Definately would like some of those frame sliders/rock rails, but $$ comes to mind...lol I was very careful and slow in parts to ensure I didn't take a rock to the door. lol I didn't even air down in fear of loss of clearance. I stoped before "Jaws 1" the first major obsticle. It usually takes out trans pans (my guess), as there is always a fluid trail running from that rock every time I go up there. On the same trail at Jaws 2 many jeeps have rolled down the slope on the side of that obstacle. They have since filled in rock/dirt to make it more safe, but still very dangerous.

I was hailed many times by the rubicons and other lifted jeeps because they were impressed a liberty went up as far as I did. Honestly, every turn of the trail was mor difficult with larger rocks and after every bend I would say..."This is going to be the spot where I have to stop...theres no way I will make it up this", but then there she would go...amazing. :)

Good little jeep. :JEEPIN:

I was wondering how far you made it up. Never been there but always wanted to try it. As you drive by on the highway it is a impressive looking mountain. There is a nice little waterfall on the way to the sand dunes(west side of Blanca) that I walked up to when it was frozen solid. 8)
