yeah, im not too worried about it. Locked F/R on 33x12.5 MT/Rs, built in sliders, mini skids, Claytons, etc. should do just fine. 33s and at least one locker are recommended for the rubicon, but to be honest you could take a stock cherokee through if you just take all the bypasses

I bet most of you have seen this but for those who have not here is a teaser for you. Eric has a great write up on his web site on the 2011 Sierra Fest. They did Deer Valley too.

I'm just wondering if I would be ok to follow them and take a few bypasses for the bigger obsticles. Id rather not destroy my DD.

I was just trying to be funny with that "wench on top", comment. Now seeing those awesome pics of the Rube trail trip looks like that might actually be handy! And WOW! Thanks.

Are there bypasses on pretty much all the major obsticles? My dad has a group of friends that go anually (with lifted wranglers and a couple XJs) and we have considered taking my jeep. I've only got a RE 3.5in lift and 31s.I have all the stock skids, but no sliders. No winch either(yet... might be upgrading the bumper soon)
