Make sure you get reservations if you want to drive to the top; otherwise, you'll park and be bussed up. If you have time and can afford it (pricey) the cog railway provides better views and everybody gets to see and hear the guides (I was always driving so missed a lot). Reservations fill up...

I suppose if looking at the manual is out of the question, praying to the duck might work...

Australian mate found a baby Huntsman eating a Gecko (they get much, much bigger): https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/huntsman-wins-battle-with-gecko.41419/ A few posts down in the thread the nuclear option is proposed... I would have led with that, spiders scare me...

Me too! On my third GC (a '21 V8 Trailhawk), but the Wrangler is my latest toy and first time I've had a trail rig that wasn't my daily driver.

That's just cruel. Bet they have to clean up a whole bunch of little plastic duck poo.

I'm pretty agnostic on the duck thing. Got a couple, have friends who love or hate them, but for most it's benign. My daughter-in-law got me a bag of them for Father's Day, be warned! And I did get this today: I kinda' like "the Wave", though having owned Jeeps but not Wranglers for nearly 30...

It's not too late! ;) Of course, after all the doomsday predictions from various dealers, the new ones come stock with the XR package that was mostly unobtanium the past few years, power front seats, bigger display, few other goodies, and (only really important thing IMO) full-floating axles...

Yah, I was lazy and just used "NVM" in my post, sorry. Looking at them as well. They are very pricey, natch, $1k for the muffler skid (still can't decide if that one is really needed), and do not have just the oil pan/xmsn skid alone (unless I missed it, will look again). Their full set ($3.3k)...

Thanks, they are on my short list! Artec, Metalcloak, and NVM were highly recommended along with Mountain Road Offroad Enterprises (MORE). MORE is in CO (my home state) and a little cheaper but I'm exploring all options right now. And debating how much I really need, for the trails and peace of...

Finally got it dirty... Skid plates, thinking on skid plates. Stock has xfr case, gas tank, and a front skid but not the oil pan (!) I was thinking of the M.O.R.E. oil/xmsn skid plate and debating about one for the rear mufflers. I do not plan to do extreme wheeling, but there are rocks around...

Uncle in the construction biz died from asbestos exposure. Took three months to cremate the body.

FINALLY got the new Jeep (Earl grey Rubicon) on the trail, just over the engine break-in period. Easy trail in South Park RD Colorado, muddier than we expected (good!) Nice view for our lunch break. Need to pick up a few more things and start down some harder trails to get my wheeling skills...

Finally found one! Now researching rock sliders/steps and a winch plus a few minor items (lights, grab handles).

That is one amazing build! Definitely worth a look, and maybe a drive...

Nah, sort of gave up for now, and been swamped at work anyway. Jeep's website contact told me I could order it through my dealer, dealer says they can't order it, and a couple of other dealers said the same. A couple of V6 XR Unlimiteds showed up at the dealer last week but were gone before I...

Frankly I can't imagine shooting something 700 yards away, even in the prairie (antelope). Mostly I hunted deer, elk, and upland birds. 100 yards was a far shot in the woods and hills. There are some long-range ranges around up to 1000 yards but I can barely see that far. :) Years ago there...

Been a few years since I last hunted, using my father's (RIP) old 30-06, but for long shots and big elk in CO what I saw were mostly 7 mm and 300 mags.

I noticed I can order the Wrangler with the 3.6L "eTorque" engine and get 4.88 gears (4.10 standard, 4.56 with the 35" package you cannot get). Those gears might handle 35" as-is, and the V6 is much less than the V8 but on paper still a nice engine. Too bad no local dealers have a V8 on the lot...

Thanks, kindred spirits! I did not work as much on my last two Grands ('09 and now a '21 Trailhawk) as my first ('97). Not wheeling as much, QuadraDrive-II worked well, and they made it almost impossible to go over stock tires. The '97 was a little easier but not much... And nobody made a locker...
