Wow, another great video Brad!! They keep getting better and better. And yes, a little more nerve racking I'm sure on some of those trails. Thanks for sharing, that was awesome!!

Epic series! The cinematography is awesome!

Loving this video series!

Great video Brad, Great trails and good times as always. Those hot tubs look knarly!

Dang! Another awesome video Brad! I could watch these all day and night. Makes me want to go try some of them myself. Totally agree with the decision NOT to do hell’s gate. Can’t wait for the rest! Thank you for taking us along on these trips and thank you for all your hard work and time editing and producing these videos!

Awesome Video! Looks like a Great Time! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for those super high quality videos. Incredible !!! Enjoy your trip ! Waiting for the next part of it ! 👍😉👍👍

Excellent vid! Challenging terrain and beautiful scenery.

Fins and Things is a great trail to run when first arriving in Moab to get acclimated to the slick rock feel. It's easy enough, but can also be challenging depending on how difficult you want to make some obstacles. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!

Amazing videos, thanks for sharing your adventure.

Thanks , good to see you are careful and worry about getting home in one piece.

Beautiful 4 wheel drive .Amazing

Great video production, thanks for taking us along!

Amazing footage, Thank you!

Beautiful views... Brad thank you for filming. I think that's as close as I want see it.

awesome bonding experience with Marco! and thanks for putting the GPS coordinates ... nice vid

I had such a wonderful time, Brad! Good Times!

Just subbed. Lots of stuff out there and I am very picky about who I follow on their adventures. You are one of only two that I have subscribed to. Really enjoy your approach to Jeep mods and camaraderie. I am new to Jeeps and overlanding but enjoying every minute!! I have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks

Glad you like tough trails tho!!

Beautiful video.

Awsome view, awsome trails and real cool filming the scenery .... wish there was a road from Europe to Moab.....

Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this, love watching it.

Looks like a Great Time!

Verry nice thanks for sharing.

Well it's about time!!! haha...thanks for this! ;-) Congratulations Ethan!

Awesome again Brad.. Think it's great that you put so much thought into safety on the trails and make decisions to avoid certain trails based on how your JK is equipped. Videos of JK disasters are so disheartening... I'm heading out there next year and cant wait..

Amazing !!

Nice vid brings back memories of doing Moab in a Zuk 20 years ago. Climbing hell’s gate was very sketchy, especially lifting a wheel about 6 foot near the top

Your videos are awesome! I love that you take your sons out with you! My dad is retiring soon and I’m getting ready to take him out on some of these trails!

Really enjoyed your video. Great job involving your kid

Epic indeed.

Hopefully I will be able to do this trail when I go to Easter Jeep Safari 2019!! Great video looks like you guys had fun!! Fins and Things is one of my staples every time I go to Moab I have to do that trail.

Keep the great content Brad!

Love this video! Cant blame you for not chancing it, I wouldn't!

When I get my dream Rubicon I will settle for the bypasses 🤭. Great filming ! Looks fun and the area looks beautiful!

Hells Revenge is awesome, I've done it with my Full size truck more then once. It's actually pretty easy. But, if you like mountain biking, just down the road is Slick Rock bike trail, it's epic fun, did it a couple months ago.

Thanks for the great video, Moab and Colorado are at the top of my bucket list.

Great video guys. I’m visiting Colorado end of September with a stop in Moab. Thanks for actually showing that Hells gate is optional and not part of the trail. So many videos show Hell’s gate as part of the trail. I’ll be in a Gladiator Rubicon with a 2 inch lift and 35’s. Looks like I should have no trouble doing the main trail. Many people I’ve chatted with state di Fins and Things first as a break in trail to Moab.

Smart to bypass those tougher obstacles with the rooftop tent. When I did that trail for the first time I thought the hardest part was actually the trail exit… Those steps were pretty huge! Thanks for sharing, great video. My wife wouldn’t stop laughing at the Tofurkey

what a tough looking trail, wow; looks like it would be a little gut dropping to lose sight right before topping some of those hill. I think I would be hanging my head out the window to look lol

Hell's Revenge is a blast. With bypasses for most major obstacles it's as hard as you want to make it. I ran it in my stock XJ a few years back and had no trouble, but would love to go back with my JK Rubicon and try some of the more difficult obstacles.

Great stuff Brad👍

It’s funny you mention a front camera for hills. Just ordered the stuff to install a 4 camera system on mine. Planning front rear passenger front tire view and behind front axle looking forward

The pause at 14:52 from brad was priceless....like it was a joke that Marco was just making sandwiches..! Lol

I've done Hell's Gate several times and its exciting every time. I like that you mention the extra weight on the top of the vehicle making it questionable. It's something I haven't thought of before. I also like that you comfortable opted out of doing it. I know a lot of people that let their "egos" get in the way of making the smarter decision and end up doing things they later regret.

Nice video, great shots and great quality and editing. Not going to lie, I am disappointed you went on one of the most iconic trails, with some of the most iconic obstacles, in a built Jeep, and then take every bypass. I can understand the mantra “drive to wheel another day” but you showed how valuable the winch could be. You would have made Hells gate and tip over challenge no problem. I get not doing the tubs and Escalator. Regardless, I am looking forward to the next video in this series.

Our goal from the start of this trip was to have an awesome week long adventure and still be able to drive home... mission accomplished. We discussed in the beginning that we were not going to tackling every difficult obstacle we came across. We'll be back to Moab again soon.

Could you do a falcon shock review, and how they compare to a coilover setup. I'm sure they're both awesome but one has to be better.

Just owsome beautiful

thats awesome man, how do you like the newer jeep engines vs. the old straight inline engine?

Oh man, I would have loved to have checked it out, but some things are better left along for the general public.

I know you could have done Hells Gate. I do appreciate airing on the side of caution, but I have pretty similar build (RTT, two weeks of gear, two dogs, all in all 6500 lbs of jeep) and walked up without an issue. Escalator was a different story though. Look forward to the rest of the videos in this series.

@@TrailRecon I have to weigh in tomorrow before my PCS. We will see what I weigh now with a dynatrac axle and 37" tires. 6500 lbs was heavier than i wanted to be, but that was with us and the dogs in it. What does Marco weigh in at? I'm thinking i have a lot of extra weight in the wheel, tire, and armor dept. than Marco, so no surprise there. That's probably why I destroyed the rear bearing when I got in the middle of escalator. I can't wait to go back without my RTT and extra gear as well.
