I see Jeep clubs all the time making the trip from Denver to slaughterhouse trail , which is not that close to Denver ,and the
Jeeps I see usually are running 35-38's and such...I just don't see the attraction since Slaughterhouse trail has not one single obstacle to challenge a locked vehicle on 31's with a good suspension let alon 35-38's ..infact I can run the trail in my stock WJ on balding all terrains ... not trying to be a *** I just can't see the reason a club would take the 80 miles round trip to run what amounts to dirt road with some pebbles on it ?

 

Agreed. Last year my buddy and I ran that trail in 2wd in about an hour. It's lame.

 

Never been to slaughterhouse and have no real intention in going

 

However in 03 the run off from the blizzard made for a couple real bad mud holes ...I'd like to get a rematch with the big mud hole there with the big boggers ,but no mud like that since 03 .

 

i broke a trackbar and both front axles in those holes!! all in one big boom boom pow. was the reason i did my first front leaf swap on a comanche.

im pretty sure they closed down the mud holes. so there is no fun to be had there anymore.

i def agree to a point. some people just want to get out and trail ride ya know?

i for one, am beginning to like more trail riding than crawling. i beat the **** out of my jeeps while crawling and after 13-14 years of it, its getting damn expensive. dont get me wrong, im still gonna crawl, just not as much as i used to. id rather grab the girl, the dogs, and some lunch and head out for a nice relaxing trail ride. not an all day, butthole puckering event every time.

btw-im not in any clubs, just think i understand their reasoning.....but you wont see me taking the xjuggy to slaughterhouse when its done!
