Drug the pop-up down to Table Rock Lake for the Jeep Branson event through the weekend. Easy 300 mile tow, about 5 hrs on the road and averaged 12-ish mpg. Take it out the TexPlex terrain park for first offroading today or tomorrow - interested to see how it compares my previous 2010 JKUR 6MT.

Took it wheeling at TexPlex at Fox Creek Park, about 20 minutes from campground at Table Rock - good mix of terrain from easy to rock gardens, wet trails and steep climbs descents. Didn't get any action shots but here is the 'after' photo.

Had 2 solid skid plate hits, one rock rail hit, dragged hitch mount once and had one nasty branch reach out and scratch the clear coat on the driver side (should buff out).

Gladiator did great for first time out, tried out the offroad cruise and offroad+, thing was very surefooted and climbs and descends like a mountain goat - nice and flexy for stock (for now) suspension.

Felt the wheelbase a little with the skid plate hits and had to do one 3-pt turn but overall really impressed. Firestone Destination MT2's did real well (315 70/R17), good grip and traction even though I only aired down to about 22. I've had great results with this tire on my JKUR and now the Gladiator (will get true 35's next time though).

3.6/auto sure likes to spin up - my '10 JKUR had the 3.8 and 6 spd, very different animals for sure, but the Gladiator really crawls well, had a great time.
