Take Back Utah protects access to our public lands and defends the freedom of all American’s to explore and experience America’s Wild Places, while preserving America’s small town economies and rural lifestyles through responsible land use.

Last year, 4000 outdoor enthusiasts and multiple users of public land from around the country gathered in Salt Lake to march on the capitol in protest of land restrictions placed on Utah’s public lands by the federal government. The protest ignited a string of events that has changed the course and direction of local and state leaders regarding the importance of public land access in the state.

If you have always wanted to be a part of something or make a difference in your quality of life, then you need to be sure to attend this FREE event.

The time has past when it was sufficient for you to simply work your job, attend to your family, and participate in church and local civic functions. If those of you who care about public land and its management want to see positive change then you MUST become involved now. If you care about the direction of this country you cannot ignore the need for you to do more. We all MUST be active citizens. We need you to step up and come to this event. Your attendance WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Commit to attending and then spread the word and get ALL YOU CAN to do the same. PLEASE take this appeal for your attendance seriously. Please come and unite your voice with all of ours.

All of the available TeraFlex Staff will be at this critical event. Please make sure that you are there too!

We got a call from John a couple of months ago, and he wanted an extreme update to his 2-door JK. After a consultation with him, we figured we had enough information to put together an awesome build that would allow the Jeep to handle anything from Oregon’s I-5 to California’s Johnson Valley.

A plan was set, and the Jeep was delivered. Bob, Ben, and Jason took over from there. The Jeep was gutted from the frame down, and the slow process of rebuilding began.
It might not seem like one of the biggest builds, but with such a unique suspension design, geometry and handling was very important. Several days were dedicated to the process of figuring the major suspension areas – including virtual reaction point, roll center, center of gravity, and up/down travel.

Bob’s fabrication skills were put to work with over 160 hours of detailed effort. The Jeep doesn’t look like it has that much into it, and that is precisely the point – it is a sleeper. The 37″ BFG tires, and the Walker Beadlock wheels are the only hint of the true machine that lies beneath the steel blue shell.

Once the 5.7L Hemi engine is fired up and the Jeep is put in gear, you know that this is not any ordinary 2 door. A quick blip of the throttle and you are set back in your seat, the Fox Coilovers soak up everything in your path, and the SpeedBump bumpstops and swaybars keep all four tires on the tarmac. Once off-road, the Jeep settles in to it’s real duties and starts looking for the biggest obstacles it can find. Truth be told, we didn’t have too much time behind the wheel before John took it off our hands to go thrash it on a 3-week Colorado trip. From all reports, this project was a huge success – and Bob can now catch up on some well needed sleep!

Check out the specs below to see everything that makes this a true sleeper.

Where: San Rafael Swell, Utah

This is going to be an overnight trip for those who want to tag along!  We’ll be leaving the TeraFlex PLUS Showroom at noon on Friday the 11th and heading down.

Directions:

Head to Price, once there take Highway 10 to Huntington, take the exit to Castle Dale.  Head East on EM401 towards the “Wedge Overlook”, we’ll be staying at the Wedge Overlook Campground.  I’ll get the GPS coordinates posted as soon as I get them.

We have maps of the swell in the showroom for those of you that would like to pick one up.  Stop by and ask the guys at the desk.

For those of you not wanting to stay overnight we’ll be leaving camp at 9:00am.  It’s only ~2 hour drive down there so if you’d like to meet up with us Saturday morning let one of our guys in the showroom know and we’ll get you in contact with Dennis.  There was cell service at the campground last year so we’ll have no problem meeting up.

Hit us up with any questions!  We hope to see you all down there!

The morning started out pretty cold and wet, but that didn’t stop any of the hard-core Jeepers from heading out to the show! By the time the show got underway we had 62 registered entries and tons of spectators along for the ride! The competition started out by everyone filing through the Off-Road Course at the speed way. The track started with a series of whoops and then banked left to an intense rock pit. The pit was a challenge for many vehicle and it turns out it was a great place to get some awesome flex shots! Luckily no one’s rig was seriously injured in the pit but we had a few close calls, which just makes it that much more fun!

After the pit contestants went up a steep hill climb and back down the other side. This was pretty tricky with it being so steep, and if you weren’t in 4 Low to begin with chances were that you ended up rolling back down the hill and ended up shifting down. After the hill it was over to the RTI Ramp to measure articulation. There were tons of awesome Jeeps with some greaty RTI scores, nevertheless, Rawlin McGhie with his sweet custom-buddy build won the RTI challenge with an amazing score of 958! Nicely done Rawlin!

It took quite a while to get all the rigs through the track, and a few guys even decided to go two or three times. When we weren’t on the track, there were plenty of vendors to talk to. The Utah 4 Wheel Drive Association, Ideal OffRoad, Portal RV/Sorenson & Co., Amzoil, Miller, Novak Adapters, Expedition One, just to name a few! Food and drinks were available, and of course, lots of other Jeep enthusiasts to mingle with!

After the track quieted down, it was awards time! Winners were chosen from several different categories and types. Here’s a list of the winners:

Congrats to all of this year’s All Jeep Show winners! We had a lot of excellent looking rigs!

Along with the All Jeep Show we had a raffle for the benefit of U4WDA. All proceeds from the tickets went towards the group. Hats, shirts, SpeedBump Bumpstops and even a winch were raffled off. Thanks to everyone who participated in the raffle! Remember the ‘Take Back Utah’ parade and rally at the capital on August 28th.

Overall, it was a great success! Thanks to everyone for coming out, despite the cold temps! Thanks again to all of our vendors and Mill Motorsports Park for making the show possible! We can’t wait to see you next year!
