Will this run be "stocker friendly?"

I too would like to come. I have a 2009 Grand Cherokee with 31s and would like to try it out. Is this going to be a fairly easy run as I really dont want to break anything.

I hear it will be stocker friendly.  However you might be scratching the paint job on some branches etc.

be wary of that 'trail rated' emblem on the jeep.........

last time we went wheeling with late model jeeps *cough* 08' Liberty *cough*  they were less than thrilled about the scratches/body damage that ensued ;)

but i think its cool to wheel Grand Cherokees ;)

It is a stocker friendly run, you will probably get some rocky mountain pin striping and bottom out here and there.  A stock jeep should make it though.

I think I may pass if the trails are full of branches as I dont want to scratch the paint. I have been out to a few trails in MacLeans where branches wont be an issue>

Trail Rated as in Deerfoot Trail ?

Deerfoot trail? That's actually a challenge for some of the vehicles carrying the Jeep emblem today.
Maybe Stony trail. The pavement is a little smoother.
