sick rig and video but a friendly reminder, invest small amount of money for tow strip , dont ever use your winch to tow it can damage the winch overtime or worst it might even snap and shit start flying

[@t4thfavor1212]

With so many well built rigs you'd think they might have read the manual on at least one winch.

Watching the black Rubicon, remembering how often my 2003 Rubicon got hung up on that darn skid plate. A nice flat plate does wonders for the tj, and isn't a complex modification. Do it, and enjoy. High centering a Rubicon is the worst feeling ever.

That trail looks very similar to a lot of the trails we have over here on the east coast of Australia, especially here in Queensland. Only difference is Jeeps aren't as popular here.

I tried to get my wife to move to Australia, but she shot me down. Lol You may not see as many Jeeps, but you get to have the diesel Hilux. I'm not sure which I like better. Love to watch Australian wheeling videos. Thanks for watching!

Slowly getting my 98 Durango set up. Sad side is not a lot of aftermarket support so I'll have to look hard and make what I can. If I want it. I live in weirsdale fl and work in Ocala so I need to start finding the local trails.

[@TreadandTrail]

That is the nice thing about Jeep, plenty of aftermarket parts. Good luck!!!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Florida wheeling... where I got my start. Sure, there’s not much rock, but plenty of water, mud, and sand. Fun times and great video!

[@TreadandTrail]

Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!! I am Begging to get onto some of those Colorado trails and out to Moab and beyond (Hopefully next year) but I enjoy the trailriding and offroading here in Florida too. I believe every place is unique and we should want to experience them all!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Tread & Trail if you ever do, hit me up! Colorado is a lot of fun, but it’s more pucker factor and beautiful scenery than outright technical challenge (altho we do have that too). I’ll continue to make Colorado Jeep trail videos in the future, but I really want to show off everything Colorado offers!

Some people might hate it, but I drive a 2wd jku. Even thought it’s 2wd, I’ve still heavily upgraded it. I’m on 37s, a five inch lift, RC shocks, and rear lockers to name a few things. I can’t go everywhere the 4X4’s can, but I easily keep up in mud and flat or downhill technical trails. I still get compliments from other jeepers too 😂

We can be found at any one of several off road areas on Saturday or Sunday (depends on who's available). If you wanted to get together, just let us know ahead of time and we can arrange a ride with you. Thanks for watching!!

[@rudyrivera2964]

My first manual was a TJ. I had my fair share of sport cars and want to jump back into a jeep. I'm looking into a JLU. Of course I would love a Rubicon but I honestly think it's a bit much and I won't use it to its full potential. That and the price. I'm thinking about jumping into a Sahara. What do you think? I want to off road but not so much rock crawl. I also prefer the 6 speed over the 8spd auto even though my buddies are trying to sway me into auto. I'm over in Clermont.

[@TreadandTrail]

Firstly, I say get what makes you feel comfortable. I drive a standard as that's what I like but would prefer an auto for offroading as there is more consistent application of throttle. I wouldn't worry about the Rubicon at this point as MOST of your wheeling in FLA won't require it (especially for the trailriding and offroading your looking for). Get what you can get and enjoy it, you can always add a set of lockers or upgrades later. Look us up when you get it and we can get you out on some of our rides.
