Basic Off Road Tips for Beginners in a Bone Stock Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door Sport plus Rock Crawling
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- 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.
Awesome! So glad to hear you can appreciate what we're trying to do and show with Pippi 😎
Amen. Wife has a stock 2015 Wrangler Unlimited been trying to learn more about basics, capabilities, limitations. Want to use the vehicle more for family outings, since we have it. More basics videos would be great!
@@wayalife it's a shame the JL forum still holds a grudge and won't allow links to any of your content. This is something most of the members would really get a kick out of seeing...and it answers those ever present forum questions: Do I need lockers? Do I need a lift? Do I need 35's...or 37's? Do I need a Rubicon to do serious wheeling?
@@prhanson Happy to hear a video like this was useful to you. 😎
@@speed33169 LOL - that's funny. I'm not a member of any other forum but mine and can't imagine what I could have done to cause one to hold a grudge against me and to the point where they censor links to our videos. Oh well, I'm glad that you found us and can only hope others who could benefit from the information we share, do as well.
On behalf of all two door, stock, JL owners everywhere, thank you for posting such inspirational and fabulous content!
Thank you. We're so glad that you enjoy our videos of Pippi. 😊
2 door or no doors!!
@@epicurusgod 4 doors, 2 doors or no doors 😉
@@OffRoadQC 4 door 4 life
Yes!!
Thank you for making videos like this. Not all of us have the budget for built rigs. Truly appreciate it.
We're happy to hear there are people like you who can appreciate what we're trying to do with this stock Jeep 😎
Agree 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for taking Pippi over the tough sections too. Not being afraid to bang a rail and scrape those wheels! and, most importantly, not embarrassed to show all the times you dropped the clutch! real people doing real things
So glad you enjoyed our video and could appreciate it for what it is 😎
Refreshing to see a stock Jeep wheel; Its way more interesting to watch the skills of the driver than some built out rig. Great video!
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed our video 😎
You know man. When you said in the end you’re not expert, this is a solid proof how much humble and genuine you’re. You’re making one of the best content in RUclips but you still saying you’re not expert. Too much respect for you. Thanks for the hard work and great content. 👍
Thank you. I am flattered and humbled that you would say as much. I hope our videos are helpful to you.
It’s so easy to get caught up watching videos with beefed up rigs that it’s a breath of fresh air to see y’all doing these videos in a stock Jeep. It’s all about fun as you have shown. Thanks again and keep them coming.
We're so happy that you enjoyed our video and like what we're doing with Pippi 😎
I’m impressed with a basic jeep as this one. Not lifted and fitted. This was a great video to help buyers
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
Just shows you don’t need to break the bank to get out and have fun. Love the contrast between the two Rigs 👍
That's what we're trying to show with Pippi. You can have a ton of fun, just as is. 👍
Yep. The difference between the two were great to see. Also nice to show getting stuck, and unstuck. More relatable.
@@wayalife Looking at what Pippi can do off of the showroom floor vs what my old 1978 Chevy Luv 4X4 could do, even with a lift and 31" tires...
Yeah. Just break ur jeep.
Cindy is quite an impressive off road driver. Props to her.
Cindy is flattered that you would say as much.
If you're new at the channel, you ain't seen nothing yet
@@harrisaxer2651 no, been watching for years. I just felt the need to call it out. :)
Yup, I was impressed with Cindy angling up (and over) to the steep rock to avoid hitting the front bumper overhang and increasing the approach angle considerably. That wasn't all her spotter!
Just wow! First time I see a stock JL sport (even street tires seems like it) wheeling on RUclips. I’m impressed, but mostly the skills of the driver 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad we could share this with you and that you enjoyed our video 😎
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.
It's a funny thing. I often see guys in built up rigs struggling over obstacles that an experienced driver in a stock one can kill.
you are by far my hero!!!!!!! I couldn't stop smiling the entire video. You my friend are hard core. I have ALWAYS driven JEEPs my whole life. But this was the coolest , to see a stock JEEP go through what it did. Amazing.
LOL - flattered that you would say as much and we're glad that you enjoyed our video. 😊
What a great video. To see a stock two door with literal street tires off road so well. Inspirational.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Finally someone makes a video with a Stock jeep . Thanks mate .
Glad you liked it! 😎
Man - thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been thinking about exactly that model - the cheapest Wrangler I could buy. This video is by far the best I've seen at what it's capable of in stock configuration - and it's amazing! Holy crap that thing can climb, considering it's 100% stock and the cheapest model.
