I've been looking at newer Wranglers and wonder if the JK would be too wide for the tight paths at the Cliffs. They are 74 inches wide while a TJ is 67 and a Cherokee is 70. On the other hand a Toyota FJ is 75 inches. My Tracker is only 64 inches and was very easy to get through the trees.

You'll fit, but know you will be more prone to trail rash than a TJ. At least that is what JK owners I've some across (in person and online) have said.

if you r worried, just do the wide sliders, that way you will hit those before the trees, most of the rash was low at the cliffs from what we saw. so you should be good

its not only about width also consider the length and wheel base
idk how wide my truck is but i have a longer length and wheelbase than a zj andxj they got around obsticles easier than me at the cliff due to i would have to make way wider turns in order to get my booty around a tree

You'll be fine, Keithert. Always expect to bend, scratch and break stuff when you're on the trail.
