We have been planning this trip to Utah and Colorado for several month and in this video I show you a brief look at some of the vehicle preparation we did and then my son, a few friends and I travel to Moab, UT to tackle the Top of the World trail. The off-roading in Moab is a amazing and this was a great trail to kick off this trip. #jeepwrangler #offroad #topoftheworld

Great video and especially the editing. Really professional quality! It's been way too many years since I was in Moab last, I have got to go back there soon...phew! The first thing to learn at Moab for newbies there, is how to do the Moab Bump! You bump up over the step-stairs with a little momentum; just bump the step with your front wheels while keeping it rolling. It works!

If you ever wonder why am I spending all this money on a Jeep, this video explains it. One of you best vids ever Brad. Can't wait for the next episode.

@ChasWG 6 жыл бұрын

This statement is so very true! I have the same reaction to spending money on our XJ rig. You need a vehicle like this to be able to explore some of these places. Without a properly prepared rig, you just are going to be able to experience these place or have this sort of fun. Last week I took some of my family who live in Philadelphia and Chicago on a small, very easy trail(green) trail here in CO. I told them to rent a Jeep JK or a Toyota 4Runner. Of course they didn't. They got some sort of bigger Kia SUV. "Its a 4x4." No, no it wasn't. It was an AWD with a locking center diff with road tires. But with some slow, careful driving the Kia should have been able to make it. Somewhere around 10K ft, and not anywhere near our final destination, they wanted to stop and call it good. I was pissed. We were so close to this beautiful high alpine lake with the glacier that feeds it directly above the lake. A spot our father used to take us all as kids. Off course our XJ wasn't even troubled by any of this and I moved as many of them as I could into the XJ because the ride was smoother and more secure. But my brother-in-law didn't want me to drive his rental. So in the end we stopped at some wide spot in the road and had lunch. Not as cool as getting to the top and eating lunch by the first lake on the trail. Yeah, that's why I spend money on my Jeep. No regrets.
