    I can't wait to get out to Moab! I'm curious to see how my 2 door will handle some of these same climbs. Did you see many 2 doors out there with the shorter wheelbase? How did they handle some of these climbing obstacles?

    Im going to say your at a disadvantage with the 2 door vs. 4 door in Moab, or any rock crawling really. Your truck will do fine, dont get us wrong. There is nothing out there that you can't do, But there are some places where the long wheel base is more stable.

    For instance, on "white knuckle hill" we'll tie a strap to the back of your truck to keep it from going nose over.

    I'll find some video of this.

    I was holding the strap by myself, you'll be fine! You just need to hire Larry to spot you.

    The angle of that descent on that last obstacle would be a NIGHTMARE in a 2 door. The extra wheelbase in the 4 door works miracles sometimes.

    Agreed.

    You will be terrified a lot of the time. A lot of the 2 doors on the trail have stretched wheel bases.

    Having perused the pics on these posts, flipped through countless magazines and now with a Rubicon I'm not missing Moab or the EJS one more year! I'm stuck in Afghanistan right now but heading home for good next March/May (2016). Does most everyone camp out? Taking a recon out there next month on vacation and will let everyone know how it is in mid-July through mid-August! If we don't dry up and blow away. LOL
