A rear locker or traction control was required for one portion of the trail. Lots of respect for the traction control on the newer trucks. The Range Rover full size did surprisingly well. When even the trucks with rear lockers were struggling. Traction control pulled it trough. The open/open trucks needed a pull. The hill climb I’m referring to is on the north end of Rowher trail next to the lake. Extreamly steep double black diamond, rutted out from failed attempts.

97 D1. 2+' lift, open country M/T, TR bumpers and supporting recovery gear. still chasing down some of the PO neglect, but its a fun little rescue. I would have been stuck on the trail if i went this trip. A trans cooler line ended up rupturing while out and about saturday.

sounds like a sweet setup. We are doing Miller Jeep in May. Date is still up in the air. I will probably post it up here soon. I think the percentage of people on this forum that wheel is pretty low. But I’ll post it up anyway for details and a headcount.

Can a stock 02 discovery with all terrain tires make it up the Miller Jeep trail?

There are a few of us that wheel on here. You are just the wrong end of the country for me. Looks like you had a lot of fun though
