Offroad Testing our Brand New 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon

So we purchased a brand new, 2018 JLU Rubicon exactly one week ago. Officially name "The Step Child", we slapped 35" Cooper STT Pro tires and 1.5" wheel spacers on her but left her otherwise completely stock.
We then immediately took her out to Old Chinaman Gulch in Colorado and tested her on every obstacle we came across.
When all was said and done - we had a smorgasbord of scratches and gouges on the belly pans and sliders (that's what they're there for) and zero actual body damage. The only thing that stopped the vehicle at any point was clearance (which can be easily fixed with 37s and a lift), otherwise it climbed just about anything you put it up against.
All in all, we were extremely impressed with the offroad capabilities of the vehicle. Ultimately this thing is a beast right out of the box - 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for a vehicle that's comfortable as hell on the road and can handle itself with flying colors offroad.

Amazing to look back and see just how capable a stock JLUR was/is! With you and Kevin driving/spotting rocks don't stand a chance. At first I had to do a double-take: without the graphics she looked just like your little R/C car! My, how y'all have grown!

The skill level that you guys have off roading is down right impressive. This is no easy feat to crawl like this with even a stock rubi.. it’s a beautiful Jeep By the way.. I just wouldn’t have the confidence to do half of what you two did. And I say “you two” because the cutie doing the filming was an excellent spotter, wish she could teach some of my boys how to spot someone and make proper call outs. Haha great work on the trail and on the video I enjoyed it

brendan strange I went with 2.5” spacer lift and 35”, I hear what you are saying, but want to keep as much of crawl ratio I can and 35” is going to do well with lift off road. Also I can easily mount 35” on back without expensive reinforced hinges and 35” fits perfect on the back.
