Great time with the group today. Nothing's Broken. Jeep's clean. Thanks to @Elff, for leading the way. Thanks to everyone for a great time. I don't have many pictures, because usually my wife's the photographer. It's hard to take pictures and drive. This was a fun group.

We had a blast today, thanks for setting this up guys! Looking forward to the next one.
Nice to not be the only 6 speed JT for once! I think there were 3 of us with @SSinGA! Plus elf and his TJR

Just to Prove I brought a gladiator, here it is with the trailer all loaded up and heading out for the day.

I took some poser shots of the Trail Guide Vehicle after we all climbed Trail 11.
Congrats on everyone getting that Badge of Honor.

Sadly, we did not take any pics when we hit the North East Property for the second half of the day.
After a short mini Hail storm, the cold and wind went away, the sun came out, and the temps went up to the 50's. It ended up being really nice. We went through Pit Jr. twice and then did a hill descent and a hill Climb. I believe @Cbieh589 said he hit 22 degrees going down and 35 degrees coming up the hill.
Later on, We made a real short run up Talisman [Black/Red] before I realized I missed the turn for T1.
:CWL:


It was a very fun day. I was happy to be the guide and get to meet up with some fellow Gladiator owners. We definitely need to do this again and even add a night of camping as I can see us all having a blast around a campfire on the other side of the parking lot.

Had the same one on my old TJ too. Yours is remarkably similar to mine. Sold it in '03 when my son was born. Made me nostalgic.

Since we're showing off TJs...

Ours was completely stock. No hand throttle haha. No air, no horsepower (it was an i6 though). Way before Rubicon was anything but a trail. I really wish we could have kept it. Both of yours are much cooler, but that was an awesome jeep to own. It was our gateway drug. Bought from a highschool classmate of mine.

Bummed we missed it, was pretty good weather, trail 11 is still on my bucket list. Sister is out of danger and will be fine soon, I have to say I was looking out the window daydreaming about jeeping instead of talking about therapy and medical stuff!….Jack

We had enough fun, where there will definitely be another outing.
I am very happy to hear that your sister's is gonna be ok. Good on you for being there!.

Nice TJs. That one picture is from Moab.
@NachoRuby My first Jeep was a bone stock YJ. Funny thing is, just like both of yours, it was green with tan interior. That was a very common color back then.

Moab, Golden Crack. Did that with my Power Wagon. I'll be out there the first part of June.

Wish I could have made it out there with you guys. I'll be at Rausch Creek the end of June for a long weekend. The trails don't look too muddy. Did you's go by the Frog Hole, Powerline, or Topless for Tata's?

I had a great time and I appreciate @Elff leading us around and showing us a great time. I really enjoyed the afternoon and it was 22 degrees down and 25 degrees on the way up the hill climb. I was using this as a shakedown for what needs to be upgraded and I think I've thrown lockers out the window because the lsd was awesome. Underbody protection and a winch have moved up the order. We should definitely do this again with camping, I think that would be a great time.

Can you post the pics you took when I climbed the concrete?
:rock:


Did you's go by the Frog Hole, Powerline, or Topless for Tata's?
We did the entire 1B Trail, were on numerous parts of the Powerline. We stuck to green trails based on the large number of stock vehicles so I did not take us down to the Topless for Tattas area as that is 1 green trail surrounded by blues and blacks

We had a great time! Thank you again for leading the group, elff! My camera was set to erase older videos once the memory card was full, so unfortunately I don't have any of the good stuff. If anyone wants to see 27 GB of me pulling out of the parking lot and heading home just let me know. I'm choosing to see that as an excuse to go back.
