    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.

      @@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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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!

    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 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?

First time ever getting a automatic Jeep , I have been driving manual transmissions all my life. I hope the automatic does well off road . When I am in 4 low do I put it into drive ? And what is the correct way to go down a steep hill when you are in 4 low with the automatic please advise thanks

      So happy to hear you enjoyed our video and congratulations to you on your soon to be new Jeep. What you ordered is outstanding and really, there's no way you could build the same thing with aftermarket parts for less. As far as the automatic goes, I think you're gonna find that wheeling it is like cheating. I love manuals but if I'm totally honest with myself, EVERYTHING is easier with an auto. When you shift into 4LO, you need to be rolling about 1-3 mph and then shift into neutral before pulling the t-case shifter down. As far as descending steep hills, just put the transmission in manual mode and whatever low gear you feel is needed. It's just that easy.
