Did this in a Rivian R1T today and it handled like a champ. Few minor scratches due to the road being narrow but nothing you can't buff out. This is the best soldiers pass review I have seen.

I just ran soldier pass off road trail in my 2017 Jeep renegade Trailhawk. Your video gave me the confidence that I could get through it. It was a bit harder because it had rain last day and a half so rocks were slippery and plenty of mud

Looks like a fun drive and hike. I need to check out Sedona some time.
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
It’s a tourist trap, but with the right information and plan, it can be a very enjoyable place 😊

My first time I visited Sedona, Arizona I was in my early 20s. My girlfriend at the time, took me here while visiting her Sister. We had a fun day recreating on the natural water slides of "slide rock". For some reason, her Sister had to leave and left us stranded while cold and wet 😪

Great informative video. Exactly what I was looking for to see if I'd be able to drive this trail in my stock 2018 Ridgeline. I'm thinking "not".

Love your videos. Just getting into overlanding…building a GX460. Wondering when you will set up another group overlanding event. Thanks and keep on making great videos!

sorry for the late reply. Yes, we just did a group even to the antelope canyon. Overlanding + Kayaking. You can join up on the facebook group "Crossoverlanding (HUB)"

Great video Jon, that is a great way to avoid the full hike especially if it gets really hot. This was our first time watching a youtube on our laptop and it seemed like it made the rocks look more realistic in size as compared to a big screen. Not sure if that is normal so I will check out other videos to see.

Yet another great video Jon! Question: did you need to engage your brake-lock at any point on this trail? Thanks!
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
Thanks James! Not at all. Actually, I really didn’t even use my brake lock on Broken Arrow, which was much more technical trail (well, If you don’t count the offshoots)

It’s really a shame that a camera designed for extreme activities and environments overheats so much. You are not the first KZbinr who I have seen this happen to.
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
Yeah, you’re right! GoPros explanation is that the majority of its users only shoot 30second to 5 minute clips. I disagree with this, I feel most people turn it on and do their activity and turn stop recording when their activity has finished. Overheating is common with go pros, but the image quality is some of the best and it’s the reason I continue to use their cameras. Cmon GoPro, please fix the overheating issue 😃

What is your MPG now with the lift and tires?
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
Tires and roof / front bumper modifications will make the most difference. The faster I go, there will be more disparity compared to stock. I can achieve 22 mpg highway doing 65mph, but if I go 75mph MPGs will drop to 19.

Can an fully armored belly stock height gx460 complete this? 8” clearance at the skids, 14” at the sliders, 17” at bumpers.
@JonDZ_Adventuring11 ай бұрын
I would think so. As seen in this video, the main trail isn't very technical. If you stray off the trail seen in this video is where things can get spicy.

Yeah, as long as you have 9” of clearance, should be fine. Just be careful of taking any of the offshoots, might be tough. How much lift do you have? Forgot if it was 2” or 3.5”
