Full size truck doing the tight switch backs of elegant hill. It's steeper then it looks in the video.

I love Elephant Hill trail and have done it several times in a Jeep. I dont know that I would want to try it in my Crew Cab full size pick up but you just proved it can be done. Good job..

This is indeed way steeper than it looks! This is a great set of videos, thanks for uploading them. (I really dig the follow behind cinematography as well.)

You have to work your way up to it. I started on easy trails, and you just keep pushing yourself and the truck. You’ll be surprised where you can take it.

Curious ! I travel the needles often.... Did you go out to Devils Kitchen via "dupont alley" or "squeez play" (two names for the narrow passage before D.K. Camp area) ? Been through from beef basin to E. Hill with my Ram which is route around that spot. Have wondered if I'd fit thru OK with my big truck. (Ram 2500). Do it in my Jeep alot and have measured it, but actually squeezing through is the real test. Thanks. Nice work on the hill BTW. No slips or chirps. Amazing how many people struggle on that acsent.

It was extremely close. But I didn't hit the mirrors. The 2500 sits a little taller, that might tip you over a little more. But I think if you stack some rocks you'll be good.

Are Ram 1500s well suited for off roading with the independent front suspension? I’ve always been under the impression that solid axels are the be all end all for off roading. Would love to hear some input from anyone who knows what they’re talking about.

I like it. and they are a lot stronger then use to be. I have to do a lot more modifications to get it to flex more. My friend has an FJ cruiser and it’s IFS is amazing. I seen him jump it and beat the hell out of some big rocks. IFS is really good unless you want to make a budget rock buggy.

@chrisbogan7418 3 жыл бұрын

It’s all good. I enjoy helping. You can do a 35 on your stock rims. You’ll need to get 1.5 inch wheel spacers. For clearance. That my original set up. As seen in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLahldSCpt2cp4E.html 17 inch rims is something you might want if you find yourself off roading a lot. Having the extra side wall will let you air down more making the ride better and gives you more traction.
