On our recent trip across the world famous Rubicon Trail, Cindy and spent a lot of time filming our adventures and this thread was started to highlight some of our best clips. This first video is of Cindy taking Moby, our big white JK up the ever challenging Rubicon Trail Soup Bowl. I hope you enjoy :cool:


Here's a short clip of Cindy taking on the Rubicon Trail Buck Island Lake Double Bumps in our Jeep JK Wrangler known as Moby. As you've seen with Chris, this obstacle can prove to be a real challenge but as luck would have it, Cindy was able float Moby right up and over them. Enjoy :)


Close to the end of the Wentworth Springs length of the Rubicon Trail, there's a big ledge that you can take on if you're running a big set of tires. Here's a short clip of Cindy rockin it in Moby.


I will keep adding more clips as they become available so be sure to check back :yup:

Russ had to wait 2 years to take on the Rubicon Trail Old Sluice but, as you can see in this short clip, he descended the last and toughest section like a champ. Check it out!

This is a short clip of Chris Kelly taking on the Rubicon Trail Buck Island Lake Double Bumps which can be tricky not only because of the slick granite you have to climb but also because you have to hit them with your tires wet! As you will see in this clip, there's more then one way to get to the top but if you're the one doing the filming, you had better stand clear or be quick on your feet!

In spite of the lack of snow we've had up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains this year, it was surprising to see a good amount of water still on the Rubicon Trail. In fact, crossing the river, the guys in our group running 37" tires were getting sinking their tires all the way under and those with 35's were actually taking on some water. Check it out.

Climbing out of Buck Island Lake on the Rubicon Trail, there's a point where there are three different lines you can take. The one down the middle can be a bit tricky as the rocky face can push you into a tree on the driver side but, in this clip, you will see Garrett take his JK up with ease.

Not as many people run the Rubicon Trail from Wentworth Springs anymore but, there are still a few obstacles that are a lot of fun to take on including the Wentworth Sluice, also known as the Devil's Postpile. In this short video, Adam tries to take on a big line in his 2-door Jeep JK Wrangler running 35" tires.

Don't see Moby spinning very much even considering the slick granite and the fact that this is a very challenging line. Did you see any difference to the Nitto TG running the Toyos this time?
