Three Jeep Gladiators. One mission—cross the country and conquer the Rubicon Trail.

We rolled out of South Carolina early, cruised through NC (where we passed hurricane damage on I-40), and hit fuel stops across Tennessee before crashing for the night in Paducah, KY.

The journey’s just beginning. Follow along for behind-the-scenes, drone shots, and trail action as we go from coast to crawl.

Good luck and have fun! Looking forward to updates. Would be interesting to get your average daily mpg and gas prices at each stop. Be prepared once you get to CA!

More cross country driving and fuel stops, up to 14.6 mpg in the flatter terrain. Some pretty farm land between Kentucky and Kansas. Got to pass the Famous Clydesdales being transported and travel in rain showers.

How did you work that out? SC to the Rubicon with three Jeeps. Might as well hit MOAB and the mild Hammers while you are at it.

Nice trip! Please keep the posts coming!
