I absolutely recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
That is hilarious. 10/10 on the Kid Rock scale
. I was supposed to go up there Saturday after my EJS run but was kinda done after 6 days of hitting it hard. What ended up being your favorite trail? My neighbor took his red Gladiator on Poison Spider yesterday, ended up doing Golden Spike, Gold Rim and Where Eagles Dare. Gave me shit for doing Fins and Things with another group lol. He said the Gladiator showed up folks on a number of obstacles.
We ran 'The Trifecta' on Wednesday. So, Poison Spider, Golden Spike and Gold Rim. That was definitely my favorite day of the trip. There was a handful of real deal obstacles and the views were incredible. IMO the view of Moab from on top of Gold Rim is better than the view from Top Of The World and the wheeling is WAY better than Top Of The World.That is hilarious. 10/10 on the Kid Rock scale
Yep. Some wrangler people shake their heads if we need to do a y turn sometimes, they we do climbs without a tire chirp while the two doors throttle up and try not to tip over backwards.We ran 'The Trifecta' on Wednesday.

There was a rollover on the waterfall on Golden Spike right before we went up it... the Gladiator just walked right up it with no problem though.
As far as the Gladiator showing people up on certain obstacles, he's absolutely correct. I was with a group of JTs that are all on 42"+ tires, one tons, 16" travel coilovers and full custom 4-links front and rear and I wheeled right alongside them all week. The wheelbase of the Gladiator REALLY made certain obstacles easy and I only remember one spot where I said, this isn't going to happen and had to back down and take a different line.
They aren’t perfect, but the JT is a real Jeep all day long.
Exactly! Upchuck everybody was rough for two doors especially. Lot of high rev and spinning the tires trying to hook up. A CJ ended up spitting out its driveline because of it. Me and my buddies Gladiators walked right up. The wheelbase let us take a different line.Yep.

Dang you hit it hard! Good shot of the rig btw. What suspension setup are you running?We ran 'The Trifecta' on Wednesday. So, Poison Spider, Golden Spike and Gold Rim.

Wow. Where did you set it down to dent it that much?Dang you hit it hard! Good shot of the rig btw. What suspension setup are you running?
My neighbor said the same thing about waterfall. I hope to do those trails next year. My rock slide step sliders were already bent up after first day out. Got the armor plating on order hope it comes before next EJS
It took a bunch of hits in that one spot. A lot of sliding on them too. The first big hit was on Wipe Out Hill there is a big drop and all the sliders were taking abuse. The metal is kinda thin stock so with out having the armor kit its common to see damage like this. Knew it coming in so I took it “easy”
Damn. I’ve been out there and barely scratched them, so far. But usually the frame skids hit first.It took a bunch of hits in that one spot. A lot of sliding on them too.

Thank you, sir!
