Events/Trails 200's, 100's and 80's through the Rubicon!

Nice work guys! I recall several squeeze points (especially some off camber ones) on the trail that I can't image getting a full size cruiser through with out some carnage- especially the squeeze between two humongous rocks after big sluice before entering rubicon springs.

What was the final verdict on the 200 rear end? Thinking some rear diff protection would be in order for any of those rigs.

There is no verdict yet (still waiting to get into the shop). The rear drive line was spinning in Drive, in theory it shouldn’t be the t-case or trans. I am betting it’s something in the rear diff/third member/possibly axle. We will see

I was very impressed with the Treps and your skinny pedal action. Creeping thru the Con in a IFS rig with no winch or without a single tug is no easy feat bro. Can’t wait to do it all over again next year!

Ken, I can take this down if you want as I don't mean to detract from your trip or your photos. Thought a longer view of the trail might give folks some perspective. Its a fun trail, just 3 days of constant obstacles

In 2008 my club took 10 trucks and 20 people, I had my then 20 year old daughter as a co driver

There are 3 parts here
1st is an aussie Toyota commercial I thought was funny
2nd is a photo spread of the trip
3rd is the video. It was cool that we had 5 video cameras and I spliced it together so in some cases you see 3 angles from the same time. It is also a long video, just a warning



Again, I don't mean to detract from your trip, just offer perspective of the trail. Happy to take it down if it detracts from the great trip and photos you have

Those choper pilots are cowboys- really impressive flying. The Jeep factory event flys in a frigging grand piano ..... and spend a full week 8-10 hrs a day flying in food and drink for a 2 night gig for 100 trucks ; crazy
