Not enough ground clearance for the Commander.

Our rear overhang in particular! AKA departure angle

With some skids and some rocker protection and a 2" lift and some really good spotting, an XK could do it. That was some poor wheel placement IMO.

I agree, plus I will be installing a 16 year old rock stacker to help where needed.

Well after waiting till the very last second to finalize plans My family (wife, 7 year old daughter, almost 2 son) and I are coming to this years event, How can I not since it's only a couple hours away. Unfortunately we wont get there till late tues night, I was really looking forward to finishing Tincup but thats okay, take time to feed the chipmunks in St. Elmo. We booked a cabin site at the KOA months ago and we're really looking forward to it!
not trying to be discouraging but looking at the status of the trails listed some still have snow blocking them but they should be fine by the time we get there. Btw here is a link to bushducks for pass status.

I am glad you are going to be able to make it. Too bad you can not get there sooner, but at least you will make it for a couple days. That sight it a good sight since most of us have no idea what the trail status is.
Im sure we will make it all work depending on which trails are open.

I looked over that bushducks site and i see that it does affect some of our trails.I am sure we will still find something to do. Hopefully more of them will be open as we get closer. It looks like we still will have plenty of riding to do....we just may not get to go all the way over some of them. I am guessing the locals will be able to give more info on what our options are when we get there. I am still looking forward to it!
