  • What does it take to get your off-road vehicle to the iconic sandstone slab scenic overlook ? Well, you first have to navigate your way up the famous Top of the World trail in Moab Utah and on this adventure, we take you along as Regena gets behind the wheel and attempt to drive this very difficult trail for the first time and we meetup with our good friend Shaun and his family from The Story Till Now and work our way up in some of the most challenging conditions I’ve ever experienced on this trail.

      What a brilliant idea! Seeing Brad and Regina wheel in Canada with you would be amazing. Some deep snow wheeling to a remote spot would be a prefect adventure film and be sure to gets the thumbs up :)

    To me, what is cool about these videos is that my friends and
    I did some of these trails 12 years ago on our Dual Sport motorcycles. 2008 Yamaha WR250R. I still have have it. But after a spiral right lower tibia fracture, a broken right collarbone, a broken left wrist...Transitioning now to 4 wheels. We did the western portion of the TAT trail back in 2010. The Trans America Trail. From the east coast to the west coast, primarily on dirt.
    We started in Colorado and rode out to the coast in Oregon. Moab was on the way.
    A couple of trips back to Moab since then with the bike. And north central Nevada, southeast Oregon.
    Top of the World and the rim trail... Black Dragon canyon..

    It’s crazy what mud will do to a trail. I ran top of the world for the first time last thanksgiving and the weather and conditions were great. I challenged myself to run my 2020 JLUL rubicon(stock still) with no lockers. I ran the hardest line my stock 33’s would allow and no bypasses. I have to say, I was very impressed with what the rubicon can do. Cool to see the missus running the trail, my wife has run poison spider, metal masher, and 7 mile rim in the sxs and she loves it. Love the vids you do

    • @regenakowitz

    I've driven this trail a handful of times in an unlocked XJ on 31s, it's one of my favorites. The influx of 37"+ tires and a lot more vehicles on the trail has really taken a toll on this route in the last ten years. I'd say 33ish tires and some driving skills would be the minimum these days, lockers wouldn't hurt.

    It's fun to watch rigs take the tough lines but I would be VERY interested to see a mixed group out there showing all of the different lines that could be taken up a particular trail. After all, it's not often that most of us get to choose which rig to take or to go wheel with similarly built rigs.
    Thanks for another fun trail ride.

    • @filterec1698
      @filterec1698 Рік тому

      We had a mixed group take the trail during EJS. We all went down the Hard side to come back as well. Coming down, there was no bypasses for the heavy obstacles and various rigs with various mods made it through. The guidance was non-existent so we were left to our own. Made it through with one scratch on a wheel.

    Brad, thanks for another interesting video. I just came off of this trail on October 5th, this year. My stock 2021 diesel JLU Sahara would NOT have made it. Without (at least) skid plates, 35s, a 4” lift kit, and lockers front and rear - it is unlikely that a person could have arrived at the top. A stock 2023 JLU Rubicon did arrive at the top with us - it used the lockers quite often on the way up. Anyway, people should do what they think - and have a “Plan B” - there are so many great stretches of the Kokopelli Trail that my stock Jeep can navigate, and deliver beautiful views of the desert Southwest. Keep it up!
