Aaawwwe - thank you. You're so sweet
Yes, Jack will be there. I'll make sure to keep him strapped in tight. He'll probably never forgive me...

I ran Corral Canyon (Sidewinder?) and at least part of Bronco last May stock with just 33" AT tires and Rubi rails and escaped with a dent, a scrape on the top part of my driver door (a little off camber by a wall of rock...) after having been winched, strapped and tugged about seven times - all after being assured that I'd do just fine on the trail
Good times

Yes, it would be an amazing trip.

Cumulatively we did. I did it 3 times and Vince did it twice.

You can expect pretty much the same from the Rubicon trip!
