- East Coast Wheeling!!! Nothing beats offroading and rockcrawling in challenging conditions.
We took a trip in the Jeep Wrangler JKU out to Windrock TN. Windrock is a great offroad park, and has so much to offer.. We had a mix of muddy trails, awesome rock crawling, and even found some snow on the way.
The JKU did great, the 40" Yokohama XMTs performed amazing in these muddy conditions and gripped like it was dry! This is what these tires were made for.
All of the other recent upgrades have help up really well too, the DIY 7SC 3 link long arms, falcon shocks, antirocks, etc. I was super impressed on how the jeep did!
Joining us on the trip was Kevin and Katie from Rockfab Offroad. They make all kinds of recovery gear, so be sure to check them out and help support your fellow wheelers!

Kevins Jeep is a 1996 XJ on 35"mtrs, he is running a clayton 3 link 5.5" lift, sporting a lot of his own handy fabwork for the half cage and armor. He just finished up his Ford 8.8 swap prior to this trip.
Casey, is the Samurai owner. He has owned it as long as i can remember, and he has not changed it up! It performs great, and is a cool little rig. Its on 33"s, solid toyota axles, and is powered by a 1.6l engine if i remember correctly.
This trip was a blast, and it was fun to get out and wheel with some friends, even if it was only for a single day.
Now that we know some good trails to hit, i am planning a group ride sometime this spring here! Let me know if you guys are interested!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!! Where is your favorite place to offroad? Do you like it muddy and wet, or rocky and dry? East coast or west coast? Let me know in the comments below!
JK Gear and Gadgets Windrock is one of my favorite places to off-road. They’ve got a little bit of everything there and the scenery is amazing. The first time I went was with my dad in his Jeep and even though it hadn’t been rainy there was mud everywhere.
I dont know yet. Just got my JK and looking forward to some wheeling in the near future.
Care to teach a new dog old tricks? Haha Hope to see ya out there on the trails someday.
Dry and rocky👍👍 you can have the mud, unfortunately in Illinois that's all there is. Just waiting for the annual migration westward😁
Those are my favorite kind of trails... I love the East coast! Muddy, Rocky, Hills.
give me rocks and dry! lol. Have not gotten to wheel the west coast, but have wheeled in OH, KY, TN, and AL.
We need to go back ASAP. Muddy or not! Wish we had trails like this closer to the house... but next time... the LJ needs to be there!
I took my JT over Black Friday weekend. Heavy rain and mud made for lots of butt-pucker moments. Great place to ride though. Hope to go back when it's dry.
Go when Hollie is going. I am going to try and make it on her tour to AOP and Windrock. Next time you go to Windrock hit up Walden's ridge, Panther Rock, and a few others. Oh hell you know Matt and Jeremy this is in their back yard just give them a hollar and have them take you around
You and Ben need to have a trail competition, LJ vs. JK.
Stephen Witham the JK is way more modded than the LJ, that said I’m still rooting for the LJ because LJ owners need to stick together
At first I thought it was sad that the Rock Fab guy didn’t have a front locker. Then I thought for a guy trying to sell recovery gear, it’s actually brilliant. He can use the recovery gear all the time. Proving it’s worth. Showing it off. Seriously. Spend the money on an advertising wrap. Boom. 🎤⬇️
Looks like the trip was a lot of fun.
That little red samurai really impressed me lol
It’s a workhorse for sure
The trail is very, very, very, very espectacular !!! I live in Puerto Rico and I had a samurai, they are great, now I have a 4runner in plans to ride it. success in your videos !!
I was pleasantly surprised to see the venerable Samurai holding up to a new gen Jeep.
Love the Samurai
Good times with great friends! That's what Jeepin is all about!
I prefer the southwest for wheeling, but I do like to watch you east coast crazies play in the mud. Btw, I used to live in S.C. and we played in the mud with my dad's FJ55 and 2 CJ5's such great memories.
That looked like a fun day out. Got to love random snow
Gotta say great video!! Mad love for that Sammi!! But was nice jku xj and sammi! Great mix!
Kudos for both of you hanging in there for as long as you did, as I enjoyed it from the warmth of my home. Weather certainly added a suck factor to that adventure.
Thank you for bringing us along. Yes, a summer trip is needed.
Excellent video. Always love watching zukes on the trails.
Loved this video because I love Windrock!
That Suzuki is fire jeeps too 😭🤣
Edit: p.s I’ll buy a RF rope to help him afford a locker😭🤣
MiguelGGM Pleaseee 😂
I'm totally diggin' that little Sami. Your boy in the XJ REALLY needs to get some lockers.
