Default "Rubicon" Ready?

So I am heading to the Rubicon from Arizona Tuesday. We don't actually hit the trail until next Monday but because I have family in the area I'm going to get a head start. In
major anticipation, I've been mad crazy on upgrading what I feel needed to be. So far here's my list of most recent mods:
Riddlers front and rear, Bilstein 5160's (because I'll be going so fast ha), LCA Skids, EVO Magnum 44 kit (c's and sleeve's), New Smittybilt XRC front armor (bad-A), New rear
Or-Fab carrier/bumper w/rotopax cans, Hi Lift, Cobra CB WXST, rotated the new(er) KM2's and of course some pics:

Looks like you are ready to go!

Be sure to carry tools along with you just in case. Are you going alone or with others?

Yep, definitely packing some wrenches. No there's a big group of CA Guys going, two different clubs from socal & norcal meeting up

That's good to know thanks. SO maybe with lockers I'll hit the little sluice?! Ah, probably not.

Hi, Alverson! Thanks! It's a work in progress and I was picking up some parts for the trip. Which jeep was yours? I saw a stock 4 door and a well-done TJ in the parking lot when I left.
