Gladiators in the Wild / AKA the Rubicon Trail

[Mojave40]

5 Jeeps (3 Gladiators and 2 JK's) took on the Rubicon Trail this last week (July 26-29th). We drove up on a Sunday from Southern California, stayed in Georgetown and hit the trail Monday morning at the Loon Lake entrance. We spent 3 days / 2 nights on trail. All 5 Jeeps made in through with minamal damage (some bent rear swaybars and some tail light kisses. No winching us needed. 2 Gladiators also took on the Soup Bowl and were victorious. On the second day a group of 3 Jeeps (1 Gladiator) did the optional "Old Sluice" which is the toughest section of the Rubicon and all 3 completed it without damage or assistance. The entire trip was a blast.....enjoy the pictures.

so 40's are the answer for the Rubicon?

The Sting Gray JTR is on 37's with a 3.5" lift and had no problems going through the trail. He did opt not to try the Soup Bowl or Old Sluice.

The other Jeeps in the group were on 40's. My Blue Gladiator was the only jeep without a front locker but it didn't stop me from doing anything.

Thanks for sharing. These made my weekend. Can’t wait to join the club in a couple of months.
