This is my 3rd brother's first time out on the trail and first time ever on this hill challenge. After I showed him and advised him on the climb, he made it up climbing at a crawl in Rock Mode and 4Low.
You can see his confidence in the speed and then his awkward turn around at the top of the hill. That's why I'm taking my brother out on these trails to learn there limits as well as the Jeeps. Any fishing or camping trails they ever run into will be a breeze compare to these trails.

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.
We made him go back and try it again in 4Low and Rock Mode to see the difference - In another video.

All this offroading and the windshield cracked from highway driving.
This is in Bee Canyon in the San Jacinto Mountains. I'm trying to waste the last of the camcorder's battery. Just showing off a bit of the trail.

I filmed the 4runner going up this hill from the bottom. This is a shot from the top of the hill with the Renegade coming up. My brother started coming up before I started filming, so I told him to go back down and start again. The car didn't have any issues up this hill in rock mode and 4wd lock on.
Hill rating 6.5/10.

My 1st brother coming down a deep drop in the road. He had just climb it and came back around. He slowed and hesitated because it felt weird for him when the car tires where off the ground. That's when I had to coach him a bit.
Wranglers and 4Runners would drop their tires into the hole with the amount of flex and articulation they have. With the Renegade's suspension design the car likes to drive on 3 wheels. It lifted itself up and over the hole, instead of dropping it's tire into it. Interesting way of getting through this obstacle compared to tradition 4x4s.
Check out the other video of him driving up this part.

This is me trying Sand Mode after I played around in Auto Mode in the wash. Rain water from the city all run down into this area against the mountains. I noticed that in Sand Mode the lockers would kick in every now and then when the car felt the need for it.
We experience getting stuck and pulling cars out of the area before. Anything without 4WD or 4X4 has to be wary of stopping or slowing down in this sand.
We drove off the road and followed the wash down stream a bit, but nothing was as soft sanded as this area.
