Project-JK: Off Road Evolution Conquers the Rubicon Trail Little Sluice

[96fitbikeco]

It's kind of funny when i try to find jeep videos i just try to find the ones that look the coolest and of course wayalife is the best.

[wayalife]

@96fitbikeco LOL!! thank you

[96fitbikeco]

I went to the little sluice along time ago and i watched a girl get into a rock crawler on the top of that rock and she was trying to back down but didnt know that it was in 1st gear and drove off the cliff and flew out of the ride because she wasnt wearing a seat belt. A helicopter came and picked her up but we didnt think that she would make. We hope and pray that she did make it.

[salinashondarider]

how much does a jeep with this modification round up too?

[tackiebox1]

What rear bumper do you have??

[IncuManiac696]

1 dislike?... toyota driver?

[evanstermite]

went around right side kinda cheatin up the middle is tough way

[HiMinds]

sweet i got the hundredth like, i'm so special

[blackshadow27]

Im new to wheeling, and i was wondering. is puting the V8 completely necessary or is the stock V6 just as good?

[wayalife]

@blackshadow27 i don't know who wouldn't want a v8 but, the v6 works just fine and it's what most of us use.

[blackshadow27]

@wayalife haha trust me, i would LOVE to put the V8 in. but its the fact that im 20 and dont have the moneyy to put it in yet:P

[lionsonparole]

@blackshadow27 the V6 sucks ass, even the new one still has no torque. i'm selling my JK and going back to the 4.0 era

[wayalife]

@lionsonparole ummm, whatever dude.

[KeitoXJ]

@lionsonparole the new v6s got more power and torque than the 4.0 engines lay off the crack or learn and drive and wheel the jeep

[96fitbikeco]

@lionsonparole I really like the v6. in my opinion the v8 would be fun but overkill what do you need it for the v6 works great

[Markdsv]

Fantastic movie !!!! great stuff !

[Dodgeoffroadfreak]

a h1 could NOT do this. sure there's a lot of money in this JK but it probably doesn't add up to the cost of restoring a broken military humvee or buying a civilian H1, freaken expensive. Solid axles to get over this shit, there's no way independent suspension could do this.

[zackunderscorefalcon]

Nice.

I'd be more impressed if it was a manual.

[NullusxVotum]

3:26 I would have shit my pants

[thegreatseal1991]

Lets see a Range Rover do that, haha. Vid is awesome, I'm looking forward to doing some off-roading with my tricked out 2 Door JK. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!

[Mr04MustangCobra]

wayalife...Do you recomend an auto or 6spd for wheeling? looking to get an rubicon unlimited and im torn between the two

Thanks

[wayalife]

@Mr04MustangCobra if you're new to wheeling, i think you will find that an auto is much easier to use on the trail.

[Dodgeoffroadfreak]

@Mr04MustangCobra get a stick!

[justin1989001]

just a suggestion he needs to take off the crappy sway bar and put on ANTI-ROCK it really helps with the body roll.... i just put one on and its amazing!!!! its just a suggestion.... kick ass video!!!

[natep246]

are these the rubicon trails out by north lake tahoe?

[wayalife]

@natep246 yes, this is at the little sluice on the rubicon trail

[natep246]

@wayalife Nice, is that black jk manual or auto?

[wayalife]

@natep246 it's an auto

[texaskev09]

That’s some very good driving. As a fellow rock crawler I appreciate what it takes to do a really technical section like that.

[tofwaprme]

Glad to see someone actually bothers to edit videos properly.

[austinax123]

Nice jeep and nice drivin looked like a rough section

[1QUIKGST]

Nice video, I've just started the build up on my JK and as with anything the wallet dictates the forward progress, if only the USAF paid me more.

The rear bumper and tire holder on that rig is sweet, were can I get that setup?

Keep the videos coming!

[wayalife]

@1QUIKGST thanks - the rear bumper tire carrier is made by off road evolution

[1QUIKGST]

[lovedavdubs]

Awesome Jeeps, awesome production, Finally a good 4x4 video without that stupid song about bodies hitting the floor. Two thumbs up....Way up. This almost makes me want to trade in my TJ.  :)

[yamahapb250]

nice jeep dude it is my favorite from ultimate adventure

[errenthovsep]

oh thankyou for the adivcce i want a wrangler for my first car and my parents and i were deciding which to get

[errenthovsep]

would you recommend a 4 door wrangler or a 2 door for everyday normal driving? -thankyou

[wayalife]

@errenthovsep both are great but having driven nothing but 2-door jeeps for more than 10 years, having a 4-door has been super nice.

