Trailfest 2017 Day 1

[@aussiebevo103]

Awesome rigs, I don't think it would matter what type of MT you had that mud looks greasy as

[@91Bronco]

Hell yeah haha. Some keeps in mud! People out here in Colorado avoid mud at all costs. I’m always romping through it haha

[@b4i4getjr]

Good spotter/ cameraman. All Jeep owners could take a similar driving test before leaving the lot. Looks like a nice day of mud and rocks. Good ol' East coast.

[@terrancesmith1674]

This is just like cresant lakes Colorado only without the huge boulders your truck slides up against as your sliding back down the slope sideways unreal how slippery the rocks get with the silty clay on them

[@williamaltizer5637]

Man those trucks are awesome!! I think i am gonna buy one. Nothing says america quite like jeep.

[@jrs89lxzamora88]

DUDE ON THIS JEEP MIN 2:46 TO 5:25 IS A STRAIGHT ROOKIE

[@metalhead4x448]

I love these 4 doors but they seem very heavy and clumsy on the trails. I have an XJ currently I really like the nimbleness of them.

[@rockyour4x4]

Warlock Gaming this event this year everything was clumsy. There was no control most of the weekend due to the rain for days.

[@25inkslinger]

I know from experience with recording offroad footage that the hills are probably way steeper than they look

[@velazquezjaime149]

with all do recpect but you guys need to air down those tires for better grip

[@rockyour4x4]

jaime velazquez agreed

[@danielluciano6043]

jaime velazquez I agree totally

[@rockyour4x4]

Daniel Lucero guys, Most of these vehicles are running around 8 to 10 psi. The weather on this weekend was just downpours and rain the whole time. No amount of lower tire pressure is going to help. Much lower than that, you will lose all ground clearance.

[@davyjones9595]

It was pretty cool that the camera guy gave some advice to the wheelers...

[@FishingFlip]

man that looks like fun cant find any trails down here like that in florida by me i have a lifted 93 xj lockers and all on 33 MTs

[@rockshockoffroad4x43]

FloGrown Customs where do you live in Florida

[@ricksscalerc2222]

This was great! Looked like an awesome day! All killer jeeps!

[@boatsandjeeps780]

Question. The little 2 door , is that a stock front dana 30 with locker? On 1st hill of video the 2 door has a couple tries and the front axle jumps around little bit when spinning trying get up hill. My question is what is the cause of the front axle/wheels "jump around"? Looks like a front to rear shift real fast instead up and down. Reason I ask is my front axle is stock and does same thing. Especially when turning and spinning at high rpm

[@rockyour4x4]

That is caused by a u-joint style front axleshaft usually.

[@boatsandjeeps780]

@@rockyour4x4 so the fix to that is rcv type axle or goin to 1350 u joints?

[@Tactical_Turtle]

As someone from Tennessee I approve of this.

[@rockyour4x4]

TacticalTurtle thank you

[@Tactical_Turtle]

rockyour4x4, are you guys planning anything soon? I'd love to meet up with you guys. Trying to get ideas for my "rig".

[@rockyour4x4]

TacticalTurtle we will be at Dixie Run in late September.

[@theaztecsun]

What a kick ass trail guide that guy was running all these guys

[@boyeightyz]

ya, some drivers a were a bit nervous, pull back throttle on an uphill attempt...

[@debsbenedetto9545]

Do you guys let your pressures down at all?? They still look fully pumped up?? We have loads of mud here in Southwest Western Australia too, let our tyre pressures down to between 5psi - 15psi and can get up just about anything without spinning the wheels or tearing up the tracks for others. Also another thing i'm curious about, is all you have Jeeps there?? Or was this a specific Jeep Club run?

[@rockyour4x4]

Debs Benedetto these are all running between 5-15 psi actually. I'm sure the ground is much different in Australia.

[@brandonsyatessr.3667]

because jeeps are the best lol

[@greygoose4x46]

When you see you're friends go right up the trail and you struggle ...

[@debsbenedetto9545]

And i just heard you say to keep it in neutral??!!! OMG NEVER ever ever stay in neutral when out playing on rocks or ruts or in mud, you need the engine brake to help you..........keep it in 1st gear, manual or auto and slowly keep going down. :O

[@rockyour4x4]

Debs Benedetto tell me at what point in the video that that is said and I will explain to why.

[@adarshfaridkhan3361]

Sorry to say but by watching this video I can easily say they all are competent drivers so it would be good if keywords warriors dont tell them what to do and what not to...

[@Traulus83]

nice rigs guys,but why you are not using extreme mud tyres for those roads?

[@rockyour4x4]

RC Addict most of these vehicles are driven daily by the owners. An extreme mud tire's advantage off road does not outweigh the poor on road characteristics.

[@Traulus83]

Thats true.I was thinking people are having other cars for daily use

[@theDIGITALperception]

I’m new to 4x4-ing, is there a reason no one disconnected their sway bars? Was it due to the angle of the hill? Thanks!

[@rockyour4x4]

theDIGITALperception those that you see not disconnected are either Rubicon JKs or have Currie or ORO sway bars.

[@theDIGITALperception]

rockyour4x4 ahh cool thanks!

[@coadack5713]

My 02 Subaru Outback sport will drive right up that hill

[@dmoney6633]

Its Ody while being pulled by a Jeep lol

[@JeepMeitei]

Congratulations from Manipur,India

[@bwyattm1]

That guys white Toyota has seen some shit haha. And isn’t it funny that the guys with the old Cherokees were right up and out but the guys with the 400$ apiece beadlock street tiers on their 50,000 dollar jeeps took 10 minuets to climb the same hill. Cherokees for life

[@tylerspellman9571]

Skipped right past the ZJ, what's​ up with that? Must have made it up so easily it made the JK's look bad, lol.

