...I see that you got stuck, but did you get any damage?
Break any parts?
That trail looks like fun

Edit:
I am still in awe over this trail!
...How long did it take start to finish?
I think this needs to be planned for the Nor-Cal Group!

What do you say Kidjeep?


If it didn't take so long and cost so much in gas, I would love to do this trail with ya'll. Dallas is a bit of a hike.

Gonna try and make EJS next year, however.

Great pictures and thanks for sharing!!!

I simple want to one more inch lift to help more ground clearance – not sure if 1 body will help or change from 3 to 4 inch Full Traction Ultimate Lift but do not want to spent more money and do not want to change from 35 to 37 due to $$$. I already invest over 10 k on my JEEP! Robin or Kidjeep or anyone - Any suggestion?

Yes, got some scratches and vulnerable on stock rock guards/rails and under of my jeep and rear PureJeep. FYI – Rear PureJeep really protect my jeep very well! Awesome! No body damage on my first trip to Rubicon trail. I already order PureJeep rocker guard since Oct 2007 and still wait for it. Rocker guards are MUST!!!!!

On Saturday morning from Loon Lake to Buck Island Lake - about six hours and saw infamous Evolution's jeep at Buck Island Lake on late afternoon.
Overnight at Buck Island Lake on Saturday. Then full all day from Buck Island Lake to Tahoe on Sunday due to stuck seven times with our fellowship's vehicles and also stuck at Cadillac Hill for almost 2 hours due to other FJ and group long line stuck or whatever. Finally we arrived Tahoe at 6 pm. It was long for us!!!

No break any parts - key is good spotter - follow the spotter to avoid hit big ROCK!

DizzyLiz - Someday I will join with you folk – Nor-Cal Group

Also depends on where you got hung up. If it was the diff's, shock brackets or the like, then only bigger tires will help, no lift with raise that stuff any higher. I smack that stuff all the time due to 32's and realize I need bigger tires, but don't want to at this point.

Great pictures! Rampage i sent you a PM. Going from a 3 inch to a 4 inch the correct way. You would need to replace the coils, pitman arm and bump stops. Also you should add track bar brackets that come in the 4 inch kit. With that you will have the same ride that you have now.

Thumbs up

Hey Mark that is neat to look at these again after experiencing it first hand

We are curious, did you get any pictures of Cadillac hill?

I was in shock and most of mine came out fuzzy!

Default Cadillac Hill

Yes, I went up to Cadillac hill with no problem and did not take picture of this part since there are long line waiting to get out of this trail.

Which part Rubicon Springs?