[SuspectD3vice]

@wayalife How is the 4 door jk with all you've added to it still using the 3.7L v-6? What gears are you running?

[wayalife]

@SuspectD3vice well, i won't lie, a HEMI would sure be nice to have but, with 5.38 gears, the 3.7L gets the job done.

[RJCJENGO]

@SuspectD3vice 3.8 actually bro

[SuspectD3vice]

3:27 that was pretty close to a flop haha

[cdegrey]

wayalife, thanks a lot for the videos. on this black JK, do you know what sliders he has on the jeep?

[wayalife]

they are off road evolution custom sliders

[wayalife]

@cdegrey custom off road evolution sliders

[JeepXJ3]

Who's bumper is on that on the TJ @ 3:45?

[wayalife]

smittybilt

[jefeoOllllllllllOo]

what would you go for ox lockers or arb?

[wayalife]

i've been running arb's on a couple of my jeeps and haven't had any problems with them. they work and work well. unfortuantely, i don't have any experience with ox.

[jefeoOllllllllllOo]

@wayalife thanks anyways for the response..... this is one of the best vid ived seen!!!!

[8nos8]

love your vids man !!! I hope to one day take my TJ on one of these beautiful trails I see on your vids !

[Devilsmed98]

Love watching your videos man, keep up the good work!

[fedexsuprema]

for me the best project jk vid so far...brutal vid.....outstanding!!!! what a machine...love my lj but this jk is crazy....keep jeep'n!!!!!

[jamesjr934]

Who's the crazy mofo that decided that "trails" such as this would be a good place to drive? lol AWESOME!

[CrazyXP1700]

How much articulation does the double throwdown offer in the rear, at 4:18 it was kinda squared up, im wondering if it was dropped most of the way? its hard to tell from the camera viewpoint of how much contact he's making, but still... crazy stuff, congrats again Mel!

[krpinje]

Ha ha .. Coooooool !! :)

[balnab]

cool  jk

[dukeboy0888]

the offroad evolution was at sema and it was col seeing it

[drbubble33]

Good video again.

[DrummerChuckB1]

great video, nice rig.

-personaly, that trail looked difficult to the point of not being fun - but im sure yall had fun.

Maybe beause im use to East coast wheelin in a TJ, i dont fully understand it

[jmber27]

Excellent! and super quality Video.

[jonsloan09]

Dudes, great video!

[davidFj4wd]

GREAT VIDEO!!! WOOWW!

BEERS!

[petrie06]

Thats a wild Lookin JK... Sweet Setup.. and Congras on Makin it

[Running925]

another good video! Very cool, those are some big rocks, i didn't realize just how big they were till i realized those were 42's on that rig!!

[wayalife]

you ain't kidding - the 42's are big but the rocks are bigger!!

[willglo]

Hey Eddie, how come you wern't crawlin' the rocks in your JK along with Mel in this video???

[wayalife]

our big white jeep was out of commission with a busted rear axle at the time. we did the rubicon in our orange jeep and well, i wouldn't feel to comfortable taking it through the sluice box :)

[wakeboarder199]

Oh was that the axel that you replaced with the dana 60?

[wayalife]

yup, that was the one.  i blew up our dana 44 on the dusy a fews weeks before this trip.

[m09c14]

JEEPS FTW :D

[tomanater00]

that looked intense.

[wayalife]

if you can believe it, still runnin the stock 3.8L motor

[Stuka87]

Great video Eddie!

[bitmap]

man, that looked pretty tight where he strapped up. Had me puckered up over on this end of the internets.

[theoriginalmodz]

sweet video as usual

[alexrex20]

nvm, got a good view... the front (at least) looks like a dynatrac prorock 60(?)

[Stuka87]

He has DynaTrac ProRock 60's front and rear, and 42" MTR w/Kevlar tires. And of course the Offroad Evolution Double Throwdown Coil Over Suspension.

[wayalife]

what stuka87 said, prorock 60's front and rear with the evo double throwdown coilover system :)

[c0d4041292]

JEEP for life
