Last year we finished in first place, on electric, having run out of gas about 2 km before the finish line, but this year was a longer course, and hotter temps, which m...

Elephant Hill Jeep Trail, "Get Skinny!"
With all respect, no you have not had a lot of requests of how to lift heavy tires 😁.
Great explanation, thank you. I have a question, does airing down make it easyer to lose the bead in rough terrain ?
Hi, I'm Italian and my English is not so perfect, the only thing I didn't understand is when I use the lockers does the Sbar have to be connected or disconnected or does it make no difference?
Great video. I learn alot from you. 👍🙏❤️
I’m 1800 miles into a ‘24 Willys, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to actually hit the dirt roads as the areas here in Southern California have been shut down because of the fires but doing a trip to Central California soon and would like to get on some fire roads, and around a little bit, I appreciate the axel locker sway bar tutorial makes sense thanks
🙏🙏
Great video. I just got a Rubicon and I'm guessing the rear axle will "sway" more than the front when the front sway bar is not disconnected, however, when the front is disconnected the reverse is true?
Do you think a bronco w/ Sasquatch package could handle this?
thanks for explaining this locker, was able to understand way better than others in youtube
Wow ! super clear !!!
Great video and an excellent explanation of these features on the Rubicon - thanks. I've just bought a Rubicon and your explanation is WAY better than the one provided by the dealership. Probably because you've more experience of using the vehicle seriously off-road than the salesman is my guess. I've now watched a few more of your excellent videos, they're enough to make a UK resident like me very jealous, but I've subscribed for the how-to lessons and great advice you give - thanks again
Big like for this great presentation
That was OK. I'd suggest an explanation/demonstration of using the break pedal in lieu of lockers.
Great instructor !
Yeah, best explanation of these features I've seen. Thank you Nena!!
I am New to this offroading and This video was awesome explaining a lot
WOW, might be easier to just get a Pinto.
Following standings at Rebelle Rally 2024. Great to see you in the lead!!! 👍🙏❤️
Great video.
Hello Ms Barlow. I love your videos. Im from New York City, but have more of a country side mind set. I have a question about airing down tires … What psi do you recommend airing down tires to if you are going on sand? I have a 2023 wrangler willys 4xe. Thank you and have a good day.
Thanks Nena! Probably the best video I’ve seen explaining and demonstrating the use of the sway bar disconnect and lockers. I still have a couple of questions though. 1) when to use just the front locker, just the rear or both? So, you can only disconnect away bar before you approach obstacles, but lockers can be done on the fly as long as you’re in 4L?
Great video Nena! thank you for the insight on this trail.
Saving backs with every view 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Super easy presentation. I appreciate this video 🇮🇳
Did it in my stock 03 Ford Ranger ext cab about 5 years ago. Did it all except the slide. My jeep was broke soooo yeah.
how much air need to down factory comming tire 14 or 18 psi ?
Nena that was a great explanation. I am very new to off roading and I bought a last call 392 Rubicon. It is an amazing vehicle. 😂 I asked my 24 year old son what it does and the answer was”it disconnects the sway bar!” Yeah!!!!
I was worried about changing a 35-inch flat tire on my truck, but after this tutorial, I regained confidence. Thanks!
useful information but still you have too much trust on that jack on stone...stone or jack can crack without warning ...I wouldn't put my whole legs under vehicle withour jack stands..I use double protection
How about a video about somebody that does not have a Rubicon but a sport
"A few that ruin it for everybody" should be printed on our money. By that logic our government shouldn't "allow" us to do anything at all. The government doesn't get any power from focusing on the VAST majority of people that choose to do the right thing.
Nena, I have a 2005 LJ Rubicon. I am suspecting my front elocker is not working correctly. When I hit the locker switch the rear seems to lock correctly based upon the Locked dash light flashes then goes solid. when I hit locker switch again the Front Locked dash light flashes but does not go solid. What does it mean if Front Locked dash light continues to flash without ever going solid?
Fantastic video. Would you also explain please when would we use front lockers only or rear lockers only ? Or is it best to use them both engaged only ? Thanks
is selec cruise control part of a Package and what if i want regular cruise control ?
I could get up that in a 2wd stock Tacoma.
I do the leg roll with my 35” tire.
Awesome explanation! It's like Jeep has always kept a secret...
Used to be able to fling em back on but now that I watched this I can still put em back on. Thanks !
Been off roading since I could walk pretty much. You have some great advice and reminded me of some things. And that little descent you did at 20:45 would’ve made me tense up a bit 😂
Very helpful
Nice ...agree about no body parts under vehicle
Thank you for the great video. I'll be heading out there in October and will be in my ram 2500. Do you think the truck would fit in this trail and soldier pass?
Awesome explanation thank you !!
Nice informative video. Nwe subsriber :)
How do you manage when your trails are split by highways ( roads in UK 😊) Most green lanes here are quite short & split by fairly lengthy drives on road at higher speeds ... is it necessary to air back up if only travelling short distances ( 1 or 2 miles maybe ) ?? Would it be best to air down conservatively ?
Goooooooood information.
Thx for the content. Very helpful. Is there an option to perform a front dig with the gladiator without installing a Tazer mini?
Thanks for your clear and accurate description of usage of rubicon features. Please also include some specifics about the vehicles you are featuring lift wheel size etc so I may have some insight and to what requirements may be needed for the type of terrain you are traversing. Appreciate all your expertise, guidance and experience
Very helpful. Thank you
Very good video and a great technique. I would suggest 1 change and believe me in no way am I denigrating the advice in the video. As you go to lift or manoeuvre the load look down and position your hands. But at the moment of the lift raise your head and look forward. Looking down will cause some rounding of your back. Looking forward removes this.
