I've also done the Moab (2000) and Arch Canyon (2001) Jamborees as comparison. My wife and I did the Rubicon in 2001. This is a must do because it's so famous. The trail is hard, but not as hard as some in Moab, it's just that it's relentless. There are very few easy sections, just rock after rock after rock. The Jeep Jamboree folks are great about helicoptering in supplies to Rubicon Springs for camping there. All we had to carry was ourselves and our camping gear. They also had a mechanic that made sure everyone made it to camp, even if it took an airlifted part and working until 2am to do it. Jeep Jamboree provides incredible support that makes the trip worry free. The only thing I didn't like was how disorganized the actual trail ride was. We sat at Loon Lake for two hours because nobody could get around a broke Jeep. Other times, and there were several, we found ourselves alone on the trail for several minutes at a time not always sure we were still on the trail. I was used to more organization and guides that stick with you from the other two locations.
I made it over the Rubicon fine with my 2000 TJ, 4.5" of lift, 33" BFGs and a front Ox locker. I think a mild lift and at least one locker would put any TJ in good shape for this trail. The biggest thing I saw was tires being stuffed into fenders, make sure you have enough clearance. Also, I saw grand cherokees hitting in the back a lot. |
