More than just being the newest model Jeep, the best part about owning a JL Wrangler is the fact that its allowed us to start all over again. We get to install new lift kits, new wheels and tires and all kinds of new accessories but even better than that, we've been able to experience the thrill of wheeling a brand new Jeep, in a place like Moab and like it was our very first time. "IT STARTS AGAIN" is a WAYALIFE Epic Trex Adventure that highlights the all new pilgrimage we made out to the promised land in JET Li, our lightly modified Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. Along for the ride were our good friends Tony and Steph who came in their near identical JL Wrangler and Et and Michelle who came in their moderately modified JK Wrangler Unlimited. In this first episode of an ongoing series, you'll get to see us wheeling off road across the Gold Bar Rim and Golden Spike Trails and take on obstacles such as the Golden Crack, Golden Steps and Slide Rock. We hope you enjoy.
Man. I’ve been watching these videos for the past two days, randomly selecting them on their channel. They are all great! I’m not new to off roading, been living off the ‘main’ roads my whole life. I literally grew up driving off road. But where I am it’s different. I’m up in Northern Ontario, Canada. Completey different than the rock and desert terrain you guys are running in. That looks like a blast! I’m used to back woods, mud, log trails, log corduroy roads, swampy mucky messes... pulling more days than driving, hip deep in the mire.....
I’m very glad you posted all these videos! I’m flat on my back right now, hope to be mobile again in the near future, but these videos are inspirational to me! Makes me want to get up and go buy a Jeep. I’ve been running trucks all my life. Never had a Jeep. But now, I want one more than ever! I have a truck build that’s been on hold for a few years now, but now I am thinking of selling the whole thing, and moving into a Jeep project.
Anyway, from one small part of the off roading world to an other, thank you!
All the best in your adventures. I look forward to more videos.
These are not only the best jeep videos on RUclips but the best videos period. I'm 18 and living the dream and planning to get a 4 door JLU after college (about 3 years from now). I love everything you guys are doing and hopefully one day in the future I can meet up with you guys for some trails and good times!
Thank you so much for that! We're truly flattered and it would be great to hit some trails with you in the future.
Looks like a great trip, this is the type of stuff Jeeps were made for
Glad you enjoyed watching our video :)
Wonderful video, great trail, terrific views and with the greatest off-road vehicle in HISTORY! Brilliant...
Than you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)
The most refreshing of Moab videos I've watched.
You made the trails so interesting with the right mix of commentary and filming.
Also lovely rigs. Look forward to seeing more from you guys.
Thank you, we really do appreciate it :)
Jeeps really are amazing vehicles. The defy the laws of physics and mechanical design. Great video!
I’m new to Jeep, but I just bought my Wrangler JL and watching your videos have really opened up what Jeep is really about.
Great content man!
Congrats to you on your new JL!
Over the many years watching your videos. They never get old. Thanks Eddie.
We're flattered to hear you say as much, thank you :)
I don't even own a Jeep but I luv watching these videos!
Awesome, thanks!
beautiful scenery. best parts 13:35 to 14:20 The Golden Crack
Once again thank you for taking the time to shar. one day I'll make the pilgrimage over from Scotland to Utah and experience it for myself, Saddest thing is My wife's sister emigrated over to Salt Lake over 20 years ago but because of my work I never get time off to go ... Thanks again for sharing you may just of inspired me to change my Wayalife :)
If there is any way for you to make it out, I would highly recommend it.
Thanks, since getting my JL Rubicon I have watched all your videos. Can’t wait to get mine out on some trails. Looking forward to part 2
No kidding, thank you - we're so glad you've been enjoying them.
15:20 this makes me glad I saved money and went for the cheaper plastic bumpers on my Rubi so now I can just replace them with actually good aftermarket ones.
Golden Crack footage of what a Jeep can do was simply amazing! Thanks Wayalife. You guys do good work! :)
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)
I've been eagerly awaiting this video for 2 weeks, thanks Eddie & Cindy!!
Well, I hope we didn't disappoint :)
Wayalife No, you did not!..& I'm thrilled to see that it is "part 1", meaning there's more to come!
As usual another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)
great video - really enjoyed it. Some good useful info as well. Thank you
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it :)
I love the quality of all your videos. Even though I am a classic fj40 or fj60 type of guy, you are representing the off-road community well. Thank you and I hope to meet you on the trail someday. I've seen you near Mammoth, on SR 395 before.
Thank you, we really do appreciate you saying as much and that would be great to meet you in person some day.
We did the triple threat on Thursday of EJS in a two door. We tried the waterfall going up and it almost ended with a flop. The four doors crawled right up, all two doors had to take a winch including me. At some point either on that trail or cliffhanger on big Saturday we bent the spare tire pin on a rear LOD bumper. I think we need that hitch mounted stinger you got. Great video as always.
Good track, good vehicle, good company. That's a good way of life.
Indeed, it's a wayalife :)
@19:13 Wow CLose call for ED that could have turned out really bad, great save! great Video!!!!!
Absolutely love the vids. From the east coast living vicariously through your JL and looking forward to the next adventure!
Thank you, we're so glad to hear it.
