My comment was actually meant to your fins and things video. I did start on it but thought better. Just don’t have the experience and was also only with family in my truck, nobody else to help if needed. Just bought a 2021 XRC and rode it in PA for the first time last week. Immensely capable but again was alone and just don’t have the experience or courage to try really hard trails. But sure is fun.
You see the part of the video with that old dodge power wagon? We talked to the guy for a few minutes and he said he tries to make a trip to Moab in it every year from Oregon. Said it was all original still and from the 50s I believe. Thing was awesome to see crawling around out there!
Man that XRC is my dream setup, SXS’s are street legal in Utah as well so I could daily drive it, drive to the trail heads , run errands in it , pick up my daughter s from school , hit the sand dunes, snow wheeling but most of all Moab! I live close to it so it’s be perfect ! Swap ya for my Expedition Ready 4Runner 😉🙏 What were you aired down to? With beadlocks , sticky’s on an XRC if you air down 8-10 psi lower than normal you’ll be shocked at your traction. The sand paper sand stone with a good sized contact patch with a sticky will walk up anything without spinning , less jarring on steps as well especially when juicing it to bump up a ledge or several. I see a little molding of the tire but only when impacting or bouncing , you can drop PSI MUCH lower here. Just fyi. If I wheel my rubicon in the Rockies o air down to 15 psi, if I’m in the snow, 6 lbs and Moab sand stone I go to 6-8 psi , you could easilly go 5-8 psi on the Maxxis set up.
I am looking at both the Turbo RR XMR and XRC. Do you know if the drivetrain and low gear is any different between the two? The XMR comes with 30s and the XRC with 32s. I want to run 35s on which ever model I buy.
I believe the drivetrain is the same. Both low gears are geared really low from the factory but not entirely sure if they’re the same. I know the XRC has “rock” and “trail” modes and the XMR has “mud” and “trail” modes but couldn’t really tell you they make a noticeable difference. Both models have locking front differentials which is key. XRC has 2” more suspension travel and XMR has snorkels. The clutching might be the only real difference with the different tires that they come with. It all just come down to what you’re wanting/willing to do aftermarket and what you’re planning on doing with the machine.
@@slewcrewoffroad does the rear diff lock as well on the XRC? You mentioned front diff lock , is rear standard ? Can’t imagine the XRC has an open rear diff ? Living in Moab , the XRC is definitely my choice, I’d ideally love to have a snorkel set up with all the water crossings here & a Warn winch /synthetic line for self recovery as I’m out on my own often when wheeling or jsut have one of my daughters. You mentioned the rock crawling mode isn’t noticeable? Man I’d heard it was quite helpful when rock crawling but you drove an XRC IN Moab so I’d trust your opinion over sxs reviewers
We’ve got 3 different x3s running 35s. One has no clutch work, one has 3P clutch kit and one has STM primary. You’ll get much better engagement with an STM primary but haven’t had any issues with the others. Just has an initial lag in the engagement
9:50 even living here & wheeling Moab all my life,.. THIS section is NOT enjoyable either direction for me , in fact with a fear of heights it’s down right terrifying! A few years back I was heading the opposite direction and dropped my left tire on my most hated obstacle leaning my Rubicon quickly in the 10 o clock direction and with my sway bar disconnected and a 6 inch long arm/coil overs and 40’s when it dropped and hit bottom my passenger rear tire swung up in the air so high it jerked my front passenger tire in the air as well, I was on 2 wheels at 8psi & truly thought it was over , no way to get out of a rolling driver side on the edge! Some of the girlfriends in our convoy I remember screaming at the top of their lungs which told me I was f&cked ! It leaned so hard I actually was looking over the edge at the flat wall when I felt the momentum of rolling stop pretty quickly, 2 of my best friends that had jsut got off a combat deployment in Afghanistan ( an Army Kiowa light attack helicopter pilot & a US Army Sniper attached to an ODA) I’m here today becasue they decided to come wheeling after JUST getting home from their deployments days earlier. Josh was behind me filming and Tyler in front of me spotting me , josh dropped his phone moving lighting fast to the rear quarter grabbing the roll bar base & Tyler grabbed the front grill passenger side while it was on 2 wheels rotating and somehow stopped the role gettingnthenfrontntire on the ground he slid onto his back when he slipped and lifted his body off the ground hanging on that front corner righh in front of my tires and josh put a foot in the rear wheel and one on the rear bumper as it rocked. The others in front and behind said it wasn’t tipping , it was actually rolling smoothly off the edge , they all thought that was it but my 2 bros literally saved me from a 2,200’ fall. I’m surprised i didn’t snap the steering wheel I was squeezing so hard and have to admit I pulled it down level and had to get out and sit down & legit threw up. Only time that’s ever happened. I haven’t wheeled the trail since , jsut passenger it /spot and walk that section. My stomache went tingly watching your XRC drop and rock cliff side on that off camber edge slope. You’ve got balls climbing that obstacle that lifts the passenger front so high while off camber , loss of traction and it’s of kicked your tail towards that edge. Judas! Tougher than me that’s for sure lol
Beautiful trail. Thanks for sharing.
Been there twice with my Raptor all the way from NY, but can’t say done that. Did not have the balls. Great videos. Subbed.
Sure be cool if you did though. Can’t say I’ve seen a raptor take on cliffhanger.

Well hell yeah. Sounds like you’re all about a good time 👍🏼

Yeah this was one of our first times in the rocks. Check out some of our more recent videos 👌

Rear diff is always locked on all X3s. We never noticed any differences with the modes but got rid of them once upgrading to Halo 30 front diffs
great vids! Subbed
What size tires you guys running, I see both still have sway bars on
35s. We disconnect the rear sway bars off and on but don’t run the front
@@slewcrewoffroad awesome I pulled my front since new , how did it do with rear removed
Rides way smoother and does better in the rocks. Just gets a little sketchy in off camber stuff sometimes
@@slewcrewoffroad ok thank u ,did moab 2xs but rear sway bar on
Nice we can’t wait to make it back sometime
What size tires on x3? Like video. Thanks.
35”
Another great ride… did you do any clutching to match the 35s ?
We’ve got 3 different x3s running 35s. One has no clutch work, one has 3P clutch kit and one has STM primary. You’ll get much better engagement with an STM primary but haven’t had any issues with the others. Just has an initial lag in the engagement
How do you only have 89 subs?! Great work fellas!
Appreciate it 👍
Because the music sounds like im watching Cinemax after dark
@@tnmonty501 Skinemax was the foundation of my childhood
192 now.
Slowly but surely 👍🏼
What size tires are you running on the xrc and have you done any other mods to help handle the tires?
35”s and 3P clutch kit
Looks awesome and handles the 35s very well.
@@osmentsl running 35” roxxzillas now on the XRC. Even better 👌🏼👌🏼
Are these 72 inch X3s or 64?
Orange is 72” green is 64” machine
