Can a stock Sasquatch 2 door with side steps do this without damage?

Yes, if your careful. @NORCALGXP in his 2 door wildtrack has done it while stock or close to it.

1” over Sasquatch using 4wp coilovers. 3” body lift with some trimming to clear 37x13.5 Cooper STT. No cv upgrades. For steering, Broncbuster bushing and brace for little over a year but just received the 74weld rack and Icon tie rods that I need to install.

I've done it in our completely stock Sas Badlands 4dr. I did replace the stock sas tires with TOYO Mts in factory sizing. I did get one pretty decent ding in the lower passenger front door. Had the doors been off I would have probably been ok. If I was going to do one improvement to help stop body damage it would probably be sliders that offer more strength and stand out from the body a little further than the stock sliders. Had I had sliders I would not have had any damage to the door.

Are you talking about Bowman lake off highway 20. If so it is open now.

Good stuff man! We need to wheel again soon. I’m hitting up Rubicon in my XJ a few times in July. Trying to get my Bronco sorted out so I can start hitting the rubicon with it as well. Might head in a bit from the Cantina. We will see.

Hoping for a trip there next year. Would you thing September would be a good time to go? If not, what is the best time. Trying to avoid crowdedness.

I like September for the awesome weather. October too if the weather is good. Just check the Rubicon pages on Fb or the RTF pages for any events. Let me know when you’re ready and I’ll be there!

is it open only on the 20 side or is the 80 side open?

We like to take the 80 route and camp at sawmil

My setup at the time was stock SAS with 35s Bfgs which are taller than the stock Goodyears. The only damage was on the cross bars under the transmission. Still straight but the lips are bent.

Not sure about 80. Our group went from 20

Yeah, that's why I replaced the factory sliders on my Badlands with ZroadZ. My ding isn't that bad, I'd call it more like a scratch, but it convinced me to get something that sticks out a bit from the body.

I haven't been there since 2004. We took 3 Subarus through a bunch of it.
