I have front bar disconnect but still have the OEM rear bar with 2" drop on 3" lift with L shocks. This setup held up on local short rock trails (John Bull, Dishpan Springs, ...). I understand Rubicon is like 10 times longer. Do you recommend I remove my rear bar at Loon Lake?

Your call. We don’t run the trail with the rear sway bars on our 80’s (anymore). It can definitely tweak things as we’ve found out.
Thanks for your reply. I will remove my rear sway bar if I arrive at my Loon Lake campsite on Tuesday with enough daylight left. Thanks again.
Is it still on ? I saw a post on fb , that all the forests and land around Tahoe, etc is closed June 21, 2021 !!! Cause of fire hazard and severe drought ...
Will the first thing is to not believe anything you see on face book. Then do a fact check before posting on mud !!!
The Tahoma staging area is closed for a few days during Rubithon to be repaved, use Barker Pass/Blackwood Canyon for Tahoe side entry to Rubicon. I believe the post you saw was refering to the recently announced fire restrictions in the Tahoe Basin which state ZERO burning of wood, even residences must meet certain conditions to burn, I.E.- only source of heat and/or cooking. I have been looking at EDNF and as far as I can tell their restrictions have not been issued yet.

SPI Sierra Pacific industries land is not the National forest.
Thank you for trying to help, I just don't care for Facebook info. IMHO it's not fact and why I don't have a FB account.
If you don't want crap don't use FB as a Information reference. Post Crap you get crap
This asshat only posts Verifiable Information
From what I can tell there no closure, but a high fire watch

I saw on their map it included all around Tahoe ... I hope it is open I really do , I just saw that the forest was closing June 21st for anything and thought Id save people the trip up there if it's truly closed.SPI Sierra Pacific industries land is not the National forest.

Shenanigans Seems to be a trend. Had these installed and tuned by Phil @ Liberty Mountain Fab on Monday. Yesterday @razzoo and I visited @orangefj45 at Valley Hybrids for new tie rod ends and Marlin HD tie rod along with steering arm. Not to mention some excellent advise in prep for the weekend. Have some 4" springs arriving on Monday but i think Ill wait for the black hills for those... Just cutting all of this too close.... not to mention trying to dio installs at the RV park... 
I know this is widley known, but George is awesome. After speaking with him and getting his feedback about Rubicon it really helped ease our minds about the adventure. Not to mention the solid advise and parts we were able to upgrade while at the shop.... He dropped everything... I just cant be more greatful and look forward to seeing him and everyone else next week..... Several more items on the list but we are close!! Headed over to placerville to get my air tank topped off...

Phil at LMF knows his sh&t and he's a super funny dude. We've known each other for many years, back when he we both rode street bikes. And then we grew up ....... kinda.
Looking forward to seeing you guys in a few days, you'll have a fantastic time!
So, it seems more Shenanigans are in need. I got the replacement starter and my break booster s*** the bed on my way back from Placerville. If you know of anyone that has a spare break booster please send help. Will supply cash money, cold beer and damn good bourbon. I have one on order from Orylies and its due for delivery Monday. We are staying at the 49er RV park in Plymouth. Very happy thins did not happen on June 24th.. Its not a ton of fun stopping that fat bastard with no boost.

Just got your text. We have a reman booster otherwise Alex up in North Highlands should have a good used unit.
Put a new OEM 2.4KW starter in there and never worry about it again.
