Who said I live here and think I have no risks? I bust my ass to be able to live here, worked shitty jobs for years to make ends meet in order to stay in Tahoe. I finally got a breakthrough at a decent job, saved for 5 years, and bought an extremely overpriced home thanks to the VA bill changing...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

California in tandem with the forest services closed down access to the national forests and state parks. I believe the rubicon was closed too. A friend got a $1000 fine for rock climbing near Tahoe Donner and I heard similar stories from people trying to fish north of Truckee

I should add a wave and an oorah to you

Haha. Touché Im actually torn on this even though I’m the one presenting the issue. I don’t want someone telling me what to drive, but I also don’t want my house to burn down because some rich dude wants to play with his toy in my backyard. And yeah, with the price of modern Jeeps I’ll...

According to their marketing material, yes they intended for this. They put trail rated badges on their jeeps and named the high end model after the Rubicon Trail. Let’s see if they do the same with battery packs. Maybe the FCA engineers will develop a safer system for all the electric vehicles

That day is already here. California shut down last August or September because of the forest fire danger. banning utility lines is harsh since we’ve decided as a society that electricity is important for modern survival, but they do present a massive danger. I’m not an electrical engineer, but...

Noooo! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

You probably didn’t mean to, but this highlights my concern. Does Jeep intend for their batteries to be subjected to harsh off-road conditions? Are the batteries tested for repeated jarring, bumping, dust and water exposure? I did some brief reading on lithium batteries and chemical fires. I...

I’m not against the cars, just the area of operation. I view it along the lines of requiring a spark arrestor but I’m sure there are plenty of people that complain about that regulation too. It’s dumb to park a hot car in tall dry grass, but if there’s a law prohibiting it people will complain...

Perhaps “Ban” is too strict of an idea. Maybe have a trail rating system with restrictions on vehicle type? Or perhaps it’s a new market with room for an innovative fire suppression system idea that reduces the risk. Either way, i feel we should take the topic into consideration and have some...

Hardly the first, considering the article cites two similar incidents in 2016 and 2019, but I’ll agree the danger is low. They aren’t simply all going to randomly explode. However, off-roading will introduce the vehicles to stressors not found in normal wear and tear and therefore I assume the...

This is a tragedy to hear about, and condolences to the family and friends involved. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2021/04/18/tesla-model-s-car-crash-leaves-two-dead-texas-and-ignites-blaze/7276828002/ Now, imagine the Magneto, Jeep’s all electric concept Wrangler, dropping off a ledge...

Mine just arrived today. Can’t wait to use them

35/18s and air down to 15-20 range depending on the trail

Check out https://ohv.nv.gov/trails I’ve lived in Incline for 11 years but only discovered that site a few weeks ago. I have a bunch of areas to explore this summer and we’ll see how difficult the drives are. Some trails are forest service type roads, others end up having actual obstacles...

Can’t argue with that. It’ll be gone sooner rather than later I hope. But my son does love playing Angry Birds 😂

Haha, State of Jefferson!! I’ll move there in a heartbeat if you get your freedom. Such a beautiful part of the world. Plus, Tahoe is getting crowded

Ive owned two TJs and now a JKUR with a 3rd Gen T4R sandwiched in between. My son is old enough to really enjoy getting outdoors, wheeling, fishing, and camping. And once he develops some muzzle awareness we’ll go hunting I’m sure! I’m on a roughly 3” lift (?) with Fox reservoir shocks, 35s...
