Rubicon pics

Very nice truck. I hope you can keep the stock look and not hack it up. I think Keane has a similar body style. Maybe he has some suggestons.



The shooting is dangerous. Hopefully the were cited.

yeah, where were the sheriffs that were supposed to be there?

I think his rig would look good with an exo cage and and a little body trimming!!!!!!!

What part of the fender is rubbing and where? How much lift do you have? I get a little rub when I'm flexed all the way out, but it's never really done much to my tires.

Shooting in the National Forest is perfectly legal if the rules are followed. From the ENF website:



Firearms

You may NOT discharge a firearm or any other implement capable of taking human life, causing injury, or damaging property:



* In or within 150 yards of a residence, building, campsite, developed recreation site, or occupied area,

* Across or on a Forest Development road or a body of water adjacent thereto,

* In any manner or place whereby any person or property is exposed to injury or damage as a result of such discharge. (36CFR 261.10d*).

Seems like the bathroom area would count as a developed recreation site to me.



What is the definition of an occupied area?

Shooting at the staging area is just stupid. Even if they were not breaking any laws, they should have been arrested for being stupid. Is that a crime? It should be.

Agreed.



I wasn't there so I can't say if the shooters were far enough away from the developed area or not. My point in posting the rules is that Rubicon is in the National Forest, it's legal to shoot guns in the National Forest, therefore if the rules are followed it's legal to shoot guns near the Rubicon Trail.



I will admit with the number of people up there, and with so much granite around, it's probably not the best place to be shooting.

Our prision system is already full. Can you imagine what would happen if we started arresting stupid people. 😲

I'd pay another $1000 a year in taxes to make my cummute better.



Is anyone counting the number people breaking the cell phone law? I see about 20% of drivers still have the the phone-to-face problem.

I noticed that this weekend. How much is the fine? Maybe we can balance the budget! 😀

So, what I've noticed is that the noise level while driving the Jeep is so loud with the top off that I end up holding my fingers to my bluetooth in order to press it into my ear, thus defeating the purpose of "hands-free".



I've decided to just let the caller go into voicemail until I get off the road.

It rubs on the side twords the middle of the truck. Like where the pedals are. Not sure how much lift it has because i didnt do it.

You have an 85 right? Are you running any wheel spacers? I run a front wheel spacer because I have the wider rear end. If you have an 85 I think you still have the narrow rear end. You could throw on a small spacer which should help with the rub (depending on where everything fits on the outside) and gain some width at the same time.

I've got a cheap bluetooth headset and have the same problem. I pretty much do the same thing with voicemail.

Have you considered the anycom Solar handsfree set up? It mounts to the windshield (no wires) and works very well for me.

Here is a key feature:

By using a 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP), the Anycom Solar Bluetooth Car Kit filters the surrounding noise and reduces the echo of your own voice. Natural conversation is enhanced with the full duplex mode. A powerful speaker with 95 decibels output delivers a clear and loud audio signal.

That looks pretty cool!



Oh, you said it mounts to the windshield? That's not legal in CA is it?

Just ignore the phone...works for me 😉

It is perfectly legal so long as you don't obstruct your view. Mine is in the upper left corner of the glass.

X2. If it's important they'll leave a message.
