“Like the shit we just came up?” That would have been my statement also. Deb nailed it. Another great video. Thanks for sharing your ride.
LOL ! Thank you for going along!
My wife would have said the same thing.
Excellent video great job wheeling I like the longer videos on trips like that one,
Thanks David!
Lord Lord! folks, I feel like I am missing out on life when I watch your adventures. On the up side while enjoying your adventure from UA-cam I feel more inspired to overcome and conquer my circumstances and get out there and enjoy the rest of my life.
God Bless for the great video. Your editing and footage is beautiful. Take Care and have fun!
Thank you for watching!
49:41 ... "Like the shit we just came up ??" 🤣😂🤣
LOL
I was thinking the same thing and then Deb said it! Lol
LOL
She sounded like she was over it for a minute after that hill didn’t she! lol
Looked like a fun adventure, can’t believe the Dodge squeezed through some of those spots… wow! Great video!
Thank you! It was a little tight on the Dodge.
Thanks Chris. If it weren't for Bill and Deb doing a great job spotting, I would have taken some body damage for sure!
@@kellypw8186 Pretty inspiring watching you take that fat bottom girl on those trails. Especially that “quick trip” into Moab for gas. What upgrades do you have over stock suspension so I know what is minimally required on those trails for a long wheel base?
@@lostlarry thanks! I really enjoy getting it out and seeing what it can do!
The entire truck is stock except for AEV salta wheels, 37" tires, white knuckle rock sliders and a tonneau cover. Otherwise it's as it came from the factory. The OEM Power Wagon suspension is soft and flexible and well suited to rock crawling as it comes.
What long wheel base rig are you running?
@@kellypw8186 I know my Ramcharger will fit now, we are planning this route next spring. Also down in Valley of the Gods/Monument Valley. Trying to decide on the middle area in between. But seeing that big boy make it is encouraging. I’m on 6” lift and 35s, LSD rear and an Aussie locker in the front D44.
At one point on the downhill when Alan and Nancy passed the camera, I said "hold up!" and had to rewind. Very impressed with Nancy's driving skills! This is possibly my favorite trail video ya'll have posted. Kudos to Deb as well......I know she did a lot of filming, and spotting. My daily driver is a RAM so you know I'm a BIG Kelly fan too!
Nancy drove the wheels off of the Jeep. And you are very right, Deb works very hard to capture these adventures. I think Kelly is developing his own " fan club".. lol. Thanks for watching Mark!
Mark, I agree! Nancy did an amazing job! She got my vote for the driver of the trip for sure. Bill and Deb work very hard to make all of this happen. Between the two of them filming and spotting they walk as much as they drive!
Hope your Ram is treating you well, they build one tough truck!
@@kellypw8186 I've had great luck owning Rams for the last 20 years. That Power Wagon is a beast!
Another banger of a video. Watching your video was a great relaxing finish to my day. 😀👍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I held my breath and closed one eye through most of this! Whew! Great content!
Thank you!
Another Fantastic video!!! Being able to revisit this trip through your film brings back just how incredible the scenery is out West. Bobby’s Hole looked a lot steeper on the drone footage but watching you go down the trail from the dash cam brought back just how steep it was. See y’all at Expo.
Thanks! Bobby's hole was very cool! See ya in a few days!
One of the funnest trails in the state and some of the best permit camping as well in my opinion anyway. We ran it in the opposite direction in the spring. This video brought back some great memories. Thanks for sharing.
It's an awesome place for sure! Thanks for watching
Csodálatos helyekre vittetek ! Azok a geológiai képződmények ! Lenyűgözőek ! Etelka from Hungary ( Dunaújvárosból )
Thanks for watching
GREAT video. I can only imagine the pucker factor coming down that one route. I’m running in a Ford Expedition, so I can appreciate that power wagon trying to maneuver around that area.
Thanks and yes is was pretty exciting for sure!
Thanks for watching! I wouldn't be able to do half of what I do with that Power Wagon without great spotting from Bill and Deb.
As I'm sure you know from driving your Expedition, there are a lot of situations where you just can't see anything. A good spotter makes all of the difference. Hope to see you out on the trail someday!
@@kellypw8186 That would be fun. I should have more free time in the future to finish my next truck projects and increase my camping trips. Not sure which will be first, but I want to install a hidden winch and work on our camp kitchen.
Wow my butt puckered up watching I can just imagine on the trail
It was alot of fun.
