Let’s go hit the Rubicon!!!! Well in a year or 2 once I’ve got my Jeep built. Pretty sure that trail would eat me up at the moment. :LOL:
I don't know what your build is at the moment but I used my Artec engine skid, both RockHard rock rails to the point of bending the left one, bashed the Artec comp cut high rear bumper multiple times, drug down the extent of both sides of the frame, both diff covers, smacked the tie rod, sheered a valve stem.

It's a gnarly trail. I'm about 4" of lift with 40s. Never had to pull a winch line but did shove some rocks under the tires once when I turtled.

All in all I only really reversed to reposition myself and take another shot at an obstacle less than 10 times. But there was a lot of rubbing and barely scrambling through.

37s on a JL, fine. The JT is just a schoolbus. I think my TJ on 35s would walk the trail in comparison.
