Hello all, Im am looking for some thoughts/input from the Sierra folks that have run the Rubicon on the feasibility of a day trip in early October.
I will be attanding the 40th in Moab and dont want to drive from Pennsylvania without trying to get as much out of the trip as possible. We have a 6500 mile bucket list trip planned thats mostly educational, family road trip stuff that im gonna get some wheeling into also.
My XJ is a 1996 2 door, 6.2LS/6L80/4.3Atlas, 35in MT/R's, Hutchinson beadlocks, 4 Link Full Float Rock Assault 9 rear, 3 Link HP44HD front w/D50 gearset, ORI Struts, PSC hydro assist, fully skided/stiffened, 2x6 rockers, armored and hybrid caged.
I have heard mixed opinions on the Rubicon taking three days to take in all the sights and also saw 5 hour trail times? Im sure the five hour quote is for ultra4 type wheeling, thats not what im looking for. Im driving my XJ the entire way with a 6x8 off road camper in tow with my wife and 11 year old son. I plan on leaving the trailer at a campground during these intended day trips.
I have seen mention of the trail being broke up into two parts, does that mean two day trips to see all of it? Is there road access in the middle?
Any insight or opinions are welcome.
