Cheapest way to get rubicon ready?

SoCalDozer said:

I really want to go do the Rubicon just to see the area and for the experience but I don't want to be the guy holding up the group.

I know WOL post up 35's as the minimum req for runs with you guys but I did have a question regarding this.
It doesnt say anything about 2dr vs 4dr so how would my 2dr with 33x12.50's do vs a 4dr that is running 35's? wouldn't the break over angles be pretty much the same?

In regards to that, would just going with lockers front and rear vs going to 35's instead be a better setup on the 2dr?

Just trying to figure out what route to take as far as upgrades go so I can partake in some future runs
and also I will be getting a winch most likely before I do either of the previous listed things.

Oh yeah and one more thing, Merry Christmas everyone

There are bypasses that you could take on most of the harder obstacles anyway. I would think 35's would still be the minimum but that is just from looking at the video's and pictures as I have never been there. Hoping to get there this summer.

You can do the whole Rubicon in a bone stock 2-Door but, as you've mentioned, you would be holding people up. 35's are still what I would prefer but, on a 2-door, 33's would get the job done too. Lockers would help make things easier but, are not required.
