Way to go josh. Josh made his first day trip across the Rubicon. It was a great day. The only traffic we hit was on our way up Cadillac. The only carnage was a blown bead. Josh did really great for never having been past Ellis creek before.

Pictures are in my head. Had to focus on the trail since I was a newbee. Awesome trail! Thanks for leading the way Brad and explaining the different parts of the trail.

Well done boss! So what rock sniped your bead?

The new long arms do what you wanted?

I popped the bead on my right rear tire. I was backing up to get a better approach angle going through one of the pinch points on big sluice on our way to cadallic hill. I was able to change it out real quick.

The long arm performed great. No comparison to a regular lift. I was able to keep more rubber in contact with the trail. Very fun to drive. More traction and less grinding and dragging on obstacles. Worth every penny for this upgrade.

Josh popped the bead about 3/4 of the a way down big sluice.

The best part was the burger lounge! Hangover burger - yum!
