    I’d be up for a quick trip through. Maybe the start to lions back and then duck out the back entrance. Could maybe meet up at the first bridge (Niagara creek) at like 11:30-noonish to air down.

    I could probably swing it next week too if tomorrow doesn’t work.

    Let's do next weekend. Give us more time to plan. Maybe get some more people to join. I'm looking to do the whole thing starting at the Eagle Meadow side, back toward Niagara campground.

    Sounds like a plan.

    I should probably check out all my nuts and bolts. Things tend to come loose when you wheel for 10 or so hours on the Rubicon...

    We had a guy in our group with a factory 2.5” lift on a jk rubicon and 35” tires make the trip with no more than a scratched up fender (although I bet his factory skids are messed up). He had to wench a couple of bigger obstacles but it was impressive.

    I’m really excited about wheeling this year! Hopefully I can make a few trips.

    Right on! Makes me think maybe my rig can make it through Rubi. Although I'm IFS and 32.5s lol.

    I'm pretty stoked about wheeling this year too. I'm hoping to make it out a lot. Hopefully the big upcoming project doesn't have my truck out of commision too long. I intended to do this over the winter but finances had other plans.

    You’ll make it With a good spotter, a winch / tow strap, and some good armor assuming it’s not much worse than late last year.
    Having spares (like a driveshaft) isn’t a bad idea.

    Oh that’s right.

    I will need to double check with the calendar keeper. Although I’m sure if I brought my three boys with me it’d be a good day for both of us. I know it’s what I want to do for Father’s Day :bananadance:

    Might be able to talk my dad into it if he isn’t too sore from the wheeling this week.

    Check with the boss... If you're down, we can make a Father's Day run out of it. I think that would be cool beans.
