I followed some Jeeps on the following trails:

Golden Spike
Gold Bar
Hells Revenge (including Hells Gate)
Fins & Things
Poison Spider
Cliffhanger :confused:

A couple of these trails were pushing the limits of the 100, at least my 100. Many obstacles i could climb with great traction, while some of the Jeeps would spin their tires. Cliffhanger was insane! I was able to do all the obstacles that the Jeeps did. The Jeep guys labeled me the "Green Goat"

My recommendations for Moab trails that I drove are listed below. Its possible that some easier trails could be conquered without some of these items, but I used everything, a lot.

Lockers, front and rear
Sliders
Bumpers
Good front axles (not aftermarket junk) I witnessed front axles braking on this trip.
All Terrain tires 33"
2.5" lift
Skid plates!! I had none:eek:

Also, I will give huge credit to the guys that built my bumpers and sliders!!!!! I really put these to the test and they handled everything, with no problem. Bump It Off Road rear, high clearance bumper and BIO sliders are awesome!! I slammed that rear bumper and sliders on big rocks SOOOOOO many times, no issues. Dissent front bumper is fabulous!!! I had all the weight of my vehicle on one corner while grinding on a rock and didn't bend at all. Outstanding clearance on both bumpers.

WOW...
 
Nice job, Cliff hanger looks amazing, I did hells revenge in a 99 rear locked. The traction was amazing, as was the very vertical terrain the grip allows you to drive. All that completely terrified my wife. I wish, I had more than a half day.

Go Green Goat! I love surprising the jeepers and then rolling up the windows to keep the AC inside. :-)
 
Hey Ben... I may want to get back on the list for a rear bumper ;-)

That could be a commercial for a rear bumper. Your lines looked dead-on, but still these wagons drag. Nice work!
 
Nice report! Glad everything performed well.
 
That's some dang fine driving skills right there. Looks like an awesome trip
 
Wow... Definitely makes a good case for locking up the front and rear! I've been eyeing those bumpers as well.. Great trip recap - Thanks for sharing!

What year is your 100, do you have ATRAC?

98 and no ATRAC. That wouldnt have cut it, front and rear lockers were the way to go. I might have been able to get by with just the rear locker on 80% of stuff but I would have been spinning tires a lot. There was a handful of ledges that I needed the front. Im speaking of the tough trails though. There were some mellow trails that were still fun and crazy where lockers weren't needed.
 
That one ledge at the 2:00 minute mark in the video IIRC was where someone blew a front diff.
