There is a group of 15 guys from jk forum doing the rubicon July 8th-12th. Look in NorCal section. I think it's full as of right now but you never know if people will back out.

You could run the rubicon stock as long as you have a rubicon. Just a tougher trip but it is doable

I dont want to beat the hell out of my 13 Rubi. Im sure/know its possible, but more likely to do damage and I wouldn't want it to take forever!

I read on their website that the Rubicon Jeep jamboree is August 8-11. My guess would be the weekend (or midweek because I'm down for anything) before that would be more ideal. From what I hear it gets pretty manipulated and a lot of stacked rocks during the event to make it easier.

There are two events you need to be aware of: the jeep jamboree and the jeepers jamboree. The later being the earlier of the two...late July typically. 👍

So when do you think you will be ready by?

Well crap! Probably not until early August but I'm not completely sure. It'll all depend on when I get my Jeep from the dealership. :thinking:

I dont want to hold u guys up, making it right after the big event in july which makes the trail easier.

I tell u what...go ahead and plan on it without me with whatever dates work best for you. I'll try to bust out all my mods before i go to the Philippines for a month and return July the 15th. If I am able to get her ready, then I could make the trip July 18(earliest) to the 24th(last possible to be out before the jamboree).

If August sounds more appealing then i can do any date with ample advanced notice! Sorry to be a pain in the ass lol

I could be up for this, depending whether I am stuck in your town for work.
