    Brad, your videos never disappoint! Very professional. I'll be in Moab in two weeks and I now have added Top of the World to my trail list for the trip. Thank you for what you do. I know it takes a lot of time and effort putting these videos together. Now I can't wait for the next one in the series!!!!

    I am so thankful that you share the GPS coordinates, must be the military in you (always so detailed) most of the over landers on this format and on IG don't share them as if they don't want you going to the same spot they show off on their social media. You are the best on this format. Big Thank you and also Thank you for your service.

    If you ever wonder why am I spending all this money on a Jeep, this video explains it. One of you best vids ever Brad. Can't wait for the next episode.

    • @ChasWG
      @ChasWG 6 лет назад +2

      This statement is so very true! I have the same reaction to spending money on our XJ rig. You need a vehicle like this to be able to explore some of these places. Without a properly prepared rig, you just are going to be able to experience these place or have this sort of fun.
      Last week I took some of my family who live in Philadelphia and Chicago on a small, very easy trail(green) trail here in CO. I told them to rent a Jeep JK or a Toyota 4Runner. Of course they didn't. They got some sort of bigger Kia SUV. "Its a 4x4." No, no it wasn't. It was an AWD with a locking center diff with road tires. But with some slow, careful driving the Kia should have been able to make it. Somewhere around 10K ft, and not anywhere near our final destination, they wanted to stop and call it good. I was pissed. We were so close to this beautiful high alpine lake with the glacier that feeds it directly above the lake. A spot our father used to take us all as kids. Off course our XJ wasn't even troubled by any of this and I moved as many of them as I could into the XJ because the ride was smoother and more secure. But my brother-in-law didn't want me to drive his rental. So in the end we stopped at some wide spot in the road and had lunch. Not as cool as getting to the top and eating lunch by the first lake on the trail.
      Yeah, that's why I spend money on my Jeep. No regrets.

    Btw that first obstacle you guys got out at to look and talked about the bypass. I did the bypass my buddy did the obstacle and we both said the bypass was worse lol. I made it but it was the pucker moment on the way up. We did the other way going down and that was lots of fun as well. Love watching this great job Brad!!!

    • @TrailRecon

    • @TrailRecon

    You bump up over the step-stairs with a little momentum; just bump the step with your front wheels while keeping it rolling.
    It works!

    Awesome vid! Always enjoy your adventures you do with jeeps. Also learn to always check your jeep, before a long ride. Keep up the vids!

    As always a great video, Brad. Can someone tell me what those black brackets are on Marco's door hinges? TIA.

    Hey Brad, love your video's. As much as I WISH I had a 4X4 I don't. Curious if you could tell me of some great trails in Utah other than the Shafer Trail I could handle in my 06 TRD Off Road Tacoma Prerunner. I have all terrains & a locking rear diff. I plan on doing a LOT of dry camping to photograph the Milky Way & I'm going to Zion too! THANK YOU in advance!
