dude....I'm trying to justify 37s....
Your Jeep is one of the best build rigs—everything: tip to tail, all of it—on this forum….I wouldn’t change a thing on it.

But if you gotta, then you gotta.

I appreciate it. few things left to do...ARB lockers....trusses etc. Subtle improvements.

Finally found it! Enjoy:
That was rad! didn't look like he came out much worse for wear either. I think I remember seeing some photos of the test trucks doing the Rubicon on 31" and 33" tires. Gives me hope!

Yeah depends on who you go with and how much experience you have. Plus don't be afraid to stack rocks!

Hey I am in Santa Rosa too! You should come up with our crew to Cow or Mendo NF.

Let me know next time you go. I've been doing some exploring up in Mendo and Snow Mountain, but it's been such a long time since I've been to Cow, I wouldn't even know where to go.

Just finished the 2nd video in the series! The soup bowl is something else. The buggies/crawlers get after the obstacle and even my Gladiator gets in on the fun. Here's the vid:

Crap forgot to post Vid #3 on here! This video of the series has us moving on from Soup Bowl and making our way through a number of water crossings and the V-notch aka the Squeeze. The Rubicon Trail's natural beauty rivals any trail out there.

Part 4 of the series has us moving on from the water after the early rain/snow through many obstacles, Indian Trail, and more water crossing on our way Buck Island. The Rubicon Trail's natural beauty rivals any trail out there and catching the sunset was a sight to see. That being said we get ourselves in trouble at Buck Island and you'll have to see how we make it out of the predicament.

The 5th video of the series is us night wheeling from Buck Island to the Springs. It's a fun one even though a wrong turn gets some of us wet... really wet. Makes for good entertainment and adventure at the least. Enjoy!

Final recap of our trip to the Rubicon Trail and damage assessment of my Jeep. A surprising look underneath the Jeep. The results definitely would've been different if it wasnt for my spotters. Jeeps are just so capable its ridiculous. Even longer wheelbase ones
