[wheelnzj]

Hi,

I am looking at holding GSR on Sept. 5, 6, & 7, 2008.

Friday morning- Meet and enter the trail at Loon Lake, Try to drive to the Springs (Depends on breakage & people getting stuck) and stay.

Saturday- Rubicon Springs, Swim, Tan, Relax (Maybe a drink or two).

Sunday- Drive up and out during the afternoon.

Hope to see everyone on the trail,

Ron

[CrawlerReady]

September....I may have to make it out that way, I've always wanted to hit the Rubicon.

[AgitatedPancake]

[wheelnzj]

Ron,

I might be able to make it, my shit should be done by then for sure.

I am also planning to ride out with AW for GSW, but would be great to take my own heep to the Con this time.

Of course time will tell.

[MBATF]

I am in for sure. Last year when I was trying to play catch up with 6 Wranglers wasn't fun.

hey many buddy wants to come up with his YJ. any issues with that?

[wheelnzj]

Hi Andy,

Yes, Grand Slams are for "Grands" only. Sorry.

[Cody]

I'll put it on the schedule but my 1st priority this fall is the baja 1000.

[5.9 ANDY]

im not shure i am gona make it. as of now, i think the engine will be in the jeep at about mid april. then i have a 3K mile break in period of not being heavy on the gas, so no off-roading for me for that time.

[AgitatedPancake]

4 months, 3k miles aint no thang.

[Cue-Ball]

Exactly what I was thinking you can make 3k in a few month no problem.

are their any intermediate trials on the rubicon? I dont want to bust up my daily driver yet.

What side of the lake does it enter and/or exit?

The Rubicon isnt trailS. The rubicon is ONE trail. There arent different trails to go on. There are a couple bypasses, but some of those are pretty difficult as well. It all happens on the west side of the lake

[wonder371]

cool, i learn something new everyday.

So taking the easiest route possible what are the chances of coming out of the rubicon realtively untouched with a WJ like mine. I dont care much about the front & rear bumbers. But I'm not ready for a boulder to the quater panel or a flop.

[AgitatedPancake]

It's all based on driver skill. I would recommend ATLEAST 33"s and being locked up on atleast one axle. Even then, no guarantees.

Your bumpers will catch hell, so will you gas tank skid. Locker a must... better upgrade the front shafts if you have the funds !

Bring lots of water !

[AgitatedPancake]

I would recommend a spare set of front shafts ($100-150), but alloys are $$$$ for WJ's, like 800 for a pair IIRC.

Like Jerod said, my rear bumper got THRASHED and my gas tank skid isnt too happy, but I have the flimsy 1/16" one, not the 3/16" they put on the overlands.

[wonder371]

very good info. dont think i will be able to GSR this year because of the dates overlapping school, maybe next year.

Any predictions on when they will close the rubicon for good?

[rtingdds]

Try 4XD tank skid, pure USDA beef! Anyone know any motel info over Rubicon?

[AprilzWarrior]

Casa De Tent !

[rtingdds]

What is the city I should search under?

[AgitatedPancake]

the closest actual place I can think of that may have somewhere to stay would be Georgetown, but I have no idea what you're gunna find there.