Happy to hear you enjoyed this video 😎
I honestly don't know why your channel doesn't have more subs. Your video production is some of the best I've watched on YT.
We're humbled that you would say as much. Thank you.
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.
Awesome. Glad we could take you back.
Probably the best, most informative video on jeep basics out there. Great advice and showcasing of what a bone stock JL can do.
Really happy to hear you found our video to be informative 😎
I never ever ever comment on videos, ever. Gotta say you are the man! This is a clear example of how capable a stock Jeep really is. That stock Jeep did the same line as that rubi and handled it. Bravo for making this
Thank you. We're so glad that you enjoyed our video enough to comment on it. 👍
I have watched this several times and I am just so darn impressed by the quality of the instruction AND the quality of the production. The real-world demonstrations of the truck’s capabilities, and the techniques you need to use, made it look like it was kind of just a documentary of a day on the trail, but the situations were obviously chosen to demonstrate each point. The episode was scripted, filmed and edited very professionally.
We are truly flattered and humbled that you would say as much. Thank you.
Love your humility and willingness to help others! By the way really enjoying the CB Bar! Thanks!
Thank you and so happy to hear you like your CB BAR! 👍
@@wayalife Liked your talk on radio options. I have been trying to make a choice for a while now. My neighbor is a serious radio guy. Has his own HAM tower, installs mobile radios for a living. Asking him questions about what is best for me, I always get pushed to the high end solutions.
I would never have guessed a stock Jeep would be able to handle some of the stuff you did here. Great video!!!!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
The articulation from even a basic jeep like pipi is kind of insane! It really puts what even a wrangler sport can do in perspective. Ngl I am shocked and impressed and now I want one. Lmao
LOL - glad you enjoyed our video and you really should get one :)
This is such a great video and very refreshing. Just goes to show that you don't need a 70k Jeep to go 99.9% of places - a 30k one is just fine with a good driver mod, and maybe more fun! Thanks for making this!
Really happy to hear you enjoyed our video and coming from a guy who owns multiple Jeeps that are extremely built, I can tell you that wheeling something as basic as this really is in a lot of ways, a lot more fun.
Send this video over to the "lockers before lights" off-roaders that claim you can't offroad without a Dana 44! Love the closing statement! thanks man.
LOL - well, like I say in the video, I'm no expert and would never pretend to know as much as the lockers before lights off-roaders out there.
Wow it’s just much more fun to watch a stock jeep on trail vs a heavily mod Jeep.
LOL - glad you enjoyed our video :)
Nice! I love that your dog is sleeping in the back through the obstacles.
LOL - glad you enjoyed the video :)
That was me day 1 out the dealership. Video should've been called "Carnage" 😖
You guys are great drivers! Thanks for all the tips and taking the time to make this video. Found all the info valuable.
I've watched this video a half a dozen times and every moment was exciting. THANKS FOR SHARING
Really happy to hear you enjoy this video, thank you.
First is was where to place the bottle jack to change a tire. Now it's how to disconnect the sway bar. I love it! The type of content us newbies need, and no one seems to be doing. Except for Wayalife. Keep it coming!
Happy to hear you've been enjoying our videos. More to come for sure 😎
The best driving I’ve seen on RUclips. You’re a beast man. Thanks for this video. As you can tell from the comments everyone appreciates it.
Truly humbled that you would say as much and really appreciate it. Thank you and happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😊
True to life excellence: Bloody knuckles from the fun of manually disconnecting sway bar, plus large, squashed bug on windshield. :)
LOL - glad you enjoyed our video :)
We went to the Jeep Adventure Academy in Hollister Hills. My wife did all the driving in our stock Willys Ecodiesel. Amazing how capable the vehicle is.
Awesome!
Wow! Thank you. I would not have tried the rocks - my total lack of experience. The planning you mentioned is so excellent. Thanks!
Awesome! We're so glad that you enjoyed our video and found it to be useful. 😎
Jesus! One of the most amazing videos! Basic newer wrangler with soooo little done and bro… you did it. I have to say this is my fav video to date!!! PS: your shots and editing and music are just… Chef’s kiss!!!
We're truly humbled to hear you say as much and glad to know you enjoyed our video. 😎
I will wholeheartedly agree with the others. Thanks for sharing how a two door, stock Jeep , can get the job done. Very refreshing, keep the great videos coming.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it 😎
Try removing those bolts in the northeast…lol rust sets in quick. If I heard the metal mashing on my Jeep I would freak out. Great video!
