I've been wanting to do this trail to Como Lake but I'm not sure the Libby is up to the task. This is one of the hardest rated trails in CO. Like most I have the 2.5 inch lift, but I've got an AirLocker in the rear as well.

i ran it about 3 years ago when i was still driving a tj (33's/locked/4" lift) and still had problems on jaws 2 and 3. i know they made some changes after that guy rolled off one of the obstacles (and consequently, off of the mountain) and died. i think it was jaws 2. they basically widened the trail at that part for safety. even with that obstacle out of the equation, i dont think it would be doable in a kj (short of one with a sfa conversion). i guess with enough armor and a winch it would be possible

you may want to ask for the current trail condition over at colorado4x4.org. those guys used to run it quite a bit

I hiked it a few years back.(To the summit of Blanca Peak) And I'm not sure a 2.5" lifted Liberty could make the obsticles on this trail. Even fully locked and disco'd woulbe unlikely, but maybe????That is a truly hard core trail.
