My family and I went over this last July 14'
Bypass was closed off with cable. We made it over the wall in our stock (at the time) JKUR with lockers on front and rear and sway bar disconnected.
I think he said he will have his wife and kids with him and not wanting anything too radical, don't know if this obstacle counts as that is a matter of opinion, but my wife and kids wouldn't go over it with me and all the FJ's before us were winching over it, FJ summit/rally was all over up there at the time.
My favorite trail too in the area as far as difficulty goes, nearly the whole thing was kind of sketchy for a stock vehicle. As for scenery we liked Imogene and Bolam passes the most.
If you can't make it over the obstacle on Poughkeepsie it is a long haul back down to Engineer Pass with pissed off kids and wife...
That lake is sweet though (Como Lake?), you can get to it from Corkscrew and Hurricane too (easy, scenic trails).
I was there in middle of August 14. They didn't have a cable up on the bypass. Maybe it was up to force those FJ up a trail to try and make them feel like a Jeeps. But MOST still had to winch. Haha! Did you just climb up it and wave on your way by them?
I have friend that has a FJ that was at the summit last year and he said he had to winch up it. I laughed! I like to give crap for having an FJ even though I have seen many that are very trail capable rigs.
So what line did you take to make it up in the stock JKUR?
