Thank you. We are working on a couple of new videos from Windrock in which we come up the Jeep Badge of Honor (BOH) trails from the bottom. They will also feature a couple of non-BOH trails.
Thanks for sharing, looks like a good time in TN. On Teal Ox do you have lockers, LSD or any other axle lock? I remember the lift, tires and gears(?) recently.
No lockers or limited slip, but the brake lock differential functions well for us. We considered adding lockers when we regeared, but chose not to since we will be trading our Gladiator for a Rubicon Wrangler later this year.
Windrock is 73,000 acres in size with over 300 miles of trails. You could easily spend several days there exploring different trails, especially if you have a rig built for the difficult trails. Even sticking to the moderate trails will keep you busy for days. I would recommend taking your time to enjoy the scenery as well as the trails. In addition, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary is nearby and offers a look back at its history. Camping at Windrock or staying in one of their cabins is your best bet for maximizing time on the trails. windrockpark.com/
When one does a lift job on a jeep, I personally think 35 inch tires are the way to go. Because every inch matters. 35’s will work fine on a stock set up and your transmission. If you get bigger tires you will have to re-gear your Jeep.
@Huckleberry54 Not this year. We’ve attended the last three years and decided to not go this year, although we are now regretting that decision. It is an awesome event and has many great side activities as well.
A lot depends on your skill level and vehicle build. It typically takes us around 4 hours not counting stops for lunch/snacks. We have Jeeps with a moderate lift and 35” tires.
@@TealOxAdv Thanks. I'm in a stock JL Rubicon. 33's. I have moderate experience (Moab,Colorado, Arkansas, etc.). I'll be there this Sunday, riding solo, but do have a winch. I want to have fun, but don't want to break anything. Seems like these are good trails for that purpose (potentially a little more than I'd like). Thanks.
You should be fine with those factors considered. If you’d like, you probably can find someone to ride with at the store where you get your permit. I definitely urge caution on the lower end of 27 if they haven’t addressed the ruts. They can damage fenders and/or mirrors.
Great Video! We will be looking into doing the same thing later this year. Love the chili!
Thank you. We love everything about Windrock. Lots of fun trails and and some awesome views. Trail chili is hard to beat. ❤️
Very nicely put together video👍
Thank you very much!
Those two trails are way more fun when ran the other way. I like going down 27 and climbing 26
We are going Tuesday or Wednesday and are thinking about going that direction.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing!

Nice, helpful 👍
Glad you liked it. Feel free to message us if you have any questions.
Just did it today! 🤘
Hope you had a great ride.
You bet! 😁

How many days can you spend here doing trails similar to this ? I would like to take a long weekend from Michigan and do those.

35” Tires are definitely a sweet spot for most off-road trails we’ve done. The right line and a good spotter make a huge difference as well.
@@TealOxAdv I agree. And it’s not too bad on gas mileage. lol
True, lol
@@TealOxAdv Are you attending the jeep extravaganza in Pigeon Forge next week?
@Huckleberry54 Not this year. We’ve attended the last three years and decided to not go this year, although we are now regretting that decision. It is an awesome event and has many great side activities as well.
How much time should be allowed for doing what you show in the video? A full day? Thanks!

@@TealOxAdv that looked like the worst part to me. I hate sections like that.
