I did Dishpan in my all stock 15 JKUR. I did not need any tugs or winch but my factory gas tank skid got a good workout at the top of the Waterfall. If I would have slowed down and stacked a couple of rocks it would have been fine.
I saw a guy with 2.5 lift and 35's need a tug so it's all about the correct line and spotter.
I've also done Gold Mountain all stock. When you come up to the first big step up go all the way to the left side it's easier. The rest of the trail was no problem.
I might be up there this Saturday. If I go I will be doing White Mountain for the first time after taking Big Pine Flat all the way from Green Valley. This will be my last trip before installing my 2.5 Trraflex Coil Lift w/ Fox Shocks, Track Bar and Lower Front Arms and 295/75/16's
You could run Gold Mountain.. A bit rougher than White Mountain.. I did it in my bone-stock JKU on 33's when I first got it..But, don't go alone in case you end up needing a tug.
I think you would do fine on Dishpan.. I just did it a few weeks ago on 2" lift and 35's, no skidplates.. and I watched a bone-stock Rubicon go up the hardest spot, although I think they had to tug him up..
You could do them out and back, but otherwise they drop you out on the road and you have to go back to the highway (sorry, dont remember the road/street names).. If I had the time I would run either one, turn around, then do it backward coming back.. I would go up there and run one with you but I'm already committed to a run closer to home in the Cajon Pass..
Depending on the rig, and skill level, many people would disagree. Gold Mountain is rated as "most difficult". Although i may not agree with that, it's certainly not "very easy" by most accounts.
