- Sometimes you want to push yourself and your rig to see what it can do. On Day 3 of our overlanding trip across northern Colorado, we take a Jeep Gladiator, 4 Wranglers, and a 4 Runner up Holy Cross, Colorado's toughest Jeep badge of honor trail. 4 out of 6 rigs got damage on the trail.

Holy! My fitbit warning bells of an accelerated heart rate was chiming and I was only watching from my couch! Excellent adventure. Thanks for bringing us along.
Matt & OOA just cinched it - HC is now a must do trail in 2023 for @NoGasWelcomeAboard !!
So awesome to see the IFS 4runner tackling the same trail at the same time. A testament to the driver's skill.
Everybody swatting at the skeeters during the creek 😂
I LOVE watching people with WAY overloaded and heavy AF shiny new vehicles going up stuff like this. All vehicle damage well deserved.
D ohs you even watch the video? We made it just fine, didn’t we? I didn’t realize trails like this were for beater rigs only. We even continued on our journey for 4 more days after this then drove 1200 miles back home without issue. Bet your POS rig couldn’t do that. 🤷🏼♂️😂
Wow! Super impressed the 4Runner did holy cross!! Holy cow! Hope you enjoyed your time in awesome CO! I love it here!
Robert and Ben have both proved the Toyota is a more than capable rig. It's not just the driving but the rig Robert has built. It keeps impressing me more and more. No it's not a jeep but it's a very good second choice! I also loved seeing Cara making it and Matt getting the soft shackle of shame on an obstacle.
Edit: no offense to Robert or Ben about their driving because they are good drivers.
Have done HC twice. First in a stock 77 Chevy Blazer. Second time in a 93 Ford Explorer with 6 inch SuperLift and ARB lockers. Managed both times with only paint damage. It's an incredible trail.
CHEERS from Colorado
I was clenching my wineglass so hard watching this xD
😂😂
"The definition of overlanding says that it's about the journey"
Like.. To me.. That's the only reason I want to do overlanding... the journey and the obstacles on said journey that need to be overcome.
Just had to comment that the dude driving the sting grey JL is the best driver of the bunch.
Very inspiring video. Keep on creating great content!
John cheats. lol. He’s always in the back and therefore we’ve found the best lines for him by then. 😂
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures 😆 makes total sense.
Just wanted to mention the rest of the pack are also great.
I'm spending the weekend going over your content now that I've discovered your channel a few days ago.
At 11:30 mark, don't stand downhill of a vehicle when winching. Especially if the reason to winch was because the vehicle might roll!
He wasn’t winching because he might roll. Where he was had no chance of a roll over.
Since it’s not that guys 4runner, he’s been making it look real bad scared of damaging anything which is understandable lol but trails like this you shouldn’t bring a rig that’s not yours and scared of wheeling it right. I’ve seen that 4Runner do some serious stuff when Robert is driving it but like I said it’s totally understandable he’s being respectful to rob’s 4runner. Loved this video guys. Thanks for bringing us along as always. I think the next mod for the 4Runner should def be a full front bumper for coverage at all angles, not just the middle part of the bumper with that hybrid bumper which doesn’t protect the part where the wheels go on rocks. That 4Runner is the reason I started following this channel and have grown to really really love this rig.
It's a sweet rig for sure!!
Thanks Andy…yeah Ben was being super respectful…I was encouraging him to be more aggressive and by the end of the trip he had a better feel for what it could do. I have thought the same thing for the bumper…and maybe rhino lining it like my old taco.
Jeeps make it look so easy! Good job all, I know this was NOT easy
Great video and awesome job on that trail! Cara, you're killin' it!
I knew you were in for a long day when the thought of getting done in time for a relaxing dinner came up. Holy Cross City never quits early...
Still a great video.
I've been up this trail twice. The more recent was in 1995, when I got partway up in my 1993 Isuzu Rodeo with the factory big tire package - all of 31" - with the manual transmission. Not a rig that I expected to get very far in, but did let me scratch that itch a little.
Best run was the first, way back in 1977 in my then nearly new 1976 FJ55. Sporting factory 28" M&S, we actually made it all the way up to that stream crossing pictured about halfway through the video. Discretion being the better part of valor, plus it was getting late in the day, we turned around then. Now you couldn't get near that location on 28s. All those rigs with huge tires have changed the trail greatly in the years since, with many people recommending 35s as the minimum to make it.
As always, thanks for sharing the adventure with us! 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼
Really great stuff. I like the quality of the video on the way up. Lighting was perfect for 4k. I can't wait to get out there.
