Did a little flex test at a local lake road. Haskell Lake. Grew up just 1/2 mile from it. They've really cleaned it up over the last several years.

New to Jeeps, and to "wheeling" so I'm starting easy. Go easy on me.

You’re out there. I remember when I first got it, and 15 degrees of roll felt like I was going to lose it. Good work using the gauges. It will give you an idea of what it can do. You’re quite safe around 20 degrees, if you’re moving slowly.

Took it up Mt. Hamilton for some nice views and sharp hairpins. Was nice to test full lock on the steering, but I’m getting frustrated with some new creaking/groaning that is likely control arm related - recently found my rear upper jam nut was finger loose. Officially regret not going with something like Synergy.

Used my 5000 lb gladiator to drag my 9000 lb F450 up out of some deep snow. The 4Fitty has 4wd but couldnt get up the grade, just spin. Tow strap to gladiator rear hook and 450 front tow loop, Jeep in 4Lo and yanked it right out. Jeep was on ice and snow, didnt care, made it happen. I was impressed, little diesel got er done

It was unseasonably warm and sunny today, so took Rosie to the mountains.

Found deep snow on one of the trails; got to try 4H, 4L, Offroad+, front and rear lockers and the swaybar disconnect. Everything works.

Rosie loved running off leash and bathing in the river.

Alright this is a few months old but I have a good excuse. The photo for proof was being held hostage by my brother in law. I’ve finally procured it!

In October ‘23 while on a hunting trip we hit a steep hill with snow covered rocks. I had to use my winch to get past a 30 foot section, and after that crawled up without issue. My brother in law showed up in his TRD Pro Tundra and could not make it up. I hooked up to him and used my winch. I quickly began to outrun my winch and disconnected it. He however could not make it up on his own and I had to tow him all the way up this hill, about 200 yards or so.

The diesel JT pulled him up with zero issue. I was actually blown away and rubbed it in his face. Which is probably why he wouldn’t cough up the photo!

This is how we do it.
