I see the high end of the ratings on Eagle Rock and Saran Wrap are 7/8. I assume that's if you take on the harder, optional lines...? I've got a couple buddies with stock 4dr rubi's....and i don't have lockers. Will these trails be too much? None of us are worried about using skid plates or getting minor scratches- just not looking for body damage.

I have a no lockers or lift running 275's and ran Eagle Rock & Saran Wrap about a month ago. I banged every skid, bumper and even the oil pan (fixed that issue). I used the PSC brawler bars several times, they saved me from body damage.

When I was going up I was following two jeeps, after one of the first stretches, they pulled off and I kept going. It is a rough trail for sure but you can run it stock with good tires.

Also don't believe the ratings to much... I thought I could get over the first obstacle on TrailDamage.com - Grizzly Lake after running Eagle Rock and Saran Wrap, but got stopped (not tall enough).

It has been my experience that trail ratings trend to err on the conservative side. They seem to be a good indication of difficulty for a stock rig, then the more modified your rig the ratings trend to slide a bit. That being said it really depends on the lines you take as well.
