Doing the Rubicon in a *stock* XJ
 

A friend with a 98 TJ wants to go, but he has 4-6 inches of lift, 33+
inch tires, lockers front and rear, and skids :/

Are the bypasses doable in a stock XJ, or would I still need skid
plates (at the very least)??

(95 XJ, 4.0, Auto, part time, 29" tires, no tow hooks up front -
receiver hitch hook for the rear)

TIA

....

Yes, some pull trailers through, and according to Dieter, even the Libby
can make it: http://www.----------.com/temp/libby.mov

Put some tow hooks on it: http://jeephorizons.com/tech/xj_hook.html and:

you get brave, you don't want to yank the axle out.

There are many published reports of stock jeeps making it through but
not really easily.
