Remember there are bypasses on the harder trails. Im sure I have seen stock jeeps on a level 3 trail before. I wouldn't mind leading or joining a small group on 3-5 trails. For sure we need at least 1 jeep with CB on each group just in case someone breaks down or has an emergency.

ill go along on the 3-5's (i know matt will do them)...and maybe ill put some more scratches in my SKID ROW ENGINE/TRANS SKID PLATE....ill go around w/ my pavement princess

how much clearance / lift do you need for the 3-5 trails ? will my 2 inch boost be enough for some of the 3s ?

matt & i both have CB's

@OP would it be possible to start divying up the list of attendees? Maybe into groups of trail ratings as mentioned.

Easy
Moderate
Difficult

Anybody with a lot of experience out there wanna develop a list of suggested equipment for each category?

Cool

I also have a CB. Also have onboard air w/ a tire repair kit, etc. Planning to run the harder trails. Looking to push the limits of my rig to see if I want/need bigger tires.

For the harder trails...at least 35" tires, additionally I would suggest spare tire, tire repair kit, Hi lift jack, winch and all recovery stuff. Doesnt hurt to have extra undies as well, and tissue for tears after your fenders snap off.

Im gunna push my rig's capability as well..Im trying to get a Pro rock soon so hopefully I bust my axles or two...just kidding!

This is on my personal agenda, as to I have some revenge on Wildcat Stairway (level 5)

But Ill go join other rigs and do whatever I think I can handle.
