Nice people Very educated, nice to hang out 👍

I think you are right when you say the hardest part is the steepness and the loose rocks. The trail also has some spots where you need to bump and it's very difficult to get the momentum. Great job as a crew getting you all up there and great video. Oh and there is nothing wrong with getting pulled, it happens to everyone

Great video. I was there this past SAT/SUN. May 2022, either the trail got worse or you missed recording the harder parts near the top. There was 2+ foot boulders and holes. First time with my built Rubicon so I was able to make it without issues.

The good thing about aftermarket locker is that u can engage at any time. In the stock locker you can only engage while it’s in 4lo. So I think that’s the upside to aftermarket . It’s that you can engage while in 2wd 4hi or 4lo

@Michael_Tran

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you...is the Gladiator 4x4? Most all of the trails you see on my channel...any 4x4 with a bit of clearance and picking the right line can do. Im not into rock crawling as much so most trails are for sceneries

just did this trail in my stock 5th Gen 4Runner, at times I didn’t think I would make it up cause of not having enough clearance, my stock skid plate got a bit dented on the way down

@Michael_Tran

It's not actually a campground...it's more of a dispersed camping. If theres an empty yellow post sign, technically you can camp there, so it's all along the trail. But if you do both trails, you're looking at roughly 5-10 miles

Oh yea, would've been much easier, however I think it's the overall crowded trail that made it hard. People coming down while you're trying to get momentum can be hard.