[@rockyour4x4]

Tyler Spellman poor videography on my part! That ZJ is bad A. He just swapped in a front HP44 and 37s on Trailreadys.

looks so muddy! we like rocks out west. cool video guys!

[@rockyour4x4]

Red Rock Crawler we much prefer rocks too!

[@screwymatt]

rockyour4x4 call me crazy but I'm all for mud and trails in the woods!

[@stangtrax]

Question for both of you please. I live in Alabama but travel to Arizona ever year. Is there a good set up for a Rubicon that will be great in Southern mud and good in the Western sand and rocks? Hopefully in two years I can buy a Rubicon. For now I'm trying to learn jeeps on KZbin. I'm leaning more to hill climbing and mud. Of course of road trails etc. I'll be driving it on interstate across country also. Thanks

[@motodiesellife9303]

1:00 power steering pump is clapped or supercharged lol

[@danielluciano6043]

Air down those tires should make it much easier ..

[@CP78]

Excellent video. Big machines with lots of off-road technique

[@sourdirewolf]

Twilight 6 looks good

[@sandrolosi7921]

Most cars have beadlocks ... but i don't see bulging sidewalls ... maybe less PSI had helped ...

[@sandrolosi7921]

However ... great video!

Not considering the momentum while uphill. Get yourself a Defender 90 with a 3.9 L Rover V8 petrol.

[@rockyour4x4]

rodrigojah Superchips Traildash

[@matthewhatton3637]

And have these guys got tires that are good for rocks not mud. Lol. Can I get a set of Super Swampers 😋

[@rebel9838]

Nothing would have helped on that first hill it was rocks and clay. I live in Georgia and have a s10 with 12in lift 40in boggers lockers and a 427 small block and 4:11 gears and I have been stuck on flat ground lol when you get in that clay it sticks to your tires and turns them into slicks and yeah you can increase wheel speed to try and keep them clear but then you risk it finally getting traction and snapping a axle. Finally boggers are a great tire but their design is more for a deep rutted mud. If you get into a rut where the giant side wall tread can trip to then yeah no prob. Also I'm not putting you down nor am I a expert I'm just going off my personal experience and I'm sure there is a lot of stuff I don't know that you do I was just putting my opinion. Have a great day and stay off road.

[@jackhook4192]

There's nothing like a jeep

[@awwbubba3071]

Then what is there?

[@jeffm2448]

Was there a tire that did noticeably better than all the rest?

[@rockyour4x4]

Jeff M not really!

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Jeff M they need some trepadors, every time I see trepadors I get a boner....is that weird?

[@clos1764]

Nice looking rigs.

[@pontodevista189]

Very good, congratulations from Brazil, Day 2 is good too.

[@larsonaaron7372]

How about letting some air out if your climbing mud hills 😩

[@rockyour4x4]

[@garethprice2245]

Why buy road tyres and go play in the mud lol

[@rockyour4x4]

Gareth Price lame isn't it?

[@rockyour4x4]

Matt Brown that's how it's spelled in other countries. I'd say he's not in the US.

[@dpearson9239]

Same reason people buy mud tires and go play on the road lol

[@rond361]

We do have tyres here in the US, but they are on wooden or metal wagon wheels. The outer metal band (or solid rubber) that ties the wagon wheel together is still called a tyre. When pneumatic tyres were invented we started calling them tires to differentiate them from the tyre on a wagon wheel. The rest of the world didn't change the name. For about 50 years there were almost as many tyres as there were tires in the US. If you go to Pennsylvania or Illinois Amish country you will see a lot of tyres.

[@jimlayhey1965]

alot of money on that trail

[@nitro1222]

Lol Fuck off Jim

[@monsteryfz450]

I'm not usually negative but it seems to me a few of these drivers are mall crawlers... my son could make it up that faster...

[@rockyour4x4]

Wayne Parks most definitely, there is a wide variety of skill levels at the SFWDA events. Come to Dixie Run in September at Golden Mountain. Look us up.

[@stangtrax]

rockyour4x4 do all the jeeps have lockers or no? Plus did they decrease there tire pressure? I'm trying to learn about jeeps that is why I ask, thanks.

[@rockyour4x4]

stangtrax all of these Jeeps have locking differentials. The tires pressures range between 5-15 psi depending on the vehicle.

[@Diggs4ever]

If they are in the trail to begin with I would haft to say no to a mall crawler

[@Sheepdog416]

Why does it matter how fast someone can make it up a hill? It's not a race track, it's wheeling.

[@TheOutdoorBeerReview]

yea.. there's absolutely no way these people were at " 5 - 12psi " in this video.. looks like at least 18-25psi.. and these people had beadlocks with seemingly bald MT or regular AT tires, that's why they wernt moving at all... a real MT at 10psi would have done waaay better than what you're seeing in this video

[@rockyour4x4]

Maybe the owners of the vehicles in this video will chime in with their pressures. Mine was at 8 psi.

How tf do y'all keep your undercarriages so clean?

andrew bowman clean up good after every trip

[@zach23ize]

As a Mudding/trailing fanatic, I'd simply say, you don't. The rain/rivers you go through cleans it for you. Jeeps were meant to get dirty(more specifically the old YJs and TJs, and old cherokees)(sorry JKs you're too "mall crawler" for my liking))