Your jeeps r amazing. Hopefully someday I will be able to take my wrangler sport on the trails for a first adventure! Mine is white too lol.
Thank you and I hope you can and soon :)
Excellent. Thanks for sharing with us so soon after making it back. Wish I could have joined you.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and more is coming your way :)
I did the "triple threat" this year at EJS and I have to say that you guys captured the look AND feel of the experience in video better than any I've seen yet! Believe me, I've been trying to find one.
always a pleasure catching new wayalife vids
Glad to hear it, thanks :)
solid. That jeep is going to need a detail when you get home.
The wrangler with black wheels, that's sick!
that stinger is deff something I will be getting, glad I saw your video
Thanks! You can order our improved version of it here www.wayalife.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=PARTS-HITCH-STINGER
I'm about to get my first Jeep...and I'm so excited to start getting into trail riding. While I know I'm a bit off from doing this kind of crawling, it's got my extremely hyped.
Awesome, I'm sure you'll love it :)
Great video as always, can't wait to see the next video in the series.
Thanks! Working on it now :)
A great video, as usual.
Beautiful views, especially at minute 25:15 of the video. A big piece of meat! :)
Seriously ... envy for not having Moab here in Spain.
Congratulations! awesome video!
LOL! Thank you :)
First I would like to say. Ouch! When I heard the scratches, I was like wait wait... the bottom. Lol... Now I want to purchase a Jeep. The things it can do. Amazing! The best was the view of the mountains. Now that’s amazing.
LOL!! You will love a Jeep like this :)
Wish you lived closer. I recently purchased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I am wanting to lift it and run 35’s, well basically fix it up in about the same format as your Unlimited Rubicon
Congratulations to you!
Just seen ur vids for the first time. Well done. Subscribed. In the process right now getting me a 2018 rubicon recon jl.
Awesome, thanks!
Always enjoy watching your videos they are always awesome and it’s cool recognizing some of your friends from other videos from years past that’s super cool. All Jeeps really performed really well.
Awesome, thank you :)
Very cool and awesome too see the jeeps in their elements👍
Glad to hear you liked what you saw :)
Started doing some research on the new JLU Rubicon, and found your channel. Instant subscribe, good stuff man, keep it coming.
Thank you! So glad to hear you like what you're seeing on our channel. Hoping to have part 2 of this series posted up this evening or tomorrow at the latest :)
Impressed!looking forward for the part 2,tq
Thanks! We're working on it now :)
Though the jeep price very expensive in my country,but the jeep worth it
Oh yes! Moab is the promised land haha. You guys should let us know next time you head over there, We'd love any excuse to get out to Moab! Looks like fun.
Well, we're pretty much there every EJS :)
Wayalife yeah us too. Maybe we'll link up one year
Looking at the 2 JL’s just confirms for me, I love the look of tall, skinny tires! 37x12.5 look awesome!
So beautiful and awesome. Looks like great times! That stinger was genius.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Those hoodies look official, ima be buying one with my next paycheck. And a couple of days ago i ordered a firecracked JL, my biggest motivation for that purchase was this channel. Jeep should sponser you.
LOL!! If only Jeep knew we existed. Thank you for that though :)
Cool vid I was able to see the wonderful Jeep cruise down the street but didn’t get a chance to see you but maybe next year🙏🏼😊
No kidding? I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it, thanks!
As always, love watching your video's and wish that someday Ill be able to Join you guys on a little trip ;) Have fun with that new JL ! /Wave from Quebec !

So glad to hear you enjoy our videos :)
Awesome video!!! Pro level!!! JET Li kicked ass!!!
LOL! Thank you :)
You always create awesome videos. Jet Li!
Thank you, we really appreciate it.
Great adventure and great to see the latest JL's out there performing.
That stinger came in handy our there! Looking forward to seeing more of Moab,
since I haven't been out there in way too long...
Thank you and yes, you really do need to get out there.
Amazing experience, thank you for sharing!
You bet, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)
Really enjoyed going along for the ride with you guys (virtually of course) looking forward to seeing which rear bumper you choose.
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! I'll be there in 2 weeks!
Great video as always. Glad I didn't take my unlocked XJ on Golden Spike last week in Moab!
Great idea with the hitch stinger!
Yup, great to have if you choose to mount a spare on your tailgate.
Awesome thanks have a good time
Thank you :)
Looks like SOOOOO much fun!!!
Thanks, it really was :)
Great videos as always , great people... got to love the new JL!
Thank you :)
Awesome video, Rock crawling at its best!
Thank you :)
what is wrong with people who press the deslike bottom??? this is a great video!
Love the vid bro, but who in the world give a thumbs down to this stuff.... who are these trolls ? Are they jealous because they drive some other vehicle, are they landrover owners ??
Nice, looks like lots of Fun. Did you change your gear ratio, I've seen some of your videos which are awesome and loaded with Tech Info,,,, Thanks. Hope to see you some Day in Moab..
Nope. Unlike our JK's before, so far, we've found that the new 8-speed automatic transmission to do a great job of pushing our 37's.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
We did this trail this year but we started on the poisin spider trail and exited out gold bar rim
Triple Threat - that's how most people do it and it's what we did later on in the week.
