I'd still be up there, stuck in the snow 👿

I used to wheel a lot. . .

You'd just get on the CB and ask me to toss you a strap.

6 rigs headed in to the Rubicon Friday night. Still a lot of snow, but there was a good mixture of rocks too. Half crawling and half snow run. We were there more for the camping, so we only went to Spyder lake on a day run Sat. It was about 80 degrees during the day and around 45 at night. Perfect weather!!!

Little Sluice and the fallen tree. Much bigger tree on the ground than it looked when it was standing

Our fire that started on top of the snow. That pit is about 9 feet across.

This is what happens when your lug nuts come loose. Your wheel falls of at about 30mph 😯 Not a good feeling at all!!!

Great pics Rob. I had no idea that tree was that big. Runs like that make me miss the 4Runner. 🙁

That had to be scary as hell!!! Glad you weren't on the freeway when that happened.

Nice pics and it sounds like the trip was a blast. Still looks too cold for me mr-green

Only damage from the wheel is 5 new wheel studs and lug nuts.

Yes indeed. Brad earned the title of Tow Master on this run. He yanked the stock JK and JKU free on several occasions. On one part he towed the stock JK a quarter mile up hill in deep snow. Pretty cool to see what a well built rig can do.
