On the road to Texas for the move. Stopped at Amarillo for first night, had a flat on the trailer right at the hotel. The JT barely fits on the transport trailer, but with tires larger than 35", it won't fit.

Nope, road debris near the hotel, area was under construction.

McAllen, almost as far south as you can get. About an hour West of South Padre Island.

Hello all,

My rubicon came with 37s and i am unsure if there was a regear done or not. So first question is, how can i check to see what im running?

My second question is, and it may answer the first, is that I borrowed a buddy's camper and i felt the truck searching for gears on the slightest of inclines. With surface level research, I believe it's because I'm towing on bigger tires/lift with stock gears. Does this sound right?

3rd question, i know altitude plays its part in the mechanics of it all, in that case, what would be people's recommendations of gear ratio, brand, shops that would install in the front range?

Some info to know, this is my daily driver, city and highway. I go to the mountains often. I will be using a camping trailer in the near future for (I hope) many trips.

appreciate any help

Sending you a pm. I use mine in exactly this way, including the trailer.

Figured I'd post an intro on here

Picked up my first Jeep about a month ago, 2021 JTR in Sting Grey. I'm in Northern Colorado & new to technical offroading. If you see me on the easy trails, stop and say hi!

Pic from this weekend near the sand dunes.

I think a lot of people miss zapata falls when they visit the sand dunes. It’s a short hike with a refreshing treat at the end.

Crestone is a cool little town and worth the stop.

And joyful journey is the hot springs bargain of Colorado… nothing fancy for sure, but hot water and a great view.

Anyone stayed in Penitente Canyon Campground? Thoughts?

It’s near Del Norte -ish.
