I'm running stock on 30s, you just need to think about what youre going to do before you do it, watch the guy in front of you and judge accordingly. Plus make sure if youre running mostly stock follow a guy who's running bigger tires and lift, they ll pack down the trail for you, so you won't have to go peddle to the metal through known terrain.

Just interested in where you guys mean.  Maybe it is with certain snow?  I only drove them once, last March and we did them all in 3 hours.  No stucks, just drove through.  The one from the middle of Meadow Creek north to the road is steep and slippery for sure.  That day, without chains, it would not have been possible.  But still don't recall any places that I would be worried about losing a truck.

Just wondering where.  If there a bad spot, it would be nice to avoid if you have new guys along.

Johnny is exaggerating a little when he says "eater"  There have just been two JK's this winter that were stock wheels/Suspension that went through and got some body work done.

Just an update.

This is going ahead, the projected high on Sunday is going to be -8*C so having the correct clothing and extras is essential.

We will be doing the winter loop, but depending on how many vehicle show up and how many people want to, there is always the option for some to split off into a second group. If that is the case, no one will be wheeling alone. All efforts will be made to make it back to the trailhead at a reasonable time but due to the nature of wheeling in the winter, I can't make any guarantees about arrival time.

Please read and follow the requirements on the first page, tow points are NOT optional, neither are warm clothes and food/water for passengers. If you show up with no tow points you will not be able to wheel. 31" tires with good tread and either MT or AT tread, if you are in doubt over this you can PM me. Be prepared to air your tires down to about 15psi, may of us have OBA and airing up after the run will not be a problem.

Waivers will be signed either in the parking lot at Smitties or the gravel pit, if you are not a CJA member you have to sign one. Please show up on time, we are leaving the parking lot in Cochrane at 9:30 sharp.

Any questions, comments, concerns feel free to PM me.

Well now a stock JK and a stock Rubicon JK are slightly different but in the end I agree.

This spot is easily avoided without taking a different trail.  IIRC it is at the top of Cabin Creek Trail and rather than running the cut you just get up on the high side on the left and go around the hump.

me? exaggerate? NEVER hahaha ;)

its the little birm/spot and the way the stock JK fenders are and stuff, if your wheels don't stick out a bit you'll catch some body.... you wouldn't even notice it in a modified rig......

Ahh, so the far north end of the loop?  Yes, there are two official trails there.  Or maybe you mean somewhere else.  There are a few bypasses of the cutlines.

Okay, count me in as a probably.  I gotta get an official CJA run in so I can get my membership!  Plus this has been a really bad week, and I need to blow off some steam.  Nothing more relaxing than 12 hours in my Jeep. :-)
