I'm going to be driving cross country in my xj to wheel The Rubicon with a group of friends. If anyone see's this xj sitting along the interstate somewhere, stop and give a guy a hand....

Good luck, have fun and most important be safe!

Guywitha92

Be safe. I can say I am truly jealous. If I see a jeep broke down, I always stop to lend a hand. Which way are you taking to get there?

I70 and I80 is my route out, might run I44 back up out of Texas on my way back so I can run parts of RT66

Out of curiosity, I checked google maps. It's about 2,700 miles for me to get there if I wanted to drive there.

Guywitha92

Well join him on the run. Put about 6k miles there and back just to wheel one of the best trails in the united states....

Guywitha92

Not too far from me

It's a long ride for sure, I was going to fly and ride on this one but lost my seat when a guy had to cancel. I moped around awhile then decided to just drive the xj out, I might leave the xj out there and fly back. It's only a 5hr flight so I'd like to fly back out next summer and spend 2 weeks just wheeling/sight seeing on the west coast...

You will pass very near me if you take 70 thru KS.

CurrySoSpicy

OP hits the KS leg of the route.

5100 miles and the Rubicon Trail, the little xj did everything I ask of it. I was invited out to run the Crawl Magazine "Crawl the Con" ride and it was a bucket list trip for sure.....Nothing broke but I did have to change out a wheelbearing and trackbar before I headed back..

Good stuff, trip of a lifetime I bet. The wife and I were talking about renting an RV and heading out west with a kid(s). Would love to tow the Jeep out with me. That's many years off though. Have to save up some dough.

Looks awesome. Glad you had a safe trip
