  1. Beefier towing rig

    I believe the CP4 is in the Powerstroke, Duramax and Cummins (just googled that to confirm)? Re: the transmission questions, I think a quick call to a transmission shop wouldn't hurt? I was under the impression the 8 and 10 speed transmissions were pretty solid but honestly don't know. Just...
  2. Beefier towing rig

    You'll get every opinion under the sun. Ford vs GM vs Dodge. Gas vs Diesel.... Go drive some 1 ton trucks. Anything 5 years or newer will take care of two rigs on a trailer. I've hauled two rigs on a trailer the past 15 years. I like the lighter weight of the bumper pull trailers (I've had...
  3. Maryland to Moab in May 2023

    Grab the Charles Wells book and maybe use your favorite GPS based mapping tool. I would bet you're fine on any 6 rated trail just due to having lockers. Your belly height will be an issue but you sound prepared for that. If the 6 trails aren't freaking you or your wife out, a few of the 7...
  4. Maryland to Moab in May 2023

    Here's a couple other threads. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/moab-trails.67154/#post-1101787 https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/anyone-going-to-moab-in-april-for-ejs.66418/#post-1090275...
  5. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Backwards Bill and 7 Mile rim yesterday.
  6. Gearing for Gladiator EcoDiesel

    I am down the hill and just a little north (Bountiful). I'm not sure I'm considering the 39" tires but it is tempting every morning as the Jeep they are on is just sitting. I'm with you on the axle strength. I do know a couple of folks running 39-40" on stock axles but am not sure it's for me...
  7. Gearing for Gladiator EcoDiesel

    I'm just 4000' down the hill from you. Interesting that you pipe in as I have a set of KM3 on my trail Jeep that I keep trying to put on my JT that's on Mickey Thompson 37" MTZ. It sounds like we have a similar build except I'm on stock axles and the 3.73 gears. I'm in 8th gear all the time...
  8. Moab trails

    Stay hydrated and you'll get through the heat/weather. A great hydration barometer is if you need to pee. Sometimes you'll get a rare rain storm sighting in late summer. Those are beyond interesting and incredible. Find some high ground and watch nature kick ass. Did I mention that you'll...
  9. Moab trails

    I would estimate you are good to go on anything 5 or 6 rated (out of 10) in the Red Rock 4 Wheelers trail book. https://www.rr4w.com/trail-grid-example.cfm https://www.rr4w.com/Trails-Home.cfm Depending on your experience, start with a warm up on a 3-5 rated trail. If you're comfortable/bored...
  10. Gladiator Expedition Rigs

    @Mules , how are you tieing those boxes down in your bed? After receiving these last week, I'm struggling to find a use for these in my JT. These are just a little tall stacked 2 high to use my stock tonneau cover. I'm not sure if these are the right solution for me but I'm not ruling them out...
  11. I Love Winter... Post Your Snow Pics ❄️ ?

    We certainly don't have winter like that in Utah. :D Looks amazing!
  12. Gladiator Expedition Rigs

    That's an excellent height. I just snagged a couple
  13. Shit happens. Gladiator recovery on Golden Spike Trail (due to broken front track bar)

    Looks too heavily frosted for me to want a piece.
  14. Shit happens. Gladiator recovery on Golden Spike Trail (due to broken front track bar)

    Rusty Nail is a GREAT trail! Not likely to have my JT with 37" on it anytime soon I didn't see "TrailMater" in that video? I thought that was his buggy. He left the wrecker at the shop unless I missed something
  15. EJS 2023, What'd ya pick?

    I am. I totally understand why people don't run the sanctioned runs. If I were trying to avoid those I'd go at a totally different time than EJS (and do myself pretty regularly). Basically the events/runs by the RR4W club are held in close cooperation with the BLM. As a volunteer, we are...
  16. Anyone going to Moab in April for EJS?

    Are you trying to stay at a campground? A lot of accommodations book within a week after Jeep Safari for the next year. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some campsites available somewhere but I honestly think you'll be using the phone a bit to find something?
  17. Gladiator Off-road Capability

    I went from this setup (1 ton axles, TBI 350, 39" BFG, bla, blah, blah) trail rig to my JT. I knew the JT would be a "compromise" but I havent' used my "trail" Jeep to it's potential for 8-10 years except for a 1-2 day bout per year. It was mostly on Moab trails some St George UT stuff and...
  18. Anyone going to Moab in April for EJS?
