Your fiat 500 did great! And sir you do not have 4x4 Lo.... it just puts it in 1st gear.... My stock 5th gen 4runner can do that easy. Might need 4x4. I do have Falken wildpeak At3w 32" tires but.... good job for a fiat 500 I mean jeep! Just messin around. Good job!
loved your "3 wheels using speed to jump" - I had no idea what I was doing when I went through this in my Rodeo back in the 90's, but I had scrapes along the sides to help tell the story of "3 wheels and jumping!"
Wow, I was just there today and the road has been renovated. Not nearly as rocky. I stopped driving at the second crossing -- judging the water too deep this time for my Crosstrek's 9" ground clearance, but watched a few Jeeps make it through. Continued on foot looking for the place where I turned back 3 years ago -- foot of the boulder climb -- and the boulders had been removed from the road. Kept going on foot to the monument. This is an amazing place.
+erikdfier thanks. we weren't seeing enough videos about the capabilities and limitations of the renegade. since we had some equipment, we thought we would share ours experiences.
All I keep thinking about with these videos is how great the Renegade would be with about 20-30 or so hp in the 1800-2400 rpm zones or with Active Drive II/Lock. There just isn't enough power being made at crawling speeds/rpm. That being said, good on you for getting out and seeing cool stuff with it. I think one of the best features of the renegade is that it makes trails like this interesting again because its not just a matter of rotating a few dials and kicking back while the rig does all the work.
+Michael Miller Can't say. Haven't used much of anything else on the market comparable. 80's 4 runner, 80's cherokee, 90's landcruiser, 00"s ranger, and 10's tundra. It doesn't really compare to any of those with bigger lifts, engines, and better 4x4. But everything those have gotten through, I've been able to make it with the Renegade as well.
Trailhawks looking good! Can you give me details about your setup? Lift kit, wheel and tire size, ect... I have a white Trailhawk and I'm looking to do the same. Are you having problems with rubbing on turns?
+Chris O'Donnell My setup is in the description. After my experiences with the tire setup, I recommend you stick with 225 tires with either a 16" or 17" rim.
Great video, I'm a fan.

you're lucky to find those places to adventure on! I wish I had something similar to this where I live
We are spoiled in California
Did this in '91 in a new Jeep Wrangler. I recall parts of it...
Your channel is great. The White Renegade looks amazing and I dig watching your Off-road vids. Keep it up!

Would 1" WHEEL SPACERS stop the 235's from rubbing?? Dont lose the 235's, it makes the RENEGADE meaner looking!!!

Hey man awesome video and set up!, what is the exact tire size and wheel set up, like the bolt pattern and 235/??/R15??
like your vids...how many miles on your Rengade? how is that 9 speed working overall? keep up trailing.
In the 70’s the water was so deep that my Jeep drum brakes didn’t work for a while. Good video.
Your Jeep looks great. Need more outside of the vehicle shots! Thing looks awesome.
How have you liked your Kenda tires?
Since you guys have been using the Renegade, how capable would you say it is compared to other SUVs on the market?

Such a capable little Jeep. I love it!
what was in the guy's hand at 20:58?
I've got a renegade sport, looking to take some trails like this as I live close by, would you recommend it?
2.4l, 4x4, stock at tires
Trailhawks looking good! Can you give me details about your setup? Lift kit, wheel and tire size, ect... I have a white Trailhawk and I'm looking to do the same. Are you having problems with rubbing on turns?

Why stick with the 225s? Loss of power or grip? Did your gas mileage change significantly with larger than stock tires?
Great tour!
LMAO
Is that how you get to sheep canyon ?
yes
I thought i was going to watching a jeep video but this #stockmober is trying to break that poor fiat 😂😂
Damn if that Jeep junk can do it, my beast certainly can
