- Poison spider Moab Difficult Trail with a Stock Jeep. Everything you need to know about Poison Spider off-road 4x4 trail in Moab Utah using a stock Jeep JL Wrangler Rubcon. We'll answer... How hard is Poison Spider? Is Poison spider worth doing? Can a stock Jeep do poison Spider? This video provides Core Trail Information, why it is special, Basic Recommendations, and a look at the major obstacles. Obstacles covered include waterfall with s turn, big ledges, all optional obstacles, sand bowl, and overlook.
This is the first of a series of concentrated trail videos, but full length Trail Guides on these trails will be released as I get them edited. More off-road content will be produced, but I'm determined to make the majority of videos be on trails.

Also that Suburban is super sick. Wish I still had mine!
It is!
We did Poison Spider in 2018 in a stock JLU Rubicon. No problem and a load of fun.... I would like to get back out there and do it again as we now are on 37”s
Awesome!
I see I'm not the only one who's thought about chopping the back off a tahoe
Very cool, we just did this trail today. You are spot on with this short. Nailed the key obstacles besides that cliff side that is an immediate switch back by the rollers. That had me at the edge of my seat going and coming back out.
Thank you! That’s what I was hoping for… I’ll still do a full trail guide (probably 25 minutes for this one, maybe even more) of it showing everything and the full obstacles, but they take time as I make sure they are accurate.
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the full video on this trail!
Thanks and I look forward to making it!
I'm doing this Saturday!! Excited and glad to hear my stock JLUR should do just fine.
Have a blast! It’s a fun trail!
Absolutely fantastic content, unlike any other on CZcams!!
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to produce a lot more next year.
Every time you had mentioned work I always pictured that you did a WFH/office job type of thing. Would've never guessed you operate locomotives! Pretty cool
Thanks, I’ve done a few different things, but liked that railroading never came home with me. It’s a fun job, but the schedule is insane right now and I use to work over 80hours a week… but there was some consistency there. Thanks for watching!
That adventure is great. Nice share
Thank you!
Love the intro from your job
I’m working on 4 of these right now and they’re all from my job except the next one lol. It’s the only way I can get the A-Roll filmed as I spend more time in trains and hotels then I do in my own bed/home. Thanks buddy!
The chevy is awesome and unique. Please feature it on your channel!!
It’ll be in more, Matt and I are now friends and it’ll definitely be in the full trail guide. That’ll likely come in October or November since Moab is a year round spot.
This rocks!
Thanks!
Cheers amigo!
Cheers!
Love your full length videos. Not sure if this was supposed to provide much info…but if it could have shown the toughest spots with some info that would be more helpful. All I know from this is that it is a difficult trail.
Interesting and thanks for the feedback! I tried to pack as much info into the video that I could while keeping it under 5 minutes. Altho I absolutely recommend using Funtreks books and Trailsoffroad, I’ve provided similar info to what they provide from my perspective. I thought about it from what’s the basic info an off-roader should need on a trail in video form. So we have basic info (trail difficulty ratings by credible sources, trail length, time to complete, max elevation, when to do it, etc), why I think you should do the trail, a look at all of the obstacles you will see and where they are, and my recommendations for doing the trail. What am I missing?
There will be a trail guide of Poison Spider, but I’m working every 10 hours so editing a 20+ minute video takes forever with this schedule. It’s also going to allow me to film a lot more trails which is really tough to do with 10 hours off in between work shifts. I’ll have more editing time later in the year. My other solution is to just quit so I can spend more time wheeling now… but I like making videos for others so I’m trying stuff to see if this can be a more viable option. I do appreciate the feedback tho!
There is some good trails in the big horn mountains in Wyoming that you should check into. Boulder basin and game creek are both very challenging.
I absolutely want to hit Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho… the ones included are just where I’ve scouted. Thanks for the heads up!
Wondering if you know anyone with a stock Xterras pro4x that would travel with you on a trail. Love your videos.
Drew has a lightly built one, but no one with a stock one and I’d love to film that! My schedule is horrible right now tho. I spend more time in hotels and on trains then at home so coordinating with others is tough… even tho that what I want to do as my wheeling alone is boring. Thanks!
