I believe English Steve did it with his stock Sahara one year. He did scrap a few times on rocks. Just be sure your tires are in good condition with good tread! Also, a must is to have Quick Disco or tools to remove your stock front swaybar links to help with some of the obsticles on the trail.

Also, last year a few stock Rubicon's made it with out any troubles. There are a few area's that you can by-pass if it looks to ugly. I did not really have any issues with my Sahara with 2" lift and 33 M/T's. With the great crew going I am sure we can pull you out if you get in some ugly spot.

That sounds like a plan. Will be travelling with an 11 year old and a 7 year old so it will be a blast.

That sounds like good news. It's my daily driver like most of you guys so I can't afford to destroy it!

Like Mike said......you will be fine.....you will NOT destroy it at all, Sahara's are plenty capable, and this trail has a few challenging spots, but you will make.

I doubt you will even scatch anything, as the trail is not tight.....not sure what Mike scratched on his ride..........

due probably just his bad driving

hahaha Steve... The Trail is wide where I got scratchs was that Darn Sam taking us down on that old fire guard trail to get down to Coalmont with all those small pine trees hanging over top of the road... Yes some of the scratches were probably were caused by driver error...

hahaha Steve... Steve is correct the trail is wide enough to fit a full-size pickup... But it's those damn Fancy painted Sahara Fenders that got scratched. Yes some of the scratches were probably were caused by driver error...

Seriously...like Steve said the Trail is wide...... where I got the most scratches on my JKU was that Darn Sam taking us down on that old fire guard trail to get down to Coalmont with all those small dead pine trees hanging over top of the road...
