Rubicon 2012. Feeler of course.

who will the only person in tw group be with a 223:1 crawl ratio?
ME

 

sub'd

 

My truck should be outfitted by January, so, if I'm around, then HELL YES.

 

Sub'd... If I can get out of work for it then I'm down!

 

damn it i want to go now but i aint got no skids.

 

I would seriously consider it......


I'll bring a cardboard cutout of my truck, wear it, and go "vroom froooooom" while walking over stuff

 

Well you have like 7 months to get some

 

i got skids sitting in my storage i just gotta put them on lol too lazy to put them on

 

Hey Kilted, have you ever been to the Rubicon? You need armor covering everything underneath your truck, including your differential. You have a truck, so slider's are a must. You're going to absolutely murder your truck. The Rubicon is no joke, I used to live up in Georgetown... used to go every other weekend.

 

Seriously, I wanna go to a damn meet.

you laff, but i'd do it.

 

Lol on the Tahoe side Eric. You can come into the trail from that way, but most of the traffic comes from Georgetown to South Lake. Ya might wanna consider driving down here to Auburn and then cutting across.

And you MIGHT wanna consider a reinforced drive shaft, unless you already have one. I bet one in half on my old Jeep a couple years back.

 

Its not that bad... Toyota took stock 2010 4runners through it with only a little door damage and a busted muffler. 3 inches of lift, sliders and skids should get you there.

 

Dean, do you work for TG? Did you invent Dirty 30's

Or do you just love the 530 hahaha

This is how bored I'm with my life tonight, asking dumb pointless useless dumb shit.

"the stock 4Runners emerged from the Rubicon with only nicks and scrapes and no driveline damage whatsoever"

 

There are bypasses on alot of sections that get nasty..except for 1 or 2 sections..it's one way or no way.

 

Experience does help. And good spotters. I've seen some capable, nice rigs break up there because the driver had no idea WTF he was doing. And I'm not taking shots at anyone up here. But someone from my group has always broken on the trail for one reason or another.

And if you guys are planning on getting lockers, and getting serious about crawling, you might want to consider re-gearing. I rolled through my first time with 3.07 ratio in my Wrangler, and it absolutely kicked my ass haha.

BUT, Rubicon is an insane amount of fun, and I promise that it is a trip you will not forget.

 

Not saying it can't be done. Just saying, how many peole are willing to sacrifice the passenger door on their trucks? Things do happen, and yes there are bypasses. But it is not a trail that I think anyone should take lightly. Hell, if there's an open seat, I'd love to go with you guys. I've got plenty of experience on the trail, and am a pretty good spotter. And for any obstaclers that might be too much, I'm a pretty good rock stacker too

Lol I've lived in the 530 for almost 8 years now. Kinda a nickname that we have for it up on the hill. I'd love to work for TG though. haha
