FJ Cruiser running "Yellow Jacket" at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, PA - Part Two

The is the second half of the video taken while running Yellow Jacket in an upwards direction. I had to split the video into two parts because the original was 14 minutes long. After reviewing the video, I think I could have traversed the obstacle a lot quicker if I had stayed closer to the passenger side before ascending the first group of rocks. Next trip up to Rausch I plan to try it again and see if I can do it in one pass.

@conroyz28: Yes, the A-Trac was engaged as well as 4-Low. I typically leave A-Trac engaged any time I'm off pavement and it does an excellent job of compensating for slip. In the case of this particular obstacle, my choice of lines was off a bit each time I tried and I kept getting hung up on my driver's side slider so it took me a bit longer to get through this area than expected. But I much prefer to finesse my way through an obstacle slowly, rather than gassing or hopping it too much.

You took a really goofy line through there actually, that's why it took you so long! Most people who run this trail either go too far passenger or too far driver. Looks like you were going too far driver at first.

The easiest way to do this is to keep your driver side tire up on the first big rock and follow the ridge line all the way up. It puts you way off camber. It feels worse inside the truck than it does looking at it from the outside.

Either way good job!

Did you have your A-Trac on
