Just hit redbird SRA the other day in my "semi" stock Overland. Able to do 5 and 3 with little to no issues. 3X was a bit of a problem along with 2X. Did what I could. But without a winch or someone with one its a wrap.

Schnebly Hill, Sedona, AZ. You'll roll a few 8" plus rocks underneath, but perfectly doable.

So I have more than a few weeks to plan my trip, but when I fly out to TN to pick up my JTRD from Gupton I want to do as many trails as I can on the way back to here in CA. I am planning on doing Rubicon on the way home. I use to live in Tahoe, but live in the bay area now. But I have done the trail enough times that I think I can do it stock with the go arounds. I was in Moab in Aug doing bike riding and hiking and saw some amazing trails by slick rock so I figure I would maybe try and hit that as well on the way back. But thats the farthest East that I have gone with 4 wheeling. So with that said. Does anybody know what I can straight off the show room floor. Since Im flying out I am not going to have any recovery equipment with me. I might pack a strap or 2 in my carry on. I am going to be on the stock 33 MTs. While I dont mind some scrapes on my skids or rock rails I DO NOT REALLY WANT TO HAVE ANY TRAIL DAMAGE to the paint or anything like that. If its to hairy I will just back it down, but I also dont want to spend hours going out of my way just to find out that I cant make it up the trail. I am planning on taking 4-7 days maybe a bit more for the trip home. But if theres some fantastic trails that I can hit on the way that would be awesome. I will probably be going up to Ohio/Michigan to drop off my dad and friend who lives out that way. I am trying to get some friends to drive out and meet up with me in UT and so we can have a train and drive back. In which case they will be slightly modified Tacoma and Silverado. Once I get to the Rubicon I can have alot of my friends meet me up there since many are just a few miles away.
They have difficulty ratings on the app as well as reviews.

We shall use that word loosely. Lets just say I wheeled it just how I got it from Guptons hahahaha. Mopar 2in lift and 37s. I went up to caddy hill and back. Its 7 miles from my parents house so Ive done it a time or 2 before which obviously helps.

I guess the diesel probably makes up for the gearing a little. Any power problems with 37’s and 4:10 gears?

We just did Big Bear "Badge of Honor", Holcomb Creek Trail this past Saturday. It is a fantastic, beautiful, long, hard, trail. We did not get out until it was dark, and we started around 10 am. Lots of big boulders and Rock Gardens. I have plenty of armor, 37's, and 3.5 inch lift. Expect scrapes, and rock sliders are almost mandatory. We had great spotters and got through without real breakage. Personally, I would not attempt it stock, but, it can be done with a great spotter and moving rocks I guess. Here is a pic that Ron (averagetacoguy) took of us completing the trail and coming through the last obstacle. Love this pic.

Sounds good. I’m not a massive fan of shelf roads, but the rest of black bear looks like it’s worth it. What’s included in the list. Imogene, engineer? Can the whole loop be done in one day, or camp one night?
Agreed. Black bear will scare me, but I’m still doing it.
