Since we've not done the Rubicon before and really want to go, we were thinking it might be a better idea to catch a ride with one of you guys that have done it before to get a feel of what its like. Any thoughts?

35's and 1 locker. Please confirm everyone meets these requirements.

With a larger group like this we will be testing our pace from loon to the granite bowl.

Be confident, be prepared!

Now that we've completed our back country exploration 2.0 effort we are moving on to this run!

I see a group of about 7-9 rigs going. Be sure you're ready for this run!

Good pace, 1 locker, 35" tires!

Please remember that 1 locker and 35s are required for this trip!

It looks like we will have 6-8 rigs in total coming. It should be fun!

Jason and I would like to go, but we've never done the Rubicon and we all know what a wuss I am. I think maybe we should go on the beginner's loop first so we have a feel for it and so I don't need a lifetime of therapy. - Tanya

It's entirely up to you. On this run, you'd be following the rig in front of you, and managing self spotting. While the trail is fairly challenging, your jeep is more than built to manage it. Just be sure to shorten your rear swaybar links ahead of time!

We're ready to go and so is the Cherokee. I replaced the ps pump and serpentine belt. I went ahead and bought a new pulley also. Super PITA to press it on! No leaks, turns fine. Bring on the 'Con!

Greg, get to my house at 7 am. We will leave at 715 getting us to Georgetown around 8.
