Clint~ I don't plan on tipping over this trip. No, I haven't got a new mirror. But I did just get hit by a snowbird in that door, so all the damage I caused will be repaired on her ticket!
Steve~ Kids and dogs are welcome. You shouldn't have any troubles, I've made this run with stock Jeeps (both Wranglers and Grand Cherokes). With some spotting, the Grand Cherokes didn't drag that bad due to the longer wheelbase. However, Wranglers tend to drag gastank.