Another great video!!
Thank you :)
If you’re still monitoring this older video, I’m curious to know if you re-geared when you upgraded your 33s to 37s. Thanks and your videos are great. I’m going to bring my wife up to Last Chance Trail after watching your video.
Yes, we did regear to 5.13s. That said, 4.88 is a better fit for 37's. We eventually upgraded to 38's and that is a great fit for 5.13
Great video once again!
Thank you :)
No "sunny side up, all four on the floor" outro. I assume there's a part two.
Great video man!
You assume correct that there are a FEW more parts coming :)
Great video!! It would be interesting to set up an experiment and try and reproduce the power loss issue. Then we could figure out for sure what is causing it, and what to avoid.
We've already done it. You just need to make sure that you're in Manual Shift and it won't happen. If you leave it in Drive, a rev limiter kicks in and causes the problem. It's very unnerving when it happens too.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for figuring that out. I guess I better get into the habit of switching to manual.
You have a snazzy logo. Pat your designer on the back.
And thanks for the video.
LOL! Thank you
Why didn't y'all show the whole video when you crossed golden crack? Awesome video, I like the painted fenders and black top
LOL! Mainly because we were stopping to take a lot of photos. Also, it'd be pretty slow and boring.
I started watching your videos when I was trying to decide if I should get the JL. Think I've seen most of them, but I still re-play them in the background just cos of your choice of music! (hint: include a soundtrack when possible?)
LOL!! We're so glad that you enjoy the music that we've used. Unfortunately, they are tracks that we bought the rights to and they don't have names per se - more rather, they just have descriptions.
Wayalife :D I had a feeling it wouldn't have been easy. But awesome videos - they made me realise there was more it than just the technical test-drives.... you buy into a culture. Will definitely head down to the dealers early next year when the JL becomes available in my country.
What a great ride. Really enjoyed this. I like the stinger you made that fits in the hitch. Homemade or available part? Read down below and didn't see an answer to that. Forgive me if I missed it. Still in the wait for my Jeep (Exactly as yours). Will order decals when it's in. Cheers Al
A friend of our made it and gave it to us as a gift. We know lots of people who've had one made at a metal working shop for cheap too.
I'm waiting when you'll take it to Colorado mountains :)
Definitely need to do that sooner than later :)
love the black rims
Good video quality,thks.
Love the video, was wondering if you guys air down at all? If so it hard to tell.
Great vid per usual ...
Thank you :)
That was amazing, thank you so much ! :)
You're welcome. We're so glad you enjoyed it :)
seeing the two white JL's side-by-side was great. now i can't decide if i want body-color fenders or not. 🤔 thanks for confusing me!
LOL!! I think they look good both ways. You really can't go wrong with either.
looks like lots of fun.... one day
Is that Nemo? Great video!
That looks like good fun.I don't think my rig with 33s would make it
It'd be a challenge but it can be done :)
Super Super video
New to your channel and enjoyed the video 😀👍🏾
Glad to hear it, thank you :)
Love the videos...sooo informative!! Are you running a suspension, or body lift? I'm assuming suspension..
Thanks!
Suspension lift is really the only thing you should run.
What happened to the lockers? Did they fail on the red rubicon?
Wow so beautiful
Thanks for the video.... i really enjoyed seeing the Moab scenery and the beautiful Jeeps. I cant wait to get back to Moab myself. Hopefully in a New JL. It will probably be stock though. Did you have the rear stinger made or buy it some where? I have bumper my rear spare a couple of times on the JK and fortunately never damaged the tailgate.
A friend of mine had it made at a local metal working shop and gave it to us as a gift. Apparently, it was pretty cheap to make.
Hi Eddie! Another great video! Have you changed gears for the 37's yet?
With 4.10 gears and the new 8-speed auto, we haven't felt a need for it the way we did on the JK.
When Tony had the problem of losing power during the shift, was he in drive? If so do you think being in manual would have fixed the issue?
Yes, he was in drive and yes, the answer to this problem is to be in manual mode. You will see more of this in part 2.
Another great video! Definitely living vicariously through you. Ordered my Punk'n Rubicon last week, checked the maps and it's only 29 hours drive from Toronto ;) In case I ever decide to do this, and since I'll likely never change from the stock 33's, how many of these trails would be accessible?
Are you kidding? You can do most of them no problem. Some will be harder than others but most have bypasses to the hardest stuff. Make sure you go with at least one other Jeep and you'll have a great time.
Awesome, made a joke of that obstacle
The red Rubicon looked like it has Currie axels in it. Why doesn't it have lockers?
Actually, it's running a factory rear axle and a Dynatrac ProRock 44 front axle. The rear locker wiring got pulled out of the plug due to the big droop his coil overs provide. Without the rear locker working, you can't get the front to turn on.
Nice film, just found your channel and buying my JLU new in end of September.
What modifications is needed to be done to have those tires?
You got a new subscriber from Sweden
You need to be running at least a 2.5" lift. Ideally, you'd also want to have the tires installed on wheels with 4.75" of back spacing or around there. Glad to hear you're enjoying our videos :)
Thank you!
Excellent!
Thanks!
