- Went out for a chill day with the Mid Ohio Jeepers Organization on their monthly ride, and ended up with the modified group! It was a great day on the trails, even with the complications that resulted! And yes, after spending 2+ hours with the garden hose the radiator is back to normal!
Mods:
-Rocky Road Super Sliders (rock rails)
-Dobinsons KL Trailhawk suspension lift, paired with partial Hazard Sky lift spacers to achieve 2.5" lift
-32" Milestar Patagonia MTs (265/70/17) (had to trim front fenders and pinch welds)
-40" Rough Country Curved LED DLR Light bar with Hazard Sky mounts
-Rock Lights (cheapo)
-4" Pod Lights (cheapo)

Boyd co ky here. Awesome vids keep them coming.
Glad to know the TH can go through that stuff, but there is NO WAY I'm taking mine through some of that!
One night, I was at Walmart and I saw ur youtube on ur Jeep, I looked it up and now I’m subscribed
Thats awesome man!
I need to get my Cherokee pals three wheeling like that again! Fun vid!
Thanks man!
Awesome. That lift and the tires add a lot of extra capability for you.
Yes, bigger tires i think are the most useful thing. Glad you enjoyed!
@@FearlessTrailhawk I just got a 2017.. I want to lift it 🍻
Will you do a trail hawk Rubicon trail at any time? Would love to see that. I got my 2020 Trailhawk elite watching your videos I liked that jeep so muck I bought one same roof as yours too. I have the same size tires as yours except I run the KO2's, I like them alot. I had the lift done by Summit off-road in Prescott. I'm doing little stuff at a time as I go. But I love that jeep first vehicle I got in where I actually had to move the seat forward a little and I'm 6'6 so that was good.next year ill get my roof rack and all my camping gear ready cause I owe my wife some quality time as she had been taking care of me for the last 10 years with a back injury. Just started getting my back surgery cause insurance would not pay for it.what I fight but your videos help me
Out it gave me some hope and something really fun to look forward too.God Bless. And yes I got the same color But white is one of my favorite colors so that's on me,lol.
Thanks man, i'm glad you have enjoyed the videos! However, I likely won't ever be doing a "trailhawk ride" on the rubi...simply because it is 2,500 miles away from me, and i don't like to lead rides on trails i'm not familiar with. Second, i'll be lucky if i can ever get my own TH onto that trail. Third, i'm not about to be the bane of existence for everyone else on the trail for those couple/few days...it would be slow going taking a group of TH's that would need spotted every 100 ft...we would be HATED for clogging the trail. I very much expect that if i ever get to run it, i'll be spending a good amount of time pulled off to the side letting traffic by...which is a lot easier with only a few rigs.
Damn those trails look fun!!! Was this in V County Ohio?
Yes sir!
Can you disconnect the back sway bar for more articulation? Does the trailhawk have that option. Great video and thanks for sharing.
You can disconnect anything if you try hard enough...but no, not really an option. As our suspension wasn't really designed to go to those distances. Like in the front, if it would drop any further, the CV shaft would be rubbing against a frame bracket. So yes i could disconnect the front, but it would only cause damage to other bits.
Were you using a Super Soaker or some similar squirt gun in that last scene? Aside from removing mud off your radiator, never know when a squirt gun battle could breakout.
Yes, super soaker to clean the radiator and belts.
Hey man! I have a 2019 TH that I wheel regularly. I was wondering what modifications you have? I was thinking 31” with a hazard sky 1.5” lift. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks for being fearless
Glad you are getting out there and having fun! All my mods are listed in the description of each video as they were at the time of the vid ~2" lift and 31-32's will get you through a lot.
Well I guess you don't have to fill in the ruts just bulldoze the middle
What psi do you run on your tires when off roading? Didn't really think that would cause much overheating. Handy tip to keep a water gun in the vehicle, if only for the fun.
Best description of that mud was fondu. It was super thick. I usually run about 20 psi.
Nice vid. How long did it take for the trail hawk to cool down? Such a great track!
It didn't really until the next day when i spent 2 hours with a garden hose to clean out all layers of the radiator. I kept it just below red-line with use of turning the heater on full blast to suck some heat from the engine bay. The initial washing just cooled everything off enough to not be an emergency, once i hit the highway it got hot again.
Lol, been there. Took me 3 weeks to get most of the thick mud clay out of mine. Still finding some in nooks and crannies a year later. Needless to say, I don't go out of my way to hit mud pits.
