FJ Cruisers on the Rubicon – 2014 Rubithon!
June 19th - 22nd
Its on again! 2014 Rubithon is coming this June. Metal-tech 4x4 guided a special group of FJ Cruisers for the 25th anniversary of the TLCA Rubithon event last year. We have been ask to do it again and are honored to do so. The FJC’s will be going in early at 8AM from Loon Lake. We will be in two groups of 5, plus a lead truck. This year we will be doing a Thursday in to Sunday out. This will put us on the trail Thursday AM, overnight at Buck Island then onto the Springs on Friday.
Metal-tech 4x4 will be camping Wednesday June 18th night at Loon Lake near the trailhead if anyone wanted to join us up there. Makes for an easier 8 AM departure the next day!
In order to keep things moving and that all the trucks are running the same lines we are requiring all the trucks have 34” or 35” tires. This is the one and only main requirement.
Strongly Suggested:
Skid plates, Sliders
Suggested:
Front bumper, rear bumper
The Rubicon trail is a 100% pack it out trail, this includes human waste. There are pit toilets in the springs but the rest of the time on the trail it’s a bag. This is why when you see photos of trucks on the Rubicon, they usually have a trash bag OUTSIDE of their truck.

We will also use this thread as a discussion leading up to the run as well.
