Welcome to my Channel! This is a channel dedicated not only to my 2012 Rubicon but Jeeps in General…and how we Jeep fans just empty every pocket to keep our passion for our jeeps alive!
Another quality video. This spot is on top of my 2025 list. As for BC, I only adventure there. I love living in Alberta but offroading in BC is next level.
I feel your frustration about the Jeep fender clips; I hate them, I just had to take off my fender to install a twin ARB under the hood of my '24 Gladiator, only 4/11 survived... I'm now just going to put parts in my storage locker to minimize the number of times I need to take it off to get them chopped, put in new liners and get them wrapped. Side note, do you think Whipsaw can be done in a stock Rubicon Gladiator? I really want to join your group, but I'm not sure the truck will handle it.
The day after I got back I took a Sawzall to my fenders. Turned out great; I didn't go too crazy so hopefully I took off enough. If they're not painted you might want to just spray them with Raptor liner. That stuff is awesome. If I do have my rubbing under control, that's what I'll be doing to mine. Whipsaw has bypasses; so yes you can do the entire trail on a stock Gladiator. Don't make plans just yet. I might have to move the event due to BC wildfires. I'm pretty sure Rady is out since there's a fire right where the trailhead starts. I might move to the week of the 19th...but will give it another week before making that call.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Nice, did you use a kit? I'm thinking of going with the Quake LED fender chop kit, the bracket allegedly makes the fender quite a bit more rigid. Sadly, my fenders are painted, but I'm not opposed to spraying them with bed liner if they get too beat up. Sounds good, I think I'll join; no worries about moving it, getting time off isn't a big thing for me, I only need to give about 3-4 days notice.
@@barrytunzelmann6010 that part of the trail is a 1 out of 10 difficult. My Kia Rio could rock that trail plus…If I roll it there I don’t deserve to live in the first place 😝
Overland trail not off-road trail; I know it’s semantics, but if you want your video watched you need a silly title like this one. I know for a fact that Twisted Trail is way tougher than the connector.
Without the Northfork Pass (thanks to Teck Mining), the area is a collection of really easy trails. Some of the decents on the BC side of Racehorse were nice and steep which you don't really get a sense of in the video; but it's still an easy trail. That being said, it's one of the more picturesque trails you'll find in this province.
Yep; it's very likely. Worst case you can drill a custom hole higher up on the cover and use a bolt to keep it sealed. That wasn't an option for my ARB cover as it's extremely thick; not just a thin plate like the OEM cover.
Such an awesome video and it was so fun doing Top of the World trail with you. You got some great shots of it! Someday I hope to do the Mackenzie trail in Canada. Many years of off roading to come! -1995 4Runner
Well done sir! I'm in the market and want 60’s on 40's (currently have stock Rubicon axles on 37's). After your Moab trip, would you recommend doing 60's front and rear?
If you’re going 40s YES to PR62s front and rear. For me, 37 is max; I would have to give my garage a lift-kit if I had 40s 🤪 in Moab my PR44U/PR62 combo was absolutely dialed. Loved it. Also, for 40s it’s best to have hydraulic steering.
To find out what happened to Cole and Dashell, go to the channel for Matt’s Off-road Recovery and search for the video “Off Road Rookie makes a BIG MISTAKE.” 😂
Glad you think so! Most of these longer adventure videos take a while to get discovered. I’m not doing this for a job (thank God) so I don’t pay attention to the traffic. I just want to put together the best little films I can and have fun doing so.
Thanks John! Planning MOAB Wander 2.0 already :) Hoping to go the same time next year...it was deserted just the way I like it. Hope to have a few people from up here along next year. We'll see.
Listening to your wife's stressed out breathing showcased the gravity of the situation, ha. Regarding the shutting down of the back country, it's not so much about not keeping it clean as it is to do with UN Agenda 21 / 2030 and the implementation of UNDRIP in Canada. Here are videos to get up to speed if you aren't already.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Definitely do MOAB at least once in your life! You won't regret it; only thing is, if you do it once...you'll want to do it twice...and three times...and four times......
