Can I bring my Fj Cruiser on 33's![]()
Thanks for the call Tony. I really want to go and to be honest the harsh conditions are something that makes it sound all that much more desirable to me. This could be one of those epic adventures in life. However, I'm not traveling alone so I'll have to see what the group wants to do.
Chopped for clarity.

In fact, for such a large run, the wagons have done exceptionally well with minimal breakage. Like anyone from insanely built 40s, to cobbled together minitrucks, breakage can, and will happen. It's the nature of it. Just don't single out wagons, it's undeserved.
I think this year will be a challenge for everyone. I also think it's time to.....
End wagon racism now!

On the brighter side, I'm thinking this will be one run when I don't have to listen to the 80's guys talking about how nice it is to have air conditioning on the trail...

I just have to say this: There has been plenty of talk over the years about how the wagons are slow and will hold people up or be trail plugs. It hurts me because it's unfounded. Also, because it is a possibility, that is the reason I have asked Tony to let the wagons go on Wednesday, since most of the participants in a real hurry are on Thursday and Friday runs.
The objective reality is that the wagons have never held anyone up, have always arrived to Buck Island and the springs earlier than expected, and have not yet caused a "trail plug". In fact most trail plugs are FJ40s that break pinions, or poorly maintained rigs that shear knuckle studs.

ps: i might very well be in one of those horribly put-together minitrucks this year, so watch out!![]()
My post was in jest obviously! If we're holding someone up, we'll pull over. In past years it has not been an issue, and yet everyone assumes the wagons will be slow. Let's face it, the Rubicon is NOT about how fast you can run it. My take is that anyone, on any run who breaks down in a major way, will be slow. Still the Wednesday departure is nice to have an extra day if needed.
With only 70 registered rigs, I doubt we'll have much in the way of log jams (knocking firmly on wood)...
Does anybody (on the Wagonrun) know how to build an igloo?

I'm so pumped up about this run. The small numbers, the challenges, and just being out on the trail with awesome people in a beautiful place.

Ross.. how many have participated in past events?
140 rigs - 175? 100 is a small year. Split over 3 days, that's only 20 - 30 on the trail at one time... Wagon run will get a big group through.Ross.. how many have participated in past events?
