Will My Jeep Even Make it Up this Trail? - Die Trying

  • This trail is rated a 9 out of 10 and doing this trail with a rooftop tent is not advised, but with a great spotter, the new Icon suspension and Cooper tires I just installed, my Jeep just might make it up. Die Tryin trail is 1.2 miles of hard, technical boulders and is located in Montrose, CO and is hands down the most difficult rock crawling trail I've ever been on. #rocklander #jeep #jeepwrangler

      Looking back, if I would have known what I was getting into I probably would have skipped this trail. I still had Moab and a 750 mile drive home to do.... if I would have broken down on this trail, it would have put a damper on my trip.

    Trail definitely stood up to its name.
    I‘m actually really looking forward to a suspension follow-up video.
    Did you gain any more lift with the new system? Looks to me like you’re currently still sitting at 3.5 inches of lift, but I might be mistaken.

      It won't be something I do often, but once and a while it's fun to challenge your vehicle.

    Wish I lived near good trails. I have to drive 2.5 hours just to go beach and dune wheelin. Great video!
