That is a tough one. If you do the easiest route there may be a few spots where you really have to hit the skinny... I wouldn't go just to play it safe.

You've talked me outta it. I need to find a nice easy trail to get used to abusing my rig. I'm scared of breaking stuff on it because my Mom will just sell it. Old Flowers road looks like a good place to start...

Left Hand doesn't look too bad really

I would think stock 4x4's should be able to handle it with a little finesse may possibly end up with some scrapes and bruises on their underside though.

How is it from those who have wheeled it?

Most of left-hand is fine stock. There are some off shoots that require higher clearance. Also, your tires need to be up to snuff. Some areas are very steep and loose.

I'm pretty sure a stock jeep would take a beating thru the creekbed

Yeah don't always trust TrailDamage. They make Moody hill look like a drive in the woods.

Mustang, what tires do you have and how much tread? You should go do left hand. With patience and spotting you can do it all. I grew up flogging a stock then mildly modded YJ up left hand. It was 10 minutes from my parents house.

The creek bed could be hard for a stocker if its wet or snowy ! And wouldn't recommend trying big momma hill with out front and rear lockers ! Other wise it's fun

Sorry to interrupt you guys.. But I just joined today, and I live in Denver. Was wondering if you guys have a trusted mechanic? I just used a pretty expensive place and I need some more work done. (maybe) - which brings me to another question I hope you could help me with. Here's a thread I started today about it - https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/pl...154687/index2/

Welcome to the thread!

First off it depends where the oil leak is. That needs to be narrowed down. Secondly water pumps are easy to replace and I think anyone of us around Denver would be willing to help you replace it for free (just what we do) so that would save you 100's of $$
