Jeepers

The wife is actually hanging in the 5pt harness in this pic....I told her to hang out while I get a pic!

P.S- i didn't quote that ugly Toy.... ha

She may have been ugly but had enough parts in it to buy a new car!

I loved the line lock and the rear driveline disconnect...front digs were fun, could spin on a dime
I want to build another but all my money goes into savings or guns now

What kind of trails are you wanting to hit? If your looking at wanting to do the majority of the ones in Colorado you will need; lift, tires, winch, lockers, etc. Right now you can do the majority of the dirt roads, but getting off road will be challenging stock.

Maybe if you are driving blind folded. I'm sure the snow complicates things.

Still waiting on you, to come out and show us how it's done....... Help with the blindfold please..........

You just told a guy that he could only drive on dirt roads. No one can argue that your list doesn't grant access to more difficult trails, but lockers, lift, and winch are hardly required for MOST trails in Colorado. My buddy wheeled his stock Rubicon with me all summer once and he never even got any trail damage. He very rarely had to use his lockers. It is all about picking your lines.

Are you just inviting me out so you can watch me break and stock truck and talk shit the whole time?

P.S. I think a rear locker should be the #1 mod to do on any off road vehicle. Even before a lift and bigger tires.

I won't talk shit, I'll just say; told you so once or twice and we will have fun! I don't want to give the wrong impression, there are many trails a stock jeep can go. I think I said this and I said; it will be "challenging", say it won't. I have had stock everything and had a blast, breaking shit, digging it out, etc. You know as well as I do, all those items make it "easy" and more enjoyable...... I don't think I painted the picture that they are a must or a requirement. You will just be limited to were you can and can't go, how easy it is and how much work you want to put into going there.

So I see you commenting all the time but have yet to wheel with ya.... Let's all get together and go wheel it up! It'll be fun... I know T-Giv and USAGofermike is down...

O and I agree on the rear locker over other stuff 1st. And a stock Rubi is way more capable than the majority of the stuff out there. I almost wish i wouldn't have lifted mine and just left it stock!

Dude! I think she is B.A.!! Was thinking how much I would like to have a rig like that...... Pure trail machine no doubt!

I want to go with you guys, but you usually go during the week and on short notice. I've been watching this thread so I can take a day off and go. At the same time, I'm not going to show up to a place I know I can't do, and ruin the day for everyone. I don't even have winch points on my low truck.

The most difficult (in my opinion, and in my knowledge) trails the stock Rubicon did was Spring Creek and Left Hand Canyon. I wouldn't take my stock truck up Spring Creek without getting sliders at least.

[T-Giv]

I want Spring Creek to be our next run.

Looks like my Jeeps older brother!

[Irving]

I never took my Tacoma up the first obstacle at Spring Creek, but a buddy with a near identical set-up (and more experience) did. He also had sliders and a tougher rear bumper.

Look at this video I just got emailed to me tonight. I think this guy is a clown.
