I did it for a long time. Hardest part is not letting peer pressure to do an obstacle get to you
I drove my 91 XJ to Tellico and back, wheeling Livingston, KY and Slade, KY along the way.

I drove mine and its nothing special. Did fantastic the whole time. The hottest it got climbing the mountain was 224. Just make sure everything is in good shape. You'll have fun even riding the main trails and watching Brian and Craig.

It won't start when its hot. He killed it at a light and Brad had to unhook his trailer and pull Craig to DQ.
High pressure oil pump, same thing happened to Josh's 250 on the way back from Moab. Doesn't get enough oil pressure for the ECM to fuel the motor unless it's cold oil

Yes, I drove my junk all over the east coast. If you go just have one mantra
"I have to drive it back"
I bypassed a good number of obstacles in Tellico, not because I didn't think we could do them, but because I thought they'd risk drive train damage too much.
"I have to drive it back"
You can still go and have a good time, wheel the easy stuff and watch on the hard. The MJ did drive there and back for 4 years, and the first trip out after trailering it I hosed up way more stuff than I ever broke when I drove it to the trails, simply because I didn't care. Exercise some caution and you'll make it no problem.

Don't be scared to drive it. I done it several times as well. Like Byron said, just don't let peer pressure get the best of you..........and if it does, just be cautious and remember that you're driving it home. Don't let that stop you from going though. It's been done alot of times with success.

That is my friends. I hate mooching off him too much. He uses it for his business (he's a mechanic) so I always feel obligated to pay him for anything he helps me with.

Looks like I screwed up big time on this one, UOFL's opening game is on the fourth.......
So there are two options, we pick another date or I wheel on Friday only..........

If it wasn't a home game and I didn't have season tix it wouldn't be as important.......

Go a week sooner, I will be there August 27th till Sunday with a group, There will probably be a ton of people there on Laborday weekend anyways, place will be like a parking lot
Although I just found out he bought a zj trail rig today so if I can talk him into going and it is at least street legal. We could just tow the one home thats not broke as long as we don't break both of them.

If you follow hobag through lions den or upper damnation you'll break them. Then again if you drive it there you will look at them and not even attempt it!
