Tincup Pass Video Trail Guide and Review featuring a stock Jeep Renegade, two KL Cherokee Trailhawks, and a stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Tincup Pass is near Buena Vista, Colorado and can be started from either St. Elmo, CO or Tincup, CO. The trail is rated as Difficult due a few rough sections, but only reaches a 6 if you take Old Tincup, the original more vertical route to the top. I’d definitely recommend skid plates, rock rails, good tires, and have a true a 4wd system in your vehicle. Disconnecting the sway bar and airing down will make the trip more enjoyable for most.

My name is Dewie Jones and I’ve been messing with Jeeps since I was younger. I’ve daily driven a wrangler my entire driving life starting with a 1997 TJ and now I’m in 2012 JK. I like the challenge of driving a stock wrangler on tough trails. My buds are not new to wheeling either, but for their own specific reasons, now wheel aggressive SUV based off-roaders like KL Cherokees, 4Runners, and Renegades. We decided Colorado Mallcrawlers was a funny name so we changed the channel’s name (plus the old name was hard to search for).
@coloradomallcrawlers4 years agoOk, im enjoying all your comments including the critical ones, however, i need to clarify some things. You need to own what you say and i will not accept o so, i appreciate all of you for watching these, for subscribing, and definitely for commenting. I realize most of the comments are good natured even if critical so keep it up and yes, i do reflect upon the insight given. This just needed to be said based on some comments being posted. ...Expand49

@H3YB33ZY3 years agoHoly crap that renegade can take some punishment! I actually was thinking of buying one and wondered what those little cars are capable of.

@paulpita20552 years agoGood details. Also noticed no one was aired down. Would have helped with traction climbing and down hill on rocks. And you can manually disconnect sway bars with a few wrenches. 2

@duilioproni46724 years agoFirst of all, i love your videos. One of my more favorite channels. Keep up the good work! i came here to harp on the renegade driver, but it seems one suggestion for the videos: when showing a car' s specs, why not freeze-frame for a few seconds while the car is passing so we can read the specs without missing any action? You could make the overlay more prominent, too. Sometimes i don' t notice them at all until the second (or third) viewing. ...Expand8

Now i' ve discovered your videos and taking notes for ideas for our next trip out there. Your guides are really helpful and i appreciate that you don' t sugarcoat things or edit down to only the sunshine and rainbows parts. You are showing us some real wheeling, great places to do it, and giving us the info we need to decide which trails we are comfortable tackling. Thank you. ...Expand1

I have generally considered them to only be a half-sibling in the jeep family. this is one aspect of this guys videos that i enjoy the most; seeing different models of 4x4s and awds compared in the trail environment. I am especially interested in seeing how cherokee-class cuvs perform on the trail. Its surprising how good the4x4 systems have become, and from what ive observed, jeepis about the best. ...Expand4

Really you should all think about a different hobby/pastime. My two kids driving offroad at 12 years old were much more competent. Seriously, you endanger everyone near you and can ruin a great day for others simply with your presence. I guess i won' t even bother commenting on thethat was given. Wow!
