I see there is a lot of interest in JV. I've been out to Johnson Valley a few times myself in my previous Jeep that was on 35s. Its a blast. There are a TON of fun desert trails and several dry lake beds that make for a fun place to race. But, yes, JV is known for its seriously difficult rocky trails. Jeeps generally need to be on at least 35s and should at least have a rear locker, but I'd recommend front and rear lockers. You will have to be prepared for body damage on anything less. In a longer rig, you'd need at least 37s for sledgehammer, which is one of the easier trails there. I'm sure an H1 or H2 would make it, but yea as someone else mentioned here, those being big trucks, you'd get bit by a few rocks along the way. Some of the trails out there, you'd need 40" MT/R goodyears or better, and even then you'll have a hard time.
I think an H3 with a Rough Country lift and 37s would breaze through sledge actually, no body hits I'd bet. You won't see me doing it though.
