This is one of the better off road videos I've seen yet. This is the kind of wheeling I grew up doing in the San Bernardino mountains. It's not about how big the rocks are, it's about getting out with the family and having fun. Also, respect for throwing the strap to a wheeler in trouble. I thought those days were gone too. I'm building my JK for exactly this type of wheeling. Your rig is set up nice
I did this trail in my 09 Rubicon when it was stock height and street tires. I made it somehow. But that was the day I decided to lift my jeep. American Fork Canyon is a fun place! I live in Sandy.
Gotta love Utah trails. Anywhere from MOAB to SLC offers amazing trails. I live in SLC and there are some awesome trails only 30 minutes away. God I love Utah.
Hi there, nine years later hope I catch you. Haha. Do you still live in Utah? I have been out here now for three years and I live in Draper. Absolutely love it. Where do you normally go off routing in the winter? I know there’s some trails in the west desert and what not, but anything close by draper that’s fun in the winter?
Did this trail when it was covered in ice with a layer of snow. Unfortunately Im not around to wheel it during a different season. Nice to actually see what it consists of.
Tj's had a 4.0L inline 6 @jarhead. Guy in the Tj needs to but some grab handles for the roll bars so his buddies don't put their hands out there like that. Huge no no! The jk is setup quite well although if I was going to be running over rocks like that I'd look into getting some dif guards. Crack one of those light duty covers and dump the fluid on the ground and ya won't be going far. Good video tho!
I did this trail with my jk, all I had to do was get rubicon rock sliders front and rear bumpers replaced with 1/2 steel plates I also have what used to be a 6" lift but its saggy and allows it to be I think a 2 1/2 inch lift on my jk, with 25's no fenders ect. it gets awsome flex with the saggy springs.
Thanks, the rear flares are bushwacker, I had trail mods with the removable flares. They were very flimsy, I loved the idea and they looked good, but could not hold up to the work I put them through. The rear flares broke off, so I put my older bushwacker flares on the rear, the trail mods, fronts were still good at that time... and so still on. I have since traded them all out. Take care.
Evo Built Baby! I got my gears done there. Wish i had the money to their suspension, tire carrier, dynatrac axles atx wheels n 40 inch nittos and everything else on mine 2. Only in my dreams.
These wheels are XD addict with 40 by 13.5 MTR, to run a tire that large you need to upgrade the axles and it sets off a whole chain of expensive modifications. If you have dana 45 axles stick to 35 inch tires, maybe 37 inch with gussets to strengthen the knuckles. The lift is Off Road Evolution, it works great, but is costly, I probably wouldn't spend that much money again. There are many good lifts for less money, mine is set at about 5 inches with the coil over shocks. Have fun, be safe!
@xGreatShadamehrx Smittybilt XRC front bumper, it is heavy, but strong and inexpensive. The Jack is a Hi Lift, from Hi Lift you can buy 'tube mounts' for the jack. They go around the front stinger and tighten in place. You should be able to find them at the Hi lift website. The bumper comes with a couple of predrilled holes to mount the lights, I just wired the lights to the factory foglight wires to use the factory on off switch.
@guntic1122 Full width Dana 60 axles are 3 inches wider...1.5 inches per side, I like the look and overall I think it helps stability offroad, but it sacrifices some turning radius/maneuverability in tight spaces and makes it harder for street legal tire coverage
@xGreatShadamehrx I have done the easy bolt on stuff, the axle swap and lift is off road evolution-work done by ultimate 4x4 in Orem Utah. Teraflex is also a great shop, they did the PSC ram assist steering, power steering fluid and Tranny coolers, Ricks muffler did the dynomax muffler and custom exhaust (I ran into Rick on the trail in this video in his gold/brown TJ) Thanks for watching
I live in Provo and can't wait for spring to go on this trail. I've never done it before but it looks really fun. What are some fun trails to do around here in the winter time. American Fork is closed during winter, right? Thanks.
It is up American Fork Canyon, you go East past Tibble Fork Resevoir. The Utah 4x4 Club usually has a yearly trip, or send me a post when it opens after the snow melt and I would be happy to take you up.
No, you don't want to go larger than a 35 on the stock door, even then you will need an extension bracket for clearance, don't go larger than 35 inches due to the weight on the door hinges
@crawlerutah where is this trail at, looks like alot of fun, love your jeep to man 2009 X RK 3.5 max flex 35x12.50 nitto trail grapplers 17x9 ATX slabs rubicon 44 axles from mopar PSC ever thing!!!!!!
hi W, i need some information about your wheels, tier, and suspension. (brand and size). im inspired your black rubicon.. I do not know much (good brand, good quality, size) please reply and tanks lol.
No, Dynatrac Pro Rock 60's, don't put anything bigger than 35-37 on dana 44's...mine started to bend the knuckles with the heavy toyo 37 MT on my earlier stock 44's

Nice Unlimited. This looks like a fun trail, beautiful views.

Love the JK (as I own one as well) but I am very impressed with the TJ, it handled that trail well. Great video!

that rubi gave me chills! beautiful rig man!
Nice video guys.. Looks like it was a good time. Keep the videos coming!

