This is kind of a delayed report. Most Overlanders take this pass and combine it with Cinnamon Pass to form the Alpine Loop. We did it a little different due to the size of our groups and did one half from Ouray to Animas Forks and then from Animas Forks over the pass to Lake City. This trail...

For the record, Tactical 4x4 no longer supports the sensors on the rear bumper with tire carrier. I don't know why.

I agree, something like a Torsen based system like True-Tracs should be fine and much more reliable, without sacrificing torque when the ABS system pulses. But if you are spending that kind of money it's hard to justify not going full-on locker unless you are worried about the stresses in your...

Subscribed. Nice! Where was that at? It looks like a fun trail.

Thanks guys! In my dreams, I hope to one day own an FJ cruiser with manual tranny, locker and A-Trac and my wife with a lifted 200-series. But in reality, all I can do is just drool over my cousin's rig. In any event, he's offered to film some more modifications and we hope to do a review...

So my cousin who owns the TRD Pro fires me a text saying "Hey, I was in Moab and took some footage on Hell's Revenge that clearly shows how A-TRAC works, maybe you could use it?" Sure enough, the short clip was perfect. Now, I know everyone reading this post ALREADY knows the fundamentals of...

Nice report! You, DesertRat and BackCountryExploration have moved Capital Reef from "maybe next year" to "As soon as I have time, I'm down there!" Great photos! And I can't wait until I can get down and add to everyone's reports.

You aren't interested in "extreme rock crawling" so why are you getting a 3.5-4" lift with the I'm assuming 33" or bigger tires? That's good for your rock crawling (which you aren't doing) but bad for on-road performance (which you want). I'm an ARB fan. So my build is strictly OME 2", with...

Is it the yellow guidebook mentioned in the credits of my vid? I can't remember where I found mine, but it had been useful for that area

Thanks. As soon as some of the higher elevations dry out, I'm planning on another easy quick run from the lava tubes of Flowell, to the abandoned wind farm of pahvant Butte and finishing at the old pioneer mud fort at Hinckley. An adventurer could then tie right into the Topaz trail and do...

We've had such a mild winter, I decided to take my family out West and enjoy the good weather. We did a historical route to the Japanese Internment Camp just west of Delta Utah, then along the old Highway 6&50 through Marjum Pass to a Hermit's Cabin, and then to a spring in the shadow of the...

It's really fun in a narrower vehicle. I don't have any pictures of the other vehicles, but I do have a clip of an XJ going through it at around the 3:45 second mark. I tried to que it up in the link for you. It's a very EASY passage if you have vehicle of reasonable width...

LocoCoyote, The National Park Service requires Elephant Hill to be run as a 1-way loop (it makes it seem less traveled since you won't have any incoming traffic save on the actual Hill itself). So there is no way around The Squeeze, you have to go through it. I just checked some wheelbase...

A few years ago we took my dad's H2 through Elephant Hill. It did very well. For those familiar with the trail, there is a "fun" spot called "the squeeze" where your drive through a crevice in the rock. In Jeeps, it's trivial. In a full size rig, you need to drive straight. In large rigs...

And our worst fears are confirmed. I'm trying to figure out the market for a super short wheelbase Disco 5? I can't see real adventurers buying this except a few brand loyalists, and why would the luxury buyers take this over a disco sport or evoque (small side) or a rangie sport or velar on...

Thanks! I'm trying to get better, and hopefully people have noticed improvement from my first reviews to my later ones. The actual dash cam is a wide-angle Garmin Virb, a lot of the outside shots are actually from an Olympus Tough point and shoot. The shots around Swayze's cabin and around...

That's not a bad idea. And if you are in a drone-friendly area, it wouldn't hurt to send the bird down first, you'll want the footage anyway. If the coast is clear, send the first rig down and do what you just said. It would save everyone a lot of stress.

This is one of my favorite trails, and I finally finished my video review. We ran into a group of Overlanders a couple of times, LR3s, JKU, Lexus, 4Runner, etc. I searched to see if they were on this site and posted their adventure, but I couldn't find it. We met them "just off of I70" (as in...

Excellent photo!

Yes, it was the Land Rover Centerville (Utah's dealership) annual run.
