out.👍

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Thanks, haha very true.

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

Great video guys! I need to go to wales and try these lanes

[@ChrisRoberts_actionsports]

Good times I’m missing our mini adventures!

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

We are too. Editing the videos brings back the memories though 🙂

Always fancied a Jeep Wranger Overland JL. Besides them looking great and being a capable offroader, the lady and I always end up in the peaks everyweekend doing wildlife photography. One of these would be perfect although I'm not so sure about the fuel economy and reliability?

[@chrissudle4208]

I own a 2018 Rubicon JL Diesel. (@Rexy_The_Rubicon) on Instagram... (Shameful plug). Fuel economy is what you expect from driving a car with the aero dynamics of a brick however if you drive like I do and take it easy you will get low 30s. When I first got the Jeep (pre Lockdown 2021, I was getting 32/33mpg. This was from longer journeys travelling to off-road areas. As of right this minute im sitting at 27mpg as the only driving were doing is to the shops and back which is far from ideal for a diesel. Low 30s for me is acceptable given the weight and shape of the jeep. If you dont have a heavy foot and take it chill then you will be fine. Reliability so far I cant complain. From what ive heard they have a good record with only minor issues like door seels cracking, which is a pretty cheap job to fix. Hope this helps but if not, feel free to reach out on insta.

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

I think it would be the perfect tool for the job. The overland offers decent trim levels too. Fuel economy is decent (until you start heavily modifying them) around 30mpg depending on engine choice and driving styles etc. The reliability is pretty good too. It's a new (3 years old) model and has had its issues, but overall reliability has always been very good with Jeeps.

[@JKoverland]

Another great lane by the looks of things

[@eversleyowl]

As usual a great video. Guess this took place a while back given the leaves on the trees. What size tires do the various Jeeps run and what about the Jimny? Looked like that struggled a bit with one of the steps. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to part two.

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Haha yes, this was filmed mid September (do you remember being able to go out?😅) Leaves and t-shirts! On our Jeep and the green one the tyres are 37" and more than capable. 35" on the black and the white Jeep - as for the Jimny, I'm not sure but they are tiny haha. What doesn't;t come across on video very well is just how steep that hill was before adding steps into the equation. After the intro at about 4:15 you can see Simon stumbling down the hill and then Aneta's feet at an angle. Gives you some idea. It was very difficult to walk up and down.

[@eversleyowl]

37”, real monsters then. Can you run those on a JL on standard axles or have they been upgraded. Thinking about putting 35” on my TJ, but everything I read suggested I need to upgrade to chromoly axles to do that.

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

@@eversleyowl You can if it's the rubicon edition, which has different gearing and stronger parts. Otherwise I'd recommend 35"s for other JLs. As for TJ, I think 33" is good enough for anything we have in the UK. We have 33" on the CJ too.

[@craiglangley9224]

Keep these vids coming and i might even bite the bullet and buy a jeep

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

You won't regret it 😀

[@jasonpomfret6336]

Great video guys. Aneta has the right idea though Corona beer Is best especially when ice cold 🍺🤙🤠🏕️. How's that trailer doing in tow looked like 1 hang up but nothing major in guessing?

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Thanks Jason. Yes we agree, ice cold Corona with lime is perfect on a nice summer evening (this video was filmed in the summer). The trailer seems to tow quite well for a heavy trailer. I hope our will be good too, although the point of the trailer for us, is for a base camp while we go off to find more lanes.

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Did you get your trailer?

[@jasonpomfret6336]

@@ModifiedJeepsUK not yet waiting on the guy to get back from his trip so can view it. Find another 1 looks similar to your buddies on this video too. So currently waiting up see them buy 🤣 How's your 1 coming along

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

@@jasonpomfret6336 haha it's not coming along at all yet. I think we will be making a start very soon though. Work was so busy while we were open. Lockdown will give us some time on the trailer though. Always too many projects 😂

[@eversleyowl]

Sorry to but in, but that answers the point I made I a comment on the trailer video re how you planned to use it. And what about the CJ, or is that below the trailer in the list?

[@luisguerreiro1806]

Nice video. Did the Llangollen steps no longer have one way notice. Ie downhill only?

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

Thanks 🙂 Not when we were there. Although, bastard lane did (which is featured in the second video just out now), so we were only able to go down hill. Unfortunately we have seen video clips on FB of people going up it recently. I'm sure the one way advice is still currently running.

[@MrPamospurcy]

No.We been there moth ago hillclimb with jeep liberty stock on road tires 265/70 r16.No prob if u have skills.I go try my 4runner stock.

[@tbrooks655]

Air down guys be alot easier to climb rocks etc..

[@ModifiedJeepsUK]

We air down to 18-20psi. The little Jimny had small tyres and the black JK was pulling a heavy trailer up a very steep hill. Otherwise we climbed everything with ease. We recommend airing down to everyone, so much more comfortable too!

[@eversleyowl]

Now has a VR requesting downhill only. ANother iconic lane lost 😓
