that is a huge negative. it's something doable but it will take winching and you will more than likely limp off with a season ending injury.

Got you on the maybe list.

Here's the link to the Discovery Center. It is on the North side of the Lake.

You can do it. I did it with a stock 2dr x. It takes a lot of work and you will probably hold up the group for most of the day. But most people enjoy watching stock jeeps do things they probably shouldn't. You will get plenty of body damage in a stock jeep. Lots of work and lots of fun! I would do it in a stock jeep again
