Not done yet but first solid camping and wheeling trip since I bought the new to me '24 JTR back at the end of March.
Towed our Flagstaff 206STSE 'off-road' pop-up from our home near Wichita to Table Rock Lake on Wednesday June 10th for the 3rd annual Jeep Branson event (our first time at this...
Took it wheeling at TexPlex at Fox Creek Park, about 20 minutes from campground at Table Rock - good mix of terrain from easy to rock gardens, wet trails and steep climbs descents. Didn't get any action shots but here is the 'after' photo.
Had 2 solid skid plate hits, one rock rail hit...

Drove out to a couple state parks within an hour or so from home this weekend to scope out campsites for future outings, ended up taking a couple nice pics - have had this new-to-me '24 JTR for about a month, really enjoying it as a replacement for my '10 JKUR.
Just got this '24 Gladiator Rubicon 2 weeks ago (13,300 miles), moved my 315/70R17 Firestone Destination MT2's from my old JKU Rubicon, tested the towing performance today with our Flagstaff 1910 ESP and a new bluetooth trailer brake controller - everything is good except for fuel mileage (15.5...