Great video!!! The scenery out there is beautiful and you're doing a great job documenting your adventures. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks again! Glad you all are liking the trip
You have me wanting to get back to Utah asap…. I definitely want to do canyon lands.. great video…
Thanks! We want to go back asap too
Great driving skills and teamwork! Gorgeous areas! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
Dammit! Brother that was awesome video and especially how the power wagon traverse those narrow trail for being a full size truck! 🙌 Badass! 👍 This video gives me the inspiration and motivation to try some trails down here in Texas! 😎 Can’t wait to see your next video this is Big Boy Frank from Texas Peace out ✌️ and safe travels!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Frank
Thanks Frank! Bill and Deb's spotting skills have a lot to do with it! They keep me out of trouble!
Wow, what a day!!!! Elephant Hill, when you reached the top the theme song for rocky should have been playing!!! Looks like some amazing planning.
You are right on getting to the top of Elephant Hill!
That there looked like it was a fun trip now and I can't believe that the ram was able to follow you guys through it considering you had a tough time with the jeeps too I'll be waiting for the next video too
It was the best trip ever! The PW is awesome
Thanks James! I would have had some body damage if it weren't for Bill and Deb's great spotting. A lot of times I can't see anything in those tight spots!
@@CoddiwompleOverland I must have missed what you called this trail…What’s the “PW?” Also, how much fuel did you need to have for the JKU’s on the longest of these legs? edit…I guess “PW” was the “Power Wagon.”
This section was Beef Basin, Bobby's Hole, Devils Lane and Elephant Hill. Yes, the PW is the Power Wagon. The longest legs were around 150 miles. I would recommend carrying at least 4 extra gallons for the JK's
Great video from all the perspectives. Those rock formations are amazing. I would definitely wish for a front facing camera.
Thank you! And yes they were!
Fat bottom girl did good!!!(PW). Yet. Yet another great video from y’all. Safe travels
Funny, we call her the same thing! Thanks again
STill one of my favorite routes (run the opposite way) to date
I would like to do it the opposite way sometime too
That was incredible! I would love to ride that trail but not by myself! Great job getting the power wagon through those tight spots and great job of driving for Nancy!
Thanks!
Wonderful adventure, thank you for sharing…
Someday I’ll have a Jeep and be capable of these types of trips.
Thank you for watching
What a great adventure, cant wait to do mine thanks for charing. 😎
Thanks !
Great video guys!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks!
This is your best work yet. There were a couple of times in the video I hoped for a drone perspective of the obstacles, but I understand your hands were full navigating them. I noticed the music was given attention and the transitions were looking good too. Great work and I’m jealous. I think my wife would beat me for taking her to that Elephant Hill obstacle though. Lol
Thank you very much! We were not able to use the drone past Bobby's Hole as we were in a National Park. But you are right, drone footage of that would have been amazing! Thank you for watching
@@CoddiwompleOverland Is it generally ok to fly anywhere else besides parks and airports? I was wondering if the regulation is a hassle for what I assume has become a business of sorts for you.
Airports, national and state parks. Everything else is pretty open. We use an app to check for restrictions if we are unsure.
You must also have a commercial drone operator license to use drone footage on YT
Great, nice and all Respect, very nice video. Greetings from Frankfurt
Thank you very much! And thanks for our first comment from Germany!
Beyond enjoying the re-runs, I've learned much from peeps like you. In Gaia GPS & Google Earth, I've tagged Bobby's Hole, Elephant Hill & Lockhart basin as areas to avoid, since I will be solo & pulling a gear trailer.
👍
Yes! Those are some rough ones.
Excellent trip and great series of videos. You are doing some of our bucket list stuff and we hope to get out the next Spring.
Thank you. It was an incredible experience
fantastic trip my first to see the narrows thank you
Thank you for watching!
great episode, thank you for sharing. can't wait for the next
Thank you for watching!
Another great video... Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I need to come visit you guys next time I fly into Lexington! I sometimes pick up work down in London.
Sounds good. Who do you fly with?
@@CoddiwompleOverland PHI
Cool I'm at Air Evac 118
Awesome video, I can't wait to make a trip out that way myself
Thanks. You won't believe your eyes!
Was the trash that we see on the downhill section- roofing tar paper? That was a tight fit for the Power Wagon.
It was actually geomat. It is used to stabilize loose soils
At 46:10 I thought they had two very large rocks on top of their Jeep and thought "no wonder they're having issues".... And then i realized they were trash bags...😂🙄
LMAO. They may have had rocks in the back.....lol 🤣
Great movie, about your travel experience....
