Fun times in Utah - Hell's Revenge and Lost World

[Xjeepowner]

A bunch of us did it at Bronco Safari last May. Many is us thought the entrance to Hells Gate was exhilarating and almost scarier than the exit. We had a great spotter. When we did the staircase none of us had done it since it had been closed for many years. It was quite a challenge as well great times. Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures of Tombstone Rock - I’ll need to run Lost World when I’m back there this fall.

Hell's Gate is all about the line. Right line, easy, wrong line, disaster. If you haven't done it before, you really do need a good spotter. It really doesn't matter if you have a 4 door, a 2 door or a RZR, it is all about the line.

Awesome pics and videos!! A few questions for you. What is the antenna you are using? Which brand is your offroad camper? Does that additional antenna make a big difference in signal amplification?

We had a good campsite over looking some dunes. The sleeper was a big win after driving all day didn't need to set up any tents.

We hit the Lost World trail and they made me lead since I had signal, but I was also able to download an offline map and upload GPX files into OnX. It was a really fun trail https://www.rr4w.com/trail-details.cfm?trailid=85 - lots of good desert running and a mix of crawling.

The next day we hit Hell's Revenge and various features. I ran it stock, it went fine. Just didn't have any fast portions. But I was able to complete Hell's Gate and the Staircase. Ol' GlueBoy does a good job.

I had to modify the video for it to upload properly on the forums. You can check out the whole thing on my instagram in my signature. Please give me feedback - I'd like to know how to crawl better. I am more comfortable with desert running.

Great video and great build!

Yeah the entrance is wild, I much rather leave via the exit ahah! There's a dip in staircase that was rough for the entire crew but that was a fun feature. Moab is a fun journey.

I found them via overland expo last year - I really enjoyed the configurability on the different trims. It hauled really well with the Bronco, didn’t feel it much.

That trail has some really scenic views. We ran it backwards once we passed Tombstone Rock so the more challenging features took place last but that made it fun.

It indeed was my first time. The jeeps in front of me kept slipping on the passenger side so I made sure to stay high. Our spotter was good so that helped. I need to figure out why I kicked up there at the end, I see my rear driver wheel did dip. I just don’t know which line I should have taken.

Took advantage of it. It really does a great job - I was parked at Skyline Arch in Arches and had zero service, I flipped the antenna up and turned on the unit and got 10 mbps down. I was able to keep signal the entire time through Lost World while others in the crew kept losing it. It did a fantastic job.

I will be looking into purchasing one later in the year, it was a good sleeper.

You need to go a a little to the left before the dip and then right to go over the center of the dip. It is not intuitive as it seems wrong when you are doing it, but it works. Ideally your hood should stay level (left to right, not up and down) the entire way. The other key, which you did, is rock crawl. Going too fast is why people roll back down to the bottom. You did a good job. I will bet when your wheel was in the air, there was some pucker factor going on.
