A friend of mine wants me to go with him to Moab in 2 weeks. He's going to rent a TJ in town and do Elephant Hill, White Rim Trail & Poison Spider Mesa. We both figure my stock Renegade could do the White Rim w/o a problem, and Elephant Hill with care; however he feels that Poison Spidr Mesa would cause major damage w/o an upgrade. Has anyone here at LOST been over PSM? In a KJ? Any opinions about how a stock Renegade would do?

Thanks in advance.

KJs have run PSM many times. Take a look at the latest shots:

Recommend skids, including tranny, limited slip diff. Expect your stock rock rails to get mashed. A lift would help but if your friends have tow straps that'll get you though any issues. Guys have run it with stock tires.

There are a few spots that you will really be beating up your belly w/out a lift and larger tires and All skids would be mandatory underneath a stocker for sure. You could always ride along w/ him if possible. Great trail to see even from the passenger seat.

that place is where parts of my "round tube" rock rails became "square" -

OK. I have 4 factory skids from the off-road group, and I'm not sure if I've got the Limited slip or not. So unless I stop by Rock Lizard's on the way out, I'll just park her that day.

Thanks guys.

take the bypasses(on the optional stuff, like wedgy and at the end of the waterfall-towards the top), if you got full skids underneath and stock rock rails go for it. expect to bang them up and MAYBE need a tug in 1 spot.

If you are unexperienced then this might be a little hard as it can be techinical... but yeah it can be done.
