Mffoster Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Been meaning to say that I’ve put this on my calendar. But... what are the dates as of now? I’m flying out to the UK on July 2nd, so I’d like to be back home in Reno at least a day before.

We'll camp on the 27th at loon so we can start early on the 28th. We also plan to have staggered starts and rendezvous locations for those coming in late Friday and Saturday.

Mffoster Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Wait, Loon Lake is half way in on the Rubicon if I remember right. So camp at Loon Lake on the 27th but start the trail on the 28th? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanB Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Don sir, It is finally the year that I have run out of excuses as after a few subtle modifications last few years my D2 checks all the required boxes. So yes please sign me up. I will also be bringing a buddy as a passenger a NorCal Rovers alum Josh Flores who has volunteered to spot and trail assist as needed.

Andrew Wood Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Congratulations Alan on getting your D2 Rubicon ready! I drove it last year and it was the most beautiful and challenging trail that I have run in California. I'll see you and Josh on the rubicon buddy.Andrew Budeck, DHappel and Jethro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elherbinator Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Any recommendation to get this beauty rubicon ready by the end of jun? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHere are the minimums I would recommend. A lift of at least 3 inches, 33 inch tires, a locker would make things a lot easier, rock sliders, steel rear bumper, gas tank skid. That should be enough to get you through. A steel front bumper with a winch is always nice too, but not necessary as long as you have some tow points.
