Top of the World & Hells Revenge in Moab with Bronco Badlands

[BBQBoy]

We stepped it up at Moad this time with a run to Top of the World & Hells Revenge

On the first day we ran Top of the World, a very challenging trail with 4 sections that proved to be very tough to work without a good spotter. Ran most of Top of the World in 4 Low but did get to use front & back lockers at a couple of the more challenging spots. These spots would be tough without lockers and being aired down to 18 psi. I did notice that there were other vehicles that turned around because of not having the setup to continue. I was running with a Jeep Rubicon with a 4-inch lift and 37in tires. I scraped more due lift and 35 in tires, primarily on the shock towers but I was able to do every obstacle that the Jeep accomplished. Overall, the Jeep guys were surprised by the capabilities of the Bronco and opened a few eyes. Top of the World was rated a 7 out of 10.

Hells Revenge another great trial with more of hard sand fin driving vs rock & chunk at The Top of the World. The entry is eye opening by climbing in on a big fin overlooking the staging area. The trail winds through the desert with unbelievable beauty across slick rock (Hard Sandstone). We stopped at Hells Gate and watched a few come close to tipping over, maybe next time. We also stopped at the Hot Tubs and watched UTVs trying to climb but no success. It was a great run, a lot of steep climbing and just as steep drops. The Bronco Badlands made the run look easy, ran primarily in 4 Low, and just used the back lockers on the real steep sandy climbs, had tires aired down to 18 psi provided a great gripping surface. Hells Revenge was a 6 out of 10.

Both trails are fun and breath taking and the adrenalin will run, I did pay attention to the correct lines and listened to the spotters and did not over accelerate and took the trails slow.

It wasn’t the up at Hells Gate that dissuaded me, it was the down. Next time I’m going to do it, I swear.

@BBQBoy Totally agree with your assessment of the two amazing trails. “Both trails are fun and breath taking and the adrenalin will run.”
I’ve run both trails in a Toyota FZJ80 as well as a LJ Rubicon. I haven’t had my Badlands long enough to get down there again with it but am excited to get there next spring. The proper line on ToTW is essential and he steepness and amount of grip on Hell’s is eye-opening. Glad you had a good adventure!

I agree down is worse, but my 2 door Bronco did it easily.

Oh, the Bronco isn’t the issue. It’s the component behind the wheel.

Top of World was awesome. Rough trail, couple spots I had to lock up, views are worth it for sure. I had a blast going up. We didnt take the loop down though. Pops in law said it's a bit sketchy.

Beautiful place! Someday . . .
I'd be quite nervous parking my car on that top of the world rock . . . Might drive right off the end!

When was your run? We were there last Monday-Wednesday.

We did Hells Revenge last month. Sadly, not in my Bronco. We were traveling across country in the motorhome and spent three nights there. We rented a Suzuki side by side and followed a guide in the lead vehicle, just him and us. It was awesome! I've never done a trail anywhere near that tough. I am not sure if I would do it in my Bronco until I get more experienced.
