If this one wasn't so brushy at the beginning I would like to take the Jeep up it. about 25° to 30° degrees for a half mile.

This one is about 20 miles from my house. Again nothing challenging but very beautiful scenery.

Damn, I gotta get to AOAA once I lift mine. :LOL:
Curious, what's AOAA?

I've got a JLUR on stock suspension and 35's. Recently drove through a couple hundred feet of roadway that was flooded and everyone else, including a couple of 4x4 pickups, were turning around to avoid it. I stopped midway to lean out the window to see how deep it was and the tires were completely submerged by a few inches. I sat for a few minutes, figuring it was a good test. Not a single hiccup from the engine, not a single idiot light on the dash, and not a drop made it through the doors weatherstripping. Been over a month since that swim, and knock on wood, not a single hiccup.

The 2.0 is amazing offroad. Went to Hidden Falls adventure park with 4 other JLs (mine the only 2.0). The 30 extra Ft-lbs of torque is very apparent in offroad conditions compared to the 3.6. With the ability to reach max torque at low RPMs, I'm very impressed. Many trips and 15000 miles later, the 2.0 has been flawless (knock on wood). No buyers remorse here.

I love the 2.0 Turbo. I’ve wheeled Moab, The Rubicon, Sand Hallow as well as this last weekend Vernal Ut. No issue with power. I do have a throttle control installed that smooths out the throttle response while rock crawling. So glad I made the decision to go with the 2.0 Turbo.

Same here, wheels and tires completely submerged with water inside the cabin. Apart from cleaning up, 10500 miles later the Etorque has been perfect and I wheel it pretty hard. The extra torque is amazing and very noticeable.

Wanna add that when the jeep got stuck, it sat there for around 30 minutes with water above the tires, so the battery was underwater. Everything was normal after.

Sweet, thanks for that! Will definitely check it out this December, after my seasonal business is in full hibernation. I normally work 6 days a week and off roading is illegal in new York. I have to wait for my off season to take the time to travel to where the real trails are and not have to worry about my jeep getting impounded. Thanks again!

No problem, but in case you are not aware they require a 2 vehicle minimum to go on the trails. I’ve been there twice now, it’s a big place. I think it’s over 10,000 acres.
