If you haven’t done Miller rock check it out. This video my son made will give you an idea of the trails difficulty. It’s not easy but it’s not hard. Check it out…

Like your filming style. Nice trail. Even a little bit of human climbing for the win.

XR with 37s?

Yes, and a 3.5” lift so it can flex

Great video by your son. The ending made me chuckle

If you haven't done miller rock and you decide to go and you get to that obstacle don't think you can go left to do a bypass.....

???

I was probably being a little overdramatic, but, I was one of three on our group who had the most experience on a trail. This was the first year having a Jeep and doing trails like this. In hindsight, I probably could have just turned hard passenger and let the rear keep sliding so I could just drive over that log and drive up the hill, then back up and do some Austin Powers type turning to get facing the right direction on the trail again. It was a little scary sitting in that Jeep thinking I'm about to roll down this valley, nice knowin ya, as every rotation of the tire I kept sliding in that soft dirt.

The group split up. The other two went back the way we came. We were running late and based on Gaia, this direction had a road that connected, a "short cut". The other two didn't want to go down the obstacle (a newbie in a lifted Gladiator on 37s and a stock Tacoma Sport) so they turned around and I didn't want to go take that "bypass" (which isn't a bypass) or climb the obstacle so I continued to the "short cut". I made it to the bottom, saw the river crossing and thought I'd die there so I turned around and luckily caught them on the radio.

I showed them the line I want my tires on and boy was that ever a fun climb! EXHILARATING!! A modified Jeep came up right behind me. I had to back up some to give room to the guys ahead of me and reposition. I threw it in reverse and felt bad for the guy behind me but he shouldn't have come up so close. He put it in reverse then backed down the whole obstacle then came back up it like it was nothing, definitely not an amateur like me. We made it out alive.

Best part was on the way home, there was some construction so one way down the canyon road and everyone was stopped. I got out to go walk down by the river and I saw that black Jeep. I walked over to them and sincerely apologized for making them back down that obstacle. He and his girl laughed it off and said no problem, that was some good wheeling I did! I felt really proud.

It was a good day.

It's fun to think back and look at your skill level in the past and compare it to now and see how far you've come. A year and a half ago I was afraid of the Miller Rock major obstacle and that tiny water crossing. Today, I'm doing all the obstacles on Elephant Hill without a spotter and welcome water up above my 37s. ?

That one is on my list. If you are up for spotting me down that obstacle, hit me up sometime and I'll join ya.

I second this. Filming style is on point!
