RESURECTIONJK
Hooked
It goes without saying that living in Utah has its drawbacks, our winters suck balls and the whole liqueur law thing here is just ugh... but one of the things I love about living here is you’re never far away from a good mall and there are so many to choose from.
I decided to combine two trips with this post being that I went out Friday morning and again today, Sunday afternoon.
The rattlesnake trail here is one of three in a system of trails that link together and its less than 30 minutes drive from home and, baring any issues I can usually be off the trail and back home within a few hours.
New to Jeeps and 4 wheeling, I took my good friend Mark to test out his newly purchased 2014 JKUR.
Sizing up some optional lines... or should I say shaking our heads at what we call the “buggy” line.
Getting mark through a tight squeeze.
This section of trail always makes me glad I have a soft top.
Pictures don’t do this obstacle justice. It’s essentially three separate climbs that are each about 4 feet tall, wedge into a V notch and the ledges are space about the length of a 4dr JK. I’ve tried it many times with little more to show than some rash to my rock sliders and the consolation I’ve gotten to use my winch more than I care to admit.
After a lot of deliberation, Mark finally decided on this built 2014 JKUR. I have to say, for someone new to 4wheeling and jeeps for that matter, he picked a pretty good one to start with
Sizing up the last obstacle on this link up of trials. Again, pictures don’t quite do it justice and this isn’t the best angle. But it’s basically a 6 foot ledge with a step followed by another 3 foot ledge. Needless to say there are winch points at the top as that’s pretty much the only way up.
Heading back down a narrow and tippy section of ledges, Mark worked his way down fairly easily.
And one last stop for a poser shot and to let his Jeep wave hi to everyone. Hoping to get him to join this great family of Jeepers here on WAYALIFE
Back at the gas station with my co-pilot. A well deserved slushy
