    The trail fixes are great. Shows how capable the team is not just driving but wrenching also. Great series so far!

    Yes, the four dice is a lot harder than the Rubicon. Very good run. Been doing it since the 70s with California four-wheel-drive association called Sierra trek just finished it but I drive a Toyota 76FJ 40 with 35 glad you got to drive it

      Talon Skids were amazing on both Broncos protected everything there were supposed to correctly. We had one small weld give up but I think it was the perfect storm between rock and angle of how it was hit to cause it.

    You don't need big builds for this trail, though it is significantly tougher than the Rubicon. Some pals of mine and I did it last month as part of a quadfecta (Back to Back Dusey Ershim, Barrett Lake, Fordyce Creek and Rubicon, all within a week. Our little Willys and two 1950's Land Rovers ran on 31" (7.50x16") pizza cutters. Three of us drove every winch hill on Fordyce (Two 1950's Land Rovers and one Willys) It was a ton of fun for us old guys in old rigs. No bypasses..... This big equipment is nice for certain things, but several of us had an easier time of it in our smaller rigs. Great trail !! I was driving one of the old Rovers, It's never trailered, drove it to and between all the trails (also out to Moab twice this year).

(The entire Rubicon , from Wentworth springs to Tahoe took 9 hours, all in one day) Other videos of us doing Pritchett Canyon in Moab, ect....... There will be a new one soon of us doing Coyote Canyon in Moab..... That's a badass little trail, but our little rigs did it ! Should also soon be one of me doing the hot tubs and Escalator. People have a tough time wrapping their heads around how capable these ancient rigs are. Do not under estimate them !!

    I'm under no illusion that driving a stick in that situation is much more challenging. But I would love to know if having the crawl gear would have made any of those obstacles easier? From the point of the broncos that ran out of gearing and had to winch not that they were stuck her in a bind.

    • @TrailMilitia
      @TrailMilitia  2 месяца назад +1

      He actually does have a crawl gear in the yota but going lower would definitely help in almost any rock situation. As for the Bronco after going through content and it basically going limp right after due to Rack breakage, I think thats really what it was… The system was already in limp mode combined with location and it caused it not to go. Ive been in worse situations and it pushes the 35s no problem.
