Underground Graphics Gladiator at Jeep Jamboree Texas Spur

[Underground Graphics]

Back in 2023, I had completed (at the time) the Gladiator build, enough to do Moab at EJS. later that year I did the Jeep Jamboree Texas Spur Bonus and was blown away at the level of difficulty. I actually got more rash there than in Moab, and had to take several by-passes. The guides are absolutely amazing, and if it wasn't for them, no way would many of us make it through. The trails are rated 8-9, among the most difficult of all the events, rumored to be even more difficult than the Rubicon Trail, ...but Jeep won't say that.
So, here I am back to do it again. Fresh off the SEMA show, and with new Currie 60's, 5:38 gears and Mickey Thompson 40's ready to challenge it yet again. Drove there, wheeled for 2 days and drove back home. Success! I did have an issue which I will post about in the technical forum (hope to get some answers) with the transmission either popping out of gear and/or engine turning off on hard bumps. But other than that, the JT did extremely well. And whoever says Texas doesn't have good off-roading or rock crawling hasn't been here.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

So true about Texas wheeling!
I moved there for a year thinning I was going to have to put wheeling on hold for a while and was very wrong. Texas is buggy territory!

It’s all according where you are in Texas….huge state. Where I am in East Texas it’s pretty much just mud and clay, no rocks.

Isn't that the truth. Texas is huge. Some of the mud on the Angelina and Trinity River likes to grab and not release your truck. I hate going down trails after skidders in the spring.
