NorCal Gladiator Folk?

[Fcmalie]

New member, active on a few other forums a long time ago before life got busy with kids, family, etc. Located in Ripon (near Modesto, Central Valley). Bought my 2021 Gladiator in July with 8500 miles. Second Jeep I’ve owned now. Previously I had a 1994 XJ for about 10 years, biggest claim to fame with that rig was completing Slick Rock with 32”s and a budget, and I mean budget 4.5” lift, that and 250k miles when I sold it.
Really digging this truck so far. Took it up to Crater Lake towing my VTW off-road teardrop trailer for Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to getting off-road and enjoying the fresh air.

Hey welcome to the forum, pretty sure I've seen your truck around town.

I'm in Concord, too. I'm surprised that I haven't seen you around. You have a really nice Gladiator!

Oh sweet. We should meet up sometime.

My days off are always rotating so that will work for me.

I would be down to go as well, I have weekends off, I would just need some notice to arrange childcare.

I did Knoxville OHV Park in September. Did Devilhead Road, a pretty easy trail for the Gladiator. Would love to go back and do some more exploring...

Sounds interesting. I have not heard of it before so news to me.

How long did it take you to complete your route in and out?

Took about an hour with some stopping to enjoy some of the view.

I need to check it out!

How do you feel a full size truck would do out there? My buddy wants to take his Ram out with me and my Gladiator but I'm not sure which trails would fit that thing.

Devilhead is a very easy trail and when I did it in September the Gladiator could have easily have completed it in two wheel drive. Not challenging at all but nice to get out and get the Jeep dirty.

We go now might be nice and muddy ?

but there’s another group trying to gather up for a NorCal snow trail run on Dec 26th
