TRAIL DAMAGE: I give up. My jeep has gone through a LOT and has had plenty of trail damage to prove it. Many of the upgrades listed have been the result of broken parts, from the full width axles to the oil pan skid plate, even to the fact that my front Warn bumper has been cut to "shorty" length. Rest assured, I have broken way too much junk and spent way too much money fixing it all over the years!

Favorite Colorado Trail: Blanca Peak
Why? This trail ROCKS. Great scenery, and awesome technical stuff (and quite a bit of pucker-factor) on Jaws 1-3.
Extremely close second is Liberty trail in the Independence Trail system. Blanca still wins, though, due to its overwhelmingly better scenery.
Favorite Utah Trail: Green Day
Why? Really fun trail with consistent challenges throughout, while still being doable for normal (non-buggy) rigs.
Least Favorite Trail: Hey Joe Canyon
Why? Encroaching trees WILL scratch your paint a LOT. Not really worth it in a Jeep. If you have an ATV or Motorcycle (or don't mind longer trails on a bicycle), though, I do suggest doing this trail to the end to explore the abandoned Uranium mine at the end.
