We took Archer "the 4 wheel drive expert" this year. He really enjoys being out on the trail and having a good adventure. We were learning how to film having him with us and did not catch as much footage as usual this year. I love the view of the Colorado River as you are entering and leaving this trail.

Redbird SRA Badge of Honor Trail 2X Sept. 3, 2023
Переглядів 26310 місяців тому
On day 2 at Redbird we start out on some of the easy trails behind the power line hill. Then we go over and start on Badge of Honor Trail 2X. Fortunately August had been dry and the trail was not horribly muddy. I still manage to get stuck in the mud and fall into one of the bigger mud puddles. By the time we left the park I had mostly dried out, but I have decided to carry a clean set of cloth...

On our first day at Redbird SRA we run 3 of the Jeep Badge of Honor Trails. We run trails 3, 5, and 3X. It really put my navigation skills to the test. I use Gaia GPS and record trails as I go. After the 1st half of the day, navigating got easier as I filled in tracks. I had downloaded a couple tracks, but found the ones I recorded worked better for me. It had been dry for a while before we wen...

This morning we rode through Governor basin and Sidney basin. I didn't know what to expect and I was really amazed with the scenery in the basins. Governor basin is ok with a stock rig, but Sidney basin you would want a little extra clearance.

This is a few little bits of our drive from Corkscrew to the top of Engineer pass. The weather was not all the way cooperating so we did not get a lot of footage this day. What we did get was really pretty.

Mama don't let your babies take Dana 30s into Pritchett Canyon!!

This is the first time I have taken my Jeep through Pritchett Canyon. It turned into a very challenging day. My power steering had gone out two days earlier. My front locker quit working on the first obstacle. Then on the way up yellow hill my ring and pinion started slipping and failed. I drove out about 15 miles with the front differential banging and grinding. It looks like it is time for so...

Elephant Hill March 2022

This video highlights our trail ride on the Elephant Hill trail in the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park. This is not as difficult as some of the trails we did this year, but the scenery was probably the best. We considered ourselves lucky to get to run this trail. You need a permit for this trail and they only allow 25 vehicles per day.

