Wheeling The Hardest Trail At Rausch Creek! My Jeep Gets Some Body Damage

A few weeks ago during my trip to Rausch Creek Offroad Park, I decided to try Crucible! Crucible is a new trail, and is said to be the hardest trail at the park.
This trail has no bypasses, no side exits, no way out other than to finish the trail... It’s knarly.
Most of you know that I finished my Junkyard 1 ton swap, and I really wanted to test the new axles out.
So I decided to push my Jeep Wrangler and see how it could do! As you can tell, It’s a very tight trail, and the further you go on the trail, the bigger the rocks get.
The first major obstacle is a very off-camber hill, with a tree on the passenger side, and a large rock right in the middle. It’s hard to see on the GoPro, but the rock is huge (enough for me to highcenter with 40s). You can’t drive up the hill towards driver side due to the off camber hill. This is a challenging spot, I think some momentum would be the key instead of crawling the rock. However too much speed and you’ll end up rolling your Jeep.
After pinning myself to the tree, we decided to try to winch the Jeep to the side via a snatch block to the rear bumper. The winch pull location was less than ideal, however it was the only tree suitable for a heavy load. Once we started winching, it was actually working!! The Jeep moved off the tree about a foot, untils the angle from the winch line pull was too much, the bumper frayed the synthetic line and SNAP!
We tied a new knot in the line and proceeded to winch forward, ultimately damaging the hardtop and getting a good amount of body damage on the rear quarter panel.
Halfway through the trail, a huge storm rolled in (hence the sudden change in lighting), so we sped it up and finished off the trail.
Overall it was an awesome trail, and was a fun, challenging experience in my Jeep. If your looking to test your Jeep, and don’t mind some damage then try it out next time your there! Or at least walk it to see the awesome size of the rocks.
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for some body repair videos, a winch line replacement video and a video of Cassie and I testing out our new Jeep Gladiator on the trails! Make sure to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe for more!
