Great videography and great trail run, I wish I was closer to you guys so I can join the club. I just retired and got a JLU , lifted it and now trying to decide what 37 inch tires to go with. Are you guys running MTs , Ridge Grapplers. Any advice apppreciated.
Great to see "mature" off roaders show that skill and good lines trumps dependence on skinny pedal. Keep on Jeepin!

Sorry for the delay in responding and thanks for watching! Tires depend on several factors, mostly what type of trails you'll be running. MT's can be noisy and wear quickly if you are driving to the trails but not a concern if you trailer. Most of us who don't trailer run AT's with reasonably aggressive tread which tend to be flatter and a little harder compound.

Nice video. Is 35 enough for this trail? I saw some recommendation on 37. Also if I don’t have skid plates is it safe to go?

[@VV4x4]

The silver Jeep in the video was on 35's, so yes, depending on driver experience. Skids are always a good idea. With great driving skills you can do a lot more with a lot less.😁

Do you remember how much roll you were getting at about 16 minutes? Great video, thanks!

[@VV4x4]

Not sure, but not as bad as it looks. Less than 15 degrees probably.
