We couldn't help but laugh when my brother pulled this move. This is my 3rd brother attempting his first offroad challenge ever. We told him to drive into the hole and through it in Auto Mode and 4WD Lock. When he started slipping, he decided to take an easier path.
4th of July, 2021. We waited for high tide to try and fish some flounder. But all we got was 4 tiny Sculpins.

My brother ran up the hill and started filming...
This is our 2nd day out on the trails with the Renegade and the 4runner just got some upgraded differentials installed with new rims.
We're still learning the capabilities/limitations of the new Renegade. And playing/figuring out all the drive modes.
This is on the Thomas Trail in the San Jacinto Mountains. I would rate the trail a 6/10. The bit off the main road i would rate 7/10.
The last bit on the top is the tricky part. The dirt becomes very soft sand and it gets a bit steeper all of a sudden. The 4runner won't make the last bit in 2wd mode and we couldn't make it up with my cousin's 4wd CRV on street tires. We only attempted this hill on rock mode and 4wd lock in the Renegade, so I don't know if it would've made it in any other modes.

Nice canyon carving after the gate entrance into Bee Canyon. They recently bulldozed the first bit of the trail. This flat bit before the climb caters to recreational shooters. Check the fire danger sign at the ranger station right before the turn off into Bee Canyon for shooting availability. Low Fire Danger - Shoot all Day. High Fire Danger - Shoot until 1pm. Very High Fire Danger - No shooting. The rangers will hear the shooting and drive through the canyon.

My 3rd brother attempting his 2nd hole challenge in Auto Mode and he corrected the line again to make it through. We had him back up and do it again in Rock Mode to see the difference.

The rain wash out this bit and left a steep climb around some rocks. The cutout just about fit the width of the car, so we had to go through it. This tested the clearance and push/climb over large obstacles.
My brother using his camera phone on this bit. He had to hike to check the road ahead and didn't want to carry the expensive camera.

We went up and down this bit on 3 wheels. The Jeep pushed through it on the climb and here it is rolling down.