Sick video i love watching passenger side obstacles
cool video, camera guy did a great job...love the angles
Love the look of that JK. Hoping to have one like it one day =)
I want a Jeep... I can't afford one though... The scenery there is absolutely beautiful!
i must say, that is one bad ass jeep. Props
Both you guys have really nice jeeps
That's a cute trail. Come visit the Rube someday.
nice to see some green Utah trails.
I'll take the JK...but of course, I could be partial. :D
Great vid, guys!
Wonderful trip. I want to make it on a trial bike with a bunch of friends.
Great adventure! thanks for sharing!
awesome video awesome rigs
lol i enjoyed watching you guys driving over little rocks....mall crawlers
sweet vid, awesome jeep
Thanks for doing a decent video of offroading! Oh yeah!
Awesome job!
I have custom pro rock 60 axles with the 40 inch tires, king coil overs dialed up to about 6 inches of lift, I did some minor cutting for clearance
some sick ruts!

Love the exaust location and xrc bumper!! Awsome JK!
the tj makes me so happy :)
Cars go around rocks and that can be fun, my jeep looks for them, it is the same idea, just a different kind of fun.
jks are beasts i dont care what they say. good vid man

Good looking jeeps

they have been a good tire, taken a lot of abuse:) I think I am going to try the KM2 next just to compare.

wow, beautiful rig
That trail has quite a variety of obstacles.
Nice rig!
i had one for a while, got new steering linkage,alignment, replaces all the bushings, and then after that it finally went away
That is one awesome looking 4dr jeep.What size lift and tires are you runnung on that beast?

I am looking into getting a new rubicon and was wondering if yours transmission is manual or automatic? Love the videos. Thanks
@guntic1122 Full width Dana 60 axles are 3 inches wider...1.5 inches per side, I like the look and overall I think it helps stability offroad, but it sacrifices some turning radius/maneuverability in tight spaces and makes it harder for street legal tire coverage
what kind of axels do you have
thanks..........and love your jeep wish i had EVO on my jk
2006 jeep wrangler unlimited
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited
Can't wait to have this car!
Very awesome video. Keep up the good work! Do you have a build thread of your jeep anywhere?
@xGreatShadamehrx I have done the easy bolt on stuff, the axle swap and lift is off road evolution-work done by ultimate 4x4 in Orem Utah.

great job on the camerawork. the camera person must've walked the entire trail lol
Who makes your winch/bumper? i love how you have the jack on the front and the lights! thanks!
my 75 blazer loved this trail
I live in Provo and can't wait for spring to go on this trail. I've never done it before but it looks really fun. What are some fun trails to do around here in the winter time. American Fork is closed during winter, right? Thanks.
you should try the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's tires i love them on my rig...
It is up American Fork Canyon, you go East past Tibble Fork Resevoir. The Utah 4x4 Club usually has a yearly trip, or send me a post when it opens after the snow melt and I would be happy to take you up.
Ugh im soo jealous of that 4 door rubicon
Nice Jeep bud. What maker is your lift and what length is it? Also, what size tires are you running?
Thats what i figured, I have an 89 Yj without any spare bracket, i was just curious how you did yours!
That black JK looks unbreakable.
Nice video, what kind of sliders do you have?
Tires are Goodyear MTR 42 13.5 R17, Lift is Off Road Evolution, they have several options on their site
What exhaust do you have on the JKU in the beginning? it sounds good!
I dig those coilovers
I see that you guys ride with a spare tire and a winch. But do you also have a full chest of tools on board somewhere for the unexpected?
What's the elevation at the little lake? Beautiful country.
What is your setup on the 4-door? Suspension life and tire size?
I just ran into them on the trail, I think they didn't disconnect the sway bar... or they have no flex
@kyle140l Thanks, axels are Dynatrac Pro Rock 60's front and rear
dude Ive prob seen this video 50x - love the look! thanks for info on set-up, but what type of flares are those?
No, you don't want to go larger than a 35 on the stock door, even then you will need an extension bracket for clearance, don't go larger than 35 inches due to the weight on the door hinges
did you have to modify your spare tire holder? Or can the stock one actually hold a large tire like that
who did you have do all the upgrades(lift, installation of winch ect)? like your local jeep dealership or yourself or a shop?
had you damaged the exhaust on rocks previously and decided to move it to behind the rear bar?
do your kids love wheeling too?
@crawlerutah where is this trail at, looks like alot of fun, love your jeep to man
2009 X
RK 3.5 max flex
35x12.50 nitto trail grapplers
17x9 ATX slabs
rubicon 44 axles from mopar
PSC ever thing!!!!!!
9:04 makes me so happy
what kind of exhaust system is on the jk? it sounds awesome
40 inch tires on the stock 44s? WOW. How much lift?
are you running your stock dana 44s on the jeep with the 40 inch tires?
hi W, i need some information about your wheels, tier, and suspension. (brand and size). im inspired your black rubicon..
I do not know much (good brand, good quality, size)
please reply and tanks lol.
Rattlesnake is usually open and doable in the winter, otherwise I find it worth the drive to Moab or St. George.
No, Dynatrac Pro Rock 60's, don't put anything bigger than 35-37 on dana 44's...mine started to bend the knuckles with the heavy toyo 37 MT on my earlier stock 44's
I'm just wondering, is the jeep supposed to be that slow, or was the guy just driving it slow?
What kind of lift, suspension, and tires are you running?
@gulfrider727 Custom rerouted the exhaust lines to make room for my rear suspension, Dynomax muffler, thanks gulfrider
How do you like the Goodyear Kevlars?
are you still running stock axles on the 4 door rubicon?
Sounds like the 3.8L V6 minivan engine with a nice exhaust to me.
What tires are those on the rubicon and what size?
looks like fun
what tires are thoes that the new rubicon has??
