I'll pass that compliment on to my 13 year old son. When I'm on an official run, I don't want to slow things up by filming. So I'd say roughly 80% of the footage was him jumping out of Grandpa's Jeep and filming with the go-pro outside. So this video credit is all on him for taking the initiative to get that footage for me.
@@ForgottenWaypoints thanks! Due to time constraints and visits to the national parks (already watched your tower arch trail video which we are definitely doing), I might have to choose between this and Hells Revenge. Which would you recommend? I have moderate experience, and I wouldn’t plan on doing Hells Gate’s or any of the optional obstacles there.
@@VictorDeveze , your version of hells is how I like to take it. If you want to play with the Bronco's toys, tip toe behind hells is a blast. If you value scenery over the Wheeling, I prefer tower arch in that case. It is easier. Both are awesome, it's just what you are looking for that will decide.
Absolutely!! Obviously, skill plays a role, but the short wheelbase JL won’t be what trips you up! Sounds like an awesome ride!! There might be spots where you’ll want to take the bypass and/or use a spotter due to smaller tires. Be careful and you should be fine.
Very cool video, I love seeing the past year comparisons. Did I read that correctly your lx470 land cruiser got a rear locker? I am very interested in your review of the locker and as always look forward to seeing your next video.
Yeah, I recently had Cruiser Outfitters install the ARB rear locker and ARB compressor. I have another walk-around review of my LX planned on the schedule (if only real life didn't get in the way!) as I've added a few upgrades since the last time I reviewed the rig.
@@damiansmith391, It's a 2.5" lift. The Icon wheels give me a good offset. I have to hammer the pinch weld to clear the 33.8s, and sometimes I get a minor rubbing at full lock on the passenger side. It's not rubbing on the body, but the plastic liner that you have to use a heat gun to push back after hammering the pinch weld. I must not have done a good job on that one. I need to pin it back, but I just deal with it. I believe with adjustable upper control arms I could eliminate it altogether, but it's not enough of an issue for me to spend the $$ on it.
@smith391, not without cutting. Check out Tinkerer's Adventure video on Toyota IFS. While ours is a bit different with torsion bars, the fitting section still applies: ruclips.net/video/_68Hc8GtLko/видео.htmlsi=ND3fG2JfBaBaG2Pc Quite honestly, you get better performance the LESS lift you have up front. I actually lowered the front of my LX by 1"+ compared to my earlier videos and I've been more impressed having additional droop than lift.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent trail guide.👍🏼
We’ve done 7 Mile a couple of times and really like it....
I did this for the first time around 2017 and I loved it. What an awesome trail with lots of fun without feeling like you’re gonna die either.
I got my Lexus very close to the Monitor-Merrimac in Hampton Roads !
I'd love to go back there!
Nice, gotta get out there myself...
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
It's a classic, well worth the drive. I need to get back to AZ!!
What a nice video. So much work filming the exterior shots. And it's well worth it to me, seeing is believing for obstacles!

@@ForgottenWaypoints Wow. He's go a career as a videographer! :)
@@ForgottenWaypoints anyone who's tried it knows what a PITA it is to consistently film at the right time with a good angle. Great job young man!
@@raypeery6317, Thank you! I'll pass that on to my son!
Awesome video!
So a 4-door Bronco Badlands (not Sasquatch, so 33”) will do fine?
How experienced are you?? I'd take one! If you are inexperienced, grab a good spotter and have rock sliders!

Very cool
Your FJ was awesome!!
Great video! Do you think a 2 door stock JL Willys can get through this damage free :)?
Absolutely!! Obviously, skill plays a role, but the short wheelbase JL won’t be what trips you up! Sounds like an awesome ride!!

@@ForgottenWaypoints thank you! Really appreciate it!
looks like fun
It is definitely one of my favorites.

Awesome trail review! Loved seeing the previous trips footage.
Whats your tire/suspension set up?
OME heavy suspension w/ slee diff drop and ARB lower control arm reinforcements and 285/75R17 tires on Icon 17" wheels (no spacers)
@@ForgottenWaypoints 2inch lift? Do u have any rub at all?

@@ForgottenWaypoints so 2inch lift will not fit a 34-35inch tires without rub eh?
