This is a short teaser clip of our 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk being tested out on the Last Chance Canyon Jeep Trail soon after we installed a brand new 1.5" Daystar lift and a set of 225/75R16 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires. As you will see, we took on a tough rocky ledge about half way through the trail and even though we were hanging tires on more than one occasion, our little Renegade was still able to crawl its way up to the top and under its own power. I hope you enjoy the clip.
LOL!! Honestly, we didn't do any of the stacking. The rock you see was most likely put there by someone else but, we were more than happy to use it. Without it, I have no doubts we could have still made it but we would have smashed in our front bumper even more than it already is
LOL!!! That's about what it was like. Surprisingly, the traction control system on the Renegade is really advanced and on the Trailhawks, if you select the 4WD LOW mode, it practically behaves like it's got lockers.
Damn, that thing already has battle scars? Lol. I can't say I'm surprised. Thanks for posting up the vids.
LOL!! Oh yeah, both corners of the front bumper have been smooshed and are all rashed up. The approach angle on the Renegade just isn't there and I may try to do some trimming to help this out. The rocker trim is pretty beat too but, I'm hoping to replace them with rocker guards soon.
LOL!! These things really are a ton of fun Thanks again for joining us out in the desert and helping us out. You and Steph rock!
The pleasure was all ours. We had a blast out there! Glad we got to see first hand what the Renegade can do with a lift and bigger tires.
For those of you who've been wanting to see a full length video of our run out on the rocks in Last Chance Canyon, I'm happy to say that we're close to have it done and we should be able to upload later on today! :thumb:
