When I bought my JT, I consulted a "friend of a friend" (Rick Pewe). He said "it's simple" - that if I wanted to go fast in the dez, buy the Mojave. If I wanted to crawl over nasty $#!@ to get where I wanted to get to, buy a Rubicon. I ended up with the Rubicon. Super happy with my choice...
I've gotten the official notice from FCA US. Haven't bothered to read it yet. I'm not really worried, and will "get around to it" when it's convenient.
My biggest "issue" is that I've managed to avoid the dealer for 3 years after buying it new. It's got a taser hooked up, and I don't really...
JT Rubicon, 4.10s, Clayton 2.5 (really 3-3.5) lift, 35" Toyo Open Country AT3's. Love the look, the drive, and rarely scrape out on the moderate trails. If you're doing difficult to harder trails, why a Gladiator? You're going to have to put a LOT more $$$$ into it to make it perform in those...
Tried multiple times over the 3rd and 4th. It was a FAIL. Every....single.....time. Jeep has seriously dropped the ball with this app. Could have been great, but it's been a failure for me every time except once. Hey, I got a single badge though a couple of years ago. LOL
As of this...
Significantly cheaper than Rotopax. Better made. GREAT vent. Came with both FAST nozzle (which is what initially attracted me), as well as the CA compliant nozzle - which immediately met my trash can.

As soon as I received one, I immediately bought a...
I agree on the "wheeling in AZ". LOVE it!!! I was referring to riding off-road motorcycles in AZ - especially up in the mountains where I live. Anytime you can see elevation change - either up or down - it can get pretty brutal, pretty fast. For an old man, it can take a lot of stamina...
I hear ya... AZ can be BRUTAL. Rocks upon rocks upon rocks. Coming from CA, it caught me offguard. So much so that I left dirt biking behind, and moved to Jeeps cause the trails are really not suited for 2 wheels (in great part).
I'm sorry for your experience. I learned early on with dirt...
I don't normally go that low, but I'd be confident you'll have no problems. I've seen videos with the bead grips well below 10PSI and they were fine. The Beadgrips are fantastic - I love em. I think the only "issue" might be if you're throwing the truck sideways at speed in deep sand. Then I...
Via helicopter?? heh heh. 127 ends at a cliff - zero opportunities for any way down to the south as it's on foot only via wilderness hiking trail. Old Perkinsville (FS354?) is rough and has a bad washout last time I was there, but is probably doable from either S to N or N to S. Haven't been...
FYI - Ol' 127 is only accessable from the top of the plateau. Not the bottom unfortunately. Also, the view to the ruins we mentioned above is just barely blocked when you get to the end of 127. Still, a wonderful overlook overall.
I hope you're right on the ruins access. Yeah, used to be...
Yup. Those are them. The USFS has sort of limited / changed access. Or at least they were implementing changes before they got DOGE'd. I hesitate to think what is going to happen to these ruins now that they are more publicly "advertised" by the USFS.
Have you been up on the rim and done the...
