I'm going on the Rubicon next month with my brother and a club from reno. i have a stock 4dr Rubi, except for a warn front bumper and the power plant winch. i was wondering if there is anything you guys recommend i get before heading out on the trail.

 

hi-lift. i heard it's helpful on the rubicon trail.

 

If you make it before I do-- PLEASE post some after pics.

I'm getting nuttin' but grief from my jeeeps club (none with JK's) telling me the stocker is going to take a real beating...BUT...but a lot here have said NO, it *might* take a beating but just go slow....

Either way-- we ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL want pics

 

Yes, please post lots of pics. Can't wait to see them.

 

Read this article before you go.

cool article- thanks for that.

 

Pretty good read. I liked this quote: "This Jeep is as Jeeps always have been since 1940: tough, capable, virtually unstoppable — but now chubbier and a bit softer. Show us a 66-year-old that isn't."

 

Take b4 and after pics of your rig. It'll make for great stories and posts!

 

Could not agree more...

And a belly skid plate. Rock rails. I would not go with out rock rails. any Damage will not be too bad with a belly plate and rock rails. 32 inch tires are ok, but if you have the $$$ get some 35's. A CB radio.

To prioritize:

1. Rock Rails and belly skid plate.
2. Lift/Shocks
3. Tires

Make the CB non-negotiable. Just get one. Even a hand held is OK.

I am jealous. I have wanted to do the Rubicon since I was a kid living near Sacramento, and now that I have the Jeep that can do it, I don't live there and have a hard time finding time.

Have a great time!

 

yeah ive been looking at the teraflex 4" long arm but money is a bit tight. I just purchased a warn front bumper, power plant a cobra cb and a few other things.
