2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari Highlights
Inspite of all the headaches, I can honestly say that going is always worth the trouble and, being able to go this year in my brand new 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited certainly made it the best trip out to Moab yet.
2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari - Vendor Show
As some of you may recall, I was invited by Full Traction Suspension to have my Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited shown at their display at the 2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari Vendor Show. And, as you can imagine, my whole day 4 here in Moab was pretty much shot as far as wheeling is concerned. But, I have to be honest and say that being stuck all day at a show like this wasn’t necessarily without its perks. In fact, once I was able to get over the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to go wheeling (even though the landscape and trails have a way of calling to you like a siren song), I was able to use this opportunity to get a real close up look at all the new hooked up Jeep JK Wranglers (many of which I had not seen before and the most I have seen since SEMA 2006), talk to the manufacturers at length about their products and of course, take a ton of pics for all of you to drool over back at home.
2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari Day 3
Canyonlands Colorado River Overlook Trail
After wheeling hard for two days in a row, we decided to change things up a little today, sleep in, have some breakfast in town and then do a nice easy run in the Canyonlands National Park with some friends of ours. This is an area around Moab that I had always read about and had always wanted to see but have always been too busy going on orgainzed trail runs and playing on harder obsticals to really take in some of the awesome sights around here. Anyway, the specific trail we ran was one that takes you out to the Colorado River Overlook and man, is it ever a beautiful drive with an absolutely breath taking view at the end of it. And, fortunately for us, we just happen to come at a time where even the drive out to the trail head was covered with vast fields of stunning (but stinky) lavender flowers surrounded by impressive red rock canyon walls.
2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari Day 2
Primedia Event & Metal Masher Trail Run
Our plan for day two of our 2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari was to hook up with Dave (aka - JK-Forum moderator papabear) bright and early in the morning and then run Metal Masher. But, as things always seem to change on the fly around here, we ended up making a stop over at the Primedia Event at Area BFE first and man, am I ever glad that I did... ...With work out of the way, it was time for us to have some real fun! Although I have been to Moab before, I still have yet to even scratch the surface when it comes to all the awesome trails this great place has to offer. Need I say, this was my first time running Metal Masher and admittedly, I'm always a bit leary about running a "difficult" rated trail that I've never been on before especially when it's in a brand new vehicle with little to no parts available for it in the event of a break.
2007 MOAB Easter Jeep Safari
The Rock 4 Event at Area BFE
Well boys and girls, after driving 750 miles and 14 hours later, we finally arrived here in Moab, Utah late Sunday night and just in time to catch a quick dinner over at Eddie McStiffs, check in, unpack and then catch a few hours of sleep before the fun begins. Bright and early Monday morning, we headed out to Area BFE to participate in the The Rock 4 event which is put on annually by Superior Axle & Gear, Full Traction Suspension and Toyo Tires. Of the two trails being offered up for the day, Minor Threat and Green Day, we decided to do the latter as this is the trail we ran the year before in our 6" Full Traction Long Arm lifted TJ and we wanted to see how our 3" Full Traction Ultimate lifted JK would stand up to the same terrain. And, need I say, I absolutely LOVE the JK - this thing simply kicks ass!!!
Off to Moab
Ok, I know I have been missing in action for a while now, and for those of you who have been wanting to know where I’ve been, well… I’ve been running around like crazy trying to keep up with work and get ready for the 2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari. Specifically, we have been invited by Full Traction Suspension to display our Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited at their booth at the EJS Show. And, before we could be put on display, we had to first outfit our Jeep in the appropriate attire. In other words, we’ve been busy installing a Full Traction 3” Ultimate Suspension Lift, PUREJEEP Crawler Stubby Front Winch Bumper, and PUREJEEP Crawler Rear Bumper Tire Carrier. Fortunately, we were able to get everything installed, but just in the nick of time (just finished last night at 2am) as we are now on the road to Moab.

2007 Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari Show
Well, I just got back from the 44th Annual Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari and in addition to the real show stoppers you'd expect to see there like Off Road Evolution's Silver JK Sahara Unlimited, TeraFlex's Red Rock Crystal JK Rubicon Unlimited and Rubicon Express' Silver JK Rubicon 2-Door (which by the way had a cool new heavy duty steering system), I thought I should tell you that I did come across two other new JK's that really caught my eye. The first JK was the 4 Wheel Drive Hardware/ProComp giveaway Silver JK Unlimited X and the other was Rock Hard 4x4 Parts Flame Red JK Rubicon Unlimited.

The Jeepillac - Off Road Evolution’s Building of a Beast
When I first heard that DC was going to build a 2WD Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, the first thought that came to my head was sacralige! But then, I got to start thinking about how much cheaper a 2WD model was versus say, a fully loaded Rubicon, and then I got to start thinking... what if you took the money you saved going this route and then turned around and used it to swap in a set of bigger badder axles front and rear, add an Atlas Transfer Case, coil overs and God only knows what else.
The Wait is Finally Over!!
I swear, there were times when I honestly thought that hell would freeze over before we got it, but, after waiting patiently for over six long months (okay, okay, maybe not so patiently but that's beside the point), my wife and I were finally able to pickup our brand new 2007 White Stone Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimted from Don-A-Vee Jeep in Placentia, California and bring her home - YIPPIE!!
Jeep JK Wrangler Technical Service Bulletins (TSB)

The Ultimate E-Ticket Ride!!
Last week, Off Road Evolution decided to put their brand new 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Sahara to the test by driving it over 1,700 miles to visit family in Missouri, play hard at Disney, Oklahoma, and then drive it all the way back to their home in sunny southern California. Now, just so that we're all on the same page here, we're talking about driving a JK Unlimited automatic that's been lifted with a Full Traction 4" Ultimate short arm kit, is sitting on top of 37" Toyo Open Country A/T's and is running J.E. Reel Drivelines but is otherwise stock when it comes to its drivetrain. It's still running a stock Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles, stock gears, no lockers and it only has a 2.72:1 Command Track transfer case. And, aside from the over-drive being rendered completely useless due to the 37's and being pulled over by a cop once just so he could get a better look at this awesome JK, Mel tells me that it drove great, rode great and even performed way better than he thought it would on and off the trail.
Rock Solid Protection
If you're a big fan of RockCrusher differential covers like I am, you'll be happy to know that they'll soon be available for the new 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler and with the only difference being a change in their name. Below is the official statement that Solid Axle Industries, LLC recently released:
Bestop 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler
Soft Tops, Hard Tops & Accessories
I just got word today that Bestop now has a majority of their 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler parts and accessories available for sale. Granted, most of these products are pretty much what you'd expect to see from Bestop, such as a Bikini Top and a Sailcloth Replace-a-Top but there are a couple new things I thought would be worth mentioning.
PUREJEEP Jeep JK Wrangler Bumpers Priced Right
If you're one of the many people who just love the new PUREJEEP Crawler front and rear bumpers but think they're going to be out of the reach of your wallet, think again!
You Want It? You Got It!
Over the past week and a half, I had been getting a lot of people asking if I could get my hands on some real world flex shots of a hooked up Jeep JK Wrangler and if at all possible, flex shots on the trail. No more photochopped JK's and no more JK's looking pretty on the pavement - they wanted to see the real thing.
Jeep JK Photos from the 2006 Off Road Expo
If you haven't seen them already, I just uploaded a bunch of Jeep JK Wrangler pics from the 2006 Off Road Expo and they can now be seen in the Project-JK photo gallery. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say there weren't nearly as many Jeep JK Wranglers at the show as I was expecting to see, especially in lieu of the fact that several manufacturers on display there had already released products for it.
