Decided to take the doorless XJ through (what appeared to be) a mudhole at MSORP this past weekend since a stock YJ went through and got hung but I thought my lift and tire size would put me above the waterline. Big mistake. 4" of standing MUD water in the Cherokee.

Also, had a buddy following us that decided things work better on the side.

Up past the Rock Garden loop above Flash Over, Full Throttle and Thrill Hill there is a red gate that goes back up to a HUGE overlook. Bob opened the gate to let us back there and it was on the main trail. Here is the YJ that got stuck right before I went through.

That mudhole swallowed the 42's on Frank. Did that water mess the seat up any?

Is that Bad Egg, where the TJ flopped? That hill looks like fun on some of the Youtube vids, I can't wait to run MSORP!

Mud! I HATE the stuff!

No it was above what the park owner called Escalator. I went up first and he was following a ways behind me and went up the rock face to high ad the pass tire dropped in that hole and pivoted. Only reason I didn't flop was cuz I stayed further to the right than I thought I did LOL. It was only the 2 of us that took that line and it was pretty cool. Not many people have ran it cuz there was grass and not many tire tracks.
