18:50 is exactly why serious off-roaders buy a Jeep. The bronco is seriously limited with its independent front suspension. Not to mention the Jeep has one of the best brake lock differential systems in the business. You guys are lucky the bronco didn’t break a tie rod end or steering rack.
The Bronco is very capable off-road, but of course people love to hate so they can justify their choices. I've spent a full day rock crawling with 9 Broncos and not a single one had an issue. If you don't know what you're doing, you will damage steering components eventually and Ford has beefed them up for the '24 model year just in case. It's not like jeeps are known for rock solid reliability anyway. I chose the Bronco because I drive a lot and didn't want to constantly have to see-saw a wheel back and forth commuting to work. Driving them back to back on the road is no comparison. I'm willing to sacrifice a little front articulation just for that.
@@fredboy007 This is true! I'm a Wrangler guy, but there are a lot of great vehicles out there. The Ford Bronco gave Jeep a kick in the ass. My Willys Xtreme Recon got the Dana 44's front and rear. A rear locker and 35's from the factory. We lifted it a few inches and added manual sway discos. If it wasn't for Ford, the Willys may have stayed as is from the factory. Tacomas, 4-Runners, Broncos and Rovers all do pretty damn well. A good driver is important.
Another great trail video. Some day I'll be able to say "I was watching him way back when" after you reach 1 million subscribers! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
I seen you guys when you were rolling in to the camping area. Unfortunately I couldn’t fallow I had bent my rear driveshaft on a rock that turned up under my Power Wagon.
The green jeep has been caught out in the rain without a top at some point I bet. I got caught out at Cabella's with my roof off, and I had to replace a clock spring and had moisture in my radio for about a month. I would place a bet on it that where all the the issues are coming from. electrical issues are coming from.
I took delivery of my 2020 Gladiator Sport S 10 days ago. Got it used (obviously) with only 12,290 miles on it. It has Rubicon suspension and wheels (33s), and a limited slip rear diff. I've taken it out in my area on forest service roads, and fire roads every day. Been solo every time, so I'm not pushing it a lot, but that will soon be changing when I have a chance to meet up with some friends.
I was thinking about putting rubicon axles front and rear on my Sahara. Now after watching this video on what jeeps can do without lockers, i have decided to just add a winch and put trusses and lockers on my dana 30 when I can save some money. If i went with rubicon axles i would have spent around 6k, now il spend around 2k. I save 4K. Thank you
If Shamrock has an auxiliary battery’s then that’s probably the cause of his electrical gremlins. Weird shit happens when those tiny batteries start to fail. Lots of good videos on UA-cam about how to delete the auxiliary battery. Thanks for another great video Monkey.
I got the willys jl 2door 4inch list 35s haven't got stuck yet.. but also ain't nothing to crazy around me pretty much just like in the middle of this video still fun like u said
How often do you need it and how often you want it are two very different questions. For most of this trail, I don't think you would need 4L but your vehicle would be harder to control and be less safe because you wouldn't have quite as much control over various things. But if you're a reckless idiot who doesn't mind prematurely destroying your vehicle, then a lot of this could be done in 4H at least in theory
Great video, Someday when I win the lottery be able to do what you guys do. (no vehicle 38 + years) Watching you guys, I saw the Power lines in the background. Would have been interesting to see the 4x4 TRUCKS they used to get those poles in and up . Great video
I was told that back in the day the power line trails were gravel roads that you could drive a Cadillac down. But over the years because they were not used for anything they were not maintained and they eventually became what they are today.
Thanks you 285/70/17 on a Jl 6 speed manual mainly around town and some 75mph hwy driving 3.43 current gears should I go 454 or 410 gears local show is pushing for 454 or would I be happier with larger 33/12.5/17 tires
Idk much about this stuff a lot of people assume you running your 33s is similar to 33 inch 285/70/17 seem like totally different set up’s love watching your videos
Ya mine are 33 inches but what you’re describing is closer to 34 inches in diameter. 4.10 would be more than enough but I would take it for a drive with the stock gearing as see if you even feel the need to do the gears. The 8 speed transmission makes up for it pretty well
The issue described at the end of the video sounds like the voltage supply equipment for the infotainment system, which depending on the specific construction of that jeep could also have something to do with whether or not it recognizes the key being inserted, which could explain why it just randomly stopped. I don't even think dealership diagnostic equipment would be able to recognize this issue if I am correct, although I'm willing to be surprised. I would look for a sufficiently skilled electronics hobbyist and ask them if they would be willing to test the voltage regulators and whatnot because I would be about the only way I could think of to figure out if that is the issue and how to fix it
@@SmokinMonkeyOG this could all be completely incorrect information so do keep that in mind. But with what I know about vehicle construction, I can't think of anything else that would cause the infotainment screen to be flashing on and off unless the brightness is way lower than usual then it could just be the infotainment system dying. But why that would cause the vehicle to just shut off? I don't know
@the_undead I’m with you I have no idea what would cause that other than possibly the alternator. I’ll pass on the info and hopefully he can get it figured out
@@SmokinMonkeyOG the issues described don't sound like alternator problems to me because the vehicle likely would have had troubles running if that was the case. And like you said in the video the vehicle was running fine apart from the infotainment system and just randomly deciding to not work at one point. My only other theory is there is a loose connection somewhere and driving on the trail was disconnecting that connection but then when the vehicle stopped bouncing around it would reconnect or something like that. But beyond those two problems, I couldn't tell you anything useful.
I had to turn this off because of that incredibly ANNOYING dog! As an owner, you have no control over your dog. I was really enjoying the video so thanks for that.

