Gertie Goes to Little Sahara

Introduction

Time to get the old girl out and see how she feels getting off the pavement! For her ‘maiden voyage’ we take Gertie out to the Little Sahara sand dune recreation area for a day trail run led by local Jeep Gladiator owner Chase @chaseroams.

Aired down the tires to 22psi for just a little more grip and let Gertie figure out the rest. The current Rough Country suspension is surprisingly comfortable and overall did well climbing and dropping down the dunes. We did break a rear sway bar end link but looking at it, I’m pretty sure that thing might have been an original stock piece because the bushings on the non-broken side look pretty ragged. Will definitely be ordering replacements for both!

This was a super fun day, can’t wait to get back out there! Follow along on Instagram @littleariana for more adventures.
