Jeep Rubicon looking mean at Southwest Missouri Off Road Ranch (SMORR)
Early during this trip I sliced my side wall going up a rocky ledge.
Lucky for me, Brandon had a Hi-Lift jack or my wheeling day would have been completely different. I really need to buy one.
We should to have used a Hi-lift jack base, but we didn’t have one. This wasn’t very safe but it turned out ok.
It’s never fun to break a part or need a trail repair but it’s part of the experience. If that’s not something you’re not okay with, wheeling probably isn’t for you.
One reason I love being off road is enjoying the outdoors. Don’t forget to take deep breaths of fresh air to admire the scenery.
This is Scott and his Supercharged Jeep TJ on 35’s. It’s a beast.
This was the most advance trail we attempted today. My stock height JKUR did just fine.
The park was snow-covered and a little muddy.
I was experimenting with an iOS app called, Topo Maps (link removed, no longer available).
It happens to everyone eventually. I was stuck. The sticky cold mud filled the lugs of my tires and basically became slicks. I revved the Jeep a little to tempt to clear it, but no dice.
Scott was there to help me out.
I have people tell me all the time that Jeeps are supposed to be dirty. I 100% agree. However, I prefer to maintain my vehicles and I consider the paint and undercarriage part of that care. My Jeep gets dirty, it just doesn’t stay that way long.
