"A stock off-road vehicle with a small lift and 33 inch tires should be able to complete."

Thanks for the suggestions! Being from Louisiana, I usually take my Jeep through the Jackson area.

This is perfect. I've been looking for a video like this. Hope to take my 2020 TRD OR 4x4 soon.

These trails look awesome for me to start going off-road. However, I don't have anyone to go out with. I'm new to Yuba City. Do you recommend any clubs around here to join? Thanks.

Can't wait til I get lockers, I want to try these.

These trails don't look like the easiest - every vehicle on this video looks pretty tough

[VentureAHighway]

Awesome video. Thank you! I'm thinking of getting my first Jeep soon.

New subscriber,
Own a new Rubicon also.
Found this channel to be exactly what I was looking for to slowly bring the wife around for more pricey Jeep goodies.
And I use the ... onX off-road app
Seems to work pretty good.

Look forward to more trail ride video and a recover gear equipment video.

Awesome video I have a stock Tacoma I like to take out to signal peak i like to know is when is a good time and date to go out there

[jiml]

Thanks for the videos you post. Planning on a trip up to gold lake and was wondering if a stock Jeep would be able to get to Gold Lake via Sierra City. Not on the gold lake highway

[lignas]

Thanks for the video...just got 2020 TRD OFF 4runner. I will be running 265/70/17 ATW Wildpeaks and stock suspension. Hopefully this is good enough.

I was hoping that the trails profiled in this video would be suitable for a stock Jeep Renegade Trailhawk but it doesn't appear so.

When you say stock, are you referring to Jeeps in particular?
