Events/Trails 200s in Ouray Summer 2016

[ntsaint]

You could also be going South and (by car, not as crow flies) be closer to MS.

I seem to remember you saying this was a not a destination for you...

I am exploring the area next summer. Parts of it can be done. Need lockers and a winch to complete this. It's a multi day trail run with tent camping along the way. I am researching about the possibility. Let's see what it actually entails. It could be same thing that @Canyonero said about the difficulty level for Hells Revenge night before we were planning to drive that trail.

In my defense about Hells Revenge - I was mostly concerned for OTHER drivers and rigs, not me! And also, a couple of trucks did almost flip over on their sides.

I'm interested in checking out the Rubicon Trail this coming summer as well. No reason to let all this armor and winch collect dust.

Cody, when are you going to let the cat out of the bag?

 

[Markuson]

We're going EAST?!

I sense a very long road trip from San Diego coming on...

Do I sense a 200 Convoy is needed?

Almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and marriage. My rig was just "tilted". However I do appreciate you hoping up very quickly on my front bumper to redistribute some weight.
Lol

Did part of the Rubicon last summer on my way home from Ouray, def harder then Hells Revenge I didn't have a spotter so it made it more difficult, with a good spotter a lot of it would be doable like @Atwalz mentioned.

Don't get too hung up on location logistics.....

Since my girls have to wait till Xmas for their presents, I think a Xmas announcement is appropriate.

 

[SchobTime]

this better be off the wall if we need to wait until Xmas

Starting at about 7 minutes it gets interesting. Seems this would be a huge challenge for the size of the 200.

I can't find any videos of 200 series Land Cruisers actually running the Rubicon, can anyone else find any?

All the LC Rubicon videos are brutal! I can't find any with 200s.

We did a bit of it solo last summer prior to getting sliders and skids... definitely not enough of it to be proud. The very small part we did was a pretty uncomfortable drive, but not as difficult as parts of the short Buck Lake trail that we did just prior to this one. I recall wondering if we'd actually gotten to the start of the trail or if we were on another trail to get to the Rubicon.

 

[Atwalz]

Here is another good one.

 

[Markuson]

Here is another good one.

Those have got to be at least 37" tires on that green truck...with standard front axle. It looks like he needed every bit of them too...

 

[Atwalz]

After around 5:00, " you really close to your door. You didn't even f....n touch it." This gives you idea.

Yes. He is running 37". He is a member here. @jcardona1

I've breezed through his build...that's a purpose built rig...it's cool

 

[MScruiser]

Well, some of us have 37" tires, so we're good on that front.

 

[Canyonero]

Those videos are hard-core. Who here has the cojones to take their 200 through there?

I would. I'd pull my winch cable before I even start my truck. Flip on the locker, turn on crawl control, front camera and go for it!

If the internet is right (it's never wrong), no one has done the full rubicon in a 200 and filmed it. Which, let's be honest, means it hasn't been done.
