Not today but yesterday. Let my oldest be the driver for a Jeep Adventure Academy event. I wasn’t expecting to push the truck that hard but they had him doing things with it that I haven’t even done yet! Overall it was a great intro to off roading with patient, experienced guides all along the way. I might have to make all my kids take it.

Went looking for a bear. None found. But I sure do love this thing more and more each time I go out. Lockers and disco's got a workout as well.

Took a long drive with my son to Idyllwild.
Went up Bee Canyon Truck Trail 5S07 to San Jacinto Ridge truck trail 5S09.

There was pretty good flow down Stone Creek, a couple inches over the road.

not overly rocky but lot of undulations/whoops kept the speed low, didn’t really need 4WD but experimented with something.
So creeping along @1000rpm in 2WD my coolant was around 220, transmission ~210, and oil 230. Air temp 71.
Going into 4Lo meant I was in 4th or 5th gear, but engine @2000rpm and temps about 200, 205, and 210 respectively. So like 10-20 degree drops.

Freedom panels and front doors off all weekend!
Learned that driving on the interstate with no doors is scary - felt like the wind was going to pull me out. Did mostly alternate routes after that.
Do it enough and you get used to it. The real test is doors off on the interstate at night ?

Friday, another forum member @darksidedesign was kind enough to video a climb on the hotel rock trail near Blanding Utah, during a jamboree we both attended. What a great trail. Will definitely do it again. Also attached is one of him rolling over a cool off camber ridge yesterday. The video doesn’t do it justice.
