Very cool that it's a Toys for Tots run, but as long as my JK is my DD, Crozet is one place I'm content with experiencing through other people's pictures!

Oh GREAT... My JK is my daily driver also and I planned on driving it there and driving it home...

I hope to be OK if I stay off anything black.. I ordered a engine/trans skid plate but it is not here yet so everything under my jeep is exposed..

It says they have blue trails that have some blacks and you can go around the blacks..

Would really suck having a broken JK 4 hours from home..

I signed up for low blues, and less than a hour into run (second obstacle) myself and Karl left... It's doable, but lockers and armor are almost a must. Honestly, it's a run for rock buggies and a weekend Toy... I will not do that run again unless I can trail guide myself and run with my own jeep buddies...

Well I already have a hotel and paid for tomorrow and my 6yo is really excited about going so I will just go and do the easiest ones they have..

I do have a D60 rear with locker and D44 front with locker, 4.5" LA lift and 37" tires..

Just no armor and a 6.1L oil pan fully exposed..

You should be fine with that and the Hemi will def help as well. It's not horrible as long as you know beforehand that "low/high blues" don't really exist.. It's pretty much low to high blacks.. I'd love to run it again, I'm just not set up for like I'd want to be.. I'm running a D30 and it really needs to be sleeved and gusseted for that run.. I've seen your setup when we went to the beach and you will be fine.. The lockers and 37's are going to make a huge diff..... Take some pics!

Me and a buddy just got a couple JKUs... we heard that there are some decent trails off Coal rd by 664, so we went there looking for something our stock jkus could handle.

Ended up going Coal rd for 7 miles to FR 162. Took 162 all the way to Blue Ridge Parkway. Some small stuff, lots of fun and great views.

Any suggestions in that area for stock rides? What about after christmas when santa brings a lift and tires? Prob a BB and 33s.