Beauty ride! Love snow! Love the drone footage...great addition! Nice! (keep up with the trail vids, too!)
Thanks man! Hope to see you out on the trails again soon
@@JKGearandGadgets I know! Hit Beasley Knob over Thanksgiving. Want to hit it again a little dryer. Don't mind the mud, but I wanted to crawl more. Windrock is on the list for 2020!
Enjoyed this video, I’m a yota guy so I was rooting for the Zuk!
That little samari is bad ass
Awsome video the rigs are bad ass.. especially that Suzuki love to have one of those lol.... Keep the videos comin....
This was very beautiful! Would love to see more content like this ;-)
Man this was an awsome video! Badass Rigs !!! All of them, Great way to start the year ! Keep up the great work
Nice finally Mud!!! Thanks Bro’!!! 🤙🏻
You guys are AWESOME!!
Those are some sick trails!
That's really cool, such different scenery from what I'm used to.
I was looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint. Nice job! I wish I could have been there with y’all.
Awesome video! Might be my favorite
Looked amazing
Looks like a blast!!
Cool wheeling love the trail videos keep them up and good to see a nice sammy
i love your wheeling videos, yall are doing great
Would love to hit Windrock with you sometime. Last time I went were similar conditions, minus the snow. My buddy and I had no idea what trails to hit. Started on 75 and just slowly worked our way back toward the lodge trying to hit as many blacks as we could.
Nice job wheeling guys.
Thank you! It was a fun trip
Awesome terrain!
Great video and thanks for putting it together for us to view. It’s got me wanting to get back out and go for a ride.
Thanks man 🤘
Got a 2019 jeep with all the add-ons and its awesome.
That looked fun and a good time.
Our favorite place to wheel coming from Myrtle Beach, but hate all the mud on some of the trails. Trail 15 is so fun and it is right at the beginning of the mountain. After 2 weeks at Windrock, and still only hit a small fraction of the trails there.
Balls super awesome trail🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dayum...did you even put it in 4WD? LOL...looked to easy for your JKU. And that Samurai...lol....the original side by side. Awesome video!!
Great wheelin' video. Great camera work and editing!
Awesome video.
Man oh man, that looks fun!!! I'm west coast. We dont have stuff like that. Looked awesome. Sandhallow Utah has one of the best spots to wheel... Definitely would like to get muddy tho. Some of the lines you took where interesting. I will make it out there some day!!! Thanks for the video!!!
This is real OFF ROAD!!
Some of the west coast wheelers will argue with you! But I love this type of wheeling!
Rocky and dry!
Amazing video ben! Not sure why the views are so low.. this should have 100x what it does.
Love these videos can’t wait to see the jk kill it in more off-roading videos
Hard core I love it all like colorado in the spring
My JL isn't a trailer queen, but I am NOT a mud guy. Don't like having to spend more time cleaning up than wheeling. OK to watch you slog through though 😜
Busted! 😂
Busted! 😂
Boldr Bangr I haven’t been able to get my LJ clean all winter, when we get the bone dry weather it’ll get a deep clean though
@@ivanfromtheeast4709 I feel your pain brother, I live in Nebraska!
5:07 the Samurai was dancing
Good Wheelin'
Liked the drone shots Ben. I was gonna head out to windrock in the next couple months. Can't wait.
You will love it! Get the winch ready lol
Great video! I just picked up a drone myself. Windrock looks hardcore when it’s wet and muddy. I’ve only wheeled out west ( Utah, Colorado, Arizona, California). Illinois is my home state. Not much for trails around here. For Jeeps anyway. Great to see ya out wheeling! Love your channel.
Looks like fun I'll get there one day
Next time you guys are here hit up Matt with Bleepinjeep he lives in the area. Hopefully my jeep will be done. I'm in Knoxville.
Hey guys great vid I just went to rock fab to buy a few things and support a fellow off road company buy everything was out of stock but hey great vid guys loved it
Overland Citrus Back in stock!
That's such an awesome video.... Down here in Aus we wheel in hot dry conditions...that looked like do much fun...great vid.....that's a Rubicon yeah?
It was originally. Axles have been swapped out to one ton axles though.
Windrock can be a hoot. Our little group is planning on pulling 4 days there the last week of june/first week of july.
Great video again guy's it was worth the wait . No mud for me unless it unavoidable .To much time trying to clean it up . Favorite spot … well … Moab . Until next time take care and I hope you are feeling better now Ben .
