Man, that looks awesome. Love the pics. What caused the spark plug issue and had you get towed?
I don't know what caused it. Maybe someone else can speculate. Maybe just a bad plug? We were running up a hill on a highway at higher RPMs when it happened.

We were in Barstow, California which is a crappy area. We were just heading straight back home. Ran down to Palm Springs instead of staying in Barstow and were "stuck" in a Margaritaville resort for nine days while the dealership looked at it. :LOL: When I saw the plug I figured there was at least valve damage (the exhaust valve was shot) and possibly cylinder damage. At that point we got a service to take it back to Florida and we got a rental. The local dealership fixed it under warranty.

Great pics! Could you PM me any details about this trip? My wife bought me a Gladiator just before my return from a 2 year deployment. I would love to do something like this.

What a great Gladiator year! Two main trips from Florida to California and back. Despite one mechanical issue I love this Jeep.

Just looking through my phone at pics from this year. Thought I would share some of them.

Hell yeah!!!

Too funny, as I'm browsing this thread we're getting ready to set up our FL place near in Sarasota (we're back and forth between PHX and there). The distillery is one of the first places on our list haha.

We hit Sand Hollow this year as well. Lots of fun in the sand but I had a damaged wheel speed sensor. Didn't have lockers. We were just passing through so I waited until later to fix it.
