Rubicon Run June 27th

Can't join this trip, but I'm wondering if I'm"Rubicon Ready".
My xj is on a 2.5" OME lift, 30's, tcase skid, sliders and ox lockers front and rear. I like keeping it as an expedition rig, but I would love to do the Rubicon.
Thoughts?

Obviously your main limitation is tire size but it is certainly doable. Drive skill and experience will have a lot to do with the outcome as well. You didn't mention a gas skid or steering upgrades or spares. Both would be a must.

Thanks, XJensen.
The only steering upgrade I have is a JKS trackbar, and discos.
By spares you mean axlenshafts I presume?
On well, time to buy more stuff.

The stock tierod can bend with little effort. A stock unit from a zj with a v8 is a nice upgrade or the Currie setup if you can and want to spend the coin on it. With your tire size I would be less concerned with the axles unless the rear is a 27 spline unit

I would always carry a spare rear DS and if you are going to run stock steering carry a couple spares, if a ZJ v8 tie rod, carry a single stock spare. I think you could get through , just take more time

I think you'd be fine. You might scrape the bottom of the Jeep on everything but you'd get through.

I know Lou plans to be up there by 5pm. Josh, if you are not up there by then, Lou can fish some of the surrounding lakes? Lou plan on that and we can play it by ear. I am trying to caravan with Lou if I can get my crap together by the time he is rolling through.
