My brother squirming upstream in a dried out wash. Just a quick shot of the Renegade coming through the trees. This ended up being a dead end, so we did this shot real quick. Then took some photos.

We parked and hiked for a bit and hit up this hill before we left for the day. The 4runner has gone through a transmission replacement a few months back and differential replacement/upgrade 2 weeks before this day out. Even with leaky turbo it's been running strong and hasn't ran into any troubles out on Thomas Trail, Bee Cayon, Old Idylwild Road, or Black Mountain.
Luckily the transmission and differential problems occurred on the streets and not out on the trails. With it's age and little engine power, I'm surprised at how it has preformed on the trails. The constant repairs on this old truck will push it to be very reliable soon.
Hill rating 7/10. Recommended 4X4 with lockers on.

Just getting some different camera angle to play around with for future videos. Most of these were no good at all, but I wanted to show the viewers what we're playing around with. With the cameras and with the Jeep, to try and provide some better videos. Maybe I'll even throw in some edited videos in the future.

After my 1st brother had a few goes through the water, my 3rd brother wanted a try. This is his first go at it.
The water came up just above the black trim of the side skirts.

We went looking for Steelhead on the Green River. The backup plan was to do some trout fishing if we couldn't find any Steelhead. We drift floated trout magnets, used Blue Fox spinners, but had the most success with various colors of Rooster Tails. We used light and ultralight setups with 4-6 lbs line. We carried a 2nd rod with a heavier setup and rig for Steelhead. Just in case.

After my 1st brother failed to get the Jeep up the difficult bit, I decided to give it a go myself. Rock Mode and a lot of gas.

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.
