Chewie and Axle hill may need smaller bumps to get up smaller ledges and sandy rocks. Rocker Knocker is where most people break. But that's usually lead footed people.
right on, i am going to try and step it up to 35's and armor up. but that all depends o itf i can sell my other car...

best way is to take the unit bearing off to check it, other things like bad tre's and bad ball joints will mask a bad unit bearing if you just jack it up and wiggle the tire

tell me about it, i was having issues on chain big time, i wish we would have gotten pic or video of my driving on 2 wheels in reverse for 20-30' to avoid a hard flop.

and josh's jeep did great and somehow only shoved the slider into the rocker panel. he somehow managed to keep the body straight. all though we didn't take him on the extreme trails, just the hard ones

i think everyone should forget the tera$hit all JK show and come play at jacob city with us. much funner plus if you go to MMP on a weds you can play on the course all you want from 5-8 for 20 bucks

so why go when it is crowded

I have run Pritchett recently, but not Behind the rocks. On Pritchett, Camel is right. I was on my current set up at about 6"-6.5" of lift and 35s. I didn't touch my front bumper, hit my slider a couple times but it could have been avoided. I bumped my rear bumper several times. Overall, it was not hard on the armor at all. It is drivetrain parts and diffs that get the biggest workout.
