Most DANGEROUS Trail In WINDROCK PARK Trail 21

Today we run Trail 21 for the first time and wow where we shocked at the Level of this trail.

You should do a detailed video of the blue XJ. Me likey. Sounds like a V6 haha

[@gageboysgarage6059]

it’s an ls v8 but we will do a video

[@rustystuff7859]

That was awesome. That trail was ass kicker after ass kicker, yall killed it good times.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

thanks for watching!!

[@y0rd148]

Man 21 is a fun trail. After that first main obstacle. Too much risk IMO. Yeah you can use the winch as a safety to prevent a rig from rolling over but you’ll still need some good spotting. After that the trail gets fun and technical lol

[@gageboysgarage6059]

We will definitely do this trail again

[@13overland]

What axles are you running? Got an mj and an xj I'm wanting to put tons under

[@gageboysgarage6059]

05 up super duty axles in our opinion there is nothing better

[@moejr14]

How’s that doubler holding up?

[@gageboysgarage6059]

the doubler has been solid!

Every time I go south and have something fail, it fails on 75 N, usually in Ohio.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

haha yup us too!!

[@craigo6808]

Were you using a kinetic rope to winch off of??? Thats a big no no as those are not designed for heavy static loads

[@gageboysgarage6059]

can you point us toward literature on this, we know not to use a static rope for a kinetic extraction but I have not seen on any of our rope materials not to use a kinetic rope for a static pull. would be good to learn more if you have the sources

@@gageboysgarage6059 sure… www.donaghys.com.au/file_uploads/fact-sheets/Kinetic_Energy_Tow_Rope_Fact_Sheet_Oct2017.pdf. Think of it almost like steel vs synthetic line…if the let’s say the hook/flatlink fails, now you have a highly loaded slingshot instead of a system that just falls to the ground. If you do some light googling you’ll see most agree not to use it. Otherwise nice video, good job getting everyone through, that’s a tough trail for sure 🤘🏽

@@gageboysgarage6059 Yeah that's a big no-no! Never ever mix static and stretch!! Think of it this way, imagine you have a 3/4" steel D-ring on the end of a large rubber band (your kinetic rope), what happens when you stretch it hard and let it go...It flies off with a ton of stored energy! Kinetic ropes store and release thousands of pounds of energy, that's how they work. Never static line pull with a kinetic/recovery rope, it's a recipe for disaster! Your winch rope does NOT stretch, your kinetic does...Not a compatible pair, ever...
