My Jeep is down for a few weeks and this was on the plan to edit as not everyone has a lot of time (myself especially). I wasn’t going to do it as a shorts segment as I film horizontally... but it’s an idea, thanks!

I remember this and Longwater Gulch as some of my favorite trails. Did solo rig with a buddy of mine on our way to Moab from the Midwest. Camped at the river (2003) and then crossed the next morning. It was about as deep as I'd like to cross (almost to headlights in May) but went through just fine. Just had to extract the seat cushion from my bottom when back on dry land. Moguls etc. were awesome. Funny thing, I disconnected my sway bar before this trail and ended up ripping my CV boot because I didn't secure the links! Had to fix in Moab.... Once again, great content! Lighting the off-road fire in my soul again!

Thanks buddy! Yeah, I don’t blame anyone for crossing (if they truly don’t know) as there isn’t any signs and it’s part of the actual trail. I personally think it’s the anti-OHV group pulling the signs so they can use that against us. That may just be me hoping it’s them and not our own people. We really just need the loop restored as a directional loop as this would decrease the environmental impact while still bringing in money to both Teller and Park Counties. Thanks for watching!

It definitely does! You’ll like the one I’m finishing up now (it’ll be available later today) as I think the Cherokee may have had the easiest time (renegades, wranglers, and Cherokees all participated). I’ve also driven Sean’s KL (the grey one) and really liked it! It smooths out the trail nicely! I have one coming where the Cherokee didn’t make one tiny part and the wranglers did, but I think Zach (black KL 3in lift) would have made it and Sean (2in lift currently) was really close. We’ll likely come back and try it again later. Thanks for watching and enjoy that Cherokee!

Wow another awesome video for Part 2! I always have so much to say after watching one of these and I feel like I forget half of what I wanted to say by the end 😭 First off I loved all the camera angles, noticed you using your phone at one point but overall the camera quality was soo good even on the phone footage! Also was noticing the suspension especially on the trail guide’s van and it was really putting in the work. You always mention the vehicles as incredible machines, and you’re absolutely right! And then there were all the tough spots where I’m almost certain you guys might have gotten some gnarly scrapes. I hope that it didn’t cause too much damage if any 😭 In terms of feedback on improving, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s not something I usually find myself watching but you definitely make it interesting and I always learn something new. The guide itself I’m sure comes in extremely handy for those looking at trying the trail. Keep it up and I’m definitely looking forward to part 3 🙌🏻

The GoPros are great, but I feel like I’m getting better footage from the phone. Still, once money isn’t tight anymore, I’ll look for a dedicated video camera... it’s just finding the right specs for a portable off roading camera is tough. No damage to any of the Jeeps... we have skid plates and rock rails. They’re also designed to take the bumps experienced. Now if I wheeled it with a lot of throttle into the rock obstacle, that could be a problem. Thanks so much for the feedback and support!

Nick’s Tacoma is in a lot of my GoPro footage as day 1 is where I filmed my trail footage and he was in front of me a lot. I had GoPro footage of Sean from that day (he was behind me) but didn’t use it. Plus my GoPro footage wasn’t very good anyway as I didn’t have a polarizer then. Sean and I just know how to film together, but we do have the Android to iPhone sharing issues. However, I do appreciate the feedback and insight! Also, come wheel with us!
