Is there interest in a day run across the rubicon before it snows?

Please post up with ideas/dates/suggestions! Lets get something going!

Any other run ideas outside this one suggested are fine as well!

Lets go somewhere!

I might be up for another run, if the time is right. Shotgun on a Fordyce run would be great as I have not seen the whole trail.

I'm always solo for day runs so I should have space.

I vote Fordyce but any run would be fun. Its been too long.

I can only run on Sat or Sun at the moment.

There was discussion about a run supporting trailered rigs on a weekend. Maybe we could combine for a run?

How does Fordyce compare to the 5 dollar trail? I kind of know now my Suzuki's tip over points, and that one spot 😯 .

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

Is it over the suggested safety factor to run my Suzuki on it ? Seriously…

Fordyce is a tough trail, tougher than the Rubicon by a margin.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

In all seriousness your suzuki would have challenges with the winch hills. They are steep, rocky, and require greater ground clearance and large tires.

I would agree with the posts above. I would recommend riding with someone first to see the trail.

That's what I needed to know. Thanks. Knowing ones rigs's limitations and not going past them is good "wheeling sence"
So I'll pass driving it but my friend Tommy that has the built jeep might want to go. Get a date set and I'll ask him.
