My stock Rubicon did everything everyone else did out there...except for one stinking ridge and that was just my choice of lines I decided to take. I have a 2012 2-door with just a leveling kit and that's it. Have fun out there cause your Jeep can handle alot out there.

Are you guys talking about Bridgeport?

If so there is a lone star jeep club run going up there this weekend, so there will be plenty of people to guide you through the trails. Right now there are about 60 people signed up. I am pretty sure the club will let you run with them even if you aren't a member you will just have a sign a waiver with the club.

I ran the 1's and 2's out there by myself when my sport was stock and didn't even disconnect my sway bars... This weekend the club is going to be out there and will guide you through the hard stuff. You will have no problems 1,2,3's with a stock rubi if you just listen to your spotters.

One thing I can say is if you are coming up on a rock or something, most of the time its better to put a tire over the rock rather than try and straddle the rock. You have the most ground clearance along the edge of the tires... if you try to straddle the rock you run the risk of hitting your steering stabalizer, diff covers, oil pan, etc... if you put a tire on it you can come down and worst case you hit your rock rails, which its okay to hit rocks with your rock rails, thats why they call them rock rails. It seems unintative at first but it really works...

You will be running with a bunch of TJ's with like 2 inches of lift and 33's... No offense to the TJ's but I think a stock JK rubi on oem 32's is just as capable if not more so than a mildly lifted TJ off road so you will be fine.

Yep. There is a 4wd park in Bridport, TX just north of the metroplex.
