I was wondering if anyone had done the White Rim trail in Utah with a stock KJ. I was thinking of traveling to Utah soon, but won't be doing a lift until my Jeep is out of warranty. What other trails would be possible in the area?

Thanks

Drag your KJ out to the Moab 07 Lost Jeep Safari and we will help you find a bunch of cool trails to do in a stock KJ.

That is a really helpful link. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go in April.

I may have missed it, but I didn't see in the postings any info about the ability of a stock KJ doing the trail.

IIRC there is a link in there to some great pics and info about the trail. It was a full size Dodge doing it I beleive. Anyhow, I think a stocker could handle it but I wouldn't do it alone. I would also make sure to have EVERYTHING you could possibly need while running the trail as I heard it is a long one and requires camping on the trail overnight.
I think MOOSE might know more about it and could let you know about doing it in a stock KJ. Sorry you can't make the trip in April.

I know for sure you can do Tower Arch in a stock KJ. It would help if you had gas tank skid because some of the steps come close to the gas tank.

I did the White Rim last May on a supported mountain bike trip. I saw nothing that a completely stock Libby couldn't handle with ease. More than 99% of the trail can be accomplished in 2WD.

You may want to consider The Maze district if you're going to have 2 jeeps. Look at doing a trip to the Doll House. Are you just jeeping, or are you considering hiking/backpacking as well? I recommend this book: http://www.utahtrails.com/StandingRocks.html. A friend of mine who visits Moab regularly thinks this is one of the best jeep trails in the park. He did an out-n-back to the Doll House in a day in a rented, lifted jeep. It came back with damage, and he's very experienced (but when he went with his own rig, no damages, but took 3 days).
