Off-Roading At Wolf Caves - Did I Forget How to Rock Crawl in my Jeep??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Its been a very long time since Cassie aka @JeepGearGadgets and I have went rock crawling...
In fact, the last actual Offroad trip we took was 9 months ago at Windrock Park in TN.
We made a day trip up to Mason Texas to visit Wolf Caves Offroad Park.
I drove the JKU and Cassie took our Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.
Wolf Caves has a ton of amazing offroading to offer. Everything from scenic trails, moderate rock crawling, and even some crazy things that even a built Jeep on 40s cant handle!!
Since this was our first trip in a long time, we decided to hit some fairly easy trails. Even some of the "easy" trails can be pretty challenging with some fun rock ledges.
The park is very large, and going with someone familiar with the area would be ideal.
Overall it was a great trip, and its always a great feeling when you can spend a day in the rocks putting your rig to the test!
Cassie did great in the Jeep Gladiator, and her video of the trip will be posted on her channel soon. She took the JT up some cool obstacles and we were able to really test out the offroad performance of the Rubicon.
I know a lot of you guys are waiting for the Yokohama Tire review, that will happen very soon! But they did great on this trip, both on road and offroad.
The new Barnes4wd aluminum tie rod also held up great, and i even think it took some hits during its first offroad trip haha. Remember that you can always get 10% off anything from www.barnes4wd.com using the code jkgear.
The oil catch can is also something that a lot of you have showed interest in, so i will probably make a video on how to setup a cheap DIY catch can setup for around $30. Stay tuned for that!
Oil Catch Can i will be using in that video: amzn.to/3lNbFAB
Like always, thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next episode of JK Gear and Gadgets!
What’s your favorite Offroad Park?
Just went to wolf caves a few weeks ago. Hands down my favorite park!
I've heard great things about Hidden Falls. We might make it out there from San Antonio.
I love wolf caves
Still Water Ranch just outside of Fredericksburg, TX
I'm partial to hidden falls because it is 30 minutes away, and the facilities are awesome. Plus the skeet range is nice.
Editing through the JT footage now. Can’t wait to get back up there and do a group ride or something over a weekend!
I'm only 3 hrs from Wolf Caves and only 4.5 from y'all! Would be awesome to do a group ride!
If you do a group ride ill be down to go i live down here in the valley too
You might find that the Jeep legal team is working their way around and many groups and such are opting to change their names to remove the word Jeep and ANY variation thereof (vs being told what to do and how)......something to consider for the change. ESPECIALLY if you get any kind of $$ funding $$ on these channels. Maybe JT gear and gadgets so you already have a decent audience in place funneling from here?
An install video on the oil catch can would be great. Always enjoy videos from both channels!!
Welcome to Central Texas! Thanks for the shout out to Ft. Hood Military Jeepers. We consider that one of our home parks, so next time give us a shout out before you come up. We love you guys. And...we have plenty of JT's to follow Cassie.
As a JT owner was glad to see what Cassie was able to do in the JT and look forward to seeing her channels coverage of the JT on this trip!
Wolf caves is amazing.The place is huge and stepping up to the Reds and Purples will really spice things up. They are so many trails its hard to remember where everything even is.
Lol. Dry humping. Great vid!
That had me laughing too! lol
Great video again guy's . Looked like a lot of fun . Looking forward to Cassie's video on her channel of the Gladiator . Take care and be safe .
At least you guy's found some rocks in Texas!!!🤙🤙
“Oh no the croc is right there” that was so bad! 😂🤣
We are from Tn, went to AZ this year but stopped at a park in TX, I was AMAZED how how much grip the rocks have out West!
Glad to see you redound rocks to bash on buddy, stay safe!
I vote yes on the catch can install video. Keep up the good work!
Great video, that was a lot of LOWS, LOL. Can't wait for a group ride!
Yes!!! Catch can install!!
I love the fact that both of y'all have channels, and both wheel so well! Hard to find couples on here where both people wheel and do it well
Power couple! The absolute best jeep channel hands down
Looking Good Cassie in the JT...!
Katempcy is there in Mason as well. Same type of terrain and rocks.
I vote, yes, on the catch can video. 👍
SMORR is one of the best we’ve been to. Love the videos guys
Glad you got to do some wheeling - great video 👍🏻
First! Awesome to see you guys out having fun!
