Because there is so much more to the JK-Experience than just wheeling, our 2nd day would be what is known as a "road day" as we would be doing a lot of on pavement driving but, it was also what I like to call a "tour day" as we got to do a lot of that as well. To start off our day, we headed over to the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway where we soon found the reason why we needed to have the undercarriages of our Jeeps clean and completely devoid of mud - we were being grated a chance of a lifetime and, would be running a lap around the Brickyard!! After all the fun we had at the IMS, we headed over to Impact Racing where we got a private tour of their manufacturing facility and, got a chance to visit the Don Schumacher Racing facility where they gave us a VIP tour as well. Leaving Indiana, we made a long trek out to Perrysburg, OH, and wrapped up the day by hosting a meet-n-greet and having a great time with fellow Jeepers in the area. Good times!!
Being in Ohio, I think there there must have been some kind of a calling to our Jeeps... a calling to come visit their place of birth. And, as if by destiny, that's exactly where Day 3 of the 2012 JK-Experience would take us to - the Toledo Assembly Complex. Now, I should point out that public tours of the Jeep plant isn't something that Chrysler typically does or even allows for that matter and the fact that we got to go at all was really amazing.
Day 4 would take us about half way up the state of Michigan and out to a wonderful little beach community known a Silver Lake. Here we would get to spend the first part of our day playing on the only dunes that allow private motorized vehicles to play on this side of the Rockies. The second half of our day would be spent at a relatively new off-road park called Rocks and Valleys and it boasts over 200 arces of hills, rocks, mud, tightly planted trees and other obstacles that offer a great time for wheelers of all skill levels. It would also be where most of us would get our first experience wheeling on tires!!
We hope you enjoy our film and come back soon to watch the final part in this series.

cant believe its almost 10k views in a day! it proves there is that much of a jeep community that loves you guys and your videos!
We really appreciate it and are glad you like them :)
I wish there was a thing like this for TJ's.
Glad to hear we didn't disappoint :)
I live here, I have drove around it a couple of times and it is something to experience at least once in your lifetime. It's hard to explain the feeling when you drive around it but there's just something special about it.
thanks a lot for coming through my hometown of terre haute. for the couple of people that i spoke to, i would also like to say thank you. not every day that i see that many awesome rigs running the streets of the crossroads. great hospitality from your group towards a young guy like me who just wanted to talk rigs
This has got to be one of the best channels on UA-cam. Awesome videos with great editing showing off the best looking JKs around. Great job!!
We're so glad that you like our videos. We use Adobe Premier but, depending on what you're hoping to do with the footage, it may be way more than you need.
Cool video. Wow what am amazing opportunity to drive on the Brickyard track!
It really was awesome!
Yes, we do plan on doing single trail videos again soon but need to get this project out of the way first. As far as music goes, we most likely will not use popular tunes anymore as they prevent the videos from being played on mobile devices. Sorry.
Thank you so much, we're so glad that you like our videos :)
Great second part to a great video series.Thanks again Eddie for bring your videos to life.
I know i am still here but i love this vid...
OK tires who would have thought. Thats cool. I bet that was diffrent. I think its a great idea for old tractor tires. You guys rock. The best Jeep videos by far.
Loving that neon green JK! really makes me want a jeep now.
Once again.... EPIC. Thanks WOL and Bleedbeat
I had goosebumps during the entire brickyard segment! What an opportunity that was for you guys!

Good editing, in the dune scene the cuts match so well with the music, love the jk revs at the begging of every 4 bar phrase.
Double treat...Superbowl and Eddie's videos.Great Job again (JKMadness)
Crazy seeing myself and my jeep in a jkx. Thanks for the M&G
Yet again, another amazing video by your guys. Amazing video editing, great camera angles, perfect quality. Can't wait till I find a JK I want. One of my dreams is to be able to be apart of such an experience. Hopefully in the next few years, I can do just that. Thanks again for all you do in the jeep community!
Thanks for coming to Indiana! Glad you guys had a good time!

I can't believe it, I grew up watching these videos saying one day I'd be out in the Rockies wheeling with the project jk team, and now that I'm out here in the Sierra nevadas, ya'll go to the Midwest! Well I hope ya enjoyed my backyard, cause I'm enjoying the backcountry ya have out here!

Absolutely, AWESOME!! Living in NY makes that stuff really close!!! Now I gotta beef up the JK!!! OK, when is Part 3 (:
I love the way you guys eat like our club up here in Michigan! Mmmmmm its all about the food! And yeah, I admit... I have a 12v coffee pot w/Starbucks on tap in my rig when out on the trail. Gotta love it!!!
Another great video. Looks like a blast so far.
Great Video! Nice lead up to Drummond. Ready to see that!

And yet another AWESOME video! Wayalife, thank you for putting this together. The only problem is now I am even more in the need for those mods, addiction at full throttle!!! Ha ha
Loved the video! It was great to hear Cindy's voice in a few scenes. Great Great Great job. An experience of a life time for sure. I would love to go on one of these trips someday. :-)
great to know, hopefully this year or the next ill make it out there!
that was amazing i cant wait for part 3!!!
Thank you
Well, what I use is a Tuffy Overhead Console. With the console, you get the piece that goes from the center roll bar, up to the windshield. The security box is in the front, giving you plenty of room to mount your CB behind it. Just so you know, it does make the inside of the jeep feel a bit tighter and enclosed...I think because the box hangs down so low. In the video, they have JK's(obviously). The seats are lower, and inside of the vehicle is wider...so its not as bad as a TJ
Awesome! Thanks :)
It's what most guys run with synthetic line. They'll give you more clearance but, I still like using rollers as they offer much better side pulling capabilities.
I know some will give me grief for saying it but, I think the 10th Anniversary Rubicon are real nice.
We're really glad you enjoyed that :)
Yes, that's what you will get with them.
Keep making awesome videos your the best on UA-cam and your voice is awesome lol never give up on your dreams and you guys inspired me to customize my stock JFK and get new axils and bead locks and I'm going to be going up dusy when it opens thank you so much and keep trailing and keep tho videos coming !!!!!!!!!!
If you guys ever come back to Michigan let me know I'll take you to some great trails with some deep mud. I have a jku and love these videos
Send me an invite also... I'm ready to go!
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoy our videos :)
They were a lot of fun and if you ever get a chance to get out there, you should run them :)
Awesome! I'm going to say its official! That was my Commando green JKUR in the video! I ordered it in August and it was delivered October 13th,

Thank you :)
Thanks for the thumbs up :)
Awesome, just awesome
We hope to get it out soon
Ah, that makes sense. Still an amazing video!
I love Silver Lake. I'm one of those dumb guys that drives his only vehicle, Jeep Cherokee, and hour up there, thrashes on it and drives it home. You oughta make it up here for Memorial or Labor Day weekend to see some real crazy.
true there are the badlands in Indiana and the sand dunes in Michigan, I've been to both and I love the sand dunes because I've been there since I was 2 weeks old and I went to the badlands in Indiana in March and I should now I've got a long travel sand rail that is mentioned for the sand dunes and I live 5 hours away from silver lake sand dunes
LOL!! Just having some fun
Ummm, in large part, that is the whole point of the JK-Experience - to showcase aftermarket parts made for the JK. I personally think this is a great thing as it means that anyone can obtain what we have. Of course, you're free to hand craft whatever it is you want for your Jeep.
Gotta love the Talladega Nights reference lol
We would love to someday
thank you :)
LOL!! Glad you liked it :)
Like you videos, these are great! For jeep people real eyefood i say!
finally its here!!!!!
LOL!! Thank you.
Way awesome very nice video editing !
