Looks we have almost 15 JK's going to the RubiconI think i'll set a cut off of 15 Jk's which will be big enough group,i think anymore may slow the pace too much.If those who are going think about some extra lighting in case we get caught in the dark.The SoCal group will be out there too about same time,group at Buck Island.Still haven't got much input from CenCal group.So keep on working on your rigs,if need help,post up a install party,these are a great event to get things done fast.MOAB is coming soon, i think when these guys get back from this event we should all get together and have a run somewhere and keep testing your skills and your rig.The Rubicon will test it and then some

If the prep runs are open, I'd like to tag along too! I need to do some field testing sooner however so I can be sure my bumpstops are set correctly before that time.

Im in and I will bring another CenCal rig if i have to tie a strap around it and drag it up the freeway.

I really really really would like to run the sluces with the Socal guys on tuesday. I think they are camping at buck lake monday night? Do you think that would be possible? Im not sure who all plans on running them, I would like to do so with as much company as possible.

SoCal has 5 rigs so far and I'm sure more coming, so pick a BIG camping spot at Buck Island for Monday night - it will be an awesome time! Tuesday is when we are running Little Sluice and Old Sluice. Really looking forward to this.

Welcome to the forum. You should come out to Hollister Hills next week to meet many of those going to the rubicon on this trip.

See other NorCal posts.

That would be great. What days would it be? I work the weekends but might be able to take it off. Hollister sounds fun