Yes, do an install video of the oil catch can!
I'm interested in an install video of the catch can. Great video of the JK eating some rocks. Looking forward to Cassie's video of the JT.
Great videos as always guys love to see a video an install of the oil catch can! Thanks
Awesome guys!
I say she keeps her channel name the same. You guys should try to make it up to crossbar ranch sometime, its in Southern Oklahoma. Crossbar would be a good place to have a big group ride for a day or two.
I have a good friend up there. cant wait to make a trip up!
Y’all need to head up to Bridgeport ,TX Northwest OHV Park. It’s a Badge of Honor Trail and has lots of fun obstacles. Just watch out if you drive in the water and mud, it has hidden boulders that can wreck you really quick, and the water has some significant deep spots that can swallow you up.
Great videos. Love you guys.
I’d like to see the catch can install.
Please do an install video on your JT “oil catch can”. Thank you
I love that place. spooky at night...
Awesome as alway. Let’s see an install video for the catch can on the jt 🙏🙏🙏
This place looks awesome
I would love to see an install video on the catch can! It’s definitely something I would install on my JK
Gaia GPS will solve the problem of not know where you are at. Just download the map layers of the area you will be before hand and you are good to go. The added value of using Gaia is the included map layers and features like track recording. I usually keep the National Parks MVUMs overlayed on a topo map. I add a bit of relief shading to make the map 3D.
For sure install video! I wanna put one in mine. Same 3.8L. So I’d love to see how it’s done.
love the video it was great video my favorite
I've not done any rock crawling but this made it look fun. Good job!
6 hours to wheel, that’s balls, 20 minutes from me I have some of the best trails in Canada.
Ardbeg?
Would like to see the oil catch can install especially on the JT. Last time I was wheeling on a 35° uphill I started smoking like crazy!
Now you will have to to the Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree. I heard the rocks there also have incredible grip.
Nice Vid Ben , Wish I had access to places like that here in INDY.
Yes, vid on catch can
looked pretty fun.
Makes me miss Texas. Lived in Austin a couple years back. Check out Katemcy thats down the road from Wolf Caves.
Looks fun!
It was nice meeting y'all out on the trails. Nice surprise!
I was the "other" red JKU.
Thank you for the footage.
Hidden falls is pretty much home base for Fort Hood Military Jeepers.
We would love to show y'all the hot spots one weekend, if you are interested.
Keep up the great work!
Try Katempsy rocks right next door. They are only open for private events ,so it’s fun to go when open.
Gotta give the JT more credit man. I have a 1/2 rack with roam tent on top. I’m too lazy to take it off. It wheels just fine. Don’t even notice it up there when playing on rocks. Great vid tho. Would love to make it out west in the future. But for now, ill stick to east coast wheeling. Cheers!
Awesome
I’d love to see an install of a catch can....great stuff as always!!!
I’m excited for Cassie’s video!
Dude seriously? No invite for the local boys. We would have loved to go up. We're probably going up the 24rd and 24th of this month. You should come with us.
Ill be there 23rd - 24th!
Great off-roading
Thank you!
Man that looks like a good time man.
Great seeing y’all at wolf caves! We will wheel with y’all next time we see each other again!
Definitely do an install video
Install video definitely on the catch can on the jt
There’s really fun free off-roading/mudding in bastrop if y’all are interested. It was a subdivision that never got built and has been turned into some off-road trails
Crocodile Dundee accent is pretty awesome
Catch can install on the JT for sure. Been looking into them for mine 🤙🏼
This channel began my obsession with the JT and led to me buying my first Jeep JTR!🤟🤪
Also a 6 hr drive either way is a huge drive for a day of wheeling!😳
Do an oil catch can install on the Gladiator pretty please. 🙏🏼
Catch can on gladiator for sure.......please !!!
Love the footage, looks like you guys had some fun!
I know Baldy’s had an event at Wolf Caves last weekend. Hopefully you guys were able to participate! I was wheeling at Hidden Falls.
Im interested in the catch can and the benefits.
Install on the catch can! Looking to do this soon on my Jeep!
