I'm interested in joining the group but unsure if I have the proper hardware... You could say I have a stock 07' JKU, would that be ok?

Do you have Rock Rails, Diff Covers, a winch, tow points.....a Lift? I wouldn't recommend a completely stock Jeep going through.

I do have rock rails and tow points that's about it. Thanks for the info, I think I'll just wait until I get the lift done. Enjoy the trip, I'll be looking forward to the next time.

We wheel the Con at least 5 times a year as well as other fun trails. I'll be sure to keep everyone in the loop on any and all runs!

Yeah, you definitely want at least a 2.5" lift, full skids (oil & tranny especially), front/rear diff covers, & front swaybar disconnects. Control arm and rear shock skids I wish I would have done.

Some guys have run 33's but I would recommend at least 35's especially if you're only doing a small 2.5" lift.

Jeff, I'll be there Friday morning. Still unsure if I'll leave Friday with Asinine or Saturday with your friend. See you then.

Thanks for the run Jeff, was fun. I think I got off the trail at about 1:30. Was bogged down behind those same people until Little Sluice. I didn't take many pics, but here's a couple:

On the way out of Loon, I helped tow an old guy in a CJ back to his campsite. +1 Jeep Karma. Stopped at hardware store to get a bolt to get my sway bar connected and was back on the high way for the long ride home.
