Hoooper, I am way up north in Washington but since you are planning this so far ahead of time, I would be glad to join you on a Rubicon Trail Run. I was just at the Lake Tahoe end, trail head last week. I was there but my Jeep was not. I was in an 11' Chevy Impala rental car so I had to settle for snapping a few pics of the staging area.

Awesome sounds like a plan. I guess as things start to get closer and I have a better idea what's going on I'll post up again. I may just end up going on the annual NAXJA Rubicon run which seems to usually be in August.

Hooper, Keeps us informed as the date gets closer. I might be in but by then I will be on 32's and regeared and locked all around.
Is that enough to run the Rubicon?

Man way its going I'm gonna have the biggest tires... probably the one needing the winch too haha... anyhow everyone try to get armored up before we go. Sliders and skid are a must. I have lots of friends that have gone

yeah, im not too worried about it. Locked F/R on 33x12.5 MT/Rs, built in sliders, mini skids, Claytons, etc. should do just fine. 33s and at least one locker are recommended for the rubicon, but to be honest you could take a stock cherokee through if you just take all the bypasses
