I'm in! And I plan on camping Friday and Saturday night.

I will update and post pictures of Rubithon later today for those wondering about my broken birf

Also if your on the fence about taking your rig because of its build status, talk to me. We just took a 2015 4Runner through the Rubicon and it was on 32s.

I hope we get a good turnout!

 

[Krusty Krab]

Great! This should be a great run. Been almost 2 years since I ran it!

I'm out for this run. My rig is down with a busted t-case. Hopefully someone will step up and get you guys thru this trail. It is a must do.

Just noticed where the Tahoe Hi-Los went thru and opened the trail. One great thing was they cut out a BA tree that was across the trail.

 

[justintpryor]

So is anyone else going?

 

[CV Kurt]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it...

 

[MagmaFJ]

Ok, we have two camping on Friday night at Hermit Valley. I should be there around 7 or 7:30pm. Strict leave time at 8:30am on Saturday Morning. Hope others can join. I have a fire permit but fires allowed only in designated campgrounds in fire ring. Sooo maybe.

Well another BBCNN run that went of without a hitch. Well just a slight overheating problem that was fixed with a few water bottles and a turn of the hose clamp screw. Camping was awesome as usual with the stars in full glory with no moon out. At 3:30 I heard a bang that woke me up. Thinking bear I retrieved my knife from the car and hunted with my free harbor fright flashlight. Didn't see a thing and fell asleep cradling my knife. Trail was in amazing condition with most of the same obstacles and some new ones in between to keep you on your toes. The weather was great and the trail was done by 11:20.
Steve and his son Clayton were able to run it in his new to him mini flat bed on 35s. Paul in his fj40. Both made good work of the trail. Didn't get any pics. Maybe the others did?

 

[Coolcrusher]

Clayton and I had a great time! Hope to go out with you again.
