JEEP JL WRANGLER Off Road in MOAB : Gold Bar Rim & Golden Spike Trail - PART 1

[@jjscustomfabrications8234]

Man. I’ve been watching these videos for the past two days, randomly selecting them on their channel. They are all great! I’m not new to off roading, been living off the ‘main’ roads my whole life. I literally grew up driving off road. But where I am it’s different. I’m up in Northern Ontario, Canada. Completey different than the rock and desert terrain you guys are running in. That looks like a blast! I’m used to back woods, mud, log trails, log corduroy roads, swampy mucky messes... pulling more days than driving, hip deep in the mire..... I’m very glad you posted all these videos! I’m flat on my back right now, hope to be mobile again in the near future, but these videos are inspirational to me! Makes me want to get up and go buy a Jeep. I’ve been running trucks all my life. Never had a Jeep. But now, I want one more than ever! I have a truck build that’s been on hold for a few years now, but now I am thinking of selling the whole thing, and moving into a Jeep project. Anyway, from one small part of the off roading world to an other, thank you! All the best in your adventures. I look forward to more videos.

[@dawsonlane5099]

These are not only the best jeep videos on KZbin but the best videos period. I'm 18 and living the dream and planning to get a 4 door JLU after college (about 3 years from now). I love everything you guys are doing and hopefully one day in the future I can meet up with you guys for some trails and good times!

[@wayalife]

Thank you so much for that! We're truly flattered and it would be great to hit some trails with you in the future.

[@stealtheli]

Over the many years watching your videos. They never get old. Thanks Eddie.

[@wayalife]

We're flattered to hear you say as much, thank you :)

[@rahulrane1658]

The most refreshing of Moab videos I've watched. You made the trails so interesting with the right mix of commentary and filming. Also lovely rigs. Look forward to seeing more from you guys.

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we really do appreciate it :)

[@loganhughes8601]

I’m new to Jeep, but I just bought my Wrangler JL and watching your videos have really opened up what Jeep is really about. Great content man!

[@wayalife]

Congrats to you on your new JL!

[@JB-by8tw]

I don't even own a Jeep but I luv watching these videos!

[@wayalife]

Awesome, thanks!

[@williamarrowsmiith8380]

Wonderful video, great trail, terrific views and with the greatest off-road vehicle in HISTORY! Brilliant...

[@wayalife]

Than you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@hotwheels100]

Once again thank you for taking the time to shar. one day I'll make the pilgrimage over from Scotland to Utah and experience it for myself, Saddest thing is My wife's sister emigrated over to Salt Lake over 20 years ago but because of my work I never get time off to go ... Thanks again for sharing you may just of inspired me to change my Wayalife :)

[@wayalife]

If there is any way for you to make it out, I would highly recommend it.

[@IndianMC-jf3cp]

Jeeps really are amazing vehicles. The defy the laws of physics and mechanical design. Great video!

[@Maxdady01]

Golden Crack footage of what a Jeep can do was simply amazing! Thanks Wayalife. You guys do good work! :)

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@VentureAHighway]

Looks like a great trip, this is the type of stuff Jeeps were made for

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed watching our video :)

[@noodlefoo]

Good track, good vehicle, good company. That's a good way of life.

[@wayalife]

Indeed, it's a wayalife :)

[@laurarosekrug9062]

I've been eagerly awaiting this video for 2 weeks, thanks Eddie & Cindy!!

[@wayalife]

Well, I hope we didn't disappoint :)

[@laurarosekrug9062]

Wayalife No, you did not!..& I'm thrilled to see that it is "part 1", meaning there's more to come!

[@Diazjohn27]

Those hoodies look official, ima be buying one with my next paycheck. And a couple of days ago i ordered a firecracked JL, my biggest motivation for that purchase was this channel. Jeep should sponser you.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! If only Jeep knew we existed. Thank you for that though :)

[@WyattCraneum]

I did the "triple threat" this year at EJS and I have to say that you guys captured the look AND feel of the experience in video better than any I've seen yet! Believe me, I've been trying to find one.

[@MM-ld3rs]

always a pleasure catching new wayalife vids

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear it, thanks :)

[@chrissimmons6358]

beautiful scenery. best parts 13:35 to 14:20 The Golden Crack

[@bigbearcrouse2801]

I'm about to get my first Jeep...and I'm so excited to start getting into trail riding. While I know I'm a bit off from doing this kind of crawling, it's got my extremely hyped.

[@wayalife]

Awesome, I'm sure you'll love it :)

[@capt280]

Thanks, since getting my JL Rubicon I have watched all your videos. Can’t wait to get mine out on some trails. Looking forward to part 2

[@wayalife]

No kidding, thank you - we're so glad you've been enjoying them.

[@sheepdawg6946]

I love the quality of all your videos. Even though I am a classic fj40 or fj60 type of guy, you are representing the off-road community well. Thank you and I hope to meet you on the trail someday. I've seen you near Mammoth, on SR 395 before.

