[QUOTE="KSJKR, post: 448691, member: 22464"] [USER=19161]@Anybodyhome[/USER] , y’all got some beautiful country out here! From Midlothian we went into Chesapeake, our youngest and his family live there(US Navy). Gorgeous country but y’all can keep the traffic, lol! The Landrover did exceptionally well. My oldest son opted for something different and ended up with that. While he did take the bypasses, he cleared everything without a winch or a strap. The tech in those is pretty amazing, not my cup of tea, but a capable rig none the less. It helps that both of them grew up trail riding and rock crawling. My daughter in law grew up playing in the mud so this was her first outing on the trails with her Gladiator Mohave. It did very well even in bone stock form with only a rear locker and no sway bar disconnects. The bug got her though, she now has a list of mods she’s working towards, lol! This was my 1st trail run with my JK and I had a blast! I’m so glad I held out and got a Rubicon, aired down to about 12psi and was able to idle most everything and never had to touch the brakes on the downhill sections. My only complaints are the damn nanny lights, replace parts, no lights, drive for a day, more lights, rinse and repeat. I get the added safety benefits, but I also feel it dumbs down driving. I do love my JK, but there are times when I miss the simplicity of my Scrambler. Oh well, move forward or get left behind. Back to Chesapeake tomorrow and another week left here on the coast😎 [/QUOTE]
