Goat, you have to put it on your list of trails to do, it's a classic!

My 2-door sits on 3" net lift and 35s. I didn't winch or take the strap all day. Two lockers are mandatory for this trail IMO, but you've got a Rubicon so you've got that covered.

I kissed both rock rails, added a bit of rash to a couple wheels, and banged my tie-rod getting down off Cleveland Rock (last obstacle/totally optional). No breakage or body damage.

Holy Cross makes for a challenging day, but it's a fun and gorgeous venue.

I would contact the local Ranger Station before you go just to make sure the trail is clear of snow. There was snow there last year until the second week of June IIRC. You should still be good to go right now, however.

That Unlimited is, by all external appearances, a stock Rubicon, but it's actually got a Hemi in it. It's on stock suspension and 34" tires though, and he made it through w/o winch or strap.

Awesome! I will be up there this weekend with another group from the Colorado Springs Area as a guest so I can't really invite people but if your up there and I see you swing by and say hi. Can't wait to get out on the trail for a bit.