I been wanting a good wheeling video all day. Thank you my fellow arkies for coming through!🤣👍
Great footage and incredible job everyone did.. looking forward to more of your trip to our beautiful state. E
Amazing trail and great footage. What an accomplishment for the group!
Looks like such a fun trail, it had me on the edge of my seat a few times!!
Beautiful scenery! Almost forget to look at it with all the technical driving.
A great example separating Jeeps from Toyotas. I couldn’t afford a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon earlier this, so went with a 4Runner (2022 TRD Off Road) as a newbie getting into off road adventures. This video really illustrates the limitations, which I’ll gladly live within as this is also my daily. Great vid, now subscribed.
You guys are awesome! We just got home from Ouray, we ran Black Bear for the first time… in the rain 😬
Nice!!!
I wonder how goose reacted when Cara was about to roll her wrangler? 😂😢
Great video! Makes me wish I did HC back when I was in Colorado with my ZJ.
Great video, that's one of my favorite areas to fly fish!
Great video!! Way tougher now than when I done it in 2000!
Holy Cross is an amazing trail. Some of the lines picked by your group leave me scratching my head. John is, by far, the best line finder of your group. “Lessons learned from 5 other rigs going before you”…no, just a better eye for where the line is.
Did we make it? John has the benefit of being in the back and learning from the rest of us.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures John repeatedly ignores the spotting from those of you who have already done the obstacle. His ability to find a good line is just better. Nothing to get defensive about. The rest of you should follow him.
@@jeeperp3926 I’m not telling you anything John wouldn’t tell you himself.
I remember almost flipping my parents Montero 29 years ago up there before turning around;) had no idea it was such a famous trail!
Inspiring and amazing footage, loved it!
Hi Matt and Cara and the OOA FAMILY, What a wild adventure, special props to Cara and goose what a trail. Awesome video.
Thanks!!
Good job y'all . Real good video, enjoyed it.
I like what you’re doing. This is somewhat similar to what the 4wd24/7 guys do. Keep up the good work.
We did Chinamen's Gilch and Holy Cross about a week before you all did. Awesome trail and great video!
Been years since I last did HC. Looks like it has not changed much... Great trail!
Holy second hand adrenaline! I love my Toyotas, but man do Jeep’s absolutely dominate rock crawling, I’d never have the courage to run my rig here, huge respect for you guys!
This Colorado series is 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
Wow that was a tough trail. Almost a roll over next to a tree with all the bark scraped off because of roll overs. Yikes! I was glad the Toyota made it but I don't think I would ever attempt that in my Taco. I think Goose was passed out from stress! Great video and looking forward to the rest.
Your puppy is so cute can’t wait my to take my gladiator off road like you all do
Cute puppy! 🤗
Damn, that is some serious wheeling. I'm always partial to the 4Runner though...
Really enjoyed this video, thank you! Holy Cross is on my list to conquer
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did this trail few years ago in a 1973 CJ5 with 31” tires. Never had to winch!
Daaaaang! That’s a heck of a trail.
We were there at the same time! Just pushed our vid out too. You even got us in your drone shot at 0:07 off homestake. Looking forward to crossing paths one day.
No…. But twisted my gut a bit! Lordy Cow Kara…..good driving! That was so close!
Really impressed by Cara’s driving!!! Great job!
Thank you!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures those are trails I would not attempt. Once again my hat is off to all of you guys.
Great video. Poor Toyota getting seriously beat up. Sure it made it through with plenty of winching and Jeep help : )
What an awesome trip. Props to Ben for not leaving the 4Runner on the trail and hiking 🤣
Right?!
Dang Matt, Holy Cross is on my bucket list!!
These are always so inspiring, I’m visiting Colorado next month and might have to push myself and my rig 🤝
Have fun!
Would be cautious on this trail system, may be closed up by time you're out here
Nice video and a challenging trail. Metal bashing against rocks doesn’t fit my wheeling preference though.
Man you guys need some radios
We have them thank you.
Great video y'all!
Thank you!
Great video! Just awesome
Thanks!
The guy with the hat and yourself are the best drivers.
28:46 ... MASSIVE tire traction hunt lol....
This was great, however, definitely need more Goose footage! Frenchies are the best! we have two, a blue, Mako, and a trimerle, Odin! thank you!
Awww!
I love your videos. When I can't get out to the trails I'll just watch your TH-cam Channel and it helps me get through the day. So, when I saw you at the Gun Show today I was thrilled! I would have come to say hello but I didn't want to be, "THAT guy". At any rate,,, I just wanted to tell you that. BTW, the Rubicon looks way cool! Later daze, Rev.
