O now u found something like our trail. Im 80 and my wife is 68 . She cruises this stuff in her little Geo Tracker Billy goat on Super swampers. Actually by mountain standards that's a pretty good trail.
That climb looks like the good part of our climb on our farm from the bottom gate up to our gate to the cabin. We climb over 1280 ft elevation in 3/4 of a mile. Or bout 1600 on up to our to the loading shed in the Hollow. We live WAAAAY off grid. No roads no power poles no services and best of all no sign of humanity in a 360° pan in front of the cabin. What town boys come lookin for an adventure we just call going to the feed store. Haha. Dandahermit
god damn. i havent missed hidden falls since i left texas.... then i rewatched this video. i miss wheeling with you guys. yall are awesome and i'm so glad you've found your adventure homebase.
Lol there’s a few specific things I miss about Texas and this was definitely one of them. It was so easy for us all to meet up as often as we like. Good times but at least we no longer have to pay gate fees! Lol
So is that a 4 1/2" or 6" lift?? RoughCountry? And what gears are u running. Mine is the Metric ton option with the Dana 44 trakLok rear axle. Dabdahermit
Our climb is like that all the way. You guys would shit cause right now it's in waist deep snow with an ice base. My wife works at the hospital down in the valley and this is her daily commute. Country road. You guys would just be sitting at the bottom freaking at the first climb. It's in the shade and ALLWAYS ice. Regular life in the mountains. Haha
Been there a couple times with my JK. Barely made it up wildcat stairway on 33’s with a front locker and the throttle pinned. It was a blast! You need an Aussie in the front of your Manche!
They said they’d been up it the weekend before with no issue. They are both front and rear locked too though. I’d still have had some trouble. What front locker are you running?
Freedom Crawler Aussie locker in the front with open diff rear on a 2-door JK. Made a huge difference offroad. Made it through multiple areas where guys on 35’s who were open/open couldn’t. The Aussie does make a pretty annoying ratcheting sounds, but not enough to justify dumping $1,000+ into a selectable locker.
I’ve wheeled both and you just have to wheel it differently. Not really any different than any other rock crawling trails. Great place to learn your rig and test it out for sure. Lots of options
You need to fix the fuel tank leak before it catches fire on your bent up exhaust. And if anyone else gets stuck in that ditch they will not have crawl all over the fuel contaminated ground.
hi David and Shae" looks like all and all you guy's had a lot of fun watching you David you will try any thing 👍👍👍 mean't R D on you'r guy's channel he's a real good guy now ok David I know Shae" doesn't like the MJ so how did you get her to ride in it you lured her did you LOl TWIX LOl 😆 ha ha ha ah yah that's it LOl love you both and have a good night C😎😎L
Freedom Crawler hi David and Shae" and good after noon for you 10:27AM here in Calif. not sure is it one or two hour's different in time Calif. Texas yah and she can't say no to a twix LOl here's where Shae" sticks her tung out at me LOl 😆 ha woman funny people have a good day you both tell next time same place same channel don't touch that dial SUPPER DAVID AND WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HERO 🏇 C😎😎L
I know.. i know.. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to take it to and from the park. Flat tow would be fine but my steering is really loose and I’m worried it will death wobble the whole way. Then we have the trailer. Which I think it’ll barely fit on but it’s stacked with AS parts.. I’ll test it out soon though. I need to get it figured out because I don’t like driving it with the steering the way it is and having to make it home after
Even though I feel like I have a well built jku I trailer it just to have peace of mind .....I brought a 2015 18ft Kearney trail to haul mine and it’s 83in fender to fender and the jku is 87.6 wheel to wheel so it hangs over a couple on each side so I know the MJ isn’t that wide
Brought it from tri-Tex in Cisco TX .... the guys name is Rick . They sell tractors,trailers and he took my gooseneck in as trade.... be worth looking into for the price
After going back and forth in that for the last couple years the overall consensus is generally to have less music and just the natural outdoors. There’s music in a couple of ours. Like the Christmas mountain but for the most part i leave the open for you to play your own background music. That way you don’t have to watch a video with music you can’t stand. I do my best to keep these videos as unique as possible and not just follow the mainstream. I agree that it definitely helps sometimes though. Thank you for watching and the feedback, we always appreciate it
No no music hate trying to here the sounds of jeeps and the engines automotive enthusiasts and offroad enthusiasts want every opportunity to hear everything going on things happen things break and we want to hear it so when it happens to us we have an idea what it is and if the filmer need tips on something the viewers that know what they are hearing can then give input on the situation

I think I remember it being 6”
Poor Comanche
Great little truck for sure
That looks so fun. Wish I had trails like that close to home.
We are extremely lucky. Although we moved purposefully to be closer to the trails
Freedom Crawler Spoiler alert, I have to wait on the Airstream videos.
I meant we moved to Austin 4 years ago to be closer to the trails. Haven’t moved anywhere else yet lol
Freedom Crawler good I hate spoilers lol

I can appreciate that. I miss it
Been there a couple times with my JK. Barely made it up wildcat stairway on 33’s with a front locker and the throttle pinned. It was a blast! You need an Aussie in the front of your Manche!
I do need to get a bit bigger tires that’s for sure, although obviously even 40’s weren’t making it up this weekend lol
Freedom Crawler, yeah, looked pretty slick.
They said they’d been up it the weekend before with no issue. They are both front and rear locked too though. I’d still have had some trouble. What front locker are you running?

Love you're videos. I would love to have 1st gen someday
Thank you! We appreciate that
This makes me miss my Jeep!
Makes me miss all my others too!
How do the Ifs rigs do there thinking of planning a trip down there
I’ve wheeled both and you just have to wheel it differently. Not really any different than any other rock crawling trails. Great place to learn your rig and test it out for sure. Lots of options
Cool MJ, I’m about done with upgrades on mine and Hidden Falls is going to be my first stop!!! Hope to see y’all out there.
What size tires are you running? I
33 x10.5 at the time of this video
I still think you need to bob the rear end of that MJ. I got a sawzall and a torch holler at me ;)
It’s on the shortlist. Lol
That off road park looks awesome, spray starting fluid in the tire & flick matches at it, instant inflation
We are super fortunate to have it so close.
I agree, it was so caked inside with mud though that I need to clean it all out before I re-seat it
Man, that thing needs at least a front locker in it! I have a Spartan in mine upfront and it pulls like crazy!
Send one over and I’ll happily test it out! Lol although I fear breaking axles with a front spartan. I’m open to hearing feedback on them though.
what gears you running in the manche?
3.73 gears. the axles are out of a non-rubi LJ.
You need to fix the fuel tank leak before it catches fire on your bent up exhaust. And if anyone else gets stuck in that ditch they will not have crawl all over the fuel contaminated ground.
I agree
Like you videos. We are headed to Hidden Falls in April.
Air valve behind the wall makes rolling it up easier
Man that's a really boring route. You need to git out of the flat land and find something to climb.
Agreed, there’s a good mixture out there
shift manually down to 3rd and you can climb the hills

You could of at least took the knots out of that hose...lol...

All to their own but I play what I want or just listen
