Great pics! Looks like you guys had great weather. It's a good thing you installed those skids before you headed out.
-
I took a some lines I never had before but since I had all the skids now I just went for broke :)

I forgot to mention we had two QT1 WK's with us today. I was worried about it at first but they did better then I thought. I'm not saying they had it easy but at least they could go where we wanted. Now they had to take some different lines as well, and we had to stop a couple of times so there transmissions could cool off. The long steep rock hills pushed them real hard. But all an all I was impressed with how they handled it. IamJeep do you have the factory tow package?
-
This is the first video I have up. Its of one of the QT1 WK's coming down some rocks.

I literally said eww out loud when the back end hit.
I can see a definite difference in QT1 too, but it didn't hold him back, just slowed him down a little.

When you get at an angle like that, with the wheel off the ground, open and close a door to show the rigidity of the unibody.
Sal-You have a very interesting exhoust at the beginning of your video. Sounds good!
Keep your arm in the window....
Looks awesome!!

I'm not sure where the habit of sticking my arm out the window came from but I seem to do it all the time weird. Oh I think I'll take my doors of one day for a trip up there.

Sal, I do not have the factory tow package. I added the hitch and harness myself, but I guess i'm missing tbe bigger fan and whatever else comes with the package. Can't see the vids on my phone for some reason, i'll bust out the laptop later to check them out.

I was just curious bro because they didn't have it either and I'm sure the extra cooling stuff you get would of helped them out a little. No worries bro we only stopped twice to let them cool down and you need to stop every now and again on the trail to take a break anyway.

The exhaust to me sounds like a 4 stroke motorcross bike/fourwheeler. Sounds very similar to my CRF250R honda. I'm sure there was a bike/fourwheeler on the trail somewhere.
-
Nice vids, you deffinately need rock sliders. Lol..... Looks like my XK is going to get a work out, can't wait to see how it handles itself.
-
Im pretty sure my QTI has a trans cooler but when your moving slow there isnt much air across it..
-
It was the step long climbs that gave them trouble but nothing taking a little break cant fix

steeper than up at Flagpole ? The V6 does have a trans cooler, dont know if its the same as the V8 has. My biggest worries has been not having any skid plates.

The short answer is yes and the loose rocky ground adds to its difficulty. Chapman89 didn't have skids either and I have been running those trails with out skids for a while. I don't recommend it obviously but being careful and taking the easier lines you should be ok, but if you have the funds it might be worth it. At least the suspension skid for $45 is pretty reasonable.

Just paid $4.09pg 89octane today and my Jeep runs like crap on this grade.
-
Yes we will be on those exact trails and more. We only ran three trails out there and it took us all day to do it. So there is plenty out there to keep us busy. I've never put anything but 87 in my XK.
-
Sal, what is the rating for those trails ?

This is what I meant.
Cool, can't wait.

I run 87 which is what Jeep recommends for the V6, thank God. $3.79 here

Not sure Uwharrie has its own rating system and I'm not sure what they use to measure that. We stayed out of the extreme parts because I wasn't comfortable bringing the QT1 guys threw it even down hill. The trail you seen me hitting and scraping was considered Extreme but we were on the back side of that trail its the other side that gives it its rating if that makes sense. Sometimes I see no difference between there moderate and difficult trails. Uwharrie is that place you can make what you want out of it. You can get threw most of it in 2wd or you destroy a trail rig.

Sal, I was thinking you need to take those damn running boards off, worst thing ever invented for a 4WD in my opinion , but now I see they are actually protecting the rockers spretty well.
