ok..little more then a week for this run and again I will go over what you should have for this run:
get gas BEFORE u get to Dennys (vallero on Big bear blvd is the cheapest on the hill and is about a 1/2 mile on right prior to dennys
tow points- at least on one end of the Jeep front or rear
Strap with no hooks- not a huge priorty as there will be some available if you dont have one
cb-hand helds are ok but some are garbage so beware
air compressor (40 0r so bucks from Pep boys).
water for you and who ever is with you..sack lunch to eat on the trail (i am cooking manifold burritos)
sway bar disconnects or have yours removed when you get up to dennys...bring the right tools to remove them and try taking them off and on prior to going so know if you are going to have issues removing them.
having the sway bar free will allow you to do more with less issues on the hard stuff..
if you bring a dog u may want to keep it on a leash as there a snakies ( i hate things with no legs!) out there still and dogs tend to bring them out
thats all folks cant wait for this run and see you all up there..quick drivers meeting at 8:30 and we will be leaving Dennys at 8:45 sharp...pm me for any questions

Is the sway bar disconnect mandatory? Didnt really want to mess with it. Is it easy to do trail side (Dennys side)? Also, my cherokee is bone stock, no hooks in front other than what is factory which isnt much. I have a pinned receiver in back.

Sway Bar
FYI I have 6.5 lift open and open I ran a local trail no sway bar went through some cool stuff. Went back to same trail and forgot to disconnect front sway bar could not make it up small hills with some ruts. Im new , however bottom line disconnect sway bars for off road use keeps the tires on the ground better.
