David P 32 Posted December 14, 2024 I’m interested to join this event. I drive 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 31” terrain tires 2” lift but no skid plate and no lockers. I am deaf and can’t speak. I need to follow the leader or in the middle of the group for safety reasons. Let me know if it is doable for me. Thanks. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Bowers 457 Posted December 14, 2024 (edited) Dave, I think that hearing issues can be handled, the 31” tires could be a problem no a couple of the bumpy climbs and a decent off of Vulture Arch. Why dont you text me at 623-432-2895 and I can tell you more about the ride conditions and you can tell me about you off road experience and equipment.
