Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2010 Moab Rim Trail in a Willys Jeep
Easter Jeep Safari 2010. Taking my Willys MB on the Moab Rim Trail. I did this last year with my JK so I let my buddy the "Troublemaker" from Illinois have a little fun. Only the V8 engined Jeeps made it to the top of the Sand Dune at max throttle. The MB did it at half power!! Go to www.jeepingoffroad.com for the Willys build up and more Jeeping adventures.
Jeeping the Rubicon Trail - A 4X4 Adventure with Driving Tips
Aldo takes a break from singing and drives the Rubicon Trail, a tough off-road Jeeping trail in California. This trip was a training expedition in expert-level off-road driving techniques. You won't see a rollover because the training taught how to avoid one. Enjoy the adventure and learn a few things about Jeep driving along the way.

RUBICON : A Legendary Jeep Trail & Off-Road Adventure - Part 3 of 3
Come visit us at: http://www.WAYALIFE.com
Part 3 of RUBICON : A Legendary Jeep Trail & Off-Road Adventure is the last chapter in a 3 part series that was originally made as a single half hour long video. In this final episode, we kick start our morning at the crack of dawn and with a welder in hand. Once repairs are made to Trail Bud's broken front axle housing, we head over to the cool waters of Rubicon Springs and spend some time cleaning up and having some fun. Packed up and ready to roll again, we slowly climb our way up the last real challenge on the Rubicon Trail - Cadillac Hill. At the top, we take in the awesome view, pose for pictures, assess the condition of our Jeeps and then make our way back to civilization down in South Lake Tahoe.
Crossing through the El Dorado National Forest up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Rubicon Trail is truly one of the most beautiful ones I've been on, bar none. Of course, its unrelenting 22 miles of boulders that need to be crawled, steep ledges that need to be climbed, narrow trees that need to be squeezed between, deep muddy water crossings that need to be forded and tippy off camber terrain that needs to be carefully negotiated is ultimately what makes the Rubicon Trail so legendary and famous around the world.
More than just a Jeep, it's a way of life!

My Ford Ranger died in one of these mudholes... so naturally, i went out and bought an $18,000 Rubicon and went back for my vengeance... These holes were extremely muddy / swampy with water on top of that..
The 2 that i got stuck in were about 3 and 1/2 feet of pure muck..
Hope you enjoy seeing what a Jeep can do!
anybody got any cool offroad videos of their own hit me up.. i'll have a new one of Rausch Creek Next week.

RUBICON TRAIL : The Newly Transformed Little Sluice - October 2012
Come visit us at: http://www.WAYALIFE.com
For approximately 20 years, the Little Sluice was the premier obstacle on the world famous, Rubicon Trail. Filled with enormous slick nasty boulders, it was respected, feared and something many hoped to conquer someday. Unfortunately, as of Friday, September 28, 2012, El Dorado County Supervisors proceeded with their plans, broke up many of the largest boulders within the Little Sluice and level out the rest with tons of fill rock flown in by helicopter. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, we headed back out to the Little Sluice to see first hand what was done and, to run it in Moby, our white EVO built 4-Door Jeep JK Wrangler. In this short video, you will get to see raw footage of what the Little Sluice looks like today and just how much easier it is to run as well.
If you're unhappy about what you've lost and want to find out how you can help prevent more alterations from being made to the Rubicon Trail or, even help prevent its potential closure in the future, I would invite you to visit the following websites:

Summertime Snow Wheeling on the Rubicon Jeep Trail
In all the years we have been coming up to Tahoe in the summer, I'd have to say this is the first time that we've seen so much snow stick around for so long. In fact, even though it's July, we had heard reports that the Rubicon Jeep Trail was still covered in deep snow from about the top of Cadillac Hill, down to the staging area near Tahoma and enough so that buggies were only recently breaking trail over the 4th of July weekend. Well, as you can imagine, this was something that we had to see for ourselves especially being that we were planning to run the whole trail with a group of friends in about a week and, this short video highlights the fun we had snow wheeling up the backside of the Rubicon.
EVO 1's Final Run on the Rubicon Trail's Little Sluice
Come visit us at: http://www.WAYALIFE.com
Approximately 100 feet in length and filled with enormous boulders that offer little in the way of traction, the Little Sluice has stood for decades as being the premier obstacle on the world famous Rubicon Trail. Unfortunately, as of Friday, September 28, 2012, it will also cease to exist as we've come to know, love, respect and fear it. In spite of significant efforts made over the last 2 years by organizations such as The Rubicon Trail Foundation and Friends of the Rubicon to prevent this from happening, El Dorado County Supervisors have decided to proceed with their plans to break up many of the boulders within the Little Sluice and level out the rest with tons of fill rock that'll be flown in by helicopter.
With this knowledge in hand, Mel Wade of Off Road Evolution asked us to join him on the Rubicon Trail to give this iconic obstacle, one final run. And, on Saturday, September 22, 2012, that's exactly what he did, completely unassisted and in the very same 4-door Jeep JK Wrangler that he used to conquer it 3 years before. In this short video, you will get to see raw footage of his run with limited edits and no music so that you can get the full experience of just how challenging the Little Sluice really was.
