TLCA TLCA Rubithon Wagon Run

Scot the bottom pic has become my screen saver, just wanted to say thanks, I didn’t take many pic this year.

Right on! You're welcome Ray. It's hard to remember to take pictures when you're busy crawling.

 

[RAYJON]

Yes, but everyone else took a lot of really great ones, was showing the album to my father in law, he physically can’t go wheeling any more but loved the pics..

We did not run Big Sluice, correct? If not, what was the trail like that we DID run? (I'm confused)

We did run Big Sluice, We bypassed Little Sluice and Old Sluice. There's no bypass for Big Sluice.

I just watched a video of some Jeep guys going through there and I don't remember something that hard

[TeamJake]

For future reference, do any Rubithon runs go through Little Sluice or Old Sluice? Or the RTF loop?

 

[woytovich]

What are they running in that Jeep video?

 

[Pighead]

That's the Big Sluice

 

[woytovich]

Man I don't remember doing that.

 

[woytovich]

Wait. was this the long downhill (where I tore out by front diff drain plug)?

 

[Pighead]

I do not recall your drainplug, but it's the long downhill just before the springs

 

[woytovich]

Scott was being a hero spotting us when I got a little too cocky and clipped a boulder with the front diff and the plug tore out - it must have already been backed out some. That's never going to happen again as I've welded it solid now.

Woy, that little section in the vid is at bottom of Big Sluice before the bridge, it is somewhat easy going down, can be very hard in an FJ40 going up. It is short, maybe 30 yards, you drop in, bounce down a few drop offs, hard left and done, never remember it until your front driveshaft is in the dirt on the way out Sunday, then you know it well. Going up it has also removed my hi-lift once, The Mudrak Double Locker runs the Little sometimes, the old all the time, no runs I know of run the RTF loop. I know some of theguys bring their runs down old sluice or have, I guess thats a trail leader call on the day of at time of depending on type situation.

 

[RAYJON]

We bypassed the little sluice depending on the year it can be nasty, the RTF loop usually has a group the does it on Saturday,

On the wagon run given the Pigs we are wheeling and trying to get everyone thru we did great this year, doing more difficult stuff is possible and several runs do just that, I tend to error on the side of caution, if you and John decide to come back we can go up to Fordice and watch other people break stuff…lol..

yes

 

[Firemedic831]

I am working on the runs now and we will have a whole new format . There will be 12 rigs max per organized run . Registration will be open Jan 16 .

 

[TeamJake]

@Firemedic831 Thanks Jeff! 12 rigs max per run is a smart idea. Excited to see what runs you come up with.