When you did your lift did you change out the front control arms?im looking at lifts now and leaning towards the gleaming alloy stilettos lift kit.I’ve noticed I’m not seeing front control arms like I do for the rear.also have you seen the gleaming alloy full lift?and what is your opinion if you have?i just got back from doing the holly oaks badge of honor stock in my ‘21 trailhawk it was awesome but definitely drug the bottom a lot.
Yeah, there are no options for front control arms, though there may be some random knock-off OEM versions on some of the auto parts sites.
Yes, i was talking with Gleaming through the development of the rear arms, however they aren't designed to work with the dobs springs as they would lift too much. But they are a great alternative and provide really good clearance!
I did Holly Oaks this past year with me ex and her gladiator, its on the list to hit this summer in my KL
@@FearlessTrailhawk I’m leaning towards the Dobinson 2in lift.if the gleaming alloy had something more then spacers for the front I’d give them more of thought.
What suspension..mods have U done? ,Lift ? Impressive how far a trailhawk can go

Do you run 89 oct? 2015s recommended it but may have changed on 19.
I had a '17 and this '19, never saw any octane recommendations for either of those. I typically run 87 (in ohio), every blue moon i'll run a tank of the highest octane i can get, but don't really notice any difference.
Fearless Trailhawk Yeah says it in my manual but usually run 87 in mine.
My 2015 manual recommends 87 octane
Do they ever go back and fill in these ruts on these trails or do people just have to get bigger tires every year
The axle's and diffs generally carve it down. It only gets bad when it gets wet then all the guys with the larger MT's just dig it out because they don't want to get pulled. Then when it dries up the ruts fill in a bit and 33's can do most of them again for a short time. But there are a couple places that got dug out BAD this past winter. Used to be stock passage, now stocks have to take a sketchy bypass.
Is the handling still good with the two and a half inch lift? Looks like you can zip around no problem.
Its stiffer, so its more responsive. Some people like that, some don't.
I just got a 2015 Cherokee trailhawk. Living in ne Ohio. Yall ever come up this way? What advice would you give a noob?
For MOJO most of the trail rides are down around Chillicothe. But there are quite a few members from up your direction. As far as places to go, Southington Offroad Park i've heard is great, just don't go alone. I'm looking to maybe do a ride up there at some point but not sure when. Also look up Ohio Valley Trailhawks.
@@FearlessTrailhawk ya there only about 20 mins from me. Don't have any jeep friends close that could go with and I have checked them out. Thanks
Would you say the Dobson's KL springs are stiffer than the stock springs?
Yes. Thats how it gets a lift.
What is the FB page name to find out about the 7/18 ride?
Try just doing a search for "Trailhawk Ride"? Date is listed in event title, and the picture is 5 KL's parked in the water. It is an 'open' event so you should be able to see it and such. If not, look up "Ohio Valley Trailhawks" and the event was shared on there.
@@FearlessTrailhawk found it, thanks! I hope to make it out there.
Did you have to use swaybar link extensions ?
Nope. Didn't know they existed. Doesn't matter much since our CVs can only go so far anyways.
@@FearlessTrailhawk true but the links would keep the stress off of them if they went too far lol.
Place an ad on Craigslist for an amateur videographer that will exchange their footage for free travel and adventure. Take your videos to a new even higher level.
Yeah...the old "exposure" and expenses doesn't work so well anymore. And Jeep life is expensive enough as it is without paying a video guy to come film me.
@@FearlessTrailhawk Read my post again. I didn't say pay anyone. In exchange for them giving you the footage they get to go on a free ride and adventure with you. I bet someone would do it. I don't have a clue what you mean by "the old "exposure" ".
@@punktexas its an old joke among amateur/semi-pro artists/media people...getting paid with "exposure" bucks...as in, only getting the experience and adventure, in return for services rendered to help someone else make money. I know many who laugh at the idea. Exposure and experience don't pay the bills.
And if i'm paying for their travel to/from...that is costing me money to have their services...which the budget considers the same as paying someone for their services.
@@FearlessTrailhawk If it's about making money sometimes you have to spend money to make money. I didn't think your channel had that many views to be done only for profit. I thought you were doing it for the fun of it. My bad. My own channel that I never monetized has over 3k subs and 1.36 million views. I did it for fun back a few years ago but I've always wondered if I did monetize it would it have been just stressful or less/not fun? I do enjoy your channel and now I understand, it is what it is. I'm looking forward to your next video.
