We used to do it with 31's open/open and had no issues. When i would take a new group to Moab this would be the first trail i would take them on so they can gain confidence in how their jeep can climb and decend on the slick rock.

Another great informative trail video. This is the 2nd video I've watched of yours and I haven't seen the wife driving any of the trails. When I first introduced my wife to off-road trails and some of the pretty awesome things the Jeep is capable of, I had her drive a great deal. I'm a bit better at spotting, so it worked well. Now she's hooked and I have to plead with her to let me get behind the wheel sometimes. Great video. Thanks.

I (wife) rarely drive the intense stuff. I’d rather film and spot. There’s one more useful video on Potash Road and Shafer trails. It’s not the hardest trail but it was our favorite due to the amazing views you’ll get.

40psi on road is pretty high for on road and 15 would work well off road. You won’t have any issues doing so. Enjoy and be safe

Thanks for the video, I think this will be very helpful to my son and I. We live in Texas but I grew up wheeling in Louisiana. Mud is the game there. I’ve never done rocks and Fins and Things seems like it would be a lot of fun without being crazy enough to break anything.

Yes, it’s a good intro trail as long as your not too long (a wrangler will do better than a gladiator) and have some lift. I think without a lift you might get a little scratched up. We haven’t hit a lot of trails with mud but I imagine that will change when we travel out east.

Very informative. TY :-) Your 9 yr old did great.

It was fun. It got a little crazy later in the day doing Hells Revenge. Didn’t really know what we were getting into with that one.

@@RVHomeschool yes, Hell’s Revenge is a little more challenging! Keep up the great work!

Doesn't look like you guys went through the entire trail. The other half of the trail is across the main dirt road. Glad you guys had fun

You are correct. We were trying to hit up Hells Revenge on the same day before we lost our light. And we ran into some problems over there so it’s good we kept Fins short.

Nice video with a lot of info for the the first timer. Looks like you all had a blast. If I can mention one thing. I could not tell but it looked like you did not have the front sway bar disconnected. Did you? If not that would make a big difference in the ride and handling. Would allow the front axle to articulate without resistance and give better traction and ride and not whip the passengers back and forth as much when going over uneven obstacles.

Honestly, I don’t even know how to do that. Perhaps my husband does? Thank you for the advice.

They look to have a sport, unless they have added quick disconnects which it seems they haven’t then no sway bar disconnecting

You do not need quick disconnects, all though it does make it easier. You can unbolt the links from the axles and tie them up out of the way. Then reattach when ready to get back on the road.

Fun trail! Did you guys do any other trails in Moab?

Yes, we did Hells Revenge. Probably not a good idea to make that our second Badge of Honor trail ever. 😯

I am doing this in May. On the last obstacle, was that the steepest option or one of the others and did you have your sway bar disconnected? Thanks!

@RVHomeschool

On the last obstacle there are three descents. We felt we did the least steep. We did not have our sway bar disconnected. Our biggest issue was the tires slipping on the rock because the incline is so great.

Were you able to get the Badge of Honor badge even though you did half the trail?

Yep. I didn’t realize until later we didn’t do the whole trail. I had already checked into the app at the trail head.

What time of year did you go?

We were just there the week before Memorial Day. So, like May 17 or 18th.

Since you did the southern portion and not both the southern and northern portions, we're you still able to get the Jeep badge of honor?

We didn’t realize there were two portions. We started where we first saw the Fins sign and logged into the Badge of Honor app. It wasn’t until later we learned there was a northern area.

How is this trail for a raptor

Do you mean the Ford truck? It’s really going to get scratched up and bottom out. The trail is made for really short vehicles, and as a 4-door Wrangler we almost ran into some issues. Much longer and we definitely would have been scrapping up the back (or breaking something).
