astateofmike Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Anyone interested? The group last year has some members still needing to conquer it... Tim, the guide, was asking if there is enough interest to hire him again. I know a lot of people asked "why would we need to pay a guide" but I think the people on that trip would say it was worth every dollar.... So, this is something I may be interested in doing, but can't go alone..anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I would love to do this. I am going to try and have my rover ready for this. Count me in for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRonB Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Worth paying Tim! Mike, have Tim reach out to me and we can talk. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 OK! I missed the fiasco last year and I'm not going to miss it this year!!! I need to be someone's co-pilot for the trip though. The LR3 isn't going to to see the 'Con anytime soon. Who wants me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelCowan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 What would the minimum vehicle requirments be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 33" tires, at the very least a rear locker (front as well preferred), HD axles, 3" lift, sliders, front and rear bumpers, diff guards, HD steering components and winch is nice. A complete check on all fluids, belts, and know issues resolved. Trail spares specific to your vehicle. Run the Rubicon Rocks at Hollister (to the left of the Stair Steps) to test out everything. The Rubicon can and will find ANY weakness with your rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, remember that a bunch of us are doing the Jeeper's Jamboree in July on the Rubicon...I'm sure Tony as trip leader will be posting up details...so if you can't make this one there is an alternative! Different type of experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlores Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can a LR3 with a lift, tires and rocksliders make it on the Rubicon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can a LR3 with a lift, tires and rocksliders make it on the Rubicon? Not if you care about your truck, or want it to become a dedicated trail rig.http://www.lrrforums.com/showthread.php?t=12498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Some sclr members did the Rubicon in lr3's. Look up the post on sclr forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Some sclr members did the Rubicon in lr3's. Look up the post on sclr forums. If it's the same trip I read, they stopped and turned around @ Buck Island; didn't complete the entire trail... more hard obstacles to come after Buck Island e.g. Rock Squeeze, and Cadillac Hill. Still brave and got to give them credit for taking LR3s out there. Now to see an LR3 on the Dusy Ershim is another story (smile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOHybrid Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Id might be up for it if it was late august or September. Me too... I/we don't need to pay for a guide though it's just not my style man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different type of experience though. Have fun chuck; no Jeep Jamboree for me. Like to have LR only Jamborree. Lol. Paid (with Scully as the guide) or non-paid. Perhaps we can have two groups. Will and Nathan aka Slohybrid are excellent spotters, and have a lot respect for them. They don't need guides. Been on the Dusy with both and they are the best! I will help organize but not trail lead - I'd go with the Scully/paid group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'd certainly go...me an' the Rubi, we gots us a score to settle...and this time, ah'm a-comin' loaded fer bear! As much as I like Tim and would gladly wheel with him anytime, anyplace, I have to consider my hard-earned and meager dollars, and if the group is split in to guided/fee and non-guided/free, I'd probably go with the latter purely for economic reasons.

stevenmd Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 If the dates work out, I'm interested in going as a passenger, will help pay for fuel, food, drink, cost of guide, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRonB Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Looks like we have enough interest for a trip to the Rubicon this year "Return to the Rubicon" We have the following interested:-Colin-Nigel-Gary-Ron-Dave aka Sasquatch (passenger)-Enrique (passenger)-Antonio-Chuck-JFlores-Lutz-Nathan-TigerDan-Steven (passenger) We need to split the group anways, so we can and might as well have Group 1 (Tim), and Group 2 (Need a Volunteer Trail Leader?) Great to also see experienced wheelers as passengers e.g. Dave, Enrique... - Driver need to lock their eyes on the "one" spotte,r but the extra help from passengers by stacking rocks when needed will come in handy. Ham radio is a must in ea group (1 and 2 can communicate) and within the group. First aide kit Now need to find out when would folks be able to make it - After the Jeep Jamboree in June/July would be good I think (Aug or Sept). We went September back in 2009; weather was nice; not too cold and most important now crowded.- We have our NCLR annual event Sept 30th - Oct 2nd, and some of us are planning a Baja Mexico Trip mid October Post up if interested in Aug or Sept or suggest a date, and if you prefer group 1 (Tim), or Group 2. Group 2 will be non-paid and need a volunteer trail leader. Need to confirm this with Tim but $250-$300 per vehicle is the typicaly cost to give you an idea.

NigelCowan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm good for anytime in Aug or Sept EXCEPT the weekend of Aug 19-21... In regards to groups I can go in either as it really doesn't matter to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
