Here's a YouTube video of a guy taking the right side of Cleveland Rock in a moderately modded Unlimited.

Again, old man (and legend) Ber Knight runs every trail in Moab on 33s and Don Voss, a friend here in town, just did the Rubicon in a CJ on 31s.

It's driver, not rig.

I happen to know that guy in the video, his JK is on 37s.... so no his JK is not small!!

of course skills are what matter the most.. but there is a point where it's either you have no brains and take a stock jeep through independents trail and get some serious damage... or take a built rig through and know what your doing..

Instead of us talking about all this over and over again.. how about you follow or lead the way on that trail and lets see who will come out with less damage!!

don't tell me this guy and that guy... I did the trail... so I know what it's like...

again I exclude any bypasses


I don't want anyone to get the impression that I have a bad ass rig and thats why I go places no one can!!.. that's not what i'm saying

oh and its 80% driver and 20% rig

I'm going to make the trip back to Leadville in the spring and do Holy Cross, but not for a grudge match with you. That's a little bush league, don't you think? You're missing my point entirely anyway:

You should be able to go places I can't with your suspension and 42" rubber, but I reject the implication guys with less expensive daily drivers on 32s or 33s can't accomplish some of the more difficult trails in America. It's tiresome, because it's not true.

You sort of set yourself up for a bit of criticism in this realm with the ominous sounding title of your thread...

I wouldnt know this trail from expirence since Ive never wheeled it, but it does look like fun. No matter what was said or how people took it, just shut up and wheel...!
Thank you Scott

Green with envy...

Very sweet pictures! That trail looks like a ton of fun, but like you said, you better be built for it. Huge rock faces everywhere!

I did it earlier this summer on 33's with OME 2 in lift. You are going to scrap stuff and really, really good chance of damage. I did not winch and did everything but Clevland rock. A good spoter with experience is a good thing if you are not the best driver (My case). Its a jeep, give it some beauty marks!

Point well made and exactly what I was trying to get across.