My first gen Xterra in it's current state is probably Similar to a second gen pro4x when it comes to tire size and clearance. Main differences with the second gen will be the factory rear locker, longer wheel base and wider track width (so larger over all), similar approach and departure angle depending if you still have stock bumpers, and alot more power than mine. Always happy to see other Xterras out on the trails!
Great job one of my all time Favorite trails. If you want another amazing trail that doesn't get attention like the other check out Flat Iron Mesa very nice and not busy
It’s on our list and I’ll do a full guide of this one, it’s just going to take a while. Thanks for watching!
Cool, thanks! You weren't the Dewey from Unstoppable, were you? 🤣
Definitely not, although maybe I do work for CSX railroad 😉
Would have liked if you detailed harder obstacles on which line you took as some of the steps would be difficult with stock configuration and which you used the easier "go around."
The trail guide will have that… this was meant to be a highlights video in under 5 minutes. Trail guides are 10 to 30 minutes so they can cover more.
I have a manual yellow 2dr JL too!!!
Nice!
Well done as usual! Is your RR garb a employment requirement, like a nurses/doctors scrubs? Or is it just the best thing to wear on the job? Sorry for off-topic.....
Thank you! Not a job requirement but a lot of us will wear overalls as it’s a dirty job. I wear overalls when I’m out of clothes, it’s winter, or I when I have my sleeping clothes on underneath (and I don’t think I’m going to get sweaty). I was out of clothes here and for the one I filmed on Jenny Creek.
Poison spyder wasn’t bad. Golden spike was the real deal. The golden crack was the worst obstacle there for me. Almost flopped my Jeep. Actually would have fell over but some cool guys from Tennessee literally caught me as I was going over. There is also a big waterfall that’s pretty hairy. Can’t remember if it was on golden spike or gold bar rim. Can you do it in a stock Jeep? Maybe. Would I? Heck no
Nice heads up! I’m all about testing that so I’ll be the Guinea Pig. Just not sure when I’ll get back to film it!
@@coloradomallcrawlers I’m sure you can do it. Especially with a helping hand. The day I did it I did it with a 2dr bronco I met at the trailhead. No idea what package but he did have lockers and a winch. The guys from TN helped us both. They stood on his rear bumper for one big drop off where the rear tires were coming up, a lot of assistance at golden crack, and he has to winch himself up the big waterfall. It did have a winch point in the rock. All wheelbase related stuff. Other things his did better than the 4 doors. Bent up his rear bumper but he didn’t care one bit. His little bronco kicked butt.
Hey Dewey! Our group will be in Moab in October. I have a 4Runner with a 2” lift and 31” all terrains. Would you avoid Poison Spider with this setup?
Sounds fun, but do you have full skids and rock rails? The 4Runner should have the capability for it if it’s a beefed up off-road version, but I think you’re going to bang up the underside pretty good on 31s. I probably wouldn’t do it and have a better time on dome plateau instead.
Poison spider was fun... did it in a stock gladiator with 35s... stuffed the tires a few times... dragged belly a few times... but was a fun trail overall. Definitely hard. Don't do it solo like I did
Definitely a fun trail and I agree! You never know, the only good thing is that it’s so popular you’ll likely encounter help if you need it.
@@coloradomallcrawlers that's what I was hoping for if I needed it. Especially by going on it accidentally trying to get to corona arch, and the jeep arch. My wife's apple maps made me do it... she wasn't so pleased... I was!
Can a stock new defender 110 do this trail?
Possibly with a good driver. The defender has capability, but I’m not sure it’s a rock crawler.
@@coloradomallcrawlers thanks we will be going out to Moab this October and September and will be doing some trails hopefully we can go with a few locals to show us the way. With a little luck we can meet up and wheel together thank you for your help.
Was that a tahoe?
I’m not sure, but I’ll get full specs and details on it in the trail guide.
More colorado trails
Most are Colorado trails… next four are (currently being edited), but Matt has been patiently waiting for me to edit the full trail guide of Poison Spider so I thought I’d at least get a highlights version filmed. Plus, I thought it would be a good one to test the format of these with as they may reach a wider audience than say a little known trail. However, my hope is these short ones would be a great way to show off the less well known trails! Thanks for watching!
Let the man upload Moab too. Your missing out by closing off your view
Dewie, are you in a locomotive??
I was and I’m also currently in a locomotive.
@@coloradomallcrawlers Trains and wheeling! You are living the Dream my friend!
