I also experimented with the speed select feature (or whatever it’s called) and found it quite unnerving. The Jeep crawls along on its own with your only control being the steering.
The trails are on a private ranch south of LLano and west of Highway 16. It’s near Enchanted Rock and has the same type of terrain. It also reminds me of Inks Lake State Park and some of the hiking trails there. Jeep Jamboree also used this same venue earlier this year and will likely go...
I just stumbled across a thread in this forum early in March that listed the dates and locations. I figured they would fill up pretty quickly, so I picked a date and signed up.
There were a couple dozen Jeeps (split across two groups) and I think at least half were JTs. I may have been in the minority without a winch and now, of course, I need to add that to my wish list again. I more fully appreciate the benefits of bigger tires and lifts, as the rear end of my...

I realize there are other threads on the Jeep Adventure Academy, but decided to start a new one showing some of the trails at the Llano, Texas event yesterday. The event organization was excellent, the trails were fun, and the participants (including the visiting horses) were friendly.
Looking at the schedule for April, there is a listing for Llano, but I’m trying to figure out what the venue is. Wolf Caves is west of Mason and Hidden Falls is the other direction in Marble Falls. I sent a request to the organizers for clarification on the schedule. Assuming it is around a...
I discovered yesterday that if I could get out of my driveway and out to the main road, the Gladiator would do okay. I was surprised how well it handled the snow and ice--went on a 30 mile drive to get a COVID vaccine. We passed a lot of other vehicles (including Wranglers) that seemed to be...
I have been investigating aftermarket wheel options for the Gladiator, but I am concerned about adding extra weight. I have been searching for the weight of the stock polished Rubicon wheels (see photo). Does anyone have the weight of these wheels (w/o tires)?
