San Rafael Swell - Black Dragon, Wedge Overlook, Eva Conover, Eagle Canyon - EcoDiesel JT, 4XE JL

The EPIC Team heads down to Utah for the first time in 3 years. Instead of Moab, we're headed to the lesser-known, but very impressive San Rafael Swell. In this episode, we check out Black Dragon Canyon, the Wedge Overlook (Little Grand Canyon), Eva Conover Trail, Eagle Canyon/Arch and the IceBox.
Our team travels in Teraflex-Equipped Jeeps, including KHAN the EcoDiesel Gladiator and a new 2022 4XE Rubicon. Shaun from ‪@TheStoryTillNow‬ joined us in his 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch.

The camaraderie and good-natured humor of the guys make these worth watching. Great job.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks Carlos! We have a really great team of people... like 10+ years we've been together.

That was EPIC.. Its been a lot of years since I was last in Utah.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thank you sir! Cheers!

I miss that camp site!

Great job! What a fun trip! The views are spectacular! Thank you!

They had to have filmed some western movies and tv shows in that area. It's spectacular. You did a great job of capturing it.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks! It's hard to show the sheer scale of that place!

[@Kevin_604]

Awesome video, looks like an amazing trip. I would love to do a trip like this one day in my JL.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Well when you do... hit us up for some expedition routes/ideas!

Awesome video. Definitely inspiring us to get out more in our JL

[@EPIC-4WD]

Aweesome! Glad we could inspire you with our adventure antics ;-)

[@petrmeta8862]

beautifully offroad 👍👍

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks! It was a special place for sure!

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Yes sir I hear that diesel...freedom at $6 per gallon😳 Be very interested in some feedback on the 4xe. We own one, haven't had it on an epic trip yet🤭 4xe review would be very cool

[@EPIC-4WD]

We're working on a 4XE review, based on the Jeep in this video. It did well, but there's certainly some considerations when doing a long-haul, remote trip like this with it.

[@billwaterhouse5894]

If figured it would be, very interested in the upcoming review. My wife and I are taking the PW on this year's trip but planning a CO/UT trip next year, towing a camper with the 4xe 🤔

[@billwaterhouse5894]

PS from SC...

[@chevycoloradoinalaska7018]

Awesome video!

[@JohnSmith-bq7gz]

I’m trying to figure out why your guys videos are so much better than all the rest. I came up with the fact that you guys look like your having the time of your lives and all the others make it look like a job.

[@EPIC-4WD]

We are all having the time of our lives! Living the Dream! Thanks for following along... we sincerely appreciate it.

[@lorellhathcock]

We have been running those trails in the last year too with LP3W and friends. Glad to see the area get some exposure on KZbin. We've run it with a variety of Jeeps but most have been lifted. Come to think of it, we ran Black Dragon Canyon in a stock JLU in October 2020 and had to take a bypass or two.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, it's a nice change from Moab and the views are excellent.

[@lorellhathcock]

errrr LP4W*

[@Kevin90909]

Well done.

Thanks Kevin! Cheers!

Poor Ginger! No Starbucks in Death Valley, No Starbucks in Utah! Has he gotten a complex yet that maybe there's a conspiracy against him and Starbucks in the States?!?! What a cool place and the group you have is obviously very tuned into each other!! Can't wait for part 2.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for following along! Yes, the Ginger's Starbucks fetish is wearing thin. And yes, our team has been adventuring together for over 10 years, so we are a finely tuned machine!

[@skdemars]

Awesome vid! I'll be headed to the Swell for a trip this fall so thanks for helping narrow down some great destinations. But wait - where's fluffy?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, there's some must-see areas. Give us a call when you're doing your planning and we'll provide some input. As for Fluffy - you'll have to wait and see ;-)

[@exoplanetnomad]

Sean sees a flying dinosaurs 🦕 in the distance eh?!!! I’ve been wondering about that charlatan ever since he’s been riding that Bronco!!! 😆😆🦕🦕🦕

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, he's crazy like that ;-)

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

I just did the swell starting from the Wedge Lookout. Which way did you start from?

[@cardp17]

great video! heading up to the area this week. any chance you could share the gps route? thanks

[@Casey250]

Apple maps... no wonder you didn't find Starbucks.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Ha Ha!... who uses Apple Maps anyways?

[@user-qf4nt9uc1w]

Can you give a few more details about your rig please? Tire size, lift, anything extra, etc. Thanks

[@M5tworude]

I live 1.5 hours from there and I just bought a JL Rubicon, good times are coming. Oh, but Starbucks? I make better!

[@turndroid234]

I thought the US/ Canada border was closed to essential personnel only? I tried heading towards Alaska via Canada and I was turned away.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Gotta be vaccinated to cross the border still. Otherwise, the border is wide open! Woot!

[@GhostRiderADV]

I think it was all green screen lol 😆 😂

[@EPIC-4WD]

Ssssssshhhhhhhhhh!

i want an EPIC outfitters decal for my cooler fridge if you have them...?

Have you guys ever done a video going over the Kong build?

Yep, it's on our KZbin channel!
