Finally got it off road! Only mods were a Valkyrie rear diff skid plate - and that sure took a beating! I went with a lifted Nissan Frontier and a lifted 4 door JK. I went everywhere they went - these are great off road! I have been to this park several times with my lifted Liberty, and this took me all the same places. I did scrape the bumper up a bit and the door trim, but I am super impressed. It's so maneuverable on the trails. The short wheel base allows it to clear obstacles bigger Jeeps can't without a big lift and tires. Just as the front wheels come down and you'd expect to high center, the rears hit the peak and prevent that. I was also worried that without having a proper two speed transfer case, I'd wish for more power. Not true at all- the 1.3T had tons of grunt and it honestly felt as good as the KJ in that regard. The 2019s have a 21:1 crawl ratio and the KJ has a 25:1, so not that different. Enough with my rambling, here are a few pics.

Nice Pics and park there HJ & I bet you had fun!
Glad to hear you had a rear diff skid plate, & that the Rene competed & performed well.
Scrapes to the bumper & door trim, no worries it'll probably buff right out. :)
Were you aired down a bit? Looks like it in pic 2&3..

Where did you go? I would like to visit that place. If you are in western Wisconsin you are not too far from me.
