Elephant Hill Jeep Trail, "Get Skinny!"
I just started selling jeeps sitting in the rubicon now great vid
Where is this? Looks like a hill I climbed at Rail X. Can't seem to find that spot again would love if you could give directions on how to get to it.
Thank you Nena… really appreciate you taking time to reply with the video I wanted to see. I’ve subscribed here as I don’t use U-tube. Thank you … Woody
Exceptionally clear! Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you for making this video! I’m a visual leaner and this was helpful than reading or watching some only talk without doing the motion.
I'm glad it clicked for you!
Hi Nena… have enjoyed your videos but not sure you are still adding new ones. I saw one of yours in the past about jump starting a JL like mine. Can’t find that video and wish you’d add it here. Thanks Woody
Thanks! I did that video on FB, not sure I ever posted it here. I will!

Some guidelines on tire pressures for different types of road conditions and different types of tires would be helpful: sand, dirt-gravel, large rocks. For example how low can pressure be for a P (SL) rated tire that car mfg recommends 32 psi inflation and what would be good pressure for that tire on gravel road. When getting off pavement that 32 psi will be 34-35 from driving heat. Lowering it to 26 psi for example would really be 24 psi when it cooled after a while. Would that be safe driving 35-40 mph on dirt? Same question for LT E load tire, which require 44 psi for most SUVs. A hot E load tire will be 47-48 psi; lowering to 26 psi for gravel-dirt road would put it at 23 psi when cooled a bit. Is that safe for driving 35-40 mph on dirt road?
What size tires are you running? Looks as if larger tires are installed and the sway bar disconnect is on larger tires might rub fenders.
The Jeep in this video is wearing 35x12.50/17 on 17x9 wheels with a 4.75" backspace. She also has a 2-inch suspension lift (Mopar). Rubicons also have higher fenders flares than non-Rubicons.
I'm an "urban" 4X4'er this tutorial has to be the best one out there. Thank you so much for teaching me how to use those features.🫡🫡👌👌💯💯
Awesome, thank you!
God, such an amazing job explaining this. Phenomenal video my dear ❤
Thank you! <3
Do you need to shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd? And does this work in Manual?
150 lbs...Before for Lunch!..lmao!!!
;)
Great content as always. Thanks Nina! Off topic, what traction board mount is that?
What name of that kit u used there great idea
But it's not a jeep keep your family station wagy
Another way could be to use a small hydraulic jack. Balance the tire with one hand in the cup and the other to line it up and you can adjust weight and slide it directly on. I havent tried it but just an idea.
Try and lift a mud tire 15 inch wide with rim about 150 lbs. Those jeep tires are much lighter than most mudders. Tires alone are 90 to 100 lbs then add the huge rim. I wish mine were as lifht as yours.😅
Great explanation 👌
This was the best explained video ever. Thank you so much 😊
Glad you like it!
That's how I got my Pathfinder wheels on-- lifted with my feet-- did not see this video but my problem-solving instincts kicked in on their own : ).
If you're not a teacher you should be. Thank you!
MY 1971 LANDCRUISER (STOCK) CAN CLIMB THAT TERRAIN WITH NO PROBLEM
They can still double the mechanical force but use half the hardware smh this was over complicated and dangerous for sure.
I'm going back to that hill now Damb it .
The background is beautiful. Where is this? Also, does a lot of what your saying also aoply to the Gladiator Rubicon?
This is a really fun and beautiful trail.
thank you so much! i felt like you are so professionalized in wranglrer.
Newsome Ruined This Beautiful State 💩☠️
Great video. I did something to my left arm before Thanksgiving. May have been the 80 ft lbs with the torque wrench. May have been lifting the tire. Wished I'd seen this video about 40 years ago.
Heading out for Christmas can’t wait
Very well explained. I am new to Jeep. I learned from this video and enjoying the Rubicon like nothing other. Thank you.
Excellent ...so well explained..thank you!
Thank you so much. I wished I had watched your video instruction before I rotated my 33-inch tires on my Jeep tonight for the first time. You made it look so simple and easy. Especially the rear spare. I figured I would have to have someone help me put it back up if I ever needed to change to a spare.
Love the diesel.
This lady knows her shit
Ma'am I'm new to my 2024 Gladiator rubicon. I have factory installed rock guards installed on the pinch weld under the doors with Stock bumpers. Can a high lift jack be used on the rock slide guards? I hope this makes sense? The factory jack is used under the jeep on the axel. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks for making videos without all the fluff. Very informative.
I cannot tell you how much this has helped me! I have an SUV that I switch out summer and winter tires, and I always have to rely on someone else to load them in and out of my vehicle. I saw your video and decided to give it a try. For reference, this is a pretty big SUV with 37 inch tires with rims attached and I am 5’7, 130 pounds and I did it! The guys at the garage were so impressed that they didn’t charge me for the actual swap out. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much!
Awesome!! Great vid!! Thanks for taking me on the trail 🤙🏼
Great explanation!
With all respect, no you have not had a lot of requests of how to lift heavy tires 😁.
Great explanation, thank you. I have a question, does airing down make it easyer to lose the bead in rough terrain ?
Hi, I'm Italian and my English is not so perfect, the only thing I didn't understand is when I use the lockers does the Sbar have to be connected or disconnected or does it make no difference?
Great video. I learn alot from you. 👍🙏❤️
I’m 1800 miles into a ‘24 Willys, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to actually hit the dirt roads as the areas here in Southern California have been shut down because of the fires but doing a trip to Central California soon and would like to get on some fire roads, and around a little bit, I appreciate the axel locker sway bar tutorial makes sense thanks
🙏🙏
Great video. I just got a Rubicon and I'm guessing the rear axle will "sway" more than the front when the front sway bar is not disconnected, however, when the front is disconnected the reverse is true?
Do you think a bronco w/ Sasquatch package could handle this?
thanks for explaining this locker, was able to understand way better than others in youtube
Wow ! super clear !!!
Great video and an excellent explanation of these features on the Rubicon - thanks. I've just bought a Rubicon and your explanation is WAY better than the one provided by the dealership. Probably because you've more experience of using the vehicle seriously off-road than the salesman is my guess. I've now watched a few more of your excellent videos, they're enough to make a UK resident like me very jealous, but I've subscribed for the how-to lessons and great advice you give - thanks again
