the gap is not that bad, the tucson rough riders mantain it, so the sides of the road isnt falling apart. i think a stocker can do it, there are bypasses around all the really rough stuff. for the most part it it is dirt with ruts, towards the end it gets rocky and you have to pass through a few streams. i was out hunting in that area a few weaks ago and saw a stock wrangler and a few other yjs, dont know how far they got though.

I would try all the hard stuff then, I've got enough armor... I need at least a rear hitch though, I gotta have some sort of recovery point...

basically stock, it's got some 29" tires (Wranglers, so basically "trail" tires, they do alright), no sway bars, a couple lights, that's really it. I'm telling you man, just removing the way bars has made it ten times more capable.

I figure if I have a hitch on the back, I can get myself un stuck from most anything. I should probably get something up front, even just a couple hooks, but I can't really afford that right now...

BS, do you have quick discos? If not, how does it handle with that much lift and no sway bars.
To be honest, mine is bad enough with no lift, driving on the freeway is not a fun thing for me, haha.

actually handles well imo but the lift isnt to bad because you put on stiffer springs. Not gonna lie though the front end is pretty bouncy.

But got some good new i got everything rewired to day after a slight delay to urgent care. But now my running lights turn off and my hood pin kit is in. Now the bad New the front left blink is always on still and my blinkers dont work so i think i am going to swap out that flasher and see if that changes anything. But atleast i havent put the dash back in so if i do find more burnt wires to be the issue i wont have to take the dash out.

Who's patrick? haha i think you were refering to the guy with the honda lawnmower. And i think your refering to me. I dont rub at all. unless im at full lock and it never did that before, untill i slid down a hill. now it just barely rubs on the LCA's. If nothing is wrong with your steering, and have the stock wheels/ stock backspacing i think you should be fine. although i still have the sways on. So i dont know what kind of rubbing that'll cause.

Haha, I must have got names mixed up, that's what I get for thinking I could remember your name after only hearing it once, I guess, haha.

Anyways, that's good to know, I don't rub unless I'm flexing hard. If I flex hard it rubs on some stuff. If I'm just level and turn full stop, it doesn't rub. Reason being though, is I barely rub with 29's, so I was wondering if it was much worse with 30's...
