Jericho Mountain 4x4 Trail NH - Jeep Badge of Honor Trail - September 2022

Our third day in New England took us from Central VT into Northern NH to go to Jericho Mountain State Park, home of the Jericho Mountain 4x4 Trail which is one of only a few Jeep Badge of Honor Trails in the Northeast. We knew it was going to be cool, but had no idea what the black & green trails had in store for us! Also, the White Mountains are beautiful!

    What size lift and tires were you on here? Thinking about hitting that trail someday and want to be prepared. I'm on 37's and a 3.75' lift.

    Great videos! I look forward to watching them. Quick question - I think I saw in one video you were running a diesel heater? If so, how do you like it? Looking for heating ideas for winter camping. How did you set it up?

    Great video! I'm headed to this trail at the end of the month with the fam since we'll be in the area, so it's great to get a look at what it'll be like. I'm thinking we'll stick to the greens mostly, but I'm tempted to do the black loop since that's what's on the badge. No lift, but we've got lockers, some skid plates, and a winch so I figure we can make it, but I'll turn around before we break anything. It seems like some maps are conflicting on which direction the trails are, which way did you go?

    Greens are two directional. Blacks generally go counter clockwise. Without a lift I’d stay off the first few black trails but the one on the south side heading back was manageable with good lines. I did a fair amount of repainting under my Jeep when I got home I run a 2.5” lift 35” tires. Have fun and be safe!

    Good video, nice trail, love the action. 99% off roaders are afraid of success, they let off when momentum is working.. Never gets old to see. JLU setup needs worked on.. That JLU is way too heavy, lacks off road sway bars, and is super stiff in the rear. Which hinders articulation in the rear and greatly effects the front. The suspension is working against you. Tires lifting or without weight on them means no traction. And for heavens sake replace those steps with proper sliders, they're nothing but a hazard and reduce clearance. Proper tires would make a difference as well. That yellow cherokee is super interesting, bravo to him. The rest of the vehicles need help.

    You will be fine with the green trail. There is a trail off to the right that is a big loop and you could do that also. We live nearby and love playing there.

    I don’t believe so, but I’m not 100% sure. They do have a network of ATV/SXS/snowmobile network of trails (50+ miles) also connected to this though.
