EJS 2023

[jems07]

All, I’m scheduled for metal masher on the 8th. I’ve never ran a “7” before but had no issues on Top of the World which is a 6. Are there bypasses to avoid trail damage? Gladiator on a 3.5” Clayton with 37s.

Also, I plan to camp out with my trailer, are there any groups doing the same?

I'm running my JT on Metal Masher on the 4th @ 10 am. 37" MTZ and 3-4" Skyjacker lift (no idea of lift specifics). I do expect take different angles on trail obstacles than the average Jeep. I've not had my JT on that trail but have run it many times with my 100" wheelbase "Jeep". You (and I) will need to be conscious of your breakover in a few spots and very aware of your rear overhang in other spots.

I'm headed home on Thursday of EJS week, so no camping for me.

Let me know how it goes since you’re going first! 😊

I'll likely post up during the event in the reports section. Feel free to jump into the report thread.

I've ran MM in my Gladiator a few times, it wasn't bad... first couple times thru, I was on 37's with just a 1.5" leveling kit.

There are a couple of spots and obstacles on the trail that will be challenging, just know where you need to go before you start working your way up. You will probably smack your hitch a couple times, but with cautious driving you should be fine otherwise.

This whole "White Gladiator Avatar pic" is hurting my head. I keep thinking you all are replying to yourself and its becoming very confusing.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. It looks doable. Do you have a hitch skid ?

Nah, IMO it just takes away that much more clearance. 😉

Are you telling me I need to change my avatar to a white TJ instead? 😂

Yes, all better now.

BTW, the RR4W EJS run will bypass Widowmaker hill... so you don't have to worry about climbing it.
