Pinyon Mountain Trail completed.

[willemlock]

So we ran Pinyon Mountain Trail today and what an amazing trail. The scenery is absolutely stunning. I did however get some body damage but it was all worth it. The squeeze was just too narrow and hit my tray on the right hand side. We looked at all angles and lines and it would only “fit” one way. Anyway rest of the trail was amazing, the Gladiator handled heart attack hill like a champ. 4th badge completed now to find a decent body shop

I was looking at the Metalcloak bumper, but the Smittybilt keeps the OEM fog lamps tucked in closer while the Metalcloak relies on attachments on the outside of the bumper.

Yea my factory led spotlights bolted straight in with the supplied adapters on the Smittybilt. I’m a massive fan of their products, I run the smittybilt bumpers on my 47 Willys also.

Very courageous for taking your Gladiator thru "The Squeeze" - thanks for sharing. Sorry to see the body damage. I've never done The Squeeze because none of the vehicles I had would make it through or make it through without real damage.

Here's what it's like taking a Jeep thru there:

If I go through, it will be in my TJ Rubicon!

Good idea since, at The Squeeze size matters and the TJ is not as wide

Nice of you to share your trip through The Squeeze!

Now all future Gladiator owners who want to go through The Squeeze know to add BODY armor

Are the trails there pretty easy for newbies?

I can only speak to a couple. Pinyon Mountain is a little more complex and I obviously don’t recommend taking a Gladiator through the squeeze lol. But for the rest it’s fairly easy with some amazing views and wildflowers. Definitely worth the trip down there.
