Default stock videos on famous trails?

I admit it, I'm a HUGE fan of the project-jk videos! But one thing is missing, video's that show stock JK's on some of the famous trails in America. The Rubicon model was named after the famous trail, but I can't seem to find any video's of stock JK Rubicons on that famous trail. I did find a cool video on youtube showing Vintage Rubicon Trail Jeepers Jamboree (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vov-IPy_6NM).
I understand that with big trails comes the apitite for big jeeps, but I know for a fact just how capable the JK is out of the box, especially the Rubicon. Anyone have footage to back me up? Let's see it here! After all, project-jk is for all JK's right?

Great video.

There was a video shown here (in norcal) on one of the news channels of them doing the rubicon in stock JK Unlimited Rubicons. They made it through just fine fromt he looks of the video. Although they made liberal use of the skid plates and rails.

Let me see if I can find the video.

That was a cool video. Nothing but a big grin on my face.

Amazing....thousand of $$$$ in ours and then you see this.

I wish I had technical video talent to make a video.

It would be cool to make a compilation of this vintage footage, mixed with current footage. Then at the end of the compilation a split screen scene with the antique footage with people standing on the left with a VERY similar pose with the JK and the same number of people in the same pose on the right!

Just an idea
