Checking in from Birmingham, as well. Picked up a used JTR LE on Wednesday! Long term plans include a winch, bed rack, and something to hook up to all these aux switches. For now, I'm happy with the 315s. Excited to be back in Jeep

Hello all,

I’m Derek, Gardendale, so basically Birmingham if you aren’t local. My ‘20 Sport S is my first Jeep, and I know nothing about off roading but we all start somewhere huh? I’ve been real hesitant to try any trails as I feel like going solo is never a good idea, always have to have your battle buddy (my Army buddies will know that). Would love to meet some fellow minded Gladiator owners in the area.

btw- I feel like this has to be said in this day and age, if you get offended by people not wearing a mask then we probably won’t get along.

Welcome to the "club" a small reminder is to remember that when your off-roading what you bust you get to fix. "Keeping up with the Jones" don't make it all fun and games. When you have a over built vehicle mild trails are boring then you might get in over experience level trails before you really know how vehicle works. So you might not want to just start throwing mods on until you find out what you need / want for your JT. I've been driving Jeeps since I got home from Desert Storm. With years of 4×4 driving before too.

Just a tip for anyone looking to check out NFR 600-2 in Talladega National Forest. Some of the online reviews noted stock vehicles could make it. I went through it today and though I didn’t have any issues, it was badly washed out on the southern end of the trail climbing towards cheaha. There were breaks and washes probably over 18 inches deep in some sections and the wet spots were deeply rutted. It would take a spotter and patience to get thru that section with a stock ride height vehicle. What was fun on 37s and 4 inches of lift would probably high center a stock pickup today.

just a PSA if you head thru there. I did 600-1 and 600-2 today solo, most of it is a breeze, easy forest roads. Just watch the ascent.

I may be working in Huntsville for a few months this year. Please shoot me opinions of trails within driving distance of Huntsville.
