Running Our FAVORITE Utah Trail 9/10 RATING (Constrictor trail)

Today we run the constrictor trail on eagle mountain utah and have a blast.

Normal pat sidewall issues. Get rid of them and get a set of real tires.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

i’d like to agree but i’ve beat these tires hard for years

[@autohog]

What do you recommend?

[@avianaviator1570]

I actually live near EM! Awesome to see you running those trails! So many fun places to explore near mercur and ophir too! Wish I had my 4runner up and running. I know you guys are super busy making videos, but those tune files for the 1uz would be very useful for me :)

[@gageboysgarage6059]

please email me again i’m am sorry [e-mail]

[@SilverSlumbers]

thats so interesting!! good thing you all came back safe

[@gageboysgarage6059]

thank you

[@doomsgarage]

so awesome the xj could tackle that last hard obstacle! good call on saving the 1uz! dry sump time? 🤘🤘

[@gageboysgarage6059]

i’m not sure yet how i’m gonna fix the oil starvation problem. it was a little low on oil so maybe if it’s topped off it will perform better, thank you for watching!!

[@Kooooshball]

Your xj has the best stance. Only a few others I know are as cool looking.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

thank you very much i appreciate that !

[@northernmichiganxjsoverlan3326]

Looks like a great time!

[@gageboysgarage6059]

It was!

Hey. This is Wyatt from badger land offroad. We met at wind rock tn. Anyways, we have a tailgate for your XJ if you want it.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

that would be awesome!! We would love to come down and pick that up

This was an awesome video, that trail looked tough. I hate how in video, obstacles never look as angled and big as they are. Definitely the extra “overland weight” didn’t help.

[@gageboysgarage6059]

Thank you! we tried our best to capture the obstacles haha 😂 but they where definitely cooler in person.

[@doomsgarage]

your dad looks familiar, is he famous or something? swear he looks like Joel grannas from grannas racing hahaha

[@gageboysgarage6059]

Just famous on gage boys garage, or at least that i know of haha

[@GuyOnTheCouch4444]

Selling my XJ.....looks very nice. Some say it looks like a hot wheel 🛞

[@gageboysgarage6059]

thank you haha 😂

[@travislee7207]

This is 15 minutes from my driveway definitely a blast

[@gageboysgarage6059]

very jealous of that !

[@elisherman7791]

What size front and rear springs are on the XJ?? What trying to figure out what to go with when I finish my rear 4 link

[@gageboysgarage6059]

6.5” lift

[@FortuneOffRoad]

Still running the 231 doubler in this video?

[@gageboysgarage6059]

yes i love it!

[@GuyOnTheCouch4444]

Need to deflate your tires!!!

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Yeah I don't think it was about tire size I think he needs to drop the pressure even more and if you're going to do something like that you pretty much need beadlocks I think So if you can go down to like 5 psi or something to put enough tire down. Bigger tires are going to hurt your crawl ratio unless you re-gear and that's pretty expensive so if you have a big enough tire I would do beadlocks and low low pressure if you need more tire down. Those Patagonia can probably hold like 15,000 lb of weight at that size. It's overkill for a 4000 lb vehicle The tire pressure has to go way way down. Even with my 30.6 inch tires if my street pressure is over 32 lb it's a skateboard. Even the load inflation tables tell me that I can run 26 street pressure. 26 actually works pretty darn good off-road for me most of the time but if I had bead locks and LT tires I'd go to like five or eight with tires that big on a vehicle that light if you're going to crawl rocks like that.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

I think people should be a little bit more scientific about tire pressure recommendations. I would say look at the load inflation tables and start off by trying a pressure that holds one times your vehicle weight if you add all 4 tires together (for trails).

[@GuyOnTheCouch4444]

@off-roadingexplained8417 agreed, but thankfully I have not had a flat while wheeling in Colorado. I roll on 35's.

[@samwalker1304]

Call me crazy but I run 15 psi in the rear and 20 psi in the front daily driving an XJ but I ain’t loaded up with gear and a roof top tent. If I had headlocks I’d be under 10 fer sur!!!

[@gageboysgarage6059]

i usually run 5 to 6 psi but with this setup i was 5600 lbs on non bead locks, so i played it safe, on the last obstacle i aired the front down to 8

[@moejr14]

Bro you came To Idaho? Where at in Idaho? I live in Nampa Idaho.

We were in Meridian and Atlanta, great time, we will be back for aure

[@moejr14]

@@gageboysgarage6059 that’s awesome. Did you come all the way to Idaho to go to Atlanta? You should’ve hit up the owyhee mountains. There’s a bunch of fun rock crawling out there.

….so air down loll what’s so difficult

didn’t want to knock a tire off, toward the end i air down more
