colorado 4 wheeling, please give some advice
Posted: Friday, July 18, 2008 10:03 AM (PST)
heys guys what up, im new to the site and this is my first post... i joined because i will be returning to colorado after my tour in iraq, and plan on doing many outdoor activities. the set up i am planning on is a 2000 wrangler sport, with a 2" rubicon coil spacer, 31" tires, disconnects, and front and rear aussie lockers... i dont want to go too big for gas and comfort as this will be my daily driver. i was just wondering if this set up would be sufficient to make it to the tops of most of these trails... i will not be tackling the tougher obstacles, i will be using the trails mainly for access to scenic camping sites and views. thanks for any input. out

I welcome you back home.  Thank you all for getting the job done over there!  May I suggest 33" tires?  That's only 1" higher clearance than 31s, but that one inch in addition to the larger diameter means a lot when tackling even a small obstacle.  Good guys in this jeep club here.
