Congrats on the 1st dirt milestone. Bitterspring is a great trail as it has some very mild optional obstacles in the beginning, along with terrain/view changes, a couple of decent hill climbs as well. all with very low risk.

The wash at the end is always a great ending for the day.

I run a local off road group and here is one of the day vids from there as well (was with my previous rig, the yellow JLURD):

sweet... requested to join your group...
i'm down as long as bone stock Jeep can go...

Yeah, you'd be surprised at how capable a stock rig is. But yes, I don't bring people on trails they or their rig is not ready for.

The red bronco and the toyota pu truck looked like they were really struggling, wow!

Actually they weren't, I try to teach everyone in my group to just crawl, just fast or slow enough to make it through safely. We rarely do anything that requires a full send, a mild bump/momentum at best. Basically try to show everyone to just let the rig do the work.

Bitterspring is one of a few trails around Vegas that is newbie and stock friendly. Even with the optional hills/obstacles, most stock rigs have no issues.

Congrats on your first run! Saturday night I took a friend out to Lava Butte Loop with her fairly stock JLUR. I don't get to go out as often as I would like due to work and other things that I do, I try to when I get the chance, especially evening runs on the weekends.

Oh ok, now I understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain that for me, I appreciate that. It was cool to see all the different types of vehicles in there. I thought the pick up truck may have been struggling because of the lighter weight in the rear. The FJ cruiser seemed to make it look easier. Very good.

Bitten by the bug, me too!!!

Nice! I work out at the lake and spend a lot of time out in BC at the range as an instructor. I drive my JT daily, and the JLU I just picked up for the wife.

It is kind of weird that I have met more locals on here than I have on the Gladiator site.
