You can read the write ups and the difficulty rating on each trail in the Jeep badge of honor app. I'm on 38's, 3.5" lift and full skids. Rubicon package so lockers, 4.00:1 T-case and sway bar disco. Some of these trails could be done stock I guess but you would drag everything underneath it. Some 35's and a 2.5" would be about right. Better have your game face on for Huckleberry though.

thanks for the info very helpful guess I better start spending some money. Novice so need to find some guys to wheel with to learn before I go.

Buddy system is great. A spotter can see what you can’t and make a hard trail easy.

Love the pictures! We live not too far from you, over in Benton, LA. Maybe sometime we could go on a trail ride together.

What an amazing trip! Especially liked the Canyon Lands photos and hiking trails. Impressive fuel economy with the big tires and all the gear.

Total miles and fuel economy for the trip.

I'll have to assume diesel, makes me want one on 38's even more

Yes sir, diesel. I will add that I am still running factory 3.73 gears and my rig loaded is over 6,000 #'s

First stop was at the Albuquerque KOA. Uneventful but that is a good thing. Next morning we headed west to Petrified National Forest. Beautiful sights.

A white miniature schnauzer!

We had one, but she died about a month and a half ago. She was a good girl.

Her name is Ruby. I think my wife would choose her over me. I’m sorry to hear about you losing her. Dogs are truly part of the family.
That last pic was after we first got her. We were taking my wife’s new 2020 JL Rubicon to Silverton CO for a week and she is sitting on our sleeping bag. Her first Jeep trip.

Thanks for sharing! Would you do it again?

 

[Jteakus]

I sure would. I try to go to Moab at least once a year. If you are coming from the East Silverton, CO. Is an INCREDIBLE place to have a Jeep

Lower left corner looks like they had a Jeep on Fins 'n Things!

Great trip. I have been to all these places, but Merus! Now I am ready to go back, and go to Merus!

How am I gonna top this?
Arctic Circle, hmmmm.

How long do you think it would take to complete a trip to the Arctic Circle? My wife and I don't work in June and July, so we could take 5 weeks off, which is kind of what I was thinking for that type of trip.

I did it last year .. Baton Rouge to Tuktoyuktuk, Canada ( Arctic Ocean) .. I took 3 weeks to get there and 5 weeks back through Alaska. You can view my trip post on Instagram @ Geaux.gcrad
6 weeks is doable but to do it right 8-10 weeks and visit Alaska/Canada !
I slept on top of Gladiator in RTT for 55 of the 59 days I was gone.
bucket list trip for sure
