All loaded up for a trip to the badlands this weekend. Looking forward to it for about 6 months now. First time towing the Jeep with the truck... It will be OK, by the numbers, but it's still pushing everything a bit more than I like. I wish the trailer was about 2 feet longer too. Would make weight distribution a bit better and make for better tie down locations. View attachment 331641
I was wondering myself since the badlands national park doesn't seem to have any trails!Wrong badlands, lol. Badlands off-road park in Attica, Indiana.
That would make for an interesting wheeling report. I hope you don't break the Jeep... but if you do I'm excited to see pics of your Colorado wheeling the Badlands!If it goes well, this is a pretty sweet combo. If I break the Jeep, I can move my flag to the truck and wheel that. It has lockers front and rear, off-road mode, an auto, and about 2x the power of the Jeep! Crappy rear overhang though. It would be just like driving an LJ, lol
@JMT, if you ever make it to the Badlands, I'd like to show you around!Hoping this all goes well! Great job on the gears and nice catch on the bearing pre-load. Frustrating but done now. Have a great trip. Wish I was going.
I’d love to come. That would be super nice of you! I’ll need to look up where it is! I’ll be looking forward to Mike’s pics to see what it’s like.@JMT, if you ever make it to the Badlands, I'd like to show you around!

That’s the first thing I noticed! “Busier than usual.”Loved the "busier than usual at this destination." That tells you you're headed to the right place!
This is a good feeling...congrats!This Jeep is starting to work really well. It's drama free and predicable.
I think I jinxed myself with that comment, LOL. I nearly rolled it off a 4 foot ledge the next day! I was struggling with a climb...that everyone else was able to complete. So...you know how that goes. Gave it another shot and she slide sideways and dropped my drivers tire down the ledge...Like a sorority girl on Friday night...she was tipsy! Backed out of it with nothing hurt but my pride and confidence. I ended up circling back after a bit (and some success) ...and it climbed right up.This is a good feeling...congrats!
The truck actually did pretty well. Not sure if want to tow it over the Rockies or anything, but it was stress free at 65.How did the truck do?
