A couple of us were dreaming around the campfire at RF about going to the Rubicon Trail. Well, it looks like we might do more than dream about it. We're starting to talk about dates in 2022.
Hopefully this thread will be a place to talk about details, list out what upgrades our Jeeps need, what gear and spare parts we'll have to take, and how in the heck we're gonna handle the 5,000 mile round trip! Haha.
So stay tuned .... and more importantly, JOIN US!
Dates
Currently we are looking at early June of 2022. But that could change. Ideally we'd run the trail mid-week.
Jeep Shipping Info
Based on three quotes I received for open car carrier transport, it's about $2,800 on average for door to door round trip shipment of a Jeep to Reno. It takes 6-8 days each way, so ship early. Also, many hotels and even Jeep dealerships will take delivery of the Jeep if you haven't yet arrived on the plane. Building in a few days of buffer seems to be a really good idea.
Can I Come?
Absolutely!! Just bring a Jeep that is very well maintained and moderately capable. And more importantly, bring a good attitude and desire to have FUN.
