    Thumbs up

    I took my stocker to Moab this year for the 1st time, only changes I had made were replacing OEM shocks, putting RanchoXL's on, transfer case skid plate and 255/55/18 tires. No lift, no TB cranks. I did scrape the front & rear lowest part of the cladding (not visible at normal view), and bent the OEM tailpipe a little. I did 2 trails (Fins & Things and Hell's Revenge) which are both rated as "difficult", and had no problems. I did pass on trails that had larger rocks/shelfs because of my stock height and my desire to not rip the heck out of my undercarriage.

    Checkout my gallery for many pics of several different off road terrains/locations I've been, maybe you can use them to gauge the terrains your stocker can EASILY handle. Note, I have gotten bigger tires since Moab...I got Cooper Zeon LTZs in 285/60-18, with more aggressive tread, I gained 1.21" in height with just this tire change, so next yr in Moab I'll have even more fun!

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
