Geoff…….I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed watching this series, and I’m looking forward to the fourth one! It is THE definitive KZread collection for properly managing Hell’s Revenge and I’m sure countless people will benefit from watching this, I certainly have and will watch it again before heading west to Moab for the first time. First class effort, my friend.

I really appreciate the kind words, Jim. It really does mean a lot to me. You are right, I would rather be out on the trail wheeling instead of pumping out videos to become a KZread star. I don’t even care about that. I just do this for fun. If it isn’t fun then why do it? I just saw that nobody had a good trail guide video for Hell’s Revenge and if they did I probably wouldn’t even have made any of these. We have ran it so many times over the years and I had so much footage that I figured I would share some tips and tricks with our wheeling brethren to hopefully help them out and keep them from laying their rig on its side. Thanks again. I’ve received pretty good feedback about this which is awesome, but they are such a pain in the rear that I probably won’t do any more of these unless I get younger and more motivated to be a KZread celebrity 😂 Have fun on Elephant Hill!

Awesome! You will love it! My advice would be to rent a car in SLC and then rent a Jeep in Moab. They’re all lifted and have bigger tires for more driving excitement. Check out Barlowes or Twisted Jeeps. If you haven’t done wheeling like this before I would hit Fins N Things first a definitely Hell’s Revenge! Just watch my trail guide videos (there will be 5 when I’m done with it) and I show all the bypasses and places to be careful. Hell’s Revenge is the most iconic trail there and it is so awesome. It will light a fire in you that you haven’t experienced before. Hell’s Revenge has amazing views and it is just stunning. We’ve ran it almost every time we’ve been to Moab and that is 2 to 3 times a year for the last 7 years and it never gets old! How many days will you be there wheeling? I can give you some other great recommendations too.

Amazing stuff and video! You Jeepers are fearless! 👍✌

Hey man, these videos are AMAZING! The best offroad videos I have found on KZread as a WHOLE, not just for moab. I want to bring a little yj to moab on lockers, STOCK height, on some 29-31" tires on beadlocks is the plan. I know being low can make certain lines impossible, or make the driver have to be very... choosy- but do you think it would make many of these epic obstacles impossible? Or the trail itself? I think I saw a video where a bone stock kia did the whole route recently so I assume its pretty doable for a motivated and skilled driver.
