7/23 Big Bear

[blackZZR]

in big bear on thebull I would have rockers and a steering skid minimum.
I do not really think you will NEED other than that but corner guards would be nice. nothing is so severe that you will need dif guards or engine skid.
2 inches of lift and 31a will make the bukk nice 3 inches with 33s make it a breeze, but remember 2 organized events have brought stock jeeps though it since May. without the rockers you just need to pay a lot more attention to where your tires are.

You should probably talk to Jeri-Lyn about not caring about rocker guards. She had first hand experience without them, and the frustration that goes with trying to undo the damage to get some to fit. Oh, and she did it in Big Bear.

There was already alot of damage on them when i bought it...those are next on my list of upgrades.

[blackZZR]

I wouldn’t worry about it Jermy01. (Example) I ran Doran & Odessa with no problems and they recommended that rigs should have double lockers and 35' tires minimum. If their is a good spotter, witch I know there will be, you shouldn’t have to worry about breaking or damaging your rig if you know what you rig can and cant do. Sometimes $hit happens when you least expect it, wheather your on rocks or a flat dirt trail. Just join us dude and have a fun day at BB.

Exactly. It's more a "software" (driver) issue than hardware (vehicle) issue.

Pay attention - you can get a stock TJ on 30" tires through 99% of the SBNF. Don't pay attention, you can get a YJ with 7" of lift, locked both ends on 35's stuck on a rock on John Bull

lol......thats so true.........

[JeepGal]

i dont have rocker guards or oil pan skid either....but then agina i dont care about my rockers. without knowing the trails i think you shouldn't have a prob...especially with a good spotter. hope to c u there.

I just remembered you had a XJ. FYI, I believe (and correct me if Im wrong XJ owners), since XJs are unibody, arent the rocker areas a structural component of the rig itself? Id be a bit careful if I were you.
