Just be prepared to go slow, maybe use a spotter and stack rocks. Stacking rocks is how the low clearance stockers get through. Also, the outrigger style sliders would provide better protection for your doors(unless you plan to leave them off obviously)

Make it at Rubicon Trail
Hi everyone,
Last weekend (June 20,21 and 22), my brother and I drove from Bay area to Loon Lake.
My jeep made it from Loon Lake to Tahoe one way direction at Rubicon Trail.
Yes, I was shocked that I did it!!! Tough obstacles however my jeep handles well with rock-crawling. Amazing!!! Only twice got stuck but mange to get out due to not enough high clearnace.
I think that the Rubicon Stock with four door will be very diffcult therefore need bigger tire and lift. What I have modified jeep - see below my signature. Plan to 1-inch Body Lift to clear ground clearance.
Thank to good spotter (my sister in the law and brother)!
Many jeeper pass by me, said - Hey, you have a nice jeep and surprised to see my jeep can go this trail because of long base.
I will post pictures tonight.
Cheers,
Rampage
