Default Rubicon Run 8/8/08-8/10/08 (Fixed)

brknmach (Matt) and I took a 3 days Rubicon run with JeepCoop.com guys(one from CO) on th3 8/8/2008. The smoke has cleared from the sky plus a perfect wheelin weather. First night we have camped by the "Soup" so we can enjoy watching people run the "Soup" and enjoy the breakage by the Soup while drinking beer.
Then 2nd night we camped by the Heli-pad at Rubicon Spring and had a great cookout.

brknmach and myself were leading the group and taken up all of the hard lines that we could fine. The only 2 location we didnt do was the "Soup" and the Box since it requires a major modded rigs.

My rig has suffered few damages of dents and bent down under as I just wanted to go nuts on all of the obstacles. Plus my brand new front ARB bumper isn't so NEW anymore And my rig has just reach 6,000 miles as we completed trail on sunday
And did I mention that I hate those trees on the Rubicon trail that like to jump out of no where at any giving time!?


brknmach's rig suffered from some serious scratches on the rear driver side wheel as he slipped off a line then trying to regain traction while sandwiched between 2 large rocks. Oh yeah and a one dirty poopy trash bag at the rear.


Here are some of the pics from my camera. (sorry about the uneven sizes of the picture. the photobucket uploader isn't working properly on my Firefox...)

I think I kissed that same tree on the Big Sluice!

You planning on going back anytime in September or October? I know you'll be leaving the country and all

The jumping tree was near Buck Island. Big Slucice still owes me a driver side door and door handles on my WJ.


I am planing to go back on the Con' before I leave sometime in early-Mid Sept. But till then I still want to do Fordyce. Maybe I will combine the 2 together.
