Project-JK Achy-Breaky Jeep Trail - Stoddard Valley OHV Area

Located in the Stoddard Valley OHV Area just south of the town of Barstow, CA, the Achy-Breaky is a "difficult" rated Jeep trail that circumvents the base of a small mountain called Watkins Peak. What this trail lacks in scenery is definitely made up for in all the fun and challenging side canyons that you get to climb up and descend along the way. While there are bypasses to all the hardest obstacles, if you're coming out to play, you need to know that the rocks and ledges here are big, mean and tire eating sharp. For a Jeep JK Wrangler, I would have to say that 2.5" of lift, 35" tires, tow points, rocker guards and factory skid plates are must. Of course, if you're lucky enough to have lockers, all the better. While the official loop is only 6.2 miles long, making your way through the network of criss-crossing trails can be tough even with a GPS and, depending on the size of your group and their skill level, you can easily expect this trail to take at least 4 to 5 hours to complete. In this short video, you will get to see what running the Achy-Breaky is like as we highlight a run we did toward the end of last year with our good friends Trail Bud, sm_rubi and Blonda.

@wayalife Thanks for the advice!

@Coonpiss 4" of lift is a lot of lift and more than you need to run 35's. i personally wouldn't do it as it would make you too tall and require a lot more to be done to keep your jeep riding and handling well ON PAVEMENT. 20" wheels are way big for 35's and i might recommend you stick with something more like 17".

@wayalife I have a serious question, I'm currently 14, and my and my parents have decided on getting me a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, I was wondering if you could tell me whether or not it would be pointless to but a 4 inch lift on it with 35 inch toyo tires with 20 inch xd rockstar rims, if the jeep were to be a daily driver and I were to only offroad every weekend (little bit of mud, and sand, and trails)? -Nice videos, keep them up!-

Not worried just wondering. I just sold my 06 Dodge 2500 4X4 diesel.So anything around 10 is fine by me. Plus I'm not spending 4.50 a gallon. I just wanted a heads up. Thanks
