Default Stock Rubicon back from Moab



Amazing rigs. Ran a few blue trails - the JK could have handled a lot more than I put it thru but I was alone so couldn't put it anywhere I'd have a high probability of needing help with an extraction. Did several ATV/Jeep trails that didn't look like they'd ever seen a Jeep - had fun tacking the obstacles the ATVs would bypass . Washout's and such. Ran a good section of White Rim trail and even the first couple climbs going into Lathrop Canyon but since I was alone and it was a little muddy slick I decided to get out ... did a 10 point turn mid trail. Yea for 2-doors. HA. If you've been down that trail you know what fun that was.

The most fun trail for the stock rubi was Dome Plateau including the "more difficult routes" and a challenging section not on any map I can find that appears to have been cut for the ATVs (was rather narrow but a ton of fun).

Sorry we didn't get much pics or vid but here's some teasers. That ledge climb (took it straight up and down) was great fun with a stock rubi

Cool pics, very brave going alone. I started going by myself on trails but can't imagine doing that now that I've seen the problems guys get into.

That's for sure! I'm setup pretty good right now up to the suspension/wheels/tires/drivetrain.

$$$$$

I have Shrockworks sliders, LoD bumpers front and rear w/ tire carrier (decided to do it before the tires or I'd regret it), Rockhard tranny/oilpan skid, CB stuff.

NEED LIFT and TIRES!

Hoping for the lottery. It's like the Johnny Cash song - One Piece at a Time.
