I was running Kane last year in Moab and someone in our group broke a cv. While we were fixing it, these guys came through. What a treat! I noticed 2 things. First, the way they bang their bumpers into rocks, instantly stopping, would cause my head to fall off. And the second thing, they don't appear to use spotters.

I like the part of your story where a CV broke and the old Jeeps (with no CV's) came through. 😁

Nice. I have been on that trail a few times and have seen many modified rigs that couldn't make the grade.

i luv to watch these guys doing the same stuff i did 40 years ago in the same type of trails before the internet. now days i am in an F Toy buggy on 42's. back then i helped build a place in Johnson valley called the hammer trails in a M38 with the victor valley 4 wheelers (life member). in the 30 years i owned it i wheeled it in 40 states. i'm well aware of the talent it takes to run that trail. back in the day it took 12 hours to do .8 tenths of a mile on sledgehammer with no breakdowns

craig donalson Took us about 10 hours, but we drove out. Thanks for watching.

That is one tough trail with purpose built rigs. And it's even cooler to see these 3 Jeeps do it.

All this with a go devil 4 cylinder new jeeps world turn and run home its good exercise That they are needing and not collecting dust sitting and I enjoy hearing them work Great video thanks for posting 👍

It’s so cool to see these flat fender jeeps just slowly crawl their way over everything

Neat video, nice to see Jeeps used as Jeeps. Stay safe guys.✌

Original gangsters of four-wheeling. 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏼

That trail realy gave the rigs a work out, I recon even the buggies would be jealous, great video, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones

Zoe XJ Pulled the windshield for this trail. I knew I would be banging up against some rocks and that front corner hangs out there and grabs stuff. Bam Bam has always had some sort of lockers. Jeff doesn’t always engage them. He likes to see what he can do open sometimes,

love it! The original rock crawlers!!

This makes me happy! Love the video and that is beautiful country!

That was awesome! Would like to do it in my samurai some day. 👍

This is what is called, Old is Gold.

That was a beat down.. but those jeeps just take it.. very nice...

That looks amazing!

Great videos Stan Fuller :) keep it up.

Great Off road.

They just beet the absolute crap outa these things and they just keep goin ...amazing i tell ya

Most amazing....

New York plates on one of them?

Your jeeps took a beating, Holy cow.

Pretty cool. They all seem to have lockers front and rear. Is the first guy even in low range? He seems to be going soooo much faster. My 41' went slower than that with 4.88's. Also the stock steering boxes are the first thing to fail. Looks like one has been changed to power steering, that's the way to go.

Stan, how much PSI is in your tires/ air down too while on rocks.?

@Grampas-jeep

9 PSI off road

That's a nasty looking trail. I'm guessing whatever Bam-bam was leaking at 15:15 wasn't anything too important?

Is there any advantage to those tires?

It seems sad to beat up these antiques? Are there parts, sheet metal, ball joints still being manufactured?

Excellent..🛻

They don’t make them like that anymore

@Grampas-jeep

Well, one can stick to the bunny trails or shopping malls and maybe avoid damage, or one can challenge themself and their machine by taking on the hard stuff. You don’t go on a trail like Carnage Canyon thinking you’re going to come out without at least some body damage. Just about everything is fixable so I say go for it. It’s just metal and paint.
