Going to pick up my freedom top from Jagermeister427 today. Pretty pumped. Hope it is in pretty good condition. I would hate to drive 9 hours round trip for nothing.

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!
Well went to Crozet yesterday, had a good time most of the day, only did low and mid blues most of the day. Then around 3 I went on a low black stream bed trail, boy was that a mistake. Destroyed both Side rails/steps and rock rashed both rear rims all the way around.. I also had to use my rear bumper to push/slide a huge rock out of my way. I also actually got my steering arm stuck inside a tree trunk and had to high lift off it and messed my alignment off bad. It was dark when I left and cold so I went to Merchants and got an alignment instead of doing another "trail alignment".

Was fun but I will not go back with a JKU.. You need a 2 door for most of it.

I believe I know what stream bed your referring to. Did it have some HUGE rocks on the right side as you were entering, and a decent ledge to climb before crawling through the stream bed? If so, yes, it is a rough obstacle. I did that and changed my mind about continuing shortly after... That sucks that you sustained all that damage..
