You should be fine for most of the trails. When i was there i ran 35s and open diffs. Did need to winch in a few spots but since there is a group i wouldnt worry too much.

This would be great if we could pull this together.........I'm game....I'll throw my hat in on this one......you guys travel west from NY on I-78 to Harrisburg then I-70 through Columbus and Indianapolis to St.Louis.......I'll head up from Ft.Lauderdale through Atlanta and Nashville and we'll meet up in St.Louis (St.Louis could be the meeting hub for the East Coasters from the north or south).......Meet & Greet...organize a plan then head west from St.Louis on I-70 through Kansas City, Denver, Grand Junction on to Crescent Junction (side trip on 191 to Moab) back on I-70 west to I-70/I-15 exchange......I-15 south through Las Vegas and into the State of California.......arriving in Orange County
I made a similar trip in reverse in a Grand Cherokee and it took me 18 days to complete (one way).....alternating camping and hotels along the way to save whatever $$ I could........had a blast......saw some amazing sites along the way......America the beautiful is an understatement.......Speak up people if you are interested.......you only live once!
Cheers:beer:

Woody, you got it man. You only live once! Been trying to get more folks in on the trip up here but i frankly get alot of excuses.
Once we cross the border, we head west at syracuse, through Cleveland, to Denver and to Moab. Took us pretty much three days. Only stopped for gas and sleep.
What trails you guys looking at doing?

Thats pretty much our plan. Get out there quick and enjoy. We were thinking of going down to St George and run the maze and maybe one other trail but gotta get more info on that area first.

Knowing how our vacation picks work, we will be in the straight there and back category. I hope that the wife and I can get at least 10-14 days off to do this... If we do get off the only thing that might slow us down is my crackhead dog. May have to bring the pup along too.... we are having a meeting tonight with some jeep guys that we hang out with. I am going to pitch it to them as well... I hope to get at least one other Texas rig coming up with us... The wife is all for it... like I mentioned before, it has been on our bucket list for some time now..

Good idea. Ill include how they are built and important gear we are bringing.
Kev - Ottawa canada. 4 jeeps.
All running 2.5 inch lifts and 35s (mine is 4 inches and 37s). I have a winch and full recovery gear. Bringing full tools including a stick welder, maybe getting a mobi-welder for this trip. This is my second trip.

Would love to be part of this trip. Was wondering how long this is gonna take. I could get max 3 weeks off from work and would be leaving Boston Ma to meet up with you guys. How would this trip progress. Do you hunker down and drive out there as quick as possible and what would the timeline look like when we get there. Have you looked into specific details of lodging trip ideas etc and destinations. Wanted to make a trip to Colorado and do the san Juan mtns but this would be great with the caravan of jeeps. Could be a trip of a lifetime. Love the idea and am subscribed to this thread

Our plan is to blast out there as fast as we can. Takes about three days. Team Canada was looking at renting a house but plans are still in the works. There is tons of places to stay there, hotels, cabins, houses. We rented a tiny cabin in the OK RV park last year. It was super small but cheap and everyone drove a jeep there. Met so many cool people and still keep in touch to this day. I think we are planning to stay 10 days if i remember correctly. Funny you mention Colorado, my wife and i were talking about exploring that area on the way back.

Sweet pictures right there. Again would love to get in on this trip could be epic. Can't wait to see where this goes. Defiantly want in on this. Anyone else near Massachusetts wanna join in and head out together. What will you guys be bringing for gear seeing that storage is an issue in JKs.
