It handled the gravel parking lot like a champ!

I’ve been driving this Gladiator Rubicon the past couple of days and just adore the Hydro Blue color paired with the Mopar Retro Graphics. Had to break out the camera to get a couple of pics!

I actually did take it on a nice little trail (hence the semi muddy driver side tires) at an event we were hosting this weekend . While I prefer sports cars, there’s something very enjoyable about crawling through the woods in one of these. The Gladiator really just needs the 2.0t motor or diesel that’s coming in the 2021 MY.

That is some excellent photography.

I accidentally took my car offroad once. . .

Look at those mean ruts in the background. This was two years ago and since then I’ve pretty much limited it to gravel parking lot donuts and that one dirt road.

Thank you. I need to use my camera more and this gave me a good excuse.

Yeah I never have done any real off roading in my own cars but fun in others

I don’t really have any experience offroading either. But car photos are fun. You must have had some serious kit to get photos that good.

OT: I giggle every time I see your screen name because I read it as “412 GTI,” as in a Volkswagen 412 that’s a GTI trim.........which hella should’ve happened. Maybe with a flat-six.

That would be rad if they made one in GTI trim!

Thanks! Nothing crazy, just a Nikon D5600 and 70-300mm Lens + Lightroom.

That sounds fun. I guess you can sell the product better if you know how it drives.
