Tortolita Pass Trail
Just north of Tucson AZ Tortolita Pass Trail is a fun off road trail that winds across the Tortolita Mountains. It can be driven in either direction, but locals usually start in Catalina where there are more side roads to explore on public State Trust Land, rather than private land. It’s a popular area for UTVs and ATVs. Also, there is a convenient staging area at the start. When dry, most of this trail is easy to moderate with the exception of a more difficult 2-mile section that is steep and rocky in places. When wet, this trail can be impassable. At the high point of the trail, we met up with a stock Nissan Xterra whose owner said he managed the trail just fine.

    I ran that exploring in a Dodge Megacab and ran it in 2wd before I knew what a badge of honor trail is, you are right the views are kinda cool. We will be there in October in our gladiator and will have my wife drive it to get use to driving light off road. Hiking trails in Big bend can be beautiful and a learning experience.

    I got a set of these and in my opinion I'd say just get a good set of ditch lights, wheel well rock lights, and a set of white led running board lights like from black flag lighting is more than enough on a pitch black trail to light up a 20-30 foot circle around my jeep. The only time I find myself wanting more light is in the front, and at that point any 30 inch light bar on the market with a spot flood combo will be adequate. I don't recommend cheaping out by any means on lighting though. Buy quality stuff the first time. These were nice on by themselves but once I had them and everything else on at the same time it became very obvious all the zones they were lighting up were already covered, and the ones that were farther out than the rock lights could reach were already lit up by the strips ditch lights and headlights. The would be sweet on a side by side though for sure

    Charouleau Gap has certainly gotten tougher over the years. I first went up it in 1972 on the back of a friend's dirt bike. I'd hop off and walk it when it was too steep for us both to be on the bike. Around 1983 or so could get all the way up and over the saddle and down to the creek in a 2WD 1966 Ford F100 pickup. My first 4WD ride up the trail was a in a little Chevy LUV pickup, which crawled up easily and surprised a Jeep group up in the saddle who'd been listening to me approaching for some time wondering what sort of four-wheeler it was. Later did it in both a 1989 Nissan D21 Hardbody and a friend's Jeep Cherokee. As I watch the video I do recognize some of the portions but all look more severe than I recall. Must be all the years of erosion and countless vehicles. Must be over 30 years now since I've been on it. Rather a shame folks can't know the route from before all the development. Back before Saddlebrooke and all the growth obliterated much of what had been Golder Ranch. The way in to the start of the Gap road was itself a bit of a wander across the desert, up the Canyon Del Oro Wash keeping a sharp eye out for where the path began. So now there's a "Kiosk" at the start? Wow ... just ... wow ....

    Big Question...did it help at all with the infamous "rattle" from the white part of the evap canister? I am thinking of moving it, but am hoping it is a more solid mount than the factory. If I really press up on the old skid plate, trying to get it not to bounce, the rattle isnt so bad when i hit the canister. But as of now, i can hear that damn thing rattle on every bump in the road.

    • @NotICON
      @NotICON 10 місяців тому

      I honestly don’t remember a rattle from the evap canister. I will say that the mount is very solid. It doesn’t move and it holds the canister snugly.

      Manual or automatic? The new 8 speed automatic is a real game changer when it comes to the need for a regear. If you have 4.10 gearing and an auto, 37s aren’t an issue. If it’s a manual then 4.56 will get you back to a stock feel.
