This was my first time playing around with some animated maps for the video! Hopefully you guys enjoy it!

[@thefamilyfun2023]

Your videos are just amazing! Thank you

[@papaandpepper]

Did this trail in 2020 in a stock 2019 4Runner TRD Offroad and was no issue. Fantastic trail.

[@BenStinnett]

It really is a great one! Glad you’ve gotten to do it Ryan!

[@agustinbarroso8781]

Cool new map feature 👍 That trail looked fun with fantastic views. Video saved for future trip.

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks man! The views from the trail were spectacular! 🙌

[@BriscoelabMN]

We did this trail a couple years ago in a JKU with 33’s. Ran it “backwards” from south to north and had no issues, despite all the guides saying to go the other direction due to the deep sand. It is very scenic and beautiful out there, plus little to no crowds. The only technical(ish) bits are at the beginning, when running the traditional direction, with the rocky climb and small ledges on descent. This is a great trail for beginners wanting to feel remote and do a low risk trail that can still feel exciting in a couple spots. Loved the video! Keep it up.

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks for watching, Kyle! I totally agree with your assessment. Great trail for getting a small taste of what Moab has to offer!

[@AmandaWoolsey]

What kind of lil pup is that? So cute!

[@Filmmaker1982]

We've done this trail in the summer and it was super hot. No surprise. Looks really nice in cooler weather. What size tires are you running? I have stock on my 2018 PRO.

[@andrewjarvis7777]

how is your dash footage camera mounted? it doesn't turn and bump around with the vehicle is it a gimbal of some kind or something?

[@jasonildefonso1326]

nice 4runner! whats the size and offset on those wheels! ?

[@Poncelopr]

Ouch!

[@BenStinnett]

😂😂😂 My thoughts exactly. lol

[@Poncelopr]

It hurt me hearing that 😂 but luv da vid brother 🤙🏼

[@BenStinnett]

@@Poncelopr haha you can say that again! Luckily the bumper took it like a champ. The powder coat didn’t even end up with a wear mark!

[@Poncelopr]

Glad to hear that nothing happened 👍🏼

[@AldapesExpress]

Hope most of your adventures are with your girlfriend!!! Makes it more of a show to watch and you don’t look so lonely lol.

[@BenStinnett]

Haha thanks Roy! You’re definitely right, I’m lucky she loves camping and puts up with me making videos 😂

[@PIZOtv]

I enjoy your videos man, I've learned a lot for my little adventure I'm starting to go on!

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@henrysalazar1130]

You’d do it in a stock 4Runner but what about a stock 3rd Gen Tacoma? Lol

[@BenStinnett]

Hey Henry! Yeah I’d probably send it 😂 but plan for it to take 3-4 hours to give you plenty of time to scout your lines through the obstacles. And hopefully you’ve got a good set of AT tires on at least. Good luck 🙌

[@OverlandPNW]

Wow great trail. Smart to get out before the storm came. Great scenery !

[@BenStinnett]

It really was a fun one! Nice to get away from the crowds in the rest of the park for sure 👍

[@gussta1]

Looks like a nice run and lots to look at. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work.

[@BenStinnett]

Thank you!

[@brandonc1288]

Just did this yesterday in my stock off road runner, awesome time!

[@BenStinnett]

Nice!! I need to get back out there!

[@pantherv8]

Hey Ben, Great videos man! What camera do you have?

[@BenStinnett]

Thank you! I use a sony a7iii and sony zv-1 for my videos!

[@NigelNaughton]

Great way to see the park. If I am not mistaken you can get to the park's NW side coming in from BLM road 145. I am sure you will still need the National Park Pass if you meet a ranger or something. I am thinking next time to exit the park through this road, continue NW past US Highway 191 and continue on BLM roads to the Green River. It's super nice on the remote sections overlooking the Green River. Rarely do you see anyone out there and you have the whole area to yourself....that's what I love about it.

[@BenStinnett]

Hey Nigel! Thanks so much for the tip! Noted down for my next trip out there!

[@BenStinnett]

Really appreciate it! I’m looking forward to checking out your adventures too!

Some people say it’s the best color! (🙋‍♂️ it’s me. Haha)

[@natepfaff5594]

I liked the maps. Google earth studio could also be worth checking out. I like how Channing is like your partner - adds a nice dimension.

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks man! I need to check out google earth studio!

[@esiriel]

my favorite National Park ! You're so lucky ! Now I have to go back there and off road :D :D

[@BenStinnett]

You should totally do it!

[@ghingisoverland6932]

Great vid! Is that a solar panel on the Ikamper? Will you be talking about that in an upcoming video?

[@BenStinnett]

Thank you! It is And I sure am. Have a solar video in the works now!

[@WayawayAdventures]

Oh man.. I can't wait to get back to Moab. Or anywhere! ha!

[@BenStinnett]

Haha I feel you there! I could literally spend two weeks every summer in Moab and never get tired of it!

[@theswitchbackco3914]

Awesome! I loved the map! Super cool! Thanks for another great video!

[@BenStinnett]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support as always!

[@trailrunnah8886]

Looks like a great trail, I'll add that to my list of stuff to do next time I get out there! Also, great looking 4Runner. Blue is my favorite color, I don't see a lot of them in blue.

[@BenStinnett]

The nautical blue is definitely my favorite, but I'm probably pretty biased. haha

[@trailrunnah8886]

@@BenStinnett blue is my favorite color, so I'd have went with too if I'd bought mine new and had a choice.

[@caifan444]

Great video Ben always and inspiration keep it up dude!!!!

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much man! I’m glad you liked this one!

[@Kasadev]

Is your 4Runner stock suspension ?

[@BenStinnett]

Nope, I upgraded to Kings with remote reservoirs.

[@derickangara9166]

Great video...Did you need full skid plates for this trail?

[@BenStinnett]

Hey Derick! Having full skids would certainly add some peace of mind here. I don’t have them though and made it through 👍 really only the rear bumper took any hits, and even that could be avoided with some rock stacking

[@derickangara9166]

@@BenStinnett Thanks bud! I currently have the stock bumper with a hitch tire-carrier....getting excited to go and worried at the same time...lol

[@collin7776]

@@derickangara9166 That was my first "off-roading" experience when I got my TRD Off-Road, all I changed were the tires (265 General Grabber) I took it slow and the only thing that happened was my trailer hitch rubbed a bit. Take it slow and will be fine.

[@davidr.1517]

Nice video as usual and good narrating. What tire pressure did you are down to this time?

[@BenStinnett]

Hey David! I went down to 18psi here! Thanks for watching 💯

[@davidr.1517]

@@BenStinnett Thanks, someone told me a long time ago that 18 psi is a good overall number. That was on my 1992 Toyota Pick up. Lol. Now I have a 2020 Tacoma and I put RCI rock sliders and last night just got my RCi full skids installed too. 🙂.

[@davidr.1517]

What I was getting at is I saw you scrape a couple times and yes I'm acting like a little kid with the new hardware for my truck that I know is important. Lol. 🙂
