Wheeler Pass exploration

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Very enjoyable video. As a woman in her mid 70s, with a Renegade Trailhawk, I've learned/decided that for some trails, it's best to just enjoy them vicariously through a well done video such as yours.

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so for watching!

[@outlaw9232]

Nicely done video! Looks like a fun easy trail and I love the drone footage. Learning about the history is also interesting as well thanks for sharing!

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

[@diesel12valve]

Nice video man, cool lil history lesson also.

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much, it was a great day on the trail!

[@hangemhigh64lv]

Nice refresher as we’re going this weekend. always awesome videos! thank you.

[@JKsouthwest]

This is always a fun trail. Thanks so much for watching!

[@robl6044]

Great day on the trail and go back in time on history

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Kadenventures]

Awesome video! I've heard multiple times that I need to hit Wheeler pass, I got it on my list now! Thanks for the trail video 👌

[@JKsouthwest]

Wheeler pass is a great trail that you can make in just about any 4wd vehicle.Thanks so much for watching!

Hmu I'd be down I got a xterra and I'm in vegas🤙🏾

[@Kadenventures]

@@2fkndwn865 If you have Facebook, check out the Vegas Overlanding FB group or hit me up on Instagram @kadenventures_ On FB there are events for trail runs and one group did Wheeler Pass just recently!

[@camaroboi13]

My wife and I did our first trail at Wheeler Pass with no experience at all. Had a good time there.

[@JKsouthwest]

It is a popular trail for new offroaders, especially with the local clubs. Thanks so much for watching!

[@96rasco]

Can't wait to try this out I just got a jl wrangler!

[@JKsouthwest]

You should have no problem getting through in a JL. This is a perfect time of year to head out on the trails. Thanks so much for watching!

[@96rasco]

@@JKsouthwest yea now I need someone to to with lol not the greatest idea going alone

[@JKsouthwest]

@@96rasco Always better to go Jeep’n with friends!

[@YASMARProductions]

Great video bud. Love that trail. As for Temps, when we were up there a few weeks ago, it remained triple digits, even on the mountain.... glad to see its cooled off a bit since then. Lol

[@JKsouthwest]

It's a fun trail that is always worth the trip. Thanks so much for watching!

[@H.pylori]

As usual great video. A few comments. Loved the history of the pass and the kilns. As a solo off-roader I wondered what the Wheeler Pass was like. Appears that the beginning and end would suit my entry level skills, but not those big boulders in the middle. Easy for you, though. Also your son's Xterra did well on this trip. Nissan should never have left the SUV race, they should have improved the Xterra.

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for watching! The trail really is stock friendly. The couple of rocky sections are easy to navigate through even with a stock 4x4. I totally agree about the Xterra. Nissan is really missing out by not having an offroad worthy SUV, especially with the overlanding craze.

[@edwardaugustino9950]

I am entry level as well. Well I grew up 4 wheelers and off roading toyotas with uncles. Always looking to have a 2nd on adventures. You know just in case. Slowly meeting similar folks on the trails. feel free to reach out

[@spookyjeeps4419]

Great video brother.

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@rael6_4wd]

I’ve been through here, but it’s been many years. It’s about time to do it again. Maybe even before winter hits. OIIIIIIIO

[@JKsouthwest]

It is a fun trail. We run it a couple of times a year. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

76F @7700ft is not bad at all. Nice to see an Xterra in the wild.

[@JKsouthwest]

During the summer months we are always looking for an escape from the heat. The Xterra did great on this trip, I wish Nissan had continued making them. Thanks so much for watching.

[@jolotheatheist21]

Awesome video man. Can you disperse camp along the trail?

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for watching! There are several places to camp along the trail.

[@jolotheatheist21]

@@JKsouthwest awesome man. Ill check this one out.

[@edgarnunez3020]

Nice video how long it takes.?

[@JKsouthwest]

The trail is about 30 miles long, and should take you between 3-5 hours depending on how many stops you make and how fast you like to travel. Thanks so much for watching!

[@NotICON]

Looks like a nice trail with some amazing views with some clear skies. California shut everything down because of the fires, so Im actually going to Nevada to check out a few trails. Im really looking forward to it. Have you been up towards Carson City?

[@JKsouthwest]

We have spent a lot of time in the Carson City/Reno/Tahoe area. Unfortunately, most of it was without the Jeep. But there is some good offroading to be found!

[@NotICON]

@@JKsouthwest yeah im planning on hitting Prison Hill OHV as well as Kings Canyon OHV trail.

[@JKsouthwest]

We have not been there. Let us know how it is!

[@draneldavid4472]

Did you have to air down for this trail?

[@JKsouthwest]

We air down for every trail. Airing down increases traction, provides for a smoother ride, and increases resistance to punctures. But, you don't need to air down for any trail.

[@steveguillory7568]

Can a 2wd with a locker do this trail?

[@JKsouthwest]

@@steveguillory7568 I have not been on this trail since the heavy rainy season we had last year. I know that some sections were washed out, increasing the challenge. But in the past, I would say “Yes” a 2nd with a locker should be able to make it through the trail. Thanks for watching!

[@mdarbor]

Just curious about the pressure in the tires. Went up here last week and didn't deflate tires. Luckily none popped. After Willow Springs I was confused about which way to go because of the limited signage. Followed a road that paralleled 95 for a couple of miles and then turned around. Does anyone know if the map at AllTrails is accurate for the main route. Not interested in any side trails since my son and myself will be going up solo?

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks so much for watching! Airing down will help soften the ride a bit and make your tires more resistant to puncture. The trail can be a little confusing to follow since there is no signage. Hopefully this link works here in the comments: www.lasvegasjeeptrails.com/jeep-trails/Spring-Mountains/Wheeler-Pass/

[@adamrunquist3454]

Are the turns tight? How hard would it be for a 1/2 ton fwd, no lift, ko2 tires?

[@JKsouthwest]

You should be able to get any high clearance 4x4 pickup or SUV through the trail. Winter snow can make the trail more difficult. Thanks so much for watching!

[@pixelmartyr8532]

I was in those kilns before they collapsed. We've had a lot of earth quakes in recent years,

[@JKsouthwest]

Wow, that's really cool. It was sad to see that they have not been as well preserved like at some other locations. Thanks so much for watching!

[@pixelmartyr8532]

@@JKsouthwest I learned about their collapse just this year from another youtuber. Seems the people shooting the videos never saw them complete. I think it was 2011 when I was last there. Amazing they stood so long and now leveled. They had a fence around them at the time. We got in anyway to explore. Our trip included Carpenter Canyon. It was my first time on wheeler pass. Hopefully not my last. I had a great time.

[@JKsouthwest]

@@pixelmartyr8532 It is a great area to explore. Thanks again!

[@tracyc2695]

Like the videos. The music is unnecessary, and I would enjoy the videos more without it.

[@JKsouthwest]

Thanks for the feedback!
