If there's just one word I could use to describe the 2nd day of the 2018 Nitto JL-Experience presented by KMC - I'd have to say EPIC!! After leaving our hotel in Laughlin, Nevada, we crossed over into Arizona, made our way to Bullhead City and then headed up into the foothills of the Black Mountains. After spending some time bombing our way through some crazy fun desert washes, we found ourselves on an old mining trail filled with big rocks and nasty obstacles and ones that would put all our JL Wranglers to the test. We also made a lunch stop in the historic town of Oatman before hitting the trail again to soak in a stunning desert sunset and then ended our day at an old mountain retreat, up in the Hualapai Mountains. Fortunately, the the rock crawling did allow us to get in a bit more filming from the outside but the constant need to be on the move and stay out of the way of the film crew, limited us as to what we could get. In other words, you'll get to see a lot of our JL and shots of anyone who might have been immediately around us. Needless to say, we apologize for not being able to get more footage of everyone else and we hope that you're still able to enjoy Episode 2 of REUNION, for what it is.
It should be noted that 3 of the 10 JL Wranglers in our group were running 40" Trail Grapplers and everyone except for us was either running King or Fox coilovers or shocks. In other words, we did all that you seen in this video with just a basic and pocket friendly, Rancho 3.5" lift.

I've rewatched this Wayalife Reunion Series of videos countless times that I can't possibly put a number on it. It's like watching your favorite movie over and over until you fall asleep dreaming you were one of the lucky ones joining you on these spectacular offroad canyon trails in Arizona. Please don't ever stop making these Reunion videos. Finally, Cindy's music selection perfectly complements the landscape and amazing sunsets.

[@wayalife]

We're flattered that you would say as much and glad to hear you enjoy our videos as much as you do. Thank you.

[@treysmith1]

I love that there are a bunch of 37's in this video. Been watching the WOL vids for 10 years, but just now live where I can get to the harder stuff & 37's are what I am running / plan to run for the foreseeable future. Great video as always, catching up on some stuff I have missed in the last few years.

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed this video and glad that you can get out there now and have fun of your own 👍

[@treysmith1]

@@wayalife Yeah, wheeling in GA was mostly dirt... lol

[@cowelk]

Wow! I just found this almost 4 years after. Great video and great driving Eddie and Cindy. I have a stock Wrangler and will never try what you guys did but I am living the dream through you.

[@wayalife]

LOL - happy to hear you enjoyed our video.

[@shawnpierce9748]

OMG !!!!! Had me on the edge of myself the whole time. Scraping, scratching, tipping and breaking. Was cringing clenching and holding my breath with 1 eye closed. Awesome awesome, thank you both for taking us along.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! So glad that we were able to capture the essence of what we experienced out on the trail.

[@MrJoshItIs]

That spotter! He is golden!

[@MrJoshItIs]

also nothing like a bit of elbow grease

[@LOVE-62]

I can’t believe after watching this video that more stuff does not break. Insane🤙🏻. Great video. Thank you

[@wayalife]

Glad you liked it!

[@stealtheli]

Okay! This trip might top the rest of all the videos you have done. All the old team again. All the rock crawling. Outstanding Eddie. You can put together video that does not make a person blink!. Thank you for sharing!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Truly flattered that we were able to keep you from blinking :)

[@xzerbaluyot9994]

After watching this video, I now feel like a mall crawler! Nice video Eddie!

Cindy has ice water in her veins!!! Great driving!!!! This video is bad to the bone! 💯💪👍

I felt so stress watching this one! Still was fun! Great video !!!

Chock up another stunning video, some tuff wheeling and fantastic views. Thanks again Ed and Cindy.

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed our video :)

[@Taino_Overland]

Great video. Good times with great friends. That’s what life is all about.

[@wayalife]

Oh so true :)

[@trailbrosn4lo96]

That was an awesome video. That corner at the 23 min mark is gnarly. I like watching all the teamwork to get everyone through the obstacles. Nice work again. Looking forward to the next vid!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@ANGLINARMY]

Stress Nasty, Good Lord! That trail was evil! Much props!

[@wayalife]

LOL - it was a tough one for sure.

[@MrSeshy]

Truly stunning Eddie - Also, hats off to Cindy for a dang fine job handling those trails!

[@GrandadBaz]

@@MatthewTafoya Auto trans is great for off road but it takes skill to get through obstacles like that. My hat's off to Cindy well done!

[@wayalife]

@ Terri Seshy No lie, Cindy really is one of the best drivers out there. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@wayalife]

@Silver Southpaw it's an inside joke of sorts. On KEEP IT TIGHT, our Rocky Mountain JKX adventure, Greg was there when Cindy winch/drives our JK which was a manual up a steep waterfall. She literally had to use every hand and feet to do it. Not something most can do.

[@wayalife]

@Barry Wilson Cindy and I grew up driving manuals and it is what we know best but the all new 8-speed auto is a much better transmission for sure. As you say, it still takes skill to get through an obstacle like that.

[@GrandadBaz]

@@wayalifeEddie I'm a Land Rover man having driven series Land Rover lightweights and Defenders, Discoveries and Classic Range Rovers with manual boxes (stick shift) but I'm getting soft in my old age I much prefer the auto. We had a series 3 lightweight with a Fairey Overdrive which worked in every gear which was my wife's daily driver for 4 years.