This is how Off Roading should be! Simple machine taking on difficult challenges with practical off road handling skills. Great video!
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the video :)
Just purchased my first Wrangler. A new Willys with v6, auto, and 35's. Being new to wheelin', it was very informative to see a Sport go places I would not even consider. Picked up some pointers with ledges higher than a front bumper and the ledge on steep slop like that on "graduation hill." Still, with my Willys, I would be taking all the by-passes. Also, thanks for the links to tools and equipment.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video
Great advise. You made a point to help those who are getting started into the Jeep r off roading for the first time. To have the basic tools before going off road and never go alone! Awesome advise sir!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video. Thank you.
This is actually real off roading. And this is proper skill. Shows it can be done with a stock jeep if you know how to do it
Glad you enjoyed the video and yes, a stock Jeep is plenty capable right out of the box.
Finally someone showing what a bone stock Sport can do! Great video!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed seeing this :)
Thank you. I've been wheeling for over 50 years; know all about doing it with manuals and no lockers. 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.
Truly humbled that you would say as much and happy to know that you enjoyed our video.
WOW. I am super impressed with Pippi! This is by far the. Best. Off-road video I can recall ever watching. At least from the perspective of what a stock base Wrangler is capable of. Sorry TFL, the bar has been raised, the gauntlet. Thrown. Down.
Thank you. We're truly flattered that you would say as much.
Love that you demonstrated this on the stock tires. I have the exact ones and while I don’t think I’m ready to do what you did, I have faith those tires can handle the less rockier trails I want to visit. 😄
LOL - gotta give it to Jeep for making a great off road vehicle, right out of the box.
I love my Gladiator but sometimes I get the itch for a basic 2 door Wrangler and this didn't do me any favors. Sometimes simple is fun. No big money coilover kit, no fancy beadlock wheels and several thousand in tires, just simplicity and practicality. Obviously has it's limitations but what doesn't at some point?
Amazing work on the video as always Eddie and Cindy.
Thank you. We're happy to hear you enjoyed our video and couldn't agree more with you.
The beauty of the gladiator is driving it to the trail, on the trail and back. With a simple two door, you’ll quickly want to tow it… and every trip will become either off-road or normal vacation :)
So good to see how a stock JL and probably Jk, TJ , can rock crawl without lifts, lockers, big tyre's etc..
It's all about driver control and picking the correct line. Well done.
Thank you. We're glad that we could share this with you and that you enjoyed it.
Probably the best content video ive seen on off roading
Truly tired if all the super build videos. Awesome to see a stock daily driver jeep tearing it up. .
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
One viewer, Fred M. said he would never have tried some of those obstacles himself due to lack of skill. Me too. At one point as you were planning your line for some scary rocks, for a brief second I saw that there was enough room to drive around the obstacle! An even better line? LOL. But, by the end of the vid I saw that most of the obstacles had a convenient bypass. (there is nothing like these trails that is not private land where I live) We are grateful to have Waylife videos to show us what can be done in the stock 2 door TJ instead of the newbie carnage that could happen when we try to answer the question ourselves! But that is fun for many folks that knowingly choose not to use the bypass.They are not on their way to a campsite, I see that those rocks ARE the destination!
We're glad that you enjoyed our video and yes, most of the hardest obstacles all had bypasses. We were purposefully taking them to show people like yourself that it can be done and in a totally bone stock 2-door Sport. 😎
Great Video! I love the fact that you showed how challenging crawling a manual actually is. Thanks
Thank you. It's a challenge for sure but a ton of fun.
What a humble gentleman. Thanks you kindly sir for your knowledge.
Happy to hear you found our video to be informative.
@@wayalife question. We bought a 2020 keep gladiator, and it appears to have a rough country suspension. The truck looks lifted but don’t know how many inches it was. I tried calling rough country but they needed the serial number of the shocks. Would you happen to know how to figure this out. Plus we added 18 inch black rhinos on 35s. Thank you and look forward to your response.
@@coupleinarizona8900 I am sorry but if Rough Country couldn't help out, I'm not sure how I could. If you're just running 35's, I would have to guess a 2-2.5" lift at most.
@@wayalife thanks you and be safe.
Well done!! A stock Jeep, a good eye & common sense goes a long way…….miles of experience helps too! You made it look so easy. Loved it!
