Basic Off Road Tips for Beginners in a Bone Stock Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door Sport plus Rock Crawling

  • Опубликовано: 16 окт 2021
  • People new to Jeeps and or to off roading in general have been asking Cindy and I to make a video highlighting the some of the basics, tips and tricks that every newbie should know and for quite some time now. And, I have to say that we've been reluctant to do so if only because we know that we're not professionals or experts in anything and understand full well that the way we choose to do things isn't necessarily the right way, the best way or the only way. With that said, we finally got a chance to take Pippi, our bone stock, Jeep Wrangler JL 2-door Sport and with a stick, out on a trail known as Last Chance Canyon and to test her out on some rocks. And, while we were there, we decided to use the opportunity to film some of the things that we've learned over the years and share them with you. Things like, airing down your tires, disconnecting your front sway bar links, shifting into low range and picking a good line. Of course, the only thing we would ever hope for, is that the information you see might be of help to you someday.
    Oh, as an added bonus, you'll also get to see JET testing out his new 38" Nitto Ridge Grapplers out on the rocks. We hope you enjoy.

    Seriously, there isn't enough content around like this - what a stock base model can do, and how to do it. Everything is Rubicon's and built up rigs. Thanks for this. It really is going to help a lot of folks just getting started in the wheeling world.

Your video economically demonstrates 100% of what must be considered for safe and fun wheeling. Excellent advice and superb attitude. Love the Rubicon demo without ever saying a thing about it. I greatly respect your skill and attitude dealing with minimalism. Moreover, that base Wrangler can be built up, but starting out with a Rubicon is the most economical way to do it. Enjoyed.

    20 years ago we drove the “Big Jeep”. Long arm suspension , 35” tire, lockers and low gears. After awhile the fun and challenge of off roading lost its luster. When I stepped into my buddies Manuel TJ Sport on 31/10.5 15”s I had more fun on small simple obstacles than driving the Hammers on my built rig. It’s nice to be able to take the built rig out without limitations, but it’s also enjoyable to go explore and test yourself with the simple things. Thank you for the video brings back a lot of great memories.

    My wife and I lived in the Mountain West from 1982 to 2007 during which time we bought three new 4WD vehicles and a few used ones. Each of the three new ones had list prices under $19,000, manual transmissions, standard steel wheels, factory skid plates and recovery points and open differentials. None of them were lifted and we used 235/75R15 tires on all three of the ones we bought new.
    We drove those three vehicles on about 200 camping and picnic trips to more than 100 different locations, often using primitive (unimproved) or badly neglected and rutted roads to places many miles from the nearest paved roads.
    In 2008, our daughter totaled the last of those three vehicles so I’ve had to content myself with watching videos of other people driving 4WD vehicles. I think people with little or no 4WD experience would learn more useful information (and perhaps gain more inspiration) from watching this video than from watching any of the other dozens of videos I’ve seen so far - maybe even more than watching ALL of the other videos I’ve seen so far.

    I run with guys who are constantly paranoid! They worry constantly about needing 37's, a 6 inch lift and a winch...I laugh and tell them they worry too much. What you do need are good skills, a good spotter and sensibility. Just don't do a trail that is beyond the capability of your rig....because no matter how capable your rig is, there's a trail that you won't be able to do. It was refreshing to see a trail run done with just the basics. Thank you.

    Have owned my 2012 sport 2 door manual since brand new. I bought a set of used rubicon wheels off of Craigslist a year later and I've never felt the need to modify anything else since. It still amazes me what my jeep can do.

I really love the looks and amazing capability of the “fully built” jeeps, but to me this showcased just how much a regular wrangler can do with a good team working through the obstacles without lockers, automatic trans, AT tires or even the factory LSD. This is the way.

      Yes, but look at what actually got scratched, his 1/2 price Craig's List rock guards and maybe his stock rims? This goes to show the stock TJ could do the job with tires you can live with on the street and get great gas mileage with too. Plus, just like he got his used "new take-off" rock guard from a Rubicon owner who no doubt took it off to replace it with some gnarly rock rails, you can also buy all those "new take-off" wheel and tire packages from all those Rubicon & Willys owners on Craig's List on the cheap and then Pippy would be unstoppable and have a second set of "hiking shoes" for off-roading. ... Like their dog does. Loved that video clip BTW when the dog tried on his rubber boots!

      I also noticed that every time you took a less than optimal line it was only because you were fighting the stick/clutch and had less than smooth throttle modulation. (You are definitely an expert and definitely modest about it) You obviously have a lot of Jeep toys with manuals in your stable and I'll bet some of those vintage ones are manuals. I'm wondering why you thought the stick would be better than the "stock" automatic for Pippy? I love manuals for classic road cars & sports cars (& I live in an area with big city traffic issues, where slow, stop & go with my manuals suck) but for low speed and/or off-road driving?? How can the manual be a benefit to you guys for Pippy?
