Finally made it to the famous Rubicon 4x4 Trail!

Started planning this trip about a year ago and finally got to hit the Rubicon Trail! Jeep took some serious beatings, but we made it through and back on the trailer! Here is a little bit of the adventure.

We did the Rubicon once a year in the 80’s and are going again this September. Thanks for the refresher video! 👍

I made the trex in 2022 for my 60th birthday towing my '92 Samurai on 36s with my RAM from Virginia to the Rubicon and did the trail solo for 2 days as my group bailed on me when I got there. I broke twice. A rear driveshaft and a sping centering pin. Both were trail fixes from great people out there to 'save my bacon'. I'd like to return but my wife now has a spinal cord injury and is in a wheelchair so we probably won't get back there but it was a 'bucket list event' Glad you got to go and get some good footage. I enjoyed watching.

Thank you sir! I'm glad you got to hit the trail! Sounds like a great 60th!

Where in Va? I am in Roanoke.

Glad you checked it off your bucket list. At age 57 I’ve only been on it once about 15 years ago and I live in Northern California! Me, my wife, and my 1986 Jeep CJ7 made it through with no breakages. Drove the Jeep there and drove it home 2 days later. Went with a group from work. Fun trail.

@@fastdude2002 I had a stroke on February 1st and it'll be a year or more before I'm back into driving to my 4x4 on the trail. I'm recovering but it's hard

Awesome. It’s definitely on the bucket list. Thank goodness for those sliders 😂

[@WGR_Garage]

Keep it on the bucket list. We were so pumped to be there and the adventure was perfect

Thanks man!

Bucket list trail.

[@davidsferrazzo]

I camped in that same spot last time I went with my brother in law 4ish years ago had a blast, we jumped off a cliff into the lake and I remember my face stinging cause I put my face down lol

[@WGR_Garage]

That's awesome! Was definitely a heck of a camping spot. Super cool yall got to enjoy the same spot!

[@HardEarnedBacon]

We were on the trail at the same time haha. Was wondering what the story was with the YJ at the beginning of the trail. That's us at 15:40, I was in the red YJ and my buddy was in the green/black TJ6. Did the bear come through your camp at Buck Island that night? He stole our trash and tried to get into one of the coolers lol.

[@WGR_Garage]

That's awesome!! Yep, broke his motor mount day 1. He jumped in my jeep and had a good time still. Yes! We had bears 3 nights in a row. They stole tortillas every night haha. Bears must like tacos. 🌮 I was ignorant and left my food container on the ground outside... closed. They opened it quietly and only took tortillas. The other 2 nights we had food inside of jeeps amd they jumped through a window both nights. Too funny. Hope yall had an awesome time! Thanks for checking out the video

[@HardEarnedBacon]

@@WGR_Garage haha they certainly know how and where to look for food. They also like chicken teriyaki I guess since that's what they went for in our trash. Funny thing is when we were done with the trail we spent the night in South Lake Tahoe at a motel and I threw our trash into one of their outdoor trashcans in the parking lot- the next morning when we got up another bear had gone through the SAME trash that I had cleaned up on the trail and strown it out everywhere for a second time lol.

[@WGR_Garage]

@HardEarnedBacon haha nobody warned us enough about the bears. Well if you ever make it out to Arkansas area, reach out to me! I'm deployed until May, but after that, back to the trails!

@@WGR_Garage right on brother stay safe!
