A7XJ 1 Posted January 5, 2014 I want in. I have 32" bfg all terrains and a rear locker. I have run woodpecker and ajax trails, is this any more difficult than those? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzJeepChic 2,897 Posted January 5, 2014 I want in. I have 32" bfg all terrains and a rear locker. I have run woodpecker and ajax trails, is this any more difficult than those? Yes, Mud Springs is much more difficult than Woodpecker (used to be) and Ajax. I don't know anything about your Jeep or what experience you have. We'd like to have more people on this trip so I'll add you to the list, but please let us know how your Jeep is set up for lift, skid plates and such. There's a video somewhere around here that shows some of the difficult spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A7XJ 1 Posted January 6, 2014 I have decent wheeling experience, been wheeling since 2002, took the last couple of years off though. Jeep is set up with mostly stock drivetrain, except for SYE and locked in the rear. Stock gas tank and t-case skid. Well used rock sliders. No front bumper so no front tow point until I finish the front bumper. Rear C-Rok bumper with tow point. 4" rock krawler long arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read the 1st post & bring the spare stuff & tools mentioned just in case. I'd rather you DO have a front tow point than NOT, so if possible get something, but if not I guess we'll see. See you in a few weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Front tow points are a definite plus. you can pick up an 01 front tow brackets for cheap from a pic and pull junk yard for around 25.00. Or this is a great deal on the rugged ridge http://www.ebay.com/itm/11236-05-HEAVY-DUTY-TOW-HOOK-PAIR-KIT-RUGGED-RIDGE-JEEP-CHEROKEE-XJ-1984-2001-/261090569946?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACherokee&hash=item3cca35eeda&vxp=mtr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number7 89 Posted January 6, 2014 A winch would be the best, that way you could use the vehicle in front of you as an anchor and pull yourself. I have seen broken axles by people strapping stuck rigs. George:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A7XJ 1 Posted January 8, 2014 I will work on getting my front bumper finished enough to install, also need to do the brakes and get it registered. I will have my two sons with me on the trail (5 & 2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
