I really appreciate that! I’m learning as I go so I figure as I get better at this, it’ll grow. We have to take a break due to an unexpected move, but we’re definitely making much better and more videos in 2023. Thanks for being here!
Lol, they can do a lot more than people give them credit for. Anatole has already gotten new tires on it and he wants to film more so we’ll keep exploring!
@@poobank you might like nuzgal renegade channel. I wheel with Miguel on a regular basis. He has one serious build. Ustom bumpers, hidden winch, 32's and he's adding a external trans cooler.
@@jamesakemon4115 thanks for the info. I’ll check him out. I had a Renegade TH. Had all kinds of fun with it for a few years. Ended up getting a Ranger for more towing but the TH was good to me. Had it in water so deep had to drain the PTUs or diffs when I got back for me to feel confident driving again.
We will be filming a bunch of them this year! Some are going to be wild! Just going on a little hiatus as I’m about to be homeless… but I’m moving into something awesome in May and it’s going to allow me to afford video editors who will allow for more uploads.
That Renegade appears to be the ideal size for this this trail, especially as it narrowed at the higher elevations. Kinda wonder how it would do with a lift, off road tires, and higher clearance bumpers! Merry Christmas to you and yours too, Dewey!
Thanks buddy! Me too, I was nervous with those street tires, but he said let’s go so I let ride! Also, to anyone that sees this comment, this is Trint from TrailsOffroad and his work from home channel is fun!
I had a 6 speed manual Renegade 1.4 turbo. Never got stuck on deep snow. Wasn’t really quick or efficient but it was really good on traction or dirty roads in general. Really liked it
This was an absolutely beautiful trail. Low range would have been nice, but some throttle and momentum were the perfect combination for most obstacles. Anything much steeper and rockier would have ended my run early though but luckily didn't.
Not trying to sound mean, but I'm really surprised your transmission wasn't overheating, especially with the altitude, there were a couple times that motor/tranny did not sound happy (and thats just the bits that were caught in the video). I'd advise adding some tow points, i'd be hard pressed to be convinced to let any vehicle without legit recovery points front and rear on any of my rides...thats just asking for trouble if something does turn south.
@@FearlessTrailhawk I hear you on that. These things are pretty resilient surprisingly and through that whole trip my trans didn't overheat or get really hot at all. As for the noise, I believe these Jeeps spring manifold leaks which makes the puttering as heard though I have yet to get it inspected to see if it's really that. Big thing is gearing. This is not a trailhawk so it doesn't have the extra low gear it should so it struggles more. I am browsing sites for extra tow points and since the Sport is just a less modified Trailhawk I am researching swap-able parts between models.
I may be wrong, but based Davon’s renegade, I think the renegade might be the most durable SUV Jeep. Heck, even Mikes on Tincup took so much before breaking. I have wanted a renegade myself, altho the recon might be more interesting to test.
Happy Christmas Dewey. Thanks for another great video - everything we need and nothing we don't. I've got some early stoke building for this year's wheeling season now!
Happy Christmas Joseph! Lol, I’m trying, I get time is limited for many so I try not waste yours. I’ll probably be taking a hiatus after this (my life is chaotic and stressful right now), but my goal is to start posting regularly a lot of those guides listed in March and April. Should be able to get the stoke going for you and me (I failed on a trail that I need to conquer in 2023).
I'm always jealous since i live in the wrong part of the country. Damn you colorado people always having amazing scenery and trails! I'm surprised that his transmission wasn't overheating with all that effort and the steeper loose grades.
More to come! Just chaos on my part, but updating y’all this week. I’m editing the next Liberty video now (but likely have to wait to upload). I’m struggling with time (I flip from nights to days everyday at work so I’ve been too exhausted to edit well), but I’m going to hire a video editor.
I think about that too. As a railroader, I think about how little steam engines covered the remote routes I work… it’s all pretty wild. Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas! I'm definitely going to try this trail in 2023. The Renegade is a great benchmark for the trail, I think my Honda Element might be capable of doing this trail. I'm going to wait until I have more durable tires though, those rocks look like they'd easily slash my sidewall open.
Merry Christmas Ryan! Yeah, definitely get more durable tires and have a spare in case, but I think you can do it (granted, I’m not sure the capability or durability of the element). Have a great day!
Great video! I am interested in seeing this trail during my next trip. I'm socked Antonele did not get a flat tire during that rocky section. I did Horse Creek in Tennessee as my first trail on my Renegade with only A/T tires. One person did it on all season tires and destroyed two on our way down from the top. Renegades are very capable, I wish there were mods to upgrade transmission and engine performance. Looking forward for more of your videos!
You should! It’s a great trail, in fact the whole area has so many great trails around here. Yeah, I’m amazed but the tire gods were looking out for us this day lol. Yeah, it’d be nice if there were more mods for that. Let me know, I’ll be in Grand Junction this year filming Ouray and Moab, but I might be able to get back.
Merry Christmas to y'all, thanks for sharing your trip, the views are awesome, glad to see that Renegade made it, wife has one, she said don't even think about it lol...
SXM channel 314 is the best! :) Great vid! Makes me feel even better about my recent Renegade TH purchase. If a sport with street tires can make it, mine should have no issues.
You’ll love it! I’m pretty sure if my parents sell their antique store, they’re going to get a renegade Trailhawk. That’ll make me feel better about bringing the liberty to Colorado as I’ll have the renegade in Tennessee to explore with. Have fun with it!
