I see you did Black Bear Pass, nice. I am planning on a trip to the area in the summer, right now I have a Sport S with 2.5” lift and 35’s, but throwing around the idea of looking into a 2019 JLUR. Everything I have seen about that area is perfect.I would highly recommend Ouray, Silverton, Telluride or in general the SanJuans in CO. The trails arent to challenging but they have some nice obstacles and the views are postcard worthy all day. Lots of old mining and historical sights and perfect weather if you go in late August usually.
We go almost every year and that area is about my favorite place to just relax and get outdoors. You can also take the train from Silverton to Durango if your looking for a break from some trails. In these pics the only mods were a bumper and winch, engine skid plate and 1 inch puck in the front to lvl it out after the bumper and winch.

A heavily modified jeep isn't really needed for the large portion of stuff to do there. Your sport will be more than up to the task! You could always rent a new jlur out there and try it out. We love to visit the Switzerland of America jeep rental place even tho we've never rented one they are super friendly and very knowledgeable of the area.
I’m not looking at a Rubicon solely for this trip, it’s just an idea. Yeah, everything I’ve read, I’m pretty sure I’d have no problem on Black Bear with my Sport. I love the area, and I am super excited for the trip. Whenever I watch videos it just gets me that more stoked for the trip. I have a buddy that lives in that area also, so hopefully I’ll have a few others to explore the area with that already know it. Don’t plan on anything super technical, just for some fun riding and super views. Thanks for the info on the Jeep rental.
