Well, my 95XJ with 4"lift and 31"BFG M/T did fine. But we had quite the experience. I got there about 12 midnight and that was our first mistake. We got to the other side of the first big hill and down it then I was flexing up on a wall type thing then all of the sudden my buddy was like "dude, you got something hanging down." I took a look at it and my lower control arm snapped off. The bracket that holds the axle onto it snapped. It was horrible. I tied it up and we kept going. Heres where the real shi%ty part came in. The guy that I went with just bought a 89 wrangler all stock. It had the worst tires on it so it got stuck at least 15 times. I had to drive most the trail for him. I would drive my truck, stop, get out, and walk to his truck to get it unstuck everytime. It was horrible. I managed to break his mirror and hit a tree because we had to go around this one part in the trees. (I am all about treading lightly and it was our only option. I always stay on the trail and felt really bad going off of it but I had to get him out of this mess.) So, eventually we got done. (at about 4am.) Then on our way out, these dumb drunk high school girls had to get a ride from me into town because they took their subaru up and got stuck. Go figure, the subaru got stuck. Finally I got home about 6am and it sucked. What a night. By the way Slaughter house has gotten a lot tougher since the last time I was there. I think it has to do with snowmelt and all of that. It was very rutted in places. I would just like to say too that I am proud of myself getting my friend unstuck everytime without busting out the towrope. And my jeep had NO problems. I didnt get stuck once. Im proud of myself. Later.
