Just curious but did you video the entire trail or did you not do the entire trail? I did Steel Bender last year for the first time in my two door JL and I remember two difficult obstacles back to back, was curious how the Bronco would fare on those.
Yes, we completed and took footage of the entire Steel Bender Trail. I believe the obstacle that you are speaking of is called "The Fall" and is part of the Flat Pass trail (click me). Steel Bender is a lollipop loop, you start out at the "stick" portion, complete the loop, and back out the "stick" section (click me).
If I remember correctly we did not do the loop. That is the obstacle you are talking about though. Scary in the two door JL on the second one lol we stayed to the right. I have video of my wife doing the obstacle. A real ass pucker moment lol
I'm glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate the feedback.
I appreciate the feedback and will incorporate the request into future videos. I try to call it out when I'm engaging the functions. However, if I missed it I can easily put up text to let you guys know.I was trying to follow what buttons you were hitting for lockers or sway bar disconnect....next time you're producing one of these amazing videos, if you could tell us what you're using for what terrain, it'd be like an amazing cheat guide.
What you call “Flat Pass” is just the name of the mountain bike trail that also runs on part of Steel Bender but I don’t think anyone really bikes on this trail. The Wells book distinguishes Steel Bender Loop from Steel Bender Flat Pass Route but it is commonly run from the North entry continuously to the Wells “alt start” to “flat pass route” so you end up at Ken’s Lake. If you watch Lite Brite’s Jeep Safari videos of Steel Bender from 22 and 21 I think they take this route but maybe they also do the loop as well.
I appreciate the additional insight and recommendation to watch Lite Brite's Jeep Safari of this trail. After watching, I agree that straps would have been needed for my friend's 2dr JL and it would've been a very challenging work for our 4 dr rigs. On that day, it was fun watching the side by side tackle this obstacle and perhaps on our next trip we'll work up the nerves to do it ourselves.
I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video and I appreciate the feedback. If you're referring to the balls that are attached to the @EIGHTLUG AR's BAM BYODR (Bring Your Own Device Rail), they are to mount arms for various accessories. I purchased these balls from Amazon prior to AR (Archetype Racing) releasing their own version. I highly recommend the BYODR if you have a need to mount your phone and/or any other devices (i.e. GoPro, etc).
that works!!!!
Thank you !
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Seems like a lot of folks had a great time at the Bronco Safari.
