I did something similar! This was from 2020... there are a few more badges on there now... but I had 2 Jeeps and put them on the Jeep I did the trail in!

I'm running the EVO 2.5 plushride in the front with a .75 inch spacer... 4.5 EVO HD plushrides in the rear... This makes it sit level when I'm fully loaded on the trail with rtt,topper, all the equipment and camping stuff. When empty it sits at a rake very similar to the stock rake. But I love...

We have had really good falls for 3 years! That's about to end... lol. But I like winter too...

Jeep has been working great. Not a new thing added to it until recently... had an awning built that just clips on... made of boat cover fabric and double stiched. reversable... it has endured some wild storms! It wraps the rear as well.

One from our hunting trip... sunrise.

I added the Apex steering boost kit, all new fluid. It really does well with 37's.... not sure what it would do with 40's... but it significantly adds to the steering control in contested situations- lol. I am running at about 1750- you can boost to 2000- stock is 1200? If you do your labor...

Yep... its a daily driver

15 min from my house this fall with the comet...

pics at the lake...

Yes... and admitfully this was all coming downhill with gravity on our side. Going up does seem to make more noise. Montana doesn't have a Fordyce Creek trail... at least not as a natural trail. We do have parks and private places to push your Jeeps on man made stuff. Probably the one thing that...

It has a couple of deep mud holes, and about 6 miles of rocks like this... beautiful sub-alpine lakes at the top!

Not a lot... but there are several that I would say are a 6 or 7 rated trail. We have a lot of 3-5 rated trails... and 1000's of miles of gravel and dirt roads. If a trail is rated higher than that it is from danger- being on the edge of a cliff and that sort of thing. Most of the hardest trails...

Ok... this is a short video, no soundtrack after the intro. Just trail sounds... the joy of listening to two Jeep Gladiators on one of Montana's hardest natural trails. (This is a non-maintained forest service road- no man made stuff like an offroad park). The video has no narration, just clips...

Oh... the first press I rented from Oreiley's- it had a stress fracture (I just thought it was paint or something). Pressed one ball joint out- and on the second ball joint the press snapped off inside the clamp! It just started to move the ball joint down. In the picture its offset because I...

I also had some spare time earlier this winter... I love my topper so much that I replaced both sides will a single sheet of HDPE (it was chopped up and moved around over the last few years to get it just right. Now that I'm totally settled on it- I bought one full sheet had it water cut, and...