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we really do appreciate you saying as much and that would be great to meet you in person some day.

[@MikeBriggs24]

Absolutely love the vids. From the east coast living vicariously through your JL and looking forward to the next adventure!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad to hear it.

[@theninja001]

Looking at the 2 JL’s just confirms for me, I love the look of tall, skinny tires! 37x12.5 look awesome!

[@daewonkim3939]

The wrangler with black wheels, that's sick!

[@adam_gonzz]

First I would like to say. Ouch! When I heard the scratches, I was like wait wait... the bottom. Lol... Now I want to purchase a Jeep. The things it can do. Amazing! The best was the view of the mountains. Now that’s amazing.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! You will love a Jeep like this :)

[@knifetoucher]

15:20 this makes me glad I saved money and went for the cheaper plastic bumpers on my Rubi so now I can just replace them with actually good aftermarket ones.

[@1luckyleppy]

As usual another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RedRockCrawlers]

Oh yes! Moab is the promised land haha. You guys should let us know next time you head over there, We'd love any excuse to get out to Moab! Looks like fun.

[@wayalife]

Well, we're pretty much there every EJS :)

[@RedRockCrawlers]

Wayalife yeah us too. Maybe we'll link up one year

[@bobwampler3387]

So beautiful and awesome. Looks like great times! That stinger was genius.

[@wayalife]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@tango165]

Awesome video!!! Pro level!!! JET Li kicked ass!!!

[@wayalife]

LOL! Thank you :)

[@thecappy]

Started doing some research on the new JLU Rubicon, and found your channel. Instant subscribe, good stuff man, keep it coming.

[@wayalife]

Thank you! So glad to hear you like what you're seeing on our channel. Hoping to have part 2 of this series posted up this evening or tomorrow at the latest :)

[@angelrivera3568]

@19:13 Wow CLose call for ED that could have turned out really bad, great save! great Video!!!!!

[@pakkeong1809]

Impressed!looking forward for the part 2,tq

[@wayalife]

Thanks! We're working on it now :)

[@pakkeong1809]

Though the jeep price very expensive in my country,but the jeep worth it

[@nwatkins176]

We did the triple threat on Thursday of EJS in a two door. We tried the waterfall going up and it almost ended with a flop. The four doors crawled right up, all two doors had to take a winch including me. At some point either on that trail or cliffhanger on big Saturday we bent the spare tire pin on a rear LOD bumper. I think we need that hitch mounted stinger you got. Great video as always.

[@yj6009]

Great video as always, can't wait to see the next video in the series.

[@wayalife]

Thanks! Working on it now :)

[@souledoutrc8174]

Always enjoy watching your videos they are always awesome and it’s cool recognizing some of your friends from other videos from years past that’s super cool. All Jeeps really performed really well.

[@wayalife]

Awesome, thank you :)

[@akawazzupwitdat1543]

Very cool and awesome too see the jeeps in their elements👍

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear you liked what you saw :)

[@JayBowmanJeeper]

[@손정민-j3f]

Awesome thanks have a good time

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@jamestom2510]

Love the vid bro, but who in the world give a thumbs down to this stuff.... who are these trolls ? Are they jealous because they drive some other vehicle, are they landrover owners ??

[@fersanll]

A great video, as usual. Beautiful views, especially at minute 25:15 of the video. A big piece of meat! :) Seriously ... envy for not having Moab here in Spain. Congratulations! awesome video!

[@wayalife]

LOL! Thank you :)

[@lenniesjolin-nynas5155]

[@jasongolden8438]

Wish you lived closer. I recently purchased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I am wanting to lift it and run 35’s, well basically fix it up in about the same format as your Unlimited Rubicon

[@wayalife]

Congratulations to you!

[@dawnbigwarfe6871]

Your jeeps r amazing. Hopefully someday I will be able to take my wrangler sport on the trails for a first adventure! Mine is white too lol.

[@wayalife]

Thank you and I hope you can and soon :)

[@elevated2552]

Great video as always. Glad I didn't take my unlocked XJ on Golden Spike last week in Moab!

[@Hay-tn6hz]

Thank you for your videos. Fantastic content.

So glad to hear you enjoy our videos :)

[@wayalife]

[@teranitupfpv]

Great idea with the hitch stinger!

[@wayalife]

[@upwings]

Another great video!!

[@nitroxide17]

[@arjunr3096]

Super Super video

[@rickeyware6873]

My dream car !

[@martinbundy3771]

WE love Moab.....

[@henryi9738]

That was amazing, thank you so much ! :)

[@wayalife]

You're welcome. We're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@samaramferguson]

love the adventure that takes place with your 2018 JL Jeeps !!! My plans are to get a unlimited rubicon recon 4x4 and take on the adventure trails as well💯👍🏽

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@anthonyduran6637]

Cool vid I was able to see the wonderful Jeep cruise down the street but didn’t get a chance to see you but maybe next year🙏🏼😊

[@wayalife]

No kidding? I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet.

