Wish I could make it but I have a wedding to go to... just curious though would a mostly stock xj with 235/75r15 mud tires have a problem with where the cleanup will be? I have the back lifted 1.5" and the front lifted 3/4"... I'm new to the McLean area and Jeeps I had an f150 before but never took it to McLean...

Right on... are there ways to know which trails require more lift than others?

Try finding some stocker friendly open runs,
Most members who are willing to lead a run are going to be fairly competent deciding trail difficulty.

Wish I could make it out, but highschool grad on friday  ;D
Going to be either super hungover or still drunk haha.

I'm in...couple questions
-is this still a go regardless of the weather or conditions?
-I assume we work in groups?
-Stock Rubicon JKU is ok?
             -no CB
             -no winch
Also, unfortunately my wife will be using the truck so I can not haul the garbage away.

As much as I hoped to be able to participate, my jeep will still be in the shop and I will be on an Airplane coming home from Houston.

In years past most of the haul has been from Fisher West below the Widowmaker, I can get my F-250 4X4 with an 8' box in there, as long are the no new "suprises".  Would that help?  Let me know and I will empty it out.

I'll be there -  but with my stock TJ and winch. Hopefully there will be some similar rigs that I could team up with.

There is a large trench cut on the road to widow maker, No problem for Jeeps but I'm pretty sure they built it to keep stock trucks out.
Maybe somebody who's been out lately in a truck can chime in.
