Currently the "official" ride is cancelled but you guys can certainly link up and go together.

it looks like the Yes votes have won. lol Hopefully I can find time to do the install before the June AOAA trail ride.
-
group site is definitely FULL, if not overflowing...
-
I've never had them check the ebrake, mine wasn't even connected for years (switched to disc brakes) and was sold twice before it was finally hooked up.

How about something for a TJ or CJ?
Maaaaaaybe?

Updates/info for those camping with the group or on your own. FYI- the campground has late check-in/check-out times. Check-in is 6pm, check-out is 5pm. This is to give folks the opportunity to wheel on Sunday without booking the campsite for Sunday night, however it does mean you can't arrive before 6pm.
Our group site is booked for Friday and Saturday nights. We'll have food and giveaways at the campsite after wheeling on Saturday (5 or 6ish?). There is a 20x32 pavilion so we'll be good if there is rain. The campground does not have running water but there are power outlets if you need to charge phones/devices. Currently, I think we're nearly at max capacity for camping on Friday but we can probably squeeze in another tent somewhere if needed.

Just under a week away! Giveaway teaser- how about a set of JK floor liners?

11 years, how did you survive?
Welcome back to the family! 
Are those sliding windows in the hardtop? -
Driver experience plays a decent role but for a TJ/LJ on a 4" lift, you should be able to handle a good number of the blue trails without too much trouble but might need a hand in some sections. Do you have any skid plates? Differential guards or heavy duty replacement covers are pretty important, plus gas tank and engine/transmission skids.

I've had an AEV 2" lift kit sitting in my garage for a few years... should I finally install it under my Gladiator? Estimated install date could be as soon as April 29th.
Here's a photo of my stock-height Jeep on 35s... imagine it 2" taller.
-
I think more lift is needed vs bigger tires. Going from a 35 to a 37 only gives an extra inch in height, but that honestly depends on your tire pressure and sidewall stiffness too. I can't say definitively what you'll need... I only have 35s and stock Mojave suspension so I haven't even thought about trying either.

That was a great time! We had around 40 people at BWW, but didn't get a headcount at the M&G, probably closer to 30 there. We also had 9 new members join during the dinner, it was so great meeting you all and look forward to seeing you at some of the future events.
Andy posted pictures to Facebook, I stole them and reposted in the gallery here: March 28th Meet & Greet
here's a sample! -
Fern Ridge and probably Crawler Ridge (need good spotting for sure) are doable but Barney Rubble and Crawl Daddy are both a bit harder, especially for the longer wheelbase of a Gladiator. I'm normally pretty ambitious but I wouldn't try them... maybe there's someone else with more Gladiator experience on those trails?
For 37s, you can get by if you have the 4.10 gears but you'll definitely feel the difference on the highway and gas mileage. So it's possible without regearing but generally not recommended. Depending on the specific tire, it might fit in the spare tire space if you deflate it (get a portable compressor).

Only problem is, getting out on the trails just makes me want to get out on the trails. Which is a good problem, I guess.
Side note, who's going to Ultra 4 @ Rausch? Thinking about spectating on Sat, wheeling on Sunday if work permits.
There is another DEJA group ride at AOAA on 5/16 as well, May trail ride, 5/16/2026 @ AOAA
There is a thread for the Ultra4 stuff already, but not a firm plan yet- 2026 Ultra 4 USA Returns to Rausch Creek Offroad Park April 29th-May 3rd

Coming up soon!
-
coming up next Saturday! The cleanest and the dirtiest Jeeps (open to non-members!) will each be awarded a bottle of 3D Car Care Ceramic Detailer Spray prior to the convoy.
-
Welcome! That's quite a collection you have, love the shotgun!
-
Guys, is this particular ride open to non members?
Yup, all of the rides are open to non-members to join in but special stuff like the members ride will have food and such that's only for members.
-
Many of us are offroaders at heart so we don't mind the occasional non-Jeep.
However, a certain former club president also has a Bronco *shudder*. We don't see many Defenders or Grenadiers around here, but I was able to ride around southern France in an 2010s 110 last fall, pretty fun! -
I've got a tan Trasharoo bag taking up space in my garage, a little dirty from the garage but never used. $20! No pics, but if you're not familiar... https://trasharoo.3dcartstores…re-Trash-Bag-TAN_p_8.html I can meet up in the 19808 area or at the club meeting in Milford on the 28th.
