What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[chorky]

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.

Today and yesterday in the same pic. Picked up a trailer to rehab for a family friend and yesterday I ripped down an raggedy basketball goal for the same friend.

4lo and barely touched the gas. I can’t believe it ripped it out of the concrete like that.

Pushed the boat into the water

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.

Used my 4wd for the second time getting stuck in the sand on the beach. 4 hi got it out like nothing. Crazy I even tried in 2 wheel. lol

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 ?

Got out and onto some Forest Service roads/trails in the mountains. Had to turn around on one road due to a snow drift that was too much for us.

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.

Went wheeling out at Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch this weekend!

Got’r stuck for the first time. Doesn’t look like it, but it wasn’t budging. High centered on the diffs and who knows what else. All 4 wheels were spinning unimpeded at idol.

I took a buddy of mine and his wife and kid to earn their badge in Osceola. To say this place is in dire need of extensive trail maintenance is an understatement. We cleared 10-15 fallen trees blocking the trail, which was tighter than…well use your imagination. The day before I was checking out the DeWalt 12” chainsaw and should have gotten it. About 200-300 yards from the end of the trail there was a 12-18” tree down about grill high. We had to backtrack and find a way out. Kind of fun, but damn it was tight. No doubt will my ride need a good detail!

Oh yeah I forgot to add…I broke off my Quadratec 13 inch AM/FM radio antenna. The sucker snapped right at the base.
