First Time Flexing Our New Jeep GLADIATOR RUBICON X

The Ouachita National Forest holds some of our favorite places to escape, and this time we set out to revisit a vista that never disappoints. Under the last full moon of summer, we camped high above the forest with a breathtaking view of Lake Winona. The night was calm, silver-lit, and unforgettable.

By morning, the heat rolled in quickly. Arkansas has been caught between extremes this year—weeks of endless rain followed by a relentless heat wave that has left the ground dry and cracked. It’s a reminder of just how quickly the seasons can shift out here.

This trip wasn’t about pushing limits, but about giving our new 2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X its first real flex. We wanted to feel how it moved on the trail, test the suspension, and see how the truck handled the demands we know are coming as the build continues to evolve.

From moonlit skies to dusty roads, this adventure was about more than just driving—it was about slowing down, appreciating the forest, and beginning a new chapter with a rig we hope will carry us for many miles to come.
