Does anyone know what the event dates were for the last few years, and also the likelihood that it gets changed after the initial announcement?
I know it was pushed back last year due to snowpack, but am curious how often / likely that is to happen.

What type of a trip is this? Basecamp or expo?
Expo-ish. Point to point with a circle back for trailers. There is no "outs" of the Rubicon.
The dates are normally the week after Fathers day, june. wed-sun. After the snowfall in the spring they will be able to determine exact dates

I saw on TLCA this year they have mid august for Rubithon dates
Date got moved back due to snow.
I have been in touch with the Chairman of the event and that is where I am getting my info from. He can help with logistics of parking trailers around Reno/Tahoe as well for those of us towing out.

For some reason I was reading it as next year's dates, not what has passed. My bad
What do you guys think of using a 100 with 2.5" lift and 34"s with skids/bumpers/sliders? The requirements say 2.5" lift and 33"s but also front and rear lockers, which I don't have. I do have ATRAC and center locking diff.
You will need a big winch!!!!

And about a dozen friends who want to spend 10hrs per day stacking rocks non stop.
Yeah, "expo-ish" to a certain degree in that you need to carry in from the bottom everything you'll need to get through four days until you're back out into civilization. That's tools, spares, food, clothing, alcohol, and camping gear. Those of us doing it in a 40 need to be smart about what we're actually taking and then stowing it all in the truck.
So in other words, a bed roll, pillow, couple cans of beans and a large flask?
Maybe some string cheese and a roll of TP.
I am not going to say no, I am always impressed with what people can do with their rigs. Again, as long as he has a big winch, and a big W on it.

See my comment above. There are a few threads in the 100 forum. It’s been done but it’s not the right tool for the job. It will require a lot of winching and a lot of rock stacking.