Saved this one for the big screen for when I got home. Great Video Cory. Looks so awesome down there. On the bypasses / easier trails. Are there much for guys with no lockers ?
@@evanrmoon hahah that was more than winging it. Perfect line :) I attacked my fender with a sawzall last weekend. I’m doing it next year when I return :)
Oh no; my rear flares would have popped off for sure; I popped one off on TotW...so yeah...next year! I know I need flat fenders but I've been fighting getting flat fenders for two reasons 1) I don't like the look 2) the ONLY onese I like are the nemesis industries ones and they're THE MOST EXPENSIVE by a mile. I did some trimming to the OEM flares this past weekend, so we'll see how they are next time out.
Awesome video! One of my favourites of yours! The cinemaphotography was beautiful. Top of the world was definitely my favourite trail that you did. That storm when you reached the top was really quite cool, even if you were disappointed you didn’t see the sunset.
Beautiful footage Cory. Moab is a mountain bike bucket list location for me and it looks like it would be a great time. I applaud your daughter...that takes a lot of guts to be stuck in a small vehicle with you for that length of time.
Thanks! It was an adventure from start to finish. They worked flawlessly in Moab and my latest trip to Southern British Columbia. Super happy with how everything is workin. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
I need a cup of hot chocolate just to get through this. Watching your breath is making me shiver lol! Good video. Hopefully somebody will sponsor you a space heater.
If you had a lift as well I would actually say yes. Everything relies on the nut! - the nut holding the steering wheel. Just don't gun it on loose rock. Son and I did North Fork and back Racehorse one weekend and never even needed to spot.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket bummer. I walked from the barricades towards the lookout and there is a trail that leads down to the east, but idk how to access it from the other side.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket that’s a good start…just keep in mind the COM BUS wires are still connected to the BUS… shorting those to ground could cause some issues.
Hey man! Yeah that was a blast!!! Definitely one of the highlights for the trip. I ended up doing Hell's Revenge and Sevenmile Rim also; was a pretty fun 4 days in Moab for us. I have a few questions for accuracy on the script; can you fire me a quick email Cory@5150GraFX.ca?
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Just did. Yeah man that lightning on the way down was so cool! Can't wait to see that part. We ended up going to St. George after and camping and riding trails in Sand Hollow.
I use Canadian Tire brand non-synthetic. If you’re in the USA, Castrol would be my go-to. Also, you do not need a limited slip additive since these are open differentials.
@@OFF_THE_HWY_ADVENTUREit’s good stuff; my pal Jason has been using it in his ProRock 60s for 10y and they’re still going strong. His is a daily driver on 40s :P
I have PR44 as my front axel but not sure what type of fluid to use. So far I use 85w90 (I think that's the right type). I also have eaton e-lockers with 37's
I use 80W90 front and rear; nowhere near hot enough for the 140 weight. Double check the eaton manual; I don’t know anything about them or their requirements.
Thanks for this. I am getting a random chime and momentary sway bar light on the highway. It’s only happened twice, but thinking I will get ahead of this and get rid of the smartbar as you did.
Hey man. I’ve got a ton of slop in my OEM steering. Like I can turn the wheel left and right by 8 inches and nothing will happen to the wheels. Does this kit address this issue? Do you know of anything I can do to fix this with the OEM equipment?
Your oem box is so done. Yes this will fix that. I just put Dynatrac axles in mine and drove 4500km to Moab. Drove like dream; 2 fingers on the wheel and no wondering on the highway. If you are planning on 40s you may want to go with the hydro assist option.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Thanks for the reply. Yeah I figured as much. I plan on going 39s (ko2s) with dynatrac axles here shortly. Can I install the steering box you have for now and add the hydro assist later? Thanks!
Yes; just leave the plugs in the box. Be sure to get the SG688R right away since you’re planning on going hydro. I was on the fence; can always port my SG688 later, but it handles my 37s with zero issues.
