I have a 2010 stock wrangler unlimited sport. I was thinking about doing the drummond island adventure but did not know if my stock jeep would do alright? Any thoughts or feedback would be awesome.. Thanks..

You'll LOVE it.
Your vehicle is totally capable of 97% of the Island.
The other 3% are deep water holes.
Avoid them and you'll be fine.

You'll be fine for D.O.A.

There are legal bypasses for most anything you wouldn't want to drive through.

Your stock Wrangler will have a wonderful time on Drummond Island. By joining up with DOA you will ensure you will be led by some very competent people who take care to ensure you have a great time and are able to drive to and from the event without incident while on the trails.

Thanks everybody for the feedback.. I just signed up for Drummond Island. I am going to try it out at the Mounds on June 12th and see how the new jeep does. Look forward to meeting you guys on the trail...

WARNING .. WARNING .. WARNING

If going to the Mounds for your first time, make sure you are with someone who knows the area and that you TRUST.

The MUD HOLES can be DEEPER than they appear!

For Drummond Island, It's best to relocate or skid your Evaporative Control Cannister. An Engine/Tranny skid will save damage to your oil pan from Drummond Rocks. Differential armor is useful here too.

For The Mounds, NEVER go through a mud hole unless you see someone else do it first. You WILL get stuck sometime during the day. You will probably get good at taking your radiator loose to wash the mud out.

For both places, you should consider extending your axle, transmission, and transfer case vents to keep water out of there.

That said, I have successfully taken my Jeep both places when it was stock. How do you think I developed the opinions above?

Stay away from Turtle Ridge until you get some armor.
