Looks like a fun trip!

It's always hard for me to tell with some of the special effects you use in your videos, but either Russ is standing 30 feet behind Garrett or...

Using Russ for "scale." :cheesy:

Awesome pics guys! Looks like everyone had a great time. Going to have to make this trip sometime in the near future.
 
Ok, as someone that has never been there, it seems I see Eddie, Adam, etc, using winches, etc to climb over some obstacles...if these rigs on 37s and 40s are having a tough time crawling around, how the hell are the Cherokee, etc making it through the Rubicon....or is there the "scenic" route that is just a nice smooth graded dirt path that can be taken as an alternate route?

The Rubicon Trail is a tough trail all on it's own. There are optional lines you can take and I personally wouldn't recommend attempting them unless you're ready and okay to break things or do body damage. Not saying that you will break or damage anything - just that you need to be aware that it is more likely than not to happen. That being said, I make big tire and a winch are a requirement to do these lines and more times than not, a winch IS needed.

BTW, we never used our winch and Adam's ENGO didn't work :crazyeyes:

As much as I love to give Adam shit about winching he was doing an optional line that Cindy had just done on 40's and he was on 35's. Same with Chris on a large step/slab he tried on 37's. Physics and geometry are always a factor. Besides that there wasn't much winching.

This ^^^ :yup:
 
So when they say the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk was able to do the Rubicon, you're telling me a trailhawk can make it through most of that?!
 
Here are a few of mine...

I will post more later today.

Negative. We took all the optional hard lines that you can still run. When something like a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk runs the trail, they stick to the main route which is still a challenge but can be done very very slowly and with a lot of help.

Eddie, are the squeaks coming from the Johnny joints or the coilovers or somewhere else? I'm starting to squeaks on my jeep and I'm just curious. Thanks.

We have a few squeaks going on but the loudest one you hear in the video is coming from the rear upper control arm Johnny Joint at the axle end. After installing our LS, the new exhaust dumps close to that area and causes the joint to squeak after it heats up. For your purposes, if what you have sounds the same, I would try greasing your Johnny Joints and working them in manually.