You should have said hi. lol. Thanks!!
This is an awesome video and it displayed some awesome driving! Your wife has a great rig and she can drive, but the spotters you had are doing a far better job for you than they are for her. She only got high centered because “they” directed her the wrong way. The same Elka shocks would be nice for her rig, but giving her the same guidance would have gotten her through without the winch cable! Love your videos - keep ‘em coming.
Good job guys. Lots of sketchy stuff on that one!
Such a great video! Keep it up! 75k will come easily.
You missed Cleveland Rock ...I guess you'll have to go back some spring when its not all skeetered up,, rock stacked and the stream is higher with run off! Challenging trail forsure
Yeah it was later in the day than we wanted. Gives us a reason to go back.
I did Holy Cross in a lifted half ton Dodge in the early 80's. That trail was a real ass kicker
Running a full size on some trails can definitely make it more challenging, but man do I love doing it in the bigger rigs. My brother and I have only ever ran full size trucks, and currently been using my F250. Real surprised I made it out of Moab last year without any body damage 😅.
Matt & Cara,
This is by far one of your coolest video’s! Thank you for all of the content you both share.
Cara, my Wife and I would like to know where you got Goose’s car seat?
Hope you all are safe. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you!!! The car seat came from Amazon
Love the content great wheeling guys
Thanks 👍
Love the 4 Runner but not set up for these trails. Great vids. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Great Content.
I have been watching for about a week now and love the views. I live in North West Louisiana and would love to do some trails. Not sure i want to tackle anything like this one with a Stock AT4 Canyon.
Toughest keep trail in Colorado? Perhaps you should try carnage canyon or some of the trails in Montrose :)
Toughest Jeep badge trail. I said that in the video.
I did this trail almost 30 years ago… It looks like it’s gotten much tougher!
Looks awesome. I’m heading to Holy Cross Wilderness next month. Won’t be doing any wheeling but instead a hiking trip, should be checking out holy cross city along the route.
Have fun!
Love the channel, guys. Inspiring me (us) to get out more.
Thank you!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures you bet!
I doubt I'd even walk this trail but it's was fun to watch. Made me confirm this type of stuff ain't for me
Well i went ahead and subscribed good sir. I wanna do the things you do I'm just not able to at this very moment but it's coming. I bought a 2000xj that was running but not driving, I put a 4.5in lift from Rubicon Express, I went that route coz imma do one tons and full 4 link later on, then heim joint crossover steering, sye kit, Tom Woods driveshafts, redone front and rear diff bearings, rear spartan locker, and it came with 33in ko2's in like new condition. I also added a 3row aluminum radiator and high flow water pump. Well i put about 2k miles on it then on startup one morning it started knocking really loud, I pulled the oil pan and valve cover that weekend and found 4 large pieces of a piston skirt in the oil pan lol. It's been parked for a few months and I'm waiting on my engine to get built, a 4.7l stroker and I'll be doing a lot more stuff to it as I confine with v2 of my 2kxj. People like ya'll hands inspired me to film and upload videos coz it looks like ya'll be having a blast. Thanks for your informative videos ands being honest, I was born in Memphis TN and grew up in Lepanto Arkansas and now live in El paso Texas, I plan on doing recoveries here coz nobody else offers that even tho I've never used a winch , but I got one lol. Starting with no experience should make for interesting footage right?
I’ve run this trail twice. Seriously challenging. I think Pritchett Canyon is the only one I’ve done that’s more difficult. And I bet 4Runner guy buys and builds a jeep before too long. Go w 37’s👍👍👍
Agreed. Pritchett is definitely more challenging! The guy driving the 4Runner already has a Jeep it was just in the shop in Texas. The guy who owns the 4runner is the guy in the hat that has the dark grey Rubicon.
Holy Cross is on my to do list and last of the BOH badges for Colorado. Wow, what a technical trail that is. I do have a 2 dr JKR so maybe it will be easier🤔
I’m not sure it will be easier. Lol.
Terrific Video and beautiful area to explore. One can only imagine what it was like to live there in the old days. Quick question about all the patches and stickers on your truck cab ceiling. How do you attach them? My launch edition ceiling is OEM cloth and velcro won't stick.
We have Hot Heads headliners. Patches work better with them than the factory ones.
Having a 4Runner similar to the one on this video it is cool to know how capable it could be. I'm more of an Overlander/camper though. Not planning on going on anything this challenging. Peace...
Wow that trail is Gnarly.
Outstanding video !
