Wheeled a new trail Saturday with a new group. Ten rigs in the group and I was 3rd inline. It was a long day 11hrs 58 miles some asphalt.

My 3b preformed well and ran great all day. When we arrived at the hill obstacles the first 3 rigs went through without any problems however, the back 7 rigs turned into a 4 hr+ winchfest.

It's been raining a lot in the region and I was expecting some overgrowth on the trail. The entrance of the trail was a sheet of green and I didn't realize it was the trail until the lead Jeep went through. The video is 20ft into the trail. Enjoy!

(I found the location of the squeak and has been corrected.)

Cool. Nice pictures.
Also my kind of trail, slow and rocky.
Spring inside one of the hood catches making that noise ?

The noise was coming from the passenger seat privet brackets.

Took me months to track that down on mine. Filled it with bearing grease and called it a day. Every time it rains, the fender gets messy, but that squeak is enough to make me jam knitting needles in my ears!
 
What where the rigs that couldn't make it up?

The Trooper and Suzuki pictured above, a JK Rubicon, and the rest tacos. All had 33” tires or larger. Some locked, some were not. The first 3, a JK, taco on 37”, and me on 33” locked.
