Can we just make sure we stay on topic and ONLY bash MOAB’s, not Sahara’s. Thanks.
Sahara’s are safe from me, they are their own jeep not trying to be something they’re not . A “poser”, if you will. :giggle:

You must be wheeling behind people or on trails with people who run tiny tires.
In the areas I've taken my Jeep to I think have mainly seen ATV traffic only. The deepest ruts I've seen were from rain erosion rather than tires. I also take steps to avoid high centering myself by not putting my tires in those ruts but straddling.

The trails I used to run back in OK, AR, VA usually had those HUGE ruts caused by 40" and larger tires and they were between trees that you couldn't generally go around them. You tried to stay on the center humps but invariably slid in since the mud was usually that red clay stuff.

ah yeah I haven't been to Uwharrie yet, so I'll see how well she does in a heavily trafficked area in a few months. :)

I had no problems on Blue and Green trails in my stock 2015 2 door Sahara. But the humps are pretty tall and the trails narrow. Always wondered if I would have scraped in a 4 door.

For you Moab guys, do the Pro Rock Rails stick out enough to use as a step? My wife is vertically challenged but I don't want to go after market or Mopar tube rail.

I sold my Moab rock rails to a Rubi owner for that exact reason. They are great rock rails, better and wider than the Rubies. But not much to step on. My wife is vertically challenged as well. We bought N-fab aluminum step rails. Nice and never rust. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah, got a feeling some of the tender, more sensitive guys on this forum would not like me very much in person. I am not a member of the Cult of Political Correctness. I call it like it is.
Britain is even worse. You blokes are the most sensitive.