Please, - Which model of Range Rover is it exactly? - What is the brand and model of the car pulling the Range at 7:10 ?
That old Bronco half cab is awesome! I WANT ONE! 🤩
JUST SUBSCRIBED BRO !!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You gotta winch it up ? 😂
I had to winch a lot!
Rode thAt on my bicycle before the jeeps tore it up
Jeeps have been doing Pritchett for probably 50 years. Pretty sure the Red Rock four wheelers do more for trail maintenance than any other group in Moab.
I've done it a few times and we always have to pick up trash from the lazy mountain bikers who won't pack their garbage out.
Love it all, but special mention to that tiny 80's Jeep out there. That's just cool to see.
Does yours have open diffs?
This video is from shortly after I got ARB air lockers.
Both vehicles are pieces of shit
Super awesome video!!!!!! Loved it !!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
This is why the new non-unlockable front hubs suck......on my ancient CJ I could just unlock the Warn hubs and eliminate that horrible clunking and grinding.
These LR videos are always so funny. Like a hummer trying to do difficult trails. You can force it, but you probably shouldn’t.
Beautiful!
Range Rover killed it.!!!!!!!!!!!
In all reality you shouldn't be off roading in a jeep.
uh oh! Found the Jeep hater whos about to tell us why a Toyota is better...even though every brand has its share of major issues and ALL can be seen over and over again on YT
i got caught in a storm up there last week did not look anything like that.
It rained pretty hard every afternoon while we were up in the mountains, but I was not cold enough for snow in August.
For the newbies... are there bypasses for the harder obstacles?
Yes. We started on the north side and went south on the trail. When we came to the split in the road for the Wall it was very clearly marked that going to the wall was more difficult and required additional equipment.
We were on the Alpine Loop a few days after this video was shot and our rental company wouldn’t allow their jeeps on Poughkeepsie and certainly see why. Hwy 110 out of Silverton and up to the start of Poughkeepsie was probably the best 4 wheeling I’ve ever done. Fantastic video and thanks for sharing ❤
Wow what a improvement in drivetrain! Look forward to seeing you on the trails
We really look forward to seeing you again.
Thanks for that!!! My stock 4Runner wouldn't have had a chance. Very good video to show the difficulty 👍
The section of this trail with the Wall was the most challenging part of any trail we found on this trip. We did not take the time to go through the bypass, but I think a stock rig could get through very easy with the bypass. The difficult trail to the wall is very clearly marked when you get to the bypass.
anyone have a trail map to run this one?
Really the Range Rover is pretty amazing for 5 reasons: 1. Its about a decade older than the Jeep and Bronco. 2. Its doesnt have axle diff locks like they both do. 3. Its on low pro tires and regardless of type they don't get much longer when you air them down. 4. Its tows the same of the Bronco and much more than the Jeep. 5. Its road handling is much better than both. Now if you're a dedicated off-roader the Jeep and the Bronco are better when the going gets tougher beyond the Land Rover's traction control aid and the lack of articulation that it has with fully independent air suspension. Still considering the five things I named (especially the first 1st and 2nd ones) it's pretty damn good and when going on things that the Jeep and Bronco mad look as if you need a Jeep or Bronco to do then this fancy little Range Rover walks right up it. Now imagine if you put aftermarket lockers and found a way to put much thicker rubber on the Range Rover...
i replied to another comment by you but the RRS has up to 2 diff locks, one center and one optionally in the rear. It was actually the Discovery 2 that controversially didn't have a diff lock (the Range Rover-based Disco 1 did) and only relied on traction control. That was changed in 2004MY Disco 2's, and all subsequent LR3 models (that the Sport is based on) all had center diff locks standard.
@@joshxkerrigan yeah actually the only Discovery 2 that didn't have it in the transfer case was the 2003 my 2002 had it already in the transfer case you just need to get the lever
@@joshxkerrigan yeah they better have a center lock because that would be ridiculous making it just all wheel drive with low range haha I know the Center lock isn't like a traditional transfer case but the end result is the same front and rear drive shafts locked together no big deal
Owning my second Range Rover and having actually bashed my first one around a lot on trails lol, I love seeing others actually using them off road too! People can preach all they want about independent suspension and articulation. I had a great time and loved how gracefully they climb obstacles! All in maximum luxury lol
Came for the 4XE footage, but I gotta appreciate how well those old XJ's do. About 20 years ago I could've gotten an Eddie Bauer edition super cheap. I shoulda went for it.
Hi there, I really enjoyed your video, I am putting together an off road compilation of the Range Rover Sport, and wondered if you would like to be included?
Sounds good. Let me know what you come up with.
@@HTRNF67 Thank you, I will be sure to credit your channel as the source of the footage
@@HTRNF67 Thank you for your contribution: ua-cam.com/video/J5qvbNQAJ94/v-deo.html
I got through there with 26-in tires, rear wheel drive only with no locker, no winch.
Was the 30 locked?
It had a 30 spline Eaton e locker. The locker started acting up the day before the ring and pinion went out so I am not sure what caused the failure.
Let me guess....5.13s?
The old set up was 4.56s with 35" tires. With the 3.6L she was very perky set up this way. Going to 37s with 5.13s in the Dana 60s on order.
What kind of locker do you have in the Willys? Are you still using the stock LSD in the rear?
But my momma always said “Son, be proud of your Dana30. Don’t let them Dana60 boys push you around” 😢
Time to call Rory
Crawl under with the proper tools and remove the front driveline.
I carry the tools needed to remove either driveshaft. Unfortunately the ring and pinion gear had teeth break off inside the differential.
@@HTRNF67 My Bad. I've been there with a bent driveshaft but never with front gearbox breakage. Roll On Man!
Nothing about this looks like fun! Waiting in line behind 10 other Jeeps only to winch up obstacles while people sit around shooting vertical videos to show their Mall Crawlers on a rock....Hard Pass!
I agree… on the other hand… it’s nice to sit and watch before it’s your turn to dissect lines. Similar to snowboarding, paragliding, mountain biking, etc, it’s good to sit and watch sometimes…. SOMETIMES, not all the time.
I thought the definition of A Mall Crawler was one that didn't leave paved roads. Yet these guys were on the trails. 🤷♂️
The ol lil Bronco was the baddest crawler out there. I want one those!! I'm scared of jeepers creepers when you least expect a failure it happens.
2 doors are scary while rock crawling
< ------ Randon internet guy saying, time to upgrade to one tons and forties! What a range of builds in that group. Loved the white Bronco.
One tons are on order!
Impressed by the kids driving skills
Nice footage, keep it up
Nice vid!
Thank you
Was this trail called "Rock Stacker"?
Jeeps flex but they flex in the driveway broken most of the time . #chrysler
I think it pretty much comes down to articulation and tire choice. I'd expect the same performance from a Rubicon - Electric or not. Nice to see the Bronco out there. Range Rover really looked out of place though.
So awesome.
Wow!
Great video! that trail is tough with a large group
How often do you use your high lift jack?
I use it maybe once a year. Not really very often, but when you need it there is nothing else that can do what it does. I did end up needing to use the gas in the Rotopax on this trip.
Is that 4xe stock? No lift? 33 tires?
That is correct no lift and 33” tires on the 4XE. The Bronco was also stock with the Sasquatch package and 35” tires from the factory.
Honestly, given that the range rover will otherwise be far more comfortable, it's a winner.
I was really impressed with how well all three of these rigs did on this trail. The Range Rover did seem to have the most luxurious cab.
@@ronaldrrootiii6040 having owned that model RRS for years, i can tell you first hand it has up to 2 diff locks, one center (standard) and one rear (optional)
@@joshxkerrigan yeah I figured it had a middle one making it standard four-wheel drive. I never count the center diff cuz that just locks it into regular four wheel drive but that's cool it has a rear I didn't know that generation had a rear. If only they made it so you can manually lock it. I'm not a big fan of the auto locking. My D2 just has traction control and Center locked so basically regular four-wheel drive and traction control but my lr3 doesn't have any Everything Is Awesome still
What was the difficulty level of the trails you were on that day?
We did poison spider with the where eagles dare loop that is rated a 7.
I want to come and run my 19 ZR2 on trails rated a 2. That should match my skills😂
Its good for almost 3 tons range rover sport 👍🏼
