Anyone else notice the guy pushing the Jeep? That explains why he went up so easy.

Anyone seen a 4 door with only 35s in Pritchett? I would say 35s (maybe even 33s) would get the job done on a 2 door.

I was through with my TJ on 33s a few years back. I took a strap over Rocker Knocker and the rock pile due to lack of lockers, but never had a clearance issue.

I also took my TJ with 33s and lockers through Pritchett. I too took a strap on Rocker Knocker and the Rock Pile. There is no comparison to how well the longer wheelbase 4 door with 37s performed. The wheelbase makes a huge difference on this trail.

I've ran every other trail in Moab without lockers. (very poor to afford lockers.) Haven't need them anywhere else....Maybe I should try Prichett...whats the worst that can happen? I break, roll, or die?

You are absolutely correct.

Mowabb knows his jeep and the trails. He led the majority of the TexasJK.com group on several successful runs.

We had another guy who was an absolute ass on the gas, and kept blaming everything else for why he couldn't get up the trail without a lot of help. At one point, our trail leader told him he wouldn't give him anymore assistance bc the guy didn't learn or listen anyway. It reminded me of the shoddy carpenter who blames his tools.

I look forward to wheeling with Mowabb again, soon.

Thanks!
