2.5l Jeep TJ 3" Lift on 35's vs The Pickle Trail in Moab, Utah | Offroading a Mildly Built Wrangler
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Pickle Trail in Moab, Utah was one of my top 3 favorite trails on our trip out there this summer. It is rated difficult and is a very short trail with three main obstacles: The Dill Pickle, Pickle Slicer, and The Jalapeno Pickle. This trail is definitely doable in a short wheelbase vehicle on 35's, but rigs with a bit more wheelbase and tire size definitely make it through a lot easier. For my setup, this trail was super fun and challenging.
The TJ has 2" Rock Krawler springs with a 1" body lift to accommodate a Teraflex Belly-up skid. It is locked front and rear with 4.88 gears and is running 35" BFG KM2's. I was pleasantly surprised how well this little Jeep handled everything we threw at it in Moab. Stacking a rock here and there goes a long way with 35" tires.
Enjoy some unedited footage from the trail!

Your jeep is awesome. I've had a 98 tj with the 4.0 and now thinking about getting a 97 with the 2.5. Great videos and you need to come to Trail jam here is Tennessee.

5.13 gears I was going to do a brake upgrade but flushed every bit of brake fluid and replaced. It is plenty and the older style TJ with no ABS, I can lock em down. Non-issue. Must be the light weight.

At least they have an excuse no two speed transfer case
And it looks like a long base unlimited to me I didn't know you could get a four-cylinder in that

Thanks! Nothing fancy really. Magnaflow high flow cat and muffler! Still running stock manifold and everything. Well, I guess it is cut off right after it goes over the rear axle and tips back down, but it didn’t sound much different before I cut it off there. I just cut it so it wouldn’t keep smashing the tip

Matt is there any good Wheeling spots in south Mississippi?

Not much around South MS really. Mostly gonna be National Forrest stuff and powerline trails. I'm not too familiar with where people go around here honestly. The closet to home that I would wheel is probably Sicily Island, LA
Matt Don’t be scared of 37s on a 2.5 with d 30 and 8.8. Been doing it for 5 years.

Good to know! Stopping power is OK? What gears you running?
Are you running lockers in that?

Aussie locker in the front and a spool in the rear
I really think he needs to go to a lower transfer case gear set or lower axle gears he's struggling and it's a standard

Definitely need a 4:1 tcase. I’ve got 5.13s and 37s now and it’s actually a lot better but still need the atlas. A lot of what your hearing that sounds like motor strain is me feathering the clutch. The 4.88s and 35s had good crawl, just not 4:1 crawl
I would have pulled cable winched and drove at the same time I wouldn't have stressed my dry train with the wheel hop like he's doing

If you’re built right you don’t have to worry about breaking though
And I'm not dogging him he just doesn't have the right set up for those ledges

Seems like it did pretty well to me for a small tire Jeep. Couple rock stacks to get though a pretty tough trail is a win Id say though

But he did ok for a 2.5 and a big set of boots with small axles. Instead of just sending it, he took his time and made it. And had fun!

I mean with the right gearing you would be able to make anything but he needs like 5:38 and his axles won't take those gears