1. Could you please tell about your dashboard camera, which seems to do a great job in coping with road vibrations ?
2. Can you please put a link to the hood monkey that you specified for the Dodge Ram ?
Thank very much, and that you continue to enjoy the roads....
Thank you!
1. We use a Go Pro hero 9 for our dash cam
2. Kelly doesn't have an actual hood monkey. This is a long running joke on the channel where Kelly once said that he would like to have a little monkey on the hood to tell him which way to turn. Since then Jeep and Ram have come out with new vehicles featuring forward facing cameras, or "hood monkeys"
I was going to ask the question, but figured the ole “monkey” topic would come up down the comments here somewhere! That’s what I figured you all meant…about the forward facing camera.
I might have missed it, but what were all those black things on the side of that down hill trail?
It is Geo Mat it is used to stabilize the soil. It is used by the National Forest services.
Is your assuie locker installed for this trip? How many miles have you gone with it in? Sorry for all the questions. Looms like one he'll of a trip. I'm loving it.
Yes it was installed for this trip. We have over 50,000 miles on it with zero issues. It is one of the best mods that we have made to that Jeep
Thank you. Thanks for the information and your awesome videos. I wish others would make their videos in the same manner as yours, they would be more interesting enjoyable and informative. Thank you again 🙏❤️
Thanks for the compliment
I am enjoying your channel! Thanks for sharing. Which drone did you go with?
Thank you! We went with the Mavic Air 2s
New viewer so not sure if you typically share your route, but is there a name for the trail/road that runs from basically the beginning until you start bobbys hole? I noticed on another comment you said beef basin, but I couldnt find online any trail in beef basin that looked like the opening scene in this video. Thanks!
Here is a link to that route. Thanks for watching!

@@CoddiwompleOverland Thanks, I appreciate it! Video was excellent by the way.
Thank you!
I always wonder about your buddy's red JL and if/what lift they have.
They have an AEV leveling kit BUT they are always loaded VERY HEAVY....
I'm from utah it been years sine I seen them Canyons I live in ky
Utah is incredible!
At 43:35 you may have heard me yell for Bill. What you can’t tell is just how scared I was. You’ll see Bill come running to help us get a better line. Talk about an intense moment…
I was very intense. Your Jeep had slipped and put you in a bit of an awkward position for sure...
It was an interesting climb for sure! The video just doesn't to the angle justice. You did a great job getting it done Mike!
@@kellypw8186 thanks Kelly. See ya on Thursday.
Just curious what was the black debris on the side of the steep decent around the 15 min mark?
Good question. It is called geo mat. The idea behind it is soil stabilization on a surface that erodes easily. But more times than not, it ends up looking like this... The NFS and BLM tend to use it a lot on trails that they have at of trouble with keeping them maintained.
Thanks, I learned something new today.
Wondered the same thing. I was figuring responsible folk such as yourselves would be picking it up along the way to dispose of. 😂 👍
While it looked as though it was just thrown around, it was actually still attached to the material underneath or we would have cleaned some of it up.
@@CoddiwompleOverland I was just joshin’ ya.
Curious, what model year is the lead Jeep, with the rooftop tent, awning, and Rotopax containers on the sides? Thanks!
2011
@@CoddiwompleOverland Mine is a 2014, and a similar color. :-)
Shew a few pucker factors in this video
For sure!
Kelly needs to buy a Jeep and leave the truck at home. Do not get me wrong he did a good job.
Thanks for watching!
I actually have a 2017 2 door Rubicon...lol! I really like getting the Power Wagon out and seeing what it can do! Besides, all of the room in the PW comes in handy on the long trips!
The room comes in handy for all of us!
Does Alan's jeep have any lift to it? He's always doing such a good job on what looks to be stock.
He has an AEV leveling kit but they are always loaded VERY heavy
BTW, this trip Nancy was driving! She got my vote for driver of the trip!
For sure!
@@CoddiwompleOverland Awesome, thanks for the information
@@kellypw8186 did a great job!
Does the guy with the Ram have a UA-cam page?
No, he is just part of the CWO crew.
Thanks for asking! No, I don't. But there will be plenty more of the Power Wagon to see on Coddiwomple.
The next video should have the toughest rock section I've done yet!
I see the sob hill cus I was watching and said that
LOL!!!
Is that power wagon stock ?
Stock suspension on 37's
@@CoddiwompleOverland it did really well for a full size. ! Good job Dodge!
what yr is the power wagon? then whats the power plant?
It's a 2017 with a 6.4 Hemi.
Thanks for watching - Kelly