I'm always trying to find more trails for my trailhawk Rennie, this one looks fun, love those views! I just wish I had more people to go with, I've mostly been doing these alone which I know is bad practice but 🤷♀️
@@coloradomallcrawlers thank you! I wish I had Facebook 😂. I need to be better at looking up groups though I'm sure there are other resources outside of Facebook. Love your guys' RUclips channel!
@@LaurenMilla If all you use FB for is finding and connecting with wheeling groups, its worth it. Thats about all i use it for anymore. These days most of...everything...has dropped staying up to date with the old school methods of forums and email lists...its just part of the flow of things now...
Awesome video Dewie. Yeah the camera never does it justice. I would say that the views in this trail were for sure some of my favorites in the summit county area. I camped right after this but I had to head down to go further up another trail.
If you are looking to get the renegade for trail use spend the extra $ and get the trailhawk. You get your moneys worth. Slap on some 225/65r17 and you are good to go. Wouldnt even bother with a lift kit. Maybe the 1" Eihbach springs but anything more maybe look at a different vehicle.
I have jeep renagade 4x4 longitudine...the advantage of this car is ...its a cube whit wheels in corners...that make renegade so but I say sooo dame good on offroad...its a small sister wrangler but when she is ungry she can beat everyone
I’ve never developed a good system. Mostly just announce it on my Facebook profile and people respond. If I ever do this full time, I’ll develop a better system. The people who join me are the stars of these videos!
How were the trans temp on the renegade during the climb? I know that here in eastern Kentucky and northern Tennessee, the Temps usually run very high. Sometimes high enough that the group has to stop and let them cool down.
We’ve had to do that with the lifted Renegades on Slaughterhouse (an early trail guide video), but I think he was doing fine here. I’ll let him know tho so he can answer. I do recall having no issues with Davon’s Renegade on Boulder Mountain which was similar to this trail.
I haven't experienced abnormally high temps. The highest it has gotten is into the 180-90's and that was when I was flooring it down the highway. It stayed relatively low in the higher 170's
@@jamesakemon4115 I know my Renegade needs momentum to get up steeper obstacles so I'm not just sitting stalled while floored hopping it with get going. When it stops going forward I know it's done and I need a new run at it.
Hi, I’m sorry, I get so many emails that I get overwhelmed. I’ve heard good things about your lights, but I do not do gear reviews tho… I’m thinking about it, but it’d have to be on my terms (proper long test, no guarantee of a video, no video approval by the company). I understand that’s not favorable to many companies so I’ll likely just buy products and test them. Thank you for reaching out!
He talks about it somewhere else… its FWD with the ability to get the rear involved. I’m not aware of the Renegade AWD/4WD systems and I just write what I’m told.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I've not done much research on those renegades. With a lift, what size tires can they take? I wonder how much a good set of ATs would help it.
@@backwoodstherapy I've got a few Trailhawks in my neighborhood all with lifts, bumpers and the works. It is usually wise to stay 3.5 inches or less on the lifts, including tire size, due to the CV angle. With a lift and some inner wheel well trimming you can fit 30 inch tires though a different offset tire is recommended. I have a good set of A/T on it now and snow performance has gone up significantly. The traction control system is phenomenal for what it is.
@@anatolearnold1633 yeah that sounds reasonable. You could, in theory, redo the suspension and adjust the cv axles to support more lift but in a car like the Renegade it seems like it would be more money than it's worth, unless you're just a rich guy doing it for the hell of it.
@@backwoodstherapy True, and I would not install a tall lift on this model of Renegade anyway. I'm looking at a 1-1.5 inch Eibach lift spring and some Bilstein shocks which will about round out what I want. I may go a slight size up on tires and of course get the skids and the works on protection because it's my daily.
Most of these trails? I have a video with VW Toureg that couldn’t do it in its current form. I’m not saying it’s not true, but trails always look easier on video, however, you’re welcome to show me. I’d love to film a VW off-road!
@@coloradomallcrawlers no never these trails! My apologies if I worded that wrong. I was just saying AWD is very capable. There are very many VW Atlas that are lifted 😄 pretty cool. Great video!
When flying private aircraft we are required to have an onboard oxygen supply above 10,000 ft. Also not sure why you would let someone with no low range AND a CVT transmission come along on this trip. I'm sure he fried his transmission on this trip.
He didn’t fry his transmission and is still wheeling that Renegade all over. He’s posting very cool photos on Facebook. Also, he’s an adult and can choose to do what he wants like all adults. Since I’m back in Denver, he’ll be in more videos I’m sure.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I put my foot in my mouth so to speak. I did look up the Renegade specs and found that they do have a low range button ( although it's only 20:1 ). I do have to agree that the size is appealing. Although I wish I had a Liberty. Looking forward to more renegade off road videos !! A little lift and a set of all terrains and he should be able to scoot right along.
That’s unfortunate. I think they’re great Jeeps and I’ve owned a wrangler consistently since the early 2000s. To me, it’s not the vehicle, it’s the driver, however I’ve seen Renegades do some crazy trails! One day, I hope to have one myself and thanks for watching!

@@coloradomallcrawlers I put my foot in my mouth so to speak. I did look up the Renegade specs and found that they do have a low range button ( although it's only 20:1 ). I do have to agree that the size is appealing. Although I wish I had a Liberty.
Looking forward to more renegade off road videos !! A little lift and a set of all terrains and he should be able to scoot right along.
Everyone makes fun of me for owning a renegade
That’s unfortunate. I think they’re great Jeeps and I’ve owned a wrangler consistently since the early 2000s. To me, it’s not the vehicle, it’s the driver, however I’ve seen Renegades do some crazy trails! One day, I hope to have one myself and thanks for watching!