Moab is always a great spot! Thank for watching
Moab is always a great spot! Thanks for watching
Windrock in the snow is always fun, we're lucky to live just 45 mins away. lol. I like those flush taillights on the JK btw bud.
I'd be down for a spring ride and I'm only 45 mins up the road.....quite a change from when I used to be 45 mins up the road from your current location. I've got a garage to fix any damages from the park as well.
The Three jeepteers
Looks like a lot of fun, will be interesting to go this spring. Let us know when (ahead of time to get things ready).
I mostly prefer to web wheel! 😂🤣😆 Good stuff sir!
Rockfab must have had a good holiday season, lots/most stuff out of stock.
He moved, and had a baby. Been very busy haha. If you shoot him an email, I’m sure he can get you what your looking for
DangitBobby Back in stock with most gear!
You guys should check out the Ace lava jackets for your winter Wheeling excursions. They're very nice and work well. My wife approves of them. They have adapters for different wranglers
You are so right that Windrock cannot be taken in within one day. It's a weekend minimum. Little nicer in the summer tho 🥶
I love windrock, we usually go twice a year. It would be cool if you could organize a ride event up there this fall, assuming the Covid is gone.
Hey man. You should come out to Holy Land in Bedford Feb 15th. Gonna be a bunch of rigs and a good time
seems like the one tons and 40's are working out well for you.
Awesome video wished it snowed down here in Florida 😂
Wish have mud and hills like that a bit closer
Awesome video yet again. Our Jeep club is going to Windrock and the tunnel on Valentines Weekend. Would be awesome for you to join us.
I’m only 30-45 minutes away in west Knoxville would love to meet you guys next time you’re down this way!
You should have planned a meet up with the Bleepin Jeep guys. They wheel Windrock.
Hands down best part was the I've been hit I almost fell laughing
If you like this vid you should watch rockyour4x4, those guys are serious. And they do these trails in similar conditions. Love the vid Ben, keep ‘me comin 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Take a shot each time Ben says "Stay in it."
People need to learn to stay in it lol
What's up Ben I recently subscribed awesome vids really helpful just ordered 1-tons and 40s hopefully be here in a couple weeks going to rausch creek or aoaa the weekend after and def plan on taking many trips down south and out west hope 2 see you out there
Rausch creek is a blast!
@@JKGearandGadgets Yea it is can't wait to go back on 40s!
Great video Ben! Going wheelin in the mud without doors sounds awful... Are you going to do an after install update on the Currie Antirock swaybar On and Offroad?
WTG Cassie, wheel the tires off it girl, break it, it's his so let him fix it hahahahaha
What model GoPro do you use and do you use an external mic with it? I have a Hero 5 Black and the internal mic sucks pretty bad, especially when recording gunfire. Thanks in advance!
Mud is always fun, but not fun when you get home and have to clean it
very true!
Love to go with you when you go
Nice use of the Drone! Just right...
Thanks! I hate when it’s over done, just a touch here and there 🤘
Went there with a rzr 900 bad mistake it's full of big ruts and some decent drops
I tried to buy a rope. Poor guy is out of stock of just about everything lol.
cervinjpd Back in stock with most gear!
Looks like the 3 link is holding up
I’d like to see all the new and unusual Jeep jk unlimited Accesories. Anything new that helps or works.
Does the super chip actually improve acceleration when paired with cold air intake/snorkel package and muscrawler cat back exhaust? So rockslide engineering auto steps work? New Jeep interior mods, JL stealthbox speaker quality, hardtop retractable roof, is 37” with 20s on it still viable off-roading, new displays, dual battery setups...etc
That x2 needs a front locker. Or needs to use it if they have one.
When the ruts are so deeply grooved in you have to have 40s it's time for trial maintenance. If that's a private park the owners need to scrape that down a bit.
I would be interested in some of the rides this year when you plan a group ride, let me know when thanks
How are those Vision Wheels holding up?
Those Geolandars are made for conditions like those. They appeared to be working well for you.
They were perfect in this mud/rock, couldn’t ask for more
Is the new bestop fabric easy to clean mud off
Got rid of my JKU and went with the Overland Gladiator... Living in NW FL, not a lot of good places to offload.
Jeep gear and gadgets When you guys coming back to windrock I'd like to maybe wheel with you guys if you come up.. my zukicon lol or my jk probably both
How are you liking the 3 link setup?
Let me know the next time you want to hit windrock again I would love to wheel with you
When will there be a group ride?
