What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[LOL WUT]

Towed the other off-road toy. The gladiator continues to impress me while towing. The Midwest serves it well for this purpose.

Work day at the gun club…..painting shooting benches. Sorry…no photos… My hands were covered with rubber gloves & paint. . The bed was loaded up with paint supplies & driving around from range to range with hubby sittin on the tailgate. Changed out my gloves everytime I got in the drivers seat.

But hey…we had some tunes to listen to, thanks to the Bluetooth speaker.

I love this truck!!!

9 badges in 2 days is kinda crazy.

Wow, sounds intense. Excuse my ignorance, but which trail is the tunnel from?

Impressive. No clue how you did them all completely in 48 hours. How much was done at night?

whaaaat!? That’s insane! PLEASE share your itinerary. I don’t see how doing all of those trails in two days is even remotely possible—or at least I thought!

It's on Imogene Pass, about halfway up on the Telluride side.

It makes sense in some areas. It looks like you did only the lake city side of engineer? I’ve done all of these, a few more than once. I don’t know how you did Kane in 3.5 hours safely. I did it solo in 5 hours without damage and without bypassing anything. I didn’t take any breaks and was the only one out there until hamburger hill. I did hamburger in 10 minutes, but waited for two JLs winching before I could start. But I only waited 20 mins or so. I’ve done hells several times and even not doing escalator or tip over, that seems fast, but doable solo I guess. I did wipeout in 3 hours solo, but went up wipeout hill, then both directions on the lateral petrified sand dune above it, then back down wipeout and exited the traditional way.

And people told me I went hard when I was out west! I'd wheel that itinerary anytime!

Woke up nice and early to pack up and end our fabulous weekend visiting Ocean Shores, WA and cruising around the Pacific Coast of the Olympic Peninsula. Back to working so my Jeep can have a better life.

This is the path I followed through the Alpine loop:

Do you spend alot of time stopping to take pictures? Pre plan routes/lines? All my completion times fall within averages for someone solo who isn't waiting at any obstacles which is the conditions I got to enjoy thankfully. Honestly surprised the shit out of me not seeing any other groups out on a holiday weekend. The only thing I think that was probably dangerous was doing escalator with no spotter, that was pretty dumb, but no damage and no injuries so oh well.

I’ve been wanting escalator for a while. Skipped it on my first time out on hells in 22, but haven’t had a chance since. Last time we got to the gate and then the weather turned.

Still working on the cabin so the JT is relegated to desert work truck status. Insulated the 1st floor walls, finished the electrical, and got the beadboard paneling done. Still need to do the loft, trim, and paint. Building a remote off grid cabin 600 miles from home is time consuming but worth every second.
