Potts Mountain Jeep Trail - How is this NOT a Badge of Honor!?
Part 2 of the Virginia trip with Jamie to Potts Mountain Jeep Trail in the George Washington National Forest on a beautiful day. This trail is AWESOME and definitely lives up to the black classification with one very sketchy mandatory obstacle. How is it possible that this FREE public trail is NOT a Jeep Badge of Honor trail!? We also meetup with Will from @DefiantOffroad at an amazing creekside camp in GWNF to close out the weekend.

    @alec4699 Pƙed měsĂ­cem

    Good video, nice trail, love the action. 99% off roaders are afraid of success, they let off when momentum is working.. Never gets old to see. JLU setup needs worked on.. That JLU is way too heavy, lacks off road sway bars, and is super stiff in the rear. Which hinders articulation in the rear and greatly effects the front. The suspension is working against you. Tires lifting or without weight on them means no traction. And for heavens sake replace those steps with proper sliders, they're nothing but a hazard and reduce clearance. Proper tires would make a difference as well. That yellow cherokee is super interesting, bravo to him. The rest of the vehicles need help.
