California Rubicon Trail Run

[Alex01]

I have done them myself in the past. But this time I am planning to have them done because of the time crunch.

The savvy tuck and brakes could be done in a weekend. You'll likely need to take the jeep to an exhaust shop though and get then to add 1 inch behind the muffler and remove 1 from infront to move it a bit. The brakes were easy. What shocks did you go with? If they are currie or similar be prepared to need a spring compressor.

I need to get my oil pan skid set up and make some jerky

Love how compact that thing is when its folded down......

 

[lowranger]

It weighs less than 30 lbs, I’m going to try to put my sleeping bag an pad in it before I fold it next time.

Hope they fit in it folded up. That's what I did with our Roof Top Tent.

There’s plenty of room in the cover bag so even if it won’t fold inside, I can still store them in there.

I fixed it for you, priorities you know.

Oh good. Leaving more room in your Jeep.

Yeah I can probably get most of it done in one weekend. Going to try to wait until it’s all here and just attack it at once so I don’t have to take the same stuff off over and over.

I just want to see a video of you getting in it. I think I would have a hard time and I suspect I’m a few years younger than you

LOL I think my Jeep is closer to your age than I am (61 in 7 more days), I've been in it a few times to work the bugs out, but I step in the beadlock ring, then on the tire, roll bar above tub, and because I'm 6' tall I'm practically in it. I ordered a telescoping ladder just in case @bobthetj03 and @Indy twist my arm to drink scotch (thanks for the heads up @lowranger).

The ladder won't help you, lol!

Don't forget you'll also be full from all the jerky @Thunderhead will be passing out.

Reminds me of a video that was shared with me a while back.

thats where my rope rescue training kicks in.

You better rig a catch net just in case back up plan #1 and #2 fail. @Indy brings the really good stuff!

Park under a tree and I'll bring my climbing harness for you. That way if you get to hammered we can hook a snatch block to a branch above the jeep and winch you up.
