As luck would have it, our first morning in Moab was met with freezing cold temperatures and steady snow still falling from the storm that followed us in the day before. And, while there was a bit of a break in the weather as we headed into town for some breakfast, the forecast still called for more snow later in the day and so we decided to do our first official Project-JK Easter Jeep Safari 2008 run up Steel Bender with both the top and doors on. Unfortunately for us, Jen (toad) and Jeff (Bullfrog) had other obligations they needed to attend to that day so the only people that would be going on this run would be Jason (SDMF), Cindy (WOLette) and I.For those of you who are unfamiliar with Steel Bender, it is a beautiful trail that takes you through impressive canyons, multiple water crossings, up over ledge after ledge (most can be bypassed) and across plateaus with outstanding views. However, I should note that there is one steep ledge that you will have to slide down (there is no bypass) and it will deliver a good pucker factor as there is a big ass drop-off to the right that just so happens to have a landing that's bit off camber in that direction.Anyway, we hope you enjoy this video.In the event you are interested, Jason is driving a black 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon 2-door with a Currie Rock Jock Suspension System, 35" Cooper SST's, LoD Rear Bumper Tire Carrier, Shrockworks Mid-Width Front Bumper, WARN M8000 winch and Rock Hard 4x4 Parts Sports Cage. Cindy and I have a white Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4-door sitting on top of a Full Traction 4" Ultimate Lift, 37" Toyo MT's on Walker Evans Beadlocks, PUREJEEP front bumper/rear bumper tire carrier/rocker guards/CAI and outfitted with a WARN PowerPlant.
