It’s on my bucket list as well. Personally, I don’t think I would do the trip with less than 2 weeks off, which means I’m cutting into family vacation time as well. The drive to/from and then taking the time to enjoy the trail and then hit some other trails would be cool. A trip like this is probably not in the cards for me until 2020.

I am pretty sure every factory Rubicon and Trail Hawk can run Rubicon.  It's a basic trail, for a jeep, according to Fiat.  I think I have seen their videos where they get to put the trail rated stamp on the rig after clearing Rubicon.

John, bring the wife...she'll love the quality time and scenery.

I'd either have to do the 4-5 days out, 4-5 days back thing with some good food/stops along the way, or buy a double and split drive time.

Pencil me in for next year if I am still living in Atlanta.  If I live in Colorado, pen me in.

Big thanks for all the feedback. I definitely will do this trip in the future but maybe 2 years out as well.

Following.......

I’ve seen videos of rigs on 37’s doing the rubicon. I think it’s more so the line you choose to take than anything. Looked like there was stuff for just about every build size out there. The rubicon is definitely one of my bucket list items. I would most likely drive/haul cross country and plan accordingly for site seeing and iconic food along the way.

Willys running the Rubicon trail. I like the color of that blue one with the skinny swampers.

I know my wife’s friends husband ran the rubicon last year. I’m pretty sure he had 35’s. I seen several videos of folks goin on 35,s. From what I’ve seen and read they do a certain types of maintenance to the trail. They fixed the lil sluice so it can be done on 35’s. Where only buggy’s could do it before. We would b in to go maybe next year or so.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Shipping my rig out to a friends house in Cali and flying out to run the trail. Time being the most valuable thing these days.
If you are 2 years out, I would be interested in doing the same thing.
Group trip???