@@fredboy007 There is a reason you see Rubicons on tough trails…that’s all I’m saying.

@primolilla I agree competition is awesome because it makes better vehicles for everyone
Another great trail video. Some day I'll be able to say "I was watching him way back when" after you reach 1 million subscribers! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Oh man that would be amazing but I don’t know if I’ll get there
when you do you can loan me some money lol...@@SmokinMonkeyOG
good to see you getting that recognition on the trail the last couple vids!
JL Sport Unlimited 4Ever❤😊
Big Bird is back babyyyy
As a Toyota owner I concur we watch Jeep videos! Awesome video man!
Haha thanks man!
I seen you guys when you were rolling in to the camping area. Unfortunately I couldn’t fallow I had bent my rear driveshaft on a rock that turned up under my Power Wagon.
I think I remember seeing you the thing looked awesome!
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Thanks… I just got finished removing my rear driveshaft so I could drive home when I seen you drive through.

Congrats on the new ride
Just picked up a 2014 Sahara 😁 can't wait to hit some trails.

I really liked the White Sport on 33" getting up easy, followed by the Bronco that looked on 35" that had a much harder time...

He doesn’t his is a JK so no aux battery in his
how far from the US border do you wheel might have to make a trip up sometime with my Rubi
Trail would be 4 hours from the border
I live about an hour from the border
@@SmokinMonkeyOG not too bad I’m probably 7-8 hours south but originally from Alberta so always down to wheel with my fellow Canadians
I am looking at a 2 door jeep sport. Do you have a lift and what size tires do you have. Great video
On which jeep?
Man your channel kick @$$. Minden this weekend 🌄🤙Love all your footage and trail info
Thanks man!
I got the willys jl 2door 4inch list 35s haven't got stuck yet.. but also ain't nothing to crazy around me pretty much just like in the middle of this video still fun like u said
Nothing wrong with that. I rather not break down and just have a relaxing trail ride sometimes lol
Has Shamrock done the secondary battery delete yet?
His is a JK no secondary battery
You've become trail famous lol
Haha seems like it
I'm curious to know how often you need 4L to climb?
Always, gives you more control and better torque. My jeep is in 4L from the beginning of the trail till I air back up
How often do you need it and how often you want it are two very different questions. For most of this trail, I don't think you would need 4L but your vehicle would be harder to control and be less safe because you wouldn't have quite as much control over various things. But if you're a reckless idiot who doesn't mind prematurely destroying your vehicle, then a lot of this could be done in 4H at least in theory
4 hi is for flatlanders get real!
Man that looked sweet!!
It was an awesome time for sure

Big Bird gets DOWN!
Not bad for an over 23 year old jeep without lockers lol
What trail is this? I kept looking but couldn't find the name, you say it at the beginning but not very clear 🤦
Ardbeg
What size 33s are you running
33x12.5x 15
Thanks you 285/70/17 on a Jl 6 speed manual mainly around town and some 75mph hwy driving 3.43 current gears should I go 454 or 410 gears local show is pushing for 454 or would I be happier with larger 33/12.5/17 tires

“Toyota guys watch Jeep videos?”
Of course…. Everyone has their super heroes 🤣
Lmao 😂
hello from the CN tracks beside ya :)
that JL only struggled a little bit because it was new and the owner didnt wanna scratch it!!

Even the dog told him he was on the wrong line
Lmao 😂
Looks like the Toyota guys watch Jeep videos! 😂😂😂
Used JK 2 door jeep wrangler.
I mean, which Jeep did you wanna know the lift and tires on?
bruh you have jks diconncet sway bar
Yup
Good video. Dog barking is a bit annoying at times. Owners, have some respect and control your pet!
Thanks man! We all love Bruce so I don’t think anyone cares on the trail but in a more public environment I totally agree with you
Bruce is a "recreational barker". NOTHING is more annoying than an untrained canine. Makes the video unwatchable.@@SmokinMonkeyOG
Love the barking fur baby!!❤
Dogs bark it's what they do
I had to turn this off because of that incredibly ANNOYING dog! As an owner, you have no control over your dog. I was really enjoying the video so thanks for that.
Not my dog so you’re right I have no control over that dog whatsoever
