There is a scene where we're walking up one of the arches and you can hear me fart quite loudly.... lol

Good music and great adventures can't ask for more. Thanks Jason for taking us along.

Back in 2017, we ran 5 fullsize trucks (an 2002 Dodge Cummins, 2005 Dodge Cummins w/popup camper, 2016 RAM Power Wagon, 1991 K5 Blazer and my 1978 K10 w/popup camper) over the Devil's Racetrack, although we ran it the opposite direction. Then we took Eva Conover trail out back to I-70 the next day and deeper into the swell South of I-70 for the rest of the week. The Devil's Racetrack definitely keeps your attention for sure. The spot where you whacked the rear bumper is much more challenging to crawl up. There weren't any tree stumps stacked up at that time but there was a baby cow sleeping under a tree right there that kept a watchful eye over all of us as we crawled by lol. A couple of the trucks needed a winch tug up that wall. Fun trail!

Interesting... I was just thinking perhaps it would be easier going the opposite direction. Honestly, if I hadn't been rusty, in a new truck and had a spotter, I likely could have managed that decent in a much more controlled fashion, like I prefer to do... nice and slow... but when I started to tip to the driver, I panicked and let go of the braking to let gravity pull me down, rolling on the tires, not on the axis. Obviously the result was a dramatic bang on the bar work.

Hey man, cool video your kids will remember that forever! we live not too far from there just over the border in Colorado and we are always in the high desert and in the mountains, camping and riding four wheelers. I love the truck. That is my dream truck. Congrats on the purchase. 👍🏼

Cool truck, cool trail, great editing, awesome video.

That is a great trail. I took 10 rigs through there last summer, had a blast.

Great job Jason and fam. Hope you continue to make videos. It was awesome to get to talk to you at overland expo west at the aev area.

It was spicy. We made it a ways in and camped at a pretty cool spot. Had the goal of making it up to the wedge the next day and realized that wasn’t going to happen given our rate of travel. We thankfully turned around and went back up the east side to the wedge and had a great rest of the trip :)

Hi Jason that was fun. No contradiction at all...understood exactly what you meant by that. I also learned something today...not to take that trail with my powerwagon (on 35's), with the trailer 😜.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/l62fz9qcp92feps.html - ahh seems like yesterday. Power Wagon no issue. With trailer too, no. I is not a real rewarding trail IMHO and after being on it twice. Junipers get tight with a FWC in the bed too as I remember. Regardless, if you're going to due trails like this in the So. Ut area, I'd have some sliders and rear corner protection on a PW regardless of tire size, and be prepared to wack your front radius arms. Just make them planned as much as possible.

What tire pressure do you run while off road in the AEV? Its a heavy truck. How are those Cooper tires do off road?

Kool family time 👍

Just think back how far you have come (literally) since that little kiss on the rear corner in the 4runner back here in Georgia all those years ago... Maybe that should be on your calendar- to redo some of those first trips in the AEV? Having a Power Wagon myself, it's very interesting to see some of the bigger rigs handling obstacles, especially in the east where trails don't always have those epic views and are a bit tighter.

SxS's are almost cheating! haha. They're so much fun. I'd like to do some serious trails in one that's running some large tires and has a lot of flex some day. Would be fun to walk over things that are otherwise super tricky.

Actually pretty cool kids, very rare on KZread.

great video. love the truck. but drop the music. the Cummins makes it's own music

Hey Jason, did you have the sway bar disconnected? It didn't seem to have as much flex as I have. Might of just been camera angle.

No. It’s on and connected. I didn’t have a rear sway bar on my white truck. Definitely not as much flex on the new one.

i have a question about your Aev’s suspensions. What are the chances to lower them so it sits lower near the fenders?

@SwellRunner

5 ай бұрын

Do you mean lower as in a lower ride height? Or like with airbags or something? Crazy enough - the suspension lift is only 3 inches. The rest of the ground clearance comes from the larger tires. The fender cut to accommodate larger fenders allow the 40’s to clear.

@@SwellRunner i am located in Canada where there is no AEV distributor in my area. I am thinking of ordering the xl parts with highmark fender flares, but to go with 37 tires as it’s easier to find more tire options, but I wish it could sit a bit lower. As I think the stance looks better. lol
