Sketchy Moment on Windrock's Trail 26 (Thermostat Fail & Near Rollover)

Today’s Windrock adventure turned into way more than I expected. A failing thermostat, a surprise check engine light, a shortcut that got me lost, a climb to Panther Rock, and then… nearly rolling the Jeep on Trail 26. This is the complete Badge of Honor double-trail run: Trail 51 Panther Rock and Trail 26, two of the most iconic off-road routes in Tennessee. If you’re planning to run these trails, curious about Windrock OHV, or just love watching real-world Jeep adventures (the kind where things actually go wrong), this video has it all. ⛰️ Trail Breakdown Trail 51 — Panther Rock: A scenic, technical route with tight trees, deep ruts, and an overlook that rivals Top of the World (Moab fans, you know the vibe). Trail 26 — Badge of Honor: A narrow, rocky, water-cut descent known for off-camber obstacles, high berm walls, and the infamous gatekeeper. This trail tried to flip my Jeep, and I’ve got the footage to prove it. 🛠️ What Happened on This Trip? – Thermostat failure & the dreaded check engine light – Trail repairs at camp – A shortcut that got me completely turned around – Panther Rock views – Trail 26 chaos, including a near rollover – Clearing a fallen tree with a brand-new axe – Earning two Tennessee Badge of Honor trails in one day #Adventure #windrock #Jeep 👉 All the Dunnage Garage adventures from 2025 in one place. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlhGuXAPJV7XutJB3S55PKimky18w6C36&si=EUnyW5-1JXoc8257 V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T : 👉 Do you want to watch more of the Dunnage Garage adventures?
