Trail Damage on Brand New Jeep | Steel Bender Trail

We took our stock Wrangler Rubicon Extreme Recon on Steel Bender Trail! Continued to be amazed by the performance of this vehicle. We did suffer some trail damage when my spare tire caught on a rock, but that’s due to my driving more than the Jeep.
We conquered the famous “The Drop”, also titled “The Fall” and apparently “Dragon Tail” with both Jeeps. This is the second video from a trip to Moab with my parents, the first being Poison Spider. Now that we’ve put the Jeep through the paces stock, we’re going to start upgrading it. Thanks for checking out the video!#jeep #wrangler #rubicon #moab #offroad #offroading #4x4 #jeep4x4 #jeeplife #jlu #jeepnationv

that drop is always fun to see. I aired down my spare tire when I went down the fall in case it'll drag on the way down.

Yeah, I’ll do that next time 😅

Thaaaaaaaat's why they call it "Steal Bender".

Also: Still learning how to edit videos, so if you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it!

That drop!! Yikes.

I have an XR as well. Been to Moab twice with it and goin for the third time in two weeks. I'm keeping the stock suspension but goin with 37's and switching the stock 1" bump stops to 2" next week. We'll see how it goes.

Nice! I’d be curious to hear an update here.

Enjoyed the video. Can you tell me what lift and tires the other Jeep is running? The tires look like 315 KO2s, so if you could confirm that and what lift/shocks he's running? Any drop brackets on those front control arms? Looks like it handles the trail very well.

The tires are the 37" K02s, the lift is something from JKS - around 3". The vehicle was purchased with the lift so I don't know the exact specs!

Thanks! I appreciate it. @@ExpeditionEverywhere
