@7:55 "Screw you spotter, I do what I want!"

Good luck with it....my POS Gladiator just stranded me in hot springs. First road trip in it, up from Houston (7 hr drive) and Jeep throws misfire, O2 sensor codes and has to be towed to dealer. I now get to Uber an hour to little rock to try and find a flight to Houston and leave my jeep in Arkansas. Fun times...

Dang that sucks!!!

Thanks for this video especially the advice at the beginning. This really helps round out the beginners checklist. - Just get out there and do it - Start with local / state parks to shakedown gear camping stuff. - Use off road parks to learn rig / offroad capabilities in "controlled" environment. - Explore - Have fun!

5:00 that turn is a ROUGH for plenty of jeepers... I still remember the first time taking that turn.

Matt when you guys are in Utah try and get into Hurricane and lookup Matt's Offroad Recovery good folks there as well and check out the Corvair they built.

Like and miss Hot Springs Offroad park but love living out here in the west (Idaho). Hope all is well with y'all back home....

Matt, our group just got back from Moab. We had a air suspension TrailHawk with us, and it was miserable for them trying to keep up with us. I wouldn't take it on anything harder than Fins & Things. It will take on body damage there for sure. Hells Revenge got a lot harder this year. We snapped 3 axles, on built rigs on it. LOL Heck, the entrance alone is a challenge. The exit section is crazy now too. We did the harder trails, and all the obstacles as well. Overall for a week, we snapped 5 axles, both solid and CV. Bring Spares!!! Parts stores did not stock them, and we had to have them over nighted. Oh.... Choose one spotter, and Trusting that spotter word for word, hand signal for hand signal, is a must. I had 80% of a front tire off a 300 foot cliff edge, just to make the turn over an obstacle on Hamburger Hill.

That's why I put my badges on a plaque

I would go nutz with 6 people screaming directions. Take command brother!!!

Just amazing trails and looks like everyone enjoyed each other's company. Seeing her WK2 on those trails put a big smile on my face because I'm getting closer to prep to get mine trail ready. Thanks for everything you both do.

Great video. I have damaged more parts at Hot Springs Off Road Park than I care to mention. We rarely damage anything but paint in the National Forest. Cara did much better than expected. I mean her rig did well because she is a very good driver, wheeler!

Very impressed with Gladiators abilities but of course your wheeling ability helps.

Next time you wheel the Grand Cherokee, take the lower front facia off - it comes off with seven quarter-turn fasteners and can be removed by hand. I just got a Trailhawk about 6 months ago and I've got the Off-Road Animal front-end and winch kit going on in this next week. And 3-wheeling is what they do, but they do a surprisingly good job for what they are!

Impressive, amazing video. Keep going! Leaving here an idea, would be great to get your point of view on choosing lines and approach obstacles from driver and spotter side. Thanks!

Very nice! your wife did a great job as well as her Trail Hawk! This is approximately 5 to 6 hours from our home in Southern Illinois, we are 22 miles from the Missouri line at Cape Girardeau MO. Great video!. Thank you

We were just there with my willy's gladiator (stock) and jk (lifted on 35s). No issues on any on the 1-2 * trails. We completed snake too but I was a bit nervous kn my gladiator lol

Finally, first comment! It’s an honor and a privilege my friend! Great stuff!

Matt: "now turn driver and back up" driver: "driver and back up?" Matt: "yep" driver: drives forward. snaps I never knew watching a cherokee is more entertaining than a big tire lifted Wrangler/Gladiator. And your wife doesn't seem to trust you at all, she keeps asking "you sure?" "you positive?"

Well that was all on James, You said, "driver and back up" we all heard it. At least it wasn't significant. Definitely looks like a very cool place to go and wish I lived closer to do it with you. Also Kara has to learn to trust her spotter, especially when it's you.

Cara did just fine. It’s not easy going from a JKU with lots of flex to a Grand Cherokee with no flex.

Nice rig. 2nd comment.

Your friends need to learn the art of low tire pressure - 20 is not low. The 2dr JK should be running on 12 to 14psi. Plus they need to relax, calm down and listen to what the spotter is saying. Great trails, I can't wait to do them when I go out that way next year.

@OzarkOverlandAdventures

Who said anything about 20? We were all aired down to 12-15. This was the first time some of them had ever done this. I think they all did great!!

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures in the video it looks like the tires are not bulging like mine used to do at 14psi. I have seen many owners think that airing down to 20 psi is airing down. I am more of a rock crawler than overlander and soft ride with no bouncing is what I look at in videos. That looks like a fun off road park to camp at for the weekend.

Sounds like someones wife don't trust him lol. Is that a park just for jeeps? Looks fun.