LOL - Thank you. We're happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
The true champion of this video is Pippy the JL actually is a really well designed jeep I have to say I agree with him on the trac cntl as well
Couldn't agree with you more. 😎
Love getting that Wayalife video notification! Thanks Cindy and Eddie!
LOL - so glad to hear it. Thank you.
Recognizing that I am a newbie, however I’ve watched lots of Wheeling content and I have to say that’s the most impressive display of skill that I have seen. I’ve heard it say that equipment is a crutch for skill and you certainly demonstrated that.
I'm humbled that you would say as much. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your vid. I think I am glad I just purchased an A-Transmission. It took skill to do what you just showed us. I cried a little with your scrapes. Keep up the vids.
LOL - glad you enjoyed the video and yes, an auto is much better for this kind of stuff.
Absolutely amazing video. This is way more informative and entertaining than watching mega built rigs. I’ve always been interested in how much a stock vehicle can do, which is way more than most will ever do anyway. I can’t believe those street tires didn’t pop. Love it!
Thank you. We're so happy to hear you found our video to be informative and entertaining. 😎
I think it is underrated taking a stock jeep out and having fun. Being underbuilt can be a fun challenge. I've seen guys get flat out bored in their highly built wranglers when I'm still having fun in my mildly built Jeep
On another note, the way to tackled that v-notch was awesome.
Couldn't agree with you more. 👍
This has been a great series so far! New Jeep owners would be better served to spend their money on gas and time on the trails than the latest "parking lot hero" accessories. Seen several people spend a few thousand dollars on lift, wheels and tires only to realize a Jeep isn't for them. Always good to see Ripley!
Awesome! Happy to hear you've been enjoying our Pippi Project and of course, Ripley too 😎
I've run a stock JK 2dr sport for over a dozen years and still learned something new from this. Thanks and Subbed!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
This was one of the best videos I have seen. Love the bone stock manual 2 door and reasonable trail. 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.
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
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'm sorry to hear you no longer have a 4WD but happy to hear you found this video of our to be beneficial to others. I hope that you are able to get back out on the trail someday soon.
🔥💯 Thoroughly impressed with the bone stock spec. Watching it on the trail with street tires…PRICELESS!! Another gem 💎 of a video. 🇺🇸😎
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed our video 😎
Thank you for making this video and showing that it is possible to trial ride in a stock jeep. I agree with the post, that there aren't enough videos showing how to for beginners in a stock jeep. My wife and I just purchased our first jeep last year and are looking at upgrades. This video is very helpful for a beginner like me. Again thank you.
Awesome! Congratulations to you and your wife on your new Jeep and we're so happy to hear that our videos are helpful to you 😎
This video is absolutely awesome! Thank you for showing us how good the most basic model can rip on pretty gnarly stuff
Glad you liked it! 😎
I'm insanely impressed with how a stock JL can do some nice offroading!
This was an awesome video. I live in Florida so we don’t have large rocks and this is the closest I can get onto an off-road adventure. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am amazed at what you did in this stock Jeep. Thank you for sharing.
Happy to hear you enjoyed seeing what a stock Jeep can do 👍
As I have a 2 dr JL manual sport this was awesome to see what it is capable of. Now I am ready for winter snow lol lol. Thank you for a great video!
Awesome! Glad to see another out there with a 2-door and manual and that you enjoyed our video 👍
I realize this video has been out for a while but I just came across it. Yes it was cring-worthy at times but I was blown away. I'm watching it thinking there is NO way he's going to be able to do that...but you did. In a stock Sport JL manual! Extremely well done and an awesome way to show everything a completely stock Jeep can do. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rock crawling is 100x harder in a manual. Thank you for showing the reality of stalling.
It's a challenge for sure but a lot of fun too. 😎
Having a Rubicon with the 4:1 t-case makes it a lot easier.
Its the gears. That thing is horrendous in the Sport. I had one. On top of the numerous issues I had with my clutch. Imo.
Your Wife, is a Total BADASS at off-roading!!
LOL - she is a driver for sure.
You did a very good job. This is an excellent video for my two sons that bought jeeps and are starting to 4-wheel. I have been off-roading myself for 30 years but don't have the patience that you exude in this video. Great job, I sent this video to both my sons that are going to offer this weekend.
Cool to see someone that knows what they're doing show how capable a STOCK Wrangler on Passenger tires can be.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😎
Great stuff, really digging these intro/basics videos with pippi 😎
Awesome! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying our Pippi videos 😎
I remember watching this video about a month after ordering my '22 Willys Sport 2 door. It only had two options: tow package and A/C. This video gave me confidence that I could do a fair bit of off-roading here in New Hampshire. After wheeling it all summer with a local Jeep club, I'm here to report that it was more than up what this area has to offer. Mud, water crossings, loose rock, ledges, up or down steep grades. It's been a blast. Thanks again for the Pippy series.
