Potts Mountain

School me on Potts mountain trail...
What are the minimum requirements for the trail?

I have a ZJ with 4.5" lift, 33's, locked in the front and no skids. Is this do-able?

I've heard the trail has gotten worse lately? Is this true?

Is the rear open? I would go with someone who has run the trail before or at least a winch on another vehicle.

I just went yesterday for my first time and was a little overwhelmed on a few obstacles. But made it thru with minimal rock stacking and a good spotter (thanks Zack, Peter, Josh, and John)

Never go wheeling alone and youll be fine.

well i have no skid plates and 31" all terrains and made it through with minimal damage. But that was with quite a bit of rock stacking and great spotting by Zack as well as having a tug to make it up a few things.
