Hello everyone. I am new to off roading and I am going to my first jeep jam. I have a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. When I am doing the mud pit and obstacle course can I drive the vehicle with the sway bar disconnected and the front and rear axle locks engaged??? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Yes. Don't turn on pavement with the axles locked. But will you need the axles locked? Try the obstacle first without and learn how to pick a line to the top.

Thank you for your help. I will def give it a try. They were saying today that At least for the mud put I should probably lock the axles. Is it possible without locking the axles ? And should the sway bar be connected for the mid pit and disconnected for the other obstacles?

For offroad work. I disconnect the sway bar. It will lets the axle to travel more. I do this as soon as the front tires hit dirt. For the mud pit. Lock both axles and engage Offroad+. You're a newbie, and you don't know what that mud pit is like.