[@dawnbigwarfe6871]

Wow so beautiful

[@theninja001]

2:00 those fuel prices........smh.....I gotta get out of Commiefornia!

[@VentureAHighway]

gas prices have only gotten higher since then despite them being lower everywhere else in the country..

[@christopherl1990]

If you’re still monitoring this older video, I’m curious to know if you re-geared when you upgraded your 33s to 37s. Thanks and your videos are great. I’m going to bring my wife up to Last Chance Trail after watching your video.

[@wayalife]

Yes, we did regear to 5.13s. That said, 4.88 is a better fit for 37's. We eventually upgraded to 38's and that is a great fit for 5.13

[@ruckus1973]

Excellent!

[@wayalife]

Thanks!

[@khalidhasan8234]

looks like lots of fun.... one day

[@damien.devillian]

I started watching your videos when I was trying to decide if I should get the JL. Think I've seen most of them, but I still re-play them in the background just cos of your choice of music! (hint: include a soundtrack when possible?)

[@wayalife]

LOL!! We're so glad that you enjoy the music that we've used. Unfortunately, they are tracks that we bought the rights to and they don't have names per se - more rather, they just have descriptions.

[@damien.devillian]

Wayalife :D I had a feeling it wouldn't have been easy. But awesome videos - they made me realise there was more it than just the technical test-drives.... you buy into a culture. Will definitely head down to the dealers early next year when the JL becomes available in my country.

[@samchen7452]

This video so good.

[@lance4906]

No "sunny side up, all four on the floor" outro. I assume there's a part two. Great video man!

[@wayalife]

You assume correct that there are a FEW more parts coming :)

[@donniewhite3281]

Great vid per usual ...

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@henryoak2001]

Awesome, made a joke of that obstacle

[@alexkostenyuk]

I'm waiting when you'll take it to Colorado mountains :)

[@wayalife]

Definitely need to do that sooner than later :)

[@ambrose.little]

You have a snazzy logo. Pat your designer on the back. And thanks for the video.

[@wayalife]

LOL! Thank you

[@kkbodyshop]

Good video

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@brucekendall52]

Good video quality,thks.

[@hntgnut]

Nice, looks like lots of Fun. Did you change your gear ratio, I've seen some of your videos which are awesome and loaded with Tech Info,,,, Thanks. Hope to see you some Day in Moab..

[@wayalife]

Nope. Unlike our JK's before, so far, we've found that the new 8-speed automatic transmission to do a great job of pushing our 37's.

[@Marrrcarrrcos]

We did this trail this year but we started on the poisin spider trail and exited out gold bar rim

[@wayalife]

Triple Threat - that's how most people do it and it's what we did later on in the week.

[@rosedrum]

Great video!! It would be interesting to set up an experiment and try and reproduce the power loss issue. Then we could figure out for sure what is causing it, and what to avoid.

[@wayalife]

We've already done it. You just need to make sure that you're in Manual Shift and it won't happen. If you leave it in Drive, a rev limiter kicks in and causes the problem. It's very unnerving when it happens too.

[@rosedrum]

You guys are awesome! Thanks for figuring that out. I guess I better get into the habit of switching to manual.

[@truaxoffroad]

Is that Nemo? Great video!

[@albertusdrostable]

It's always a pleasure to see what these vehicles are capable of. But you people always make it so fperfect, it almost scares me! Perfect cars, perfect scenery, perfect music...How do you do that????

[@wayalife]

You're too kind, thank you.

[@freepatriot6313]

well...when you've got all the moves...you just can't lose....lol. Thanks for the great video compadre!

[@ColoradoDashCam]

If you leave Moab without any damage, you've done it wrong :) Awesome vid!

[@dave928]

seeing the two white JL's side-by-side was great. now i can't decide if i want body-color fenders or not. 🤔 thanks for confusing me!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! I think they look good both ways. You really can't go wrong with either.

[@bp30656]

Why didn't y'all show the whole video when you crossed golden crack? Awesome video, I like the painted fenders and black top

[@wayalife]

LOL! Mainly because we were stopping to take a lot of photos. Also, it'd be pretty slow and boring.

[@GennadyKotelnikov]

Super!!!

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@mobgma]

Good video!

[@wayalife]

We're so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@jerrybuza1580]

Start with love the videos and all the info. you supply. do you have a noticible decrease in proformance on and off the road with the 37" tires? Would you recomend changing the 4:10 gear ratio if to what?

[@wayalife]

Unlike the JK before, the 8-speed automatic transmission does GREAT pushing 37's. We've felt no need to regear.

[@jerrybuza1580]

thank you

[@capt280]

When Tony had the problem of losing power during the shift, was he in drive? If so do you think being in manual would have fixed the issue?

[@wayalife]

Yes, he was in drive and yes, the answer to this problem is to be in manual mode. You will see more of this in part 2.
