Thanks Redfish. I wasn't aware of that site. Those look like some awesome trails around there. I was looking on the OnX app for that area a few days ago, but the routes weren't as clearly laid out as they are on this website.
Thanks for the reply. I have indeed. I live 20 mins from the southern edge of the SCAR. So far I've done the first 100 miles or so here in the Francis Marion Forest. I went a few weeks after our late season hurricane and the mosquitos and horseflies were so bad you couldn't even roll down...
Hey Folks. I'm just getting back into overlanding after a long break and wondering how things have changed here on the East Coast, particularly the Southeast states over the past 10 years or so. I grew up in GA, travelled/ lived out west, and now moved back to SC. So how difficult is it find...
Definitely. In the Rubicon I lose approximately 1-2 mpg in 4H Auto. So I definitely switch back to 2H when the roads are mostly dry and its non-advantageous. I also like to switch into 4H Auto when its wet or on gravel to lube/exercise the front drive hub/system about once a month. I don't...
Too much for a piece of metal. Frankly the Rubicon and Mojave rails should have come standard with steps. But until there is a $30 solution, the wife and kids will just have to hop up
.
My only option is a trailer with the 18' Hobie Tandem Island kayak. But a trailer is pretty easy for launch and recovery of larger kayaks and something to consider. Plus it leaves the bed free for gear. Before I bought this trailer with sealed hubs, I had a cheap Harbor Freight trailer that I...
Ahh, the trim level debate continues. So why did I buy a Rubicon this time around vs Mojave or Sport? I've always bought sport model multiple times in the past because frankly its what I could afford and I'm cost conscious. I did a few upgrades on those sport models including tires, but...
We'll, another $.02... Over the past 40 years I've done a lot of car camping, back packing, RV camping, and some overland east coast, out west, and Alaska. I think the best set-up varies by how you are currently travelling and what works for you. I've never had a RTT, but can see how one...
Took the top and doors off for the first time and drove the family around town and to the beach and back. Kids loved it and said it was more fun than a golf cart. Bonus to having the top off was we unexpectedly spotted a Space-X rocket launch while returning home at sunset. Would have missed...
Ditto BB. I picked mine up Saturday. Maynard picked us up from the airport in a brand new Wagoneer for the 45 min ride to Gupton. Payment and handover process took about 30 mins. Easiest transaction ever. Paid cash, so no finance details to work out for me. Great experience. How...
Picked her up early Saturday morning at Gupton. In and out in 30 minutes. Best dealership experience ever. Flew the family up to Nashville and drove back go Charleston thru the mountains with a few stops including some white water rafting for the kids. She handled so well in all conditions...
Ditto on Patience. Took me three weeks to receive a confirmed response on an order inquiry with several emails. Maybe an issue with email servers back then, but retried with new emails and got thru. Small dealership offering a very fair deal. But as posted above, are doing a huge volume...
Nice photo KP. Thank you for posting. May be mine in the background with the matching roof. I'll be picking up in a few weeks and will try to snap some photos as well. Congratulations Gentlemen!
I think they have a team thing going. Despite initial comms attempts, I've never heard from Daniel, but did hear from Renee and Walter. Currently in comms with Renee to pickup my order in a few weeks. Very different from any vehicle purchase I've done in the past. No voice comms. But a fair...
Hi everyone. Thanks for sharing your information here. My status as of today shows my Gobi Rubicon was delivered to Gupton August 4th. Pretty quick delivery from the built date if those dates are accurate. Just emailed Renee, so hopefully will hear back soon so I can book an advance flight...
Shouldn't be an issue I'd imagine. Most of the nuts and bolts assembly is done by robots. And quality control should be the same. They have a certain target number they produce each day. Not sure about the shutdown to re-tool for the new model year mentioned earlier, but there doesn't appear...
I think the production timing partially depends on your options and any current part shortages. Although it seems Jeep is doing better than some of the other manufacturers. I was hoping to get the vehicle before the school year started back so I could fly the family up to Nashville and make a...
