California NorCal Jeep adventures!

Just came back from Pinecrest, going up 108 I saw a grey TJ that was packed to the brim, had cargo netting. Sadly I wasn't in my TJ, i was driving my gramps' Cummins.
 
Did some wheelin with the kids today. Only went in about a mile which was plenty fun on 31's :D No breakage but the hitch rack is not Rubicon approved :meparto:

Looks like fun. I am hoping to do the rubicon next summer.
It's a classic and really a must do, IMO. I cannot do the entire trail on 31's; hell, the short spot I went through was sporty enough for what I am running. The skids definitely took a beating :D Couple dudes came through on 35/37 and rolled through with relative ease.

I have @tomtaylz old set of 33's sitting in my garage. Im sure he wont notice we were to borrow them for the weekend :p.

Have you ran the rubicon before? (Full trail)

Not the entire trail. I have gone in a ways in my XJ many years ago but cannot recall how far. Always wanted to just never pulled the trigger.
 
Its been on my list forever. I feel that I am finally to the point were the jeep will make it through without to many issues. In an ideal world I need a higher crawl ratio but I am not about to dump 2500 on an atlas and haven't found a rubicon transfer case for sale at a reasonable price.
 
Left Sunday July 22 for a 6 day Jeep trip through 3 different National Forests in Northern California, starting out at the south end of the Mendocino National Forest.
All packed up and leaving home on Sunday.View attachment 49208

Glad you missed all the fire drama on your journey. How'd the RTT perform?

Oh I see how it is! Slick Rock wasn't good enough for you? Lol! Glad you got out there and banged around thru the rocks a bit. You could manage the whole trail on your setup, but you'd want friends along to drag you thru some of the sportier stuff, and lots of under armor. I ran the trail on 32's, but had to stack rocks a few times, and pull cable once.
