I took my out for his first off-road adventure in our Stock 2018 JKU Rubicon. We hit gulches Off-road park in South Carolina to see how capable this Jeep was without any mods. We also managed to get our first Jeep Badge of honor on this trail. Stick around and see how well Jeep did, and what trail damage we got from our adventure at Gulches ORV.

Great video Matt. I was the same way when I first got my Rubicon. I had to get used it. Man, this trail looks so much fun.

Yeah it was super fun. Hoping to get back soon and push it a little more. Still nervous I guess figuring out what stock can handle without pushing it so much I break or damage something.

I drove out there last Sept. to Gulches from AZ to wheel with my dad. Fun little park, but they need to map the trails better. Out here in the southwest it is wide open land where you can go wheeling just about everywhere. You should use 4 low more often in that Rubicon - it is much easier on the drivetrain and also allows you to concentrate more on the obstacles. We use low range whenever we are on trails that require less than 30 mph speeds.

@SimplyMustGo 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a fun little park for sure and I agree. We found ourselves lost a couple times before we got the hang of it!

I want to go up there and do this trail. I just bought a Gladiator and want to see how it does on this trail. Great content, I just subscribed. I am going to do the Badge of Honor trail in Florida later this year. I am trying to get a channel together, what cameras and editing program do you use?

@SimplyMustGo 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! Thank you so much for the comments and the sub! That means a ton! I film with a variety of things. My main camera is a Canon 6Dm2, I also have a Gopro Hero 7 and a DJI Action Camera. I use Adobe Premiere to edit everything.

Now that I have a JL rubicon, I've been looking around to see where I can play around with it's capabilities. So far, I've done small parts of SCAR. But these badges of honor has me intrigued. After a little more time on some trails and getting a good feel for the Jeep, I'd love to try to collect a couple of these badges. I'm on the northern part of SC near Charlotte, and it looks like Gulches is the only SC badge to earn? Watching you do this with your stock rubicon gives me some confidence I can do it too!

@SimplyMustGo 5 ай бұрын

Yeah it’s the only badge of honor place in SC. It has a lot of different trails from green to black. Stay on the green if you’re stock…

@jdjeep46 10 ай бұрын

In the old days people ran the rubicon trail in stock jeeps with NDTs, no lift, no lockers, 60-70 hp. The stock Jeep rubicon’s are very capable.

You need the Jeep Badge of Honor app and when you get there, you check in on the app.
