Looks like Gravy is hooking me up with a cargo carrier that has a significant amount of rise built into it. It will block the back hatch completely but it shouldn't have any impact on departure angle. I'll post pictures of it installed once I get it.

Yeah that makes sense. I went with a C shape instead of a Z because a Z would go right through the bumper and I was thinking I could just notch part of the bumper out with the C shape because the vertical would be just behind (toward the rear) of the bumper. The more I think about it if I am...

One of those may work but I don't know if it would actually help with departure angle. It moves the mount up but it also moves is further back so it might actually make departure angle worse since you have more overhang. What I am trying to do is get a receiver up in approximately the location...

Oh I would absolutely rather pull a small off road trailer but there is a bit of a cost difference between the hitch mount cargo carrier and an off road trailer. This isn't something I would use all the time. Usually trips are just me, the wife and dog and we have plenty of room. Its just the...

Sent you a PM.

I have a trip coming up on presidents day weekend where I am trying to figure out a way to get 4 people, an 80 pound dog and gear for 3 days of camping all in my XJ. I have a roof basket so that helps but am thinking I may also want to add a hitch mount cargo carrier. The issue with that is I...

In both of these areas you can find primitive camping nearby that should have plenty of space for a bunch of rigs and shouldn't be as busy. As Kevin said if you drive down Behind the Reef Road there are a lot of campsites. Near San Rafael Bridge Campground you can head southeast along I San...

I'm planning to be there. I have friends visiting from out of town that are leaving that Friday and my dad is coming into town Saturday evening so it will be a squeeze but I think I can fit it in. Who is planning to head out Friday and camp? I would like to if there are other people that are.

Thanks everybody. I was able to get everything on this list of wants. Now to start thinking about what the next thing to get for the XJ will be. I'm thinking rock sliders at this point.

Had an awesome time on my first RME run. Got to really test out my new lift and was surprised at what I could do on my 29" tires. Only dragged my rear diff a little bit.

Test

Any estimate on how long we will be out tomorrow?

Many years ago I was leaving a party with a friend and my car was parked on the side of the road. He jumped over the ditch to pee in the weeds. All the sudden I hear a scream and he collapsed. Turns out those weeds had an electric fence running through them. So maybe the advice should be check...

This is the address of the Chevron we are meeting at correct? 36 W 1400 N, Saratoga Springs, UT 84045

I'll be there. I've got a shovel and some cheaper maxtrax copies that I recently got that I wouldn't mind testing out.

I'm not sure if I am going to have front recovery points installed by tomorrow. You think its still OK for me to come if I don't have them?

Agility Customs hooked me up with a hitch they had laying around and they also had a receiver shackle they thew in. Got that and my gas tank skid plate installed tonight. Picked up a good condition full size spare at the junkyard. Now I just need front tow hooks. Jedi said he had some he...

Awesome. Sent you a private message.

Thanks. I'll check out Midnight 4x4. They are about 3 minutes from my house.

Assuming I can acquire and install a hitch and front tow hooks by Saturday morning is an XJ on 3.5" lift with 235/75R15 (29") all terrain tires and a Spartan auto-locker in the rear suitable for this run? Would it be foolish to do this without a full size spare? Any suggestions on a local place...
