California Rubicon Trail Run

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.

Where there's a will there's a way! Lol!

well now that we have my problem figured out, what are we going to do about that snake problem the rest of you have?

I'm debating buying a hammock.

 

[bobthetj03]

I have snake shot rounds. Rule of thumb: Keep the damn tent door zipped up!

I have a hammock tent you could borrow

 

[Thunderhead]

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

I'm hoping not to be stuck that often where I have to hand out enough jerky to constipate a horse

I'm debating buying a hammock.

I have 4 hammocks if you want to use one.

I have a real funny after Halloween/Party/trying to get into a hammock drunk/dressed as a caveman/with only a loincloth on story that might come in handy at breakfast in the morning.

that should be worth a few winch pulls

.........What shocks did you go with? If they are currie or similar be prepared to need a spring compressor.

Sorry missed this on initial read. Went with Rancho 5000x.

I meant springs... But the ranchos are a nice choice.

Oh 4” Savvy Lift.

 

[Alex01]

Oh 4” Savvy Lift.

Looks like they put currie springs the kit? Be ready with the spring compressor then. @bobthetj03 saw how much fun I had removing my 4 inch springs not too long ago.

That's going to be one awesome rig once your done with it. You and @tomtaylz will have clones.

 

[bobthetj03]

Those Currie springs are no joke man!

Yeah I believe they do.

I will have em ready, thanks for the tip, normally don’t have to use them.

Funny story about Toma Jeep I was looking up a custom license plate on CA website and it was already taken. I start looking through build threads and HE HAD the plate!

So I guess we have similar taste. Haha

How much lift did you net with the Currie 4” springs?

 

[DrDmoney]

64 wrenching days till the Con Run, what mods and repairs do all of you have to do?
I have to:
replace my front upper and lower CA’s
Replace u-joints front DS
Replace u-joints rear DS

62 days left and I can cross off Control Arms, man I sure can feel the difference. The old RE’s would transmit everything back to the frame. Got all my camping stuff sorted too.

 

[bobthetj03]

Any reports on if the outhouses are still along the trail?

 

[Alex01]

How much lift did you net with the Currie 4” springs?

Roughly 3.5" front 4" rear. Based off spring length. I never took measurements from the start.

 

[Daryl]

Any reports on if the outhouses are still along the trail?

I passed one at the Ellis Creek bridge and another about halfway between Soup Bowl and Little Sluice.

I can check

Edit: oops just read the above.