There’s a another off-roading park near me in Gilmer, Tx. “Barnhill Mountain Recreation Area” y’all might like. But it’s definitely a drive from where you are and they offer camping so you can bring the JT with the RTT. They also offer cabins I think if you only bought the JK. Enjoying y’alls videos keep up the great work.
Chris looking good around 8:30 in
Not your typical business, enjoy yourselves
Looks like fun.
It was a blast!
Nice vid. I'd like to see how to install an oil catch can on my 3.8l.
I see y'all met my boys! Feel free to link up with us (Fort Hood Military Jeepers) any time you're in the area. We have a great selection of parks in the area.
Great video. Looks like a great trip. Miss wheeling with you. BTW when are we going to see the LJ wheeling?
Thanks Trey, hope youre doing well!! And hopefully soon!
Super bummed you couldn't make it out a few weeks ago when me, hollie, nick and the Great American Crawl were there.. "beeeeeeeennnn" 😅
I've been waiting on that Viper throttle body upgrade video, The oil catch can install video would be cool too.
Would love to see your video on the oil catch can, selling the 2012 wrangler and picking up a 2020 Rubicon Gladiator, cant wait to start the mods
Oil catch can video install!!
I'm going down to Texas this upcoming summer, we need to meet up.
Would love to see an install of the oil catch can and get more user info of what it does and is it really worth it.
Can u please make a video on how you are shiftin? Some of us would like some tips on offroading with a manual. Like what gears, when to shift, etc..
Yes to the catch can video. Do y’all ever plan on trying to make it back to windrock?
Looks like you need a little bit longer link length on those front Antirocks...
It wouldn’t hurt, but luckily they are just about perfect now. Won’t invert at full downtravel
Please do a video on the catch can
Here's my two cents on your channel: I'm a total DIY Jeeper and between you guys and Crawl TV (when they were active) I depended on you both for building my Jeep. From brakes to the 3-link suspension to the 1-tons, to even small silly little add-ons, your step by step videos were beyond helpful. And it was enjoyable! Both you guys on your channels would work late at night, using crappy tools, having a beer, and your spouses wrenching right beside you always adding a joke or two. The experience was real. So I think you should close JK Gear and Gadgets because that really only applied to the JK, but now that you have multiple models, the name Jeep Gear and Gadgets is more encompassing for your vehicles - and it seems you have multiple projects going on with all of them. Perhaps there's a better name. I think you can both be the hosts - perhaps one episode Cassie is the lead and on others, Ben is the lead, but you're both doing the show together. And I get it, making step by step videos takes a lot of time and is exhausting - but that's what made you different. I don't think I'm the only person that thinks this. I'm not a fan of the lite brite's and the others where it's always a happy day!.. playing with their free toys - there's nothing I learn from these channels. Why watch people wheeling when I can do it myself? However, depending on the trail or the scenario, sometimes it's fun watching. There should be a balance (my opinion). I Like the idea of motorcycles and expanding into other hobbies (I'm a big off-road motorcyclist as well)...so I think your channel has a clear niche you can fill nobody else can. I'm looking forward to the JK engine swap. I'll be wrenching right with you! Thanks for listening.
Big rocks on otherwise flat terrain. Must be Texas. 🇺🇸
Do a install video on a oil catch can install
I want your old 40's
@5:10 I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this before in one of the Austin Powers movies.
Oil catch can on the JT please.
Great video. I would like to see a catch can install.
I don’t want to pay $100 for that
@JK Gear and Gadgets, what lift are you running on the JT? I would like to run something like that on my JKU. Thanks, and love the croc jokes!
3.5” Clayton Offroad lift
Well give ya a tour next time just dm US 👍and we’ll hit some reds and a few harder trails 😇
Cassie doesn't rub, she bumps a lil rough!
hAHAHA..GOT LOST..I see ya passed a few rigs, but I get it, dudes don't ask directions hahahaha
I would love an install video of both products,can and tb,i tried the throttle body and ended up with a dash light and no pedal response
Did you recently try the throttle body?
@@JKGearandGadgets yeah I installed it hooked it up immediately got that red flashing light in the middle of the dash for the electronic throttle and had no pedal response
Man it’s just crazy to me it feels like the other day he was at 50k and now he’s almost at 100k
Hopefully that 100k comes soon! Big giveaway plans when we hit it!
Man that’s crazy
Can you make a video of how to off road with a manual jeep
