@@XYoverland thank you. I’m interested to see how the xterra performs. It has a much shorter spindle compared to Toyota IFS and the leaf springs are already stiffer

This trail is definately stock friendly. I went up switzer lake and down union springs in an 85 toyota pick up completely stock. No problems at all and had 0 experience off roading. Very fun trail for beginners. Enough fun stuff to not be boring but they all have passes to go around if you want.

Great video. I agree with you on tire size not adding a whole lot other than clearance. I have 32” tires and no locker and I’ve never had a problem on those obstacles. Type of tires and airing down makes a huge difference though.

We took my 2WD school bus over Flagpole to Meadow Knob for a buddy’s bachelor party. Had 12 dudes pushing it back up the steep pitch to Flagpole in the morning, but we made it. If you don’t have the budget to be an overland nerd, just pretend that you’re a Guatemalan bus driver and get it done!! 🎉

I'm in Tennessee and have a 2013 Jeep wrangler sport 2-Door with a set of 285 75 16 AT tires and a winch and no lift other than the AT tires. Would I be alright on this tria. Outstanding video l

for the time we went, it was not bad, we only encountered one other group on top of the knob.

Would love to do this in my GX but the body kit would not fair well on the rocky hill sadly

I just did Peters Mill two weekends ago, and I'm a complete neophyte. Literally have never wheeled before. Followed my buddy in his Rubicon, while I was in my new GMC 2400HD AT4X. No prep, didn't even air the tires down (that was a mistake) and I crushed the trail with ease. Just watching this video, I'd imagine because I'm a newbie, I might have some more trouble with this trail in comparison. Assuming the beast even fit. ;-)

People in NC complain that the Trans NJ Trail is so far from them

The truck on 35s looks like it has terrible control arm geometry and no travel. Thats the problem. Ive done stuff like this in a stock 3g taco no lift just tires.

The fifth gen that got hung up on that section lost its momentum stopping for the woman that was moving.
