If you go, you have to do bronco connector from the campground and not turn around at the hill.
Heh, I've seen ocean jet's Jeep post bronco peak turn around. It's grown. I was over at his place last month and I didn't recognize it. He must be gearin up for another shot at BP.

I was chuckling (old person laugh) when reading that Superstition doesn't have any good 4X trails.
Yes it does, and some real nasty ones as well.
Maybe its time for a Chapter run out there.

Hehe, gave it some JGH? (Jeep Growth Hormone) Ron Dowda barely made the peak with his doulber 160:1 crawl in his 4runner. He was on 35's, it was in slow motion watching the passenger rear tire just grab and slowly crawl up that rock. There's a bypass now.

For the guys that have done the trails out there, I heard that they have some you can do In a stock Cherokee. Is this true?

Whoa, someone has a stock cherokee?
Yeah, there's a few, Sidewinder comes to mind. All the tough stuff has bypasses, and built rigs darn near drive it at highway speeds. First mod I'd recommend before you go to any trail would be a set of rock rails like AJ's super rails, also some JKS miniskids on the front axle lca mounts. You should also get some factory tow hooks up front and a factory rear hitch. Sidewinder will have you scraping in a couple spots. Oh, there's also gunslinger which is pretty much a fireroad, and one other one which eludes me. The hardest trail out there is Bronco connector followed by bronco peak. If you can't get past the connector you're not going up the peak either. The connector is right at the campground, so on weekends there's lots of spectators watching you beat your junk.

Sounds good to me. It would give me an excuse to get out there. Really only been there once, and it was just after I had swapped over the parts onto the new Jeep so I took a easy-moderate run.

x2. you can go up bronco the easy way in a stock cherokee as long as you come back down the same way. sidewinder is a fun one too with a few more butt puckering moments for a stock rig. but its not too bad. but skids are your friend. ive done both in my stock XJ multiple times.

When was the last time you were on Bronco? It's gotten harder after the rains of last year.
Yes you can get to it from gunslinger, but I wouldn't recommend a stock XJ try it going up from the campground. You can take a stock jeep up to the peak on bronco but I wouldn't go down it, that's where all the fun begins. We've watched groups turn around when they saw us coming up and struggling.

Superstion run here we come. You guys can show me what iv been missing.
I heard the bypass can get a little tippy as you cross by that big rock.
Shouldn't matter though.. I don't plan on using the bypass...

X2, I wouldn't recommend a stock Jeep on Bronco anything as it is now at all. If anything, do Sidewinder first in a stock Jeep (as long as it had sliders and tow points). There are bypasses for practically everything, and it's a shorter trail.

OK! Back on topic. Totally down for a Supersittion Run.
When are we going?
Moab the second week next month of October and Rockin Jambo is the third full week in November. So either between there, or after both (if any of our rigs are still in one piece).

i did sidewinder with no bypasses and no rock rails and never got stuck, in my stock XJ. same goes for going to the top of bronco, but again it was the easier way from the gravel parking lot and not the campground. i went early last month