[@Matp345]

Why is there only 87k subscribers? Should be million by now. Watching these always make me feel better about a little trail damage

[@OnMyMemoryCard]

OMG! That trail was like juggling switchblades - you know you’re going to get cut, it just a matter of how deep. Loved it! Beautifully shot!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Now that's an awesome way of putting it!!

[@radcoolade1481]

Trail beat these jeeps up. Some of those lines my LJ would have rolled. Another awsome Trail conquered.

[@kevinellis5327]

Wow man that was just insane wheeling !!!! Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍

There are times it looks like the greatest fun and sometimes it looks like pure work

[@wayalife]

LOL!! I think it was the greatest fun because it was so much work. :)

[@fleetlive]

The JKS guy couldn't have said it better, YOU guys are the reason I am in this life! Also Greg can spot me anytime, I could feel the confidence from here. Great video guys!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! So glad to hear you share what JKS was saying. And yes, Greg it the guy you want to spot you in a tight spot.

[@inactive67]

Watching a bunch of your vids today Eddie watching Space X mate to the space station, thanks for sharing!!!!

Now I know why you guys have the shot of American Honey after a run, awesome video. Looking forward to part 3!!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Too funny. Working on 3 now but it may get delayed a bit due to the holidays.

[@rubicon_north675]

Wayalife if it's anything like your other vids...it will be worth the wait. Happy Holidays to you both!!

[@alexoffroad2660]

Wow out of all your videos this trail is just insane Looks like somewhere where nothing could survive Can’t even walk through the trail without Little cacti jumping up at you hahah

[@wayalife]

LOL - it's the real deal for sure.

[@jacobanderson8043]

Best Jeep vid on youtube, I would never run a trail like this on my Jeep because I like having it look new, but on my rzr it would be a nice trail. Thank you, and keep up the great work.

[@wayalife]

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

[@jackhook4192]

Awesome off roading great video as always my friends. There's nothing like a jeep period.

[@davymill6696]

That was insane! Great vid! So lucky to have some amazing people to help along the way. I loved when Eddie asked " whatcha thinkin'? "Mel (?), we're gonna end up down there!"" hahahaha! that was amazing!!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! So glad you had fun watching our video.

[@hole7612]

Another amazing video! My wife and I were just about to go to bed and then saw the notification for this. She looked at me and said “ see you in 35 minutes” great job you two!!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Thank you. Hope your wife was okay with you not coming to bed sooner :)

[@TheRamie]

A cindy sighting :-) good driving Cindy, and great video.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Oh yeah, Cindy is great with a camera and editing but she can definitely out wheel most guys I know.

[@greg1268]

@@wayalife Oh yeah, she can definitely out wheel anybody I know plus me! Its cool to see.

Nice to see Cindy behind the wheel, great video, beautiful views, big rocks, awesome driving skills on display, what more can I ask for.

[@wayalife]

So glad to hear we could satisfy all your wants in a video :)

[@Catch_The_Irishman]

Great informative channel. Personally I think your trail guides and spotters put you guys on a trail exceeding the modification and capabilities of the rigs that day. You all made it but at a cost that probably sucked the fun out of it for some. Great driving though! Keep up the good work!

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed the video. We all knew what we signed up for so we all had a good time.

[@TheHarley883r]

thanks for the reply . your one of the reasons i`m into Jeeps and the Jeeping lifestyle.. wish we could do the mods to our Jeeps in Australia the way you can there.. we cant even buy a JL yet,,, let alone a Rubicon and with all the access you have to all the after market parts and Jeep the community's , you have it soooo good ,,different tracks, different Riggs but we are all the same living the dream either way thanks Bro!!!

[@wayalife]

Well, we're so glad that we can share the same passion even if we're half a world away from each other.

[@TheHarley883r]

good to see your misses is doing some rough stuff other than filming great job, and Mel`s nearly roll over, awesome inspiring stuff Jeeping forever!!! more than just a way of life thanks bro...

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Oh yeah, Cindy loves to get behind the wheel when the trail gets really rough or when she can bomb across the desert. Definitely a wayalife :)

We use a heavy comb to remove cholla cactus and use a leatherman for the individual thorns. In either case you'll be shedding some blood. We also learned not to leave them stuck in your shoes because they'll sometimes get stuck in the bend of the knee on the back of the other leg as you walk and that has a real tendency to hurt......... Crazy run.

[@wayalife]

LOL - great idea!

[@harisbuza8862]

Wow, that was awesome. The best Jeep videos on KZbin ...

[@wayalife]

Thank you so much. We really do appreciate it :)

[@bobwampler3387]

Literally a battlefield, and with no prisoners taken! Badass for sure.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Yes, that is one way of putting it for sure :)

[@GhostPlaysGames]

This was awesome and nerve racking at the same time....I notice something different each time I watch this one...GREAT VID!!!!

[@Venumundo]

There are some very good points made in this video. Look at what Mel is running and do that, make sure you bring an extra pair of underwear incase of interesting angles, and possibly get a new low interest credit card. Good job Eddie, Cindy, Mel and the rest of you guys!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Thank you. We're glad we could share the fun we had with you.

I would be willing to try almost any line with Greg spotting for me! Awesome video!

[@foolspeedahead]

The lady at the CJDR dealer tried to sell me tire and wheel warranty for my JL citing the terrible condition of California’s roads. “What if you hit a pothole” I said “I’d feel bad for the pothole”. Watching that U-joint break reminded me of that conversation for some reason.

[@zer0mike285]

That was an absolute blast to watch. Looking forward to the next video.