37s minimum on that for me.
Thanks 👍
You can do it on 35s and no lockers
WOW!!! what a trail. I absoutely loved this video. Matt I was tired just watching. Again, my favorite channel. Please keep on working hard because you and Cara are putting out the BEST videos on You Tube. Thanks for what yall do.
WOW! Thanks so much!!
Are you coming near Montrose.? Would love to meet you Matt.!!
Think I would have set up camp and spent the night up there,and depending on how me bones felt in the morning, maybe a second night!
Gettin old sucks! 🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really high quality content!
Also, what light mounts are you using with the cowl-mounted KCs on the JL? Do they work with the high mount Rugged Ridge snorkle?
They are mounts I found on Amazon. I’m not sure they would work with the high mount.
Hey as you wander around Colorado keep eyes open for a couple from Texas in a white 2 door Jeep. Their family thinks they are missing.
They were found ok.
did you all try to crawl over that first obstacle before just ramming it up? seems like no? lockers engaged? the video edit made it seem no lockers and skinny peddle only...just wondering! thanks good content!
Usually, the first step is to attempt to crawl, then to lock up, then to "moab" bump it, then skinny pedal. lol...and then winch.
Cara is an OG rockcrawler!
Yes she is.
Just found the channel and really enjoying it! We're fellow Arkansans in Searcy. I'd love some recommendations on some good, "beginner" overlanding spots close to us? Love the content!
My wife and I went to Harding and My Daughter is teaching a camping/backpacking course at the university. She and her Husband have a moderately built 4runner. If you want, you can join us on the OOAT sometime. It is a trail that Matt put together through the Ozarks stating around St. Joe.
Holy Cross is such a great trail. Did you all take a look at Cleveland Rock while up there? The lake after it, is worth the hike, or drive if you can make Cleveland.
You need to do lake como road/ Blanca peak outside of Alamosa it’s as awesome as holy cross
I will actually be right by it on Tuesday and still don't have time to do it. lol. I will one day.
Awsome content as usual. Your wife is a bad ass!
Great video guys. I am curious on what your guys mpgs are like on your jeeps with all the gear? Obviously I'm talking city and Freeway driving.
Thanks! I average around 13-14 in the gladiator no matter if I'm on highway or in city. 12 if I have a headwind on the interstate. lol
Great clip at 2:20.
Great video! What Clayton Lift are you running on the JT? I’ve got a Clayton 2.5” on 37” but wasn’t sure I’d have enough height. Great job to you and your crew!
Thanks. It’s the 3.5” premium.
Yeah... Agree with the Subaru comment.
It's a little deceiving... Subaru and Cherokee Trailhawk will say they have the same ground clearance... Ok yeah .. to the suspension arm.... But then look at breakover angle and do the math and you'll find that the mid vehicle clearance is higher on the Cherokee and that the angles are way better. They are NOT comparable...
Subaru Crosstrek
With an 18-degree approach angle, a 29-degree departure angle and a 19.7-degree breakover angle, 8.7 inches ground clearance. 104.9 inch wheelbase.
Now... Stock Cherokee Trailhawk:
The Cherokee Trailhawk provides 20 inches of water fording, and it has a departure angle of 32.3 degrees, an approach angle of 29.9 degrees, and a breakover angle of 22.9 degrees. Also 8.7 inches of ground clearance.
So if the Cherokee has a longer wheelbase and the same ground clearance, how can it possibly have a better breakover angle.
Here's why... The mid vehicle clearance is better .
Let's unpack that with some math....
Im just curious, what camera do you use?
My wife and I ran this solo, no lockers, you gotta pick better lines, with lockers Steep Rock is a piece of cake.
Glad everyone made it out, but there is definitely some better calls on lines to be made in this video.
Considering this was our first time ever on this trail I’d say we did pretty good. Thanks for your critique.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures it was my wife's and I's first time too. Again, love you alls content, keep learning and wheelin'
You first comment was spot on. These are "overlanders" not wheelers. All about purple rigs an purple kool-aid hair. Pretty embarrassing at 50 plus years old.
@@kg2995 you’re a very kind person I see. Does the fact that my wife in her link Jeep and me with blue and purple hair making it up Holy Cross hurt your feelings? 😂 You try taking a fully loaded Gladiator that we were living out of for 8 days up Holy Cross and see how well you do. We all made it and it was our first time. Your hatefulness is embarrassing for humanity.
I completely agree truth is the new hate speech.
That was a long day on a trail
You all should use handheld GMRS radio when spotting! Just saying.
We do sometimes.