Awesome! So glad to hear you're enjoy our Pippi Project and that you're having a great time in your Jeep!
Love the content of vids Pippi brings.
Good foundation of basics is paramount to being better at anything.
Awesome. Glad to hear you can appreciate our videos of Pippi.
That was the the best Jeep review I have seen
Awesome! Happy to hear you enjoyed our video.
Oh well a few scratches, but damn even a stock jeep can wheel- to a limit! Your built rig just rolls through barely breaking a sweat. Good stuff Wayalife. Cheers. ( now suspension, tires, some hardware) it never ends!
LOL - oh yeah, it's more of a challenge stock but a lot of fun :)
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!
Hello from Brazil, I'm amazed by your simplicity and ease of tips. Nothing fancy, instead all really useful.
Thank you very much!
Used to have a 1997 TJ, loved it!! That was an excellent demonstration of the capabilities and limitations of stock vs. modified-nice job; very well made video!
The biggest takeaway I received is how much of an advantage having an automatic is while off-roading! Wheels down!
Thank you. We're happy that you enjoyed the video and yes, as much as I enjoy driving a manual, an automatic is better off road.
Thank you for posting this video and all the other videos you have posted!! I am a new Wrangler owner and do not have a community to Jeep with and I have learned so much from you! Thank you! Keep them coming please!
Really happy to hear you enjoy our videos! If you're interested, we have a great online community of Jeepers over on wayalife.com :)
@@wayalife thank you! I will check it out!!
Impressive run through the canyon! Always enjoy watching what these Jeeps can do whether built or stock!
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Impressive what a good driver and a stock JL can do. The built Jeep going through the V notch is quite impressive. Awesome articulation. Great content, Cheers.
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video :)
Wow, really impressive on what that stock JL can do!
Jeep really has done a great job with their Wrangler. The traction control on them is amazing.
I love this! If you watch RUclips you'd think everyone is running 37's and big lift kits, but in the real world the majority of people off-road on near-stock 4x4.
Glad you enjoyed our video and what we're trying to show with our Pippi Project. 👍
Eddie I really appreciate the passion and work you and Cindy put into these videos! Thank you! You and Cindy are an awesome couple wheeling the Jeep’s!
Why thank you. We're truly flattered to hear you say as much and happy to hear you enjoy our videos. 😊
This makes me feel better about wheeling my manuals! I have to manual wranglers and I am terrified to try the rocks!
It's a challenge but it clearly, it can be done. Just try not to worry about stalling and take your time.
Great video as usual! Thank you for spelling out your thoughts so we can all learn from your experience!
Thank you. We're so glad you found our video and my silly thoughts to be helpful 😊
I showed this video to my jeep 🚙. And it said I told you so. Thanks for sharing this with us 🇺🇸🙏.
LOL - awesome 😁
Hats off!! In this short video, you showed all the fundamentals of off-roading for newbies. Airing down, swaybar disconnect, taking the right line, deciding when to take a by-pass, seeking help. But, more importantly, you demonstrated that newbies can off-road with a stock Wrangler (I have a JL Willys) without dropping thousands of dollars on gear. Thank you. How can I reach out to you for learning more one to one?
Thank you, we're so happy to hear you were able to find our video to be helpful to you. I can always be reached on our WAYALIFE.com forum. :)
Wow--in the first 10 minutes--I have learned much to get started! I have 2 Jeeps---depending on which I'm comfortable going off-roading--I'm ready for a adventure!
Awesome! So glad to hear our video has been helpful to you.
Great job PIPPI! Man, that sick gave you fits. Great video you two. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
LOL - it's a challenge for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video 😎
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?
Just bought my first Jk and I love watching your videos!
Awesome! Glad to hear it and congratulations to you :)
Amazing! I was just recommended this video, I’m hooked!
Why thank you. So glad you enjoyed it! 😎
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.
They really are amazing just as is 👍
Awesome video! So cool to see a stock JL take on some rock crawling and do really well. Thanks for the lesson 🙂
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎

Flattered to hear you say as much. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Excellent vid. Thank you. Been waiting for this one. Love seeing the base platform of the sport performing in the rocks. Very fun! Git along little doggies.
