Hey pitbullxj that is a pretty sweet video. I am not going to lie I am pretty new to the jeep scene and have only gone on several moderately easy trails since buying my xj a couple of months ago. What do you think would be needed to make it through eagle rock?-I have a decent Rubicon Express lift with about 5.5" total lift, but I have unfortunately not installed any of the skids that I bought or a SYE yet.

Good driving and some bypasses. COS was there. A little bit of rocker damage was all that happened. Open/open rig too.
