You guys always post the best videos. Great job of editing. There were a few Oh My moments that you captured perfect. A couple of Jeeps almost got in trouble on Hamburger hill.
Kane Creek looks like it has gotten more fun, or not depending on what you are riding in. The first time I did it was in 2005 on a quad. Love all the water crossings but if it's dry the dust can be a killer.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Awesome video!
Are 2 doors not a thing anymore? I don't think I have seen anyone wheeling the JL 2 door:hmm:
Another great video Eddie! Looks like an awesome trail, it was hard to watch that rear quarter panel get ruined.
Another fun day on the trail with good friends.
Do you think the bomber rockers will take a good hit like the EVO JK rockers?
I got stuck in a traffic jam at Hamburger Hill for over an hour because some dingus in a brand new JL didn’t want to scratch his undercarriage, so a lot of rock stacking and winching took place. It’s one of my favorite trails in Moab though.
It always cracks me up when I have guys swear by their tube fenders and give me crap about running trimmed factory ones on my JK. I try to explain how many times I've seen this kind of body damage occur and they all think I'm crazy. Just can't make this shit up.
Metal tube genders look cool but like you, I’ve seen body damage they can cause.
I was making my way through Body Snatcher in Moab a few weeks ago. First time through, didn’t take a great line, and pinched my fender against the rock a couple of times. I was happy to have plastic fenders. They got scratched up a bit, but returned to shape and there was no damage to the sheet metal. View attachment 325664

Are those the MCE fenders? I've always liked them as a nice alternative to trimmed factory fenders. Nice to hear they do a good job of not jacking up the body of your Jeep. :thumb:
Yes they are MCEs. They are great but rather expensive. I was fortunate to find some on CL for a song.

Yeah, not exactly the cheapest things. Biggest reason why I never went that route. Sounds like you found yourself a deal.

I witnessed that debacle happen, and indeed is impressive how the fender pops back into shape. I personally don't know though if the scrapes all over the fender is any more appealing than a rippled quarter panel. :twocents:
The fancy MCE fenders Greer has show the scrapes a bit. The factory black ones, scrapes blend in and are hard to see.
I have torn mine off before I scraped them so hard. You can't even tell now. All it took was a few new plastic clips.

Did that trail get harder the last year or two? Been prob 3 since I ran it but I remember maybe 2 obstacles worth looking at twice. Def looks way different than I remember.
I think all the trails are getting harder. A lot more guys out there with big tires and big horse power and not a whole lot of driving skill have been jacking things up.
