I love the advice of taking it slow. It is more about the journey than anything and going slow knowing my limits is good advice. I have the basic recovery gear part all covered, most of it I carry in my rig on a permanent basis. I like the idea of the checklist. I always forget something...
My wife and I are planning a 5-day adventure to Nevada in April to explore a few ghost towns, see some sights and simply enjoy some time off. We are going solo without any other rigs. I have hunted, hiked, and Off-roaded by myself for years, but most of this was done in an area I am familiar...
Agree, the bigger engine and the trans made a big difference. I did like the 4:56 gears in my year. Later years they moved to 4:11. Either way they are great rigs.
I had 2012. Lifted 3 inches on 37's. Really liked the rig it performed well off-road. Once I got used to the size it did well. Selling it was a hard decision, but the size was just to big for our needs. We used to tow a toy hauler, but when we sold it I decided to scale down. I enjoyed...
This year was my first year out with my Gladiator. I totally agree about using recovery gear. Before the Gladiator I had a Power Wagon. That was a beast in the snow. Really heavy sank fast, but a tank at pulling people out. Always fun.
This trailer is the Backout addition. It has larger tires and a stronger suspension. You can camp and haul your toys on the trailer. Sleeps 4.
It has the following options.
Sink, Lamp Post, Awning, Water storage, ATV blocks, Table,
Trailer Dimensions Overall: 92" wide x 144" long

I am really surprised by that. Every year in between Christmas and New Years' my wife and I take the Jeep and my son brings his we go out and rescue people. I never take money in return (bad karma). I am always so surprised by how unprepared people are, and really foolish they can be. For...
@Motomikeca That sounds like a fun trip. I live in Murphys and in Fremont.. The Morman emigrant trial should be fun. Let's hope this week brings some fresh snow. If so it will be fun.
I took a Gladiator group member out above Sonora right after the last storm. We ended up breaking snow...
Its on the map in the app. The GPS is 37.618200,-120.019700
Located right off of highway 140. Great camp spot.
Come over to Arnold (Highway 4) or Highway 108. Plenty of spots to wheel on this side of the canyon. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from Maraposa.
Great, advise. Definatly will power up my little buddy heater and blankets to add warmth. We are planning for mid-April, are looking at going to Tunnel and several areas northwest of Lovelock.
Great advice. Thank you. We have completed a few weekend trips for a day or two. This will be her first long trip for over 2 days and moving to different spots. I want her to enjoy it, so we can do more in the future.
