Rubicon trip for 2010????

I can probably pull it off--as passenger/shotgun/b!tch that helps with fuel & food costs...
 
Lets set the date in stone - we all agree we don't wanna run on a weekend & we wanna take our time - leavin LA area on a mon is a biotch - leave sun nite - need to get a good head count goin for sure, & could use SOMEONE from either the socal chapter (HI CAL) or the norcal chapter to lead.we'll work out the details as we all chime in - I AM IN

Just called the school. Kids off for summer on the 24th so im gonna set a date of the 27th of June through the 2nd of July. Or we can extend it to Sat the 3rd.

Im debating on whether or not to bring my kid. It be cool if he came but only if i know there will be others with their kids on the trail. He's 7 years old. ANyone else with kids they plan on bringing?

Julio
 
Julio, If I can make it, I would possibly bring the family... I have 3 kids... 8,10,12 actually by that date the numbers would be 9,11,12 :D
 
they can hold it for a few days :D
 
julio, why does it matter if anyone else brings their kid? this is a great experience for your kid, & i know u wouldn't wanna do it w/o him! teach him a little video work & he'll be great!!!!
 
what kind of requirements are we looking at here? im thinking obviously F/R tow points. sliders? lockers? lift? tire size?. i looked online but everything is so vague

Sliders would be good. Lift?? Dunno... 4-5 inches maybe? Lockers definately help. If u can only buy one get the front locked.

yea same here, can i do it on 31"s with a rear locker?

Max I'm almost certain if u had 2 lockers u would be ok. But I'm not 100% sure. Never been .
 
im there when you guys pick a date. im up here in Sacramento now.

it really depends on how much you mind body damage. it will happen on 31's so be ready. i have seen rigs on 31s open/open make it through but they did not look the same coming out!
 
are we gonna shore up a start date or what? i'm easy as long as i have some notice - we need a start date & body count. would like to have cal chime in on this since he's run it a bunch of times, or one of the norcal guys willing to put up w/ us "southerners"

would like to have cal chime in on this since he's run it a bunch of times,
I thought there was already a start date...head north Monday 6/28, return Saturday 7/3 or something like that.

Cal might chime in after KOH... he's been seeming to be just a mite bit busy lately with his work schedule & KOH prep. If we're both sober at the same time next weekend, l may try to pick his brains at KOH. But no promises!!

I've heard the same "you can run it on 31s open/open" before, and supposedly many places have bypasses, but my impression is that if you're on 31s, plan on damage, try to avoid it & be happy if you succeed...
