Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
I just finished a one hour shower. Can't believe the dust that is all over, in and around my body and truck. Flares took a beating. Popped the center perf grill when I slammed on my winch. Never used it so much in one day.
Looking back, I'm glad it's done, now I don't have to go back. The absolute most technical and difficult wheeling I have ever done with this truck.
It was great meeting all my new friends. Food furnished by Each Morning I Love You. Outstanding. My wife enjoyed the camaraderie. Jeepers were considerate for the most part. I think they were amazed More then anything else. We are driving mostly stock vehicles. My mods are 37" MTR, Fabtech tie rods, rubber duck ucp. I heard one jeeper say that his cost $58,000! He could of had an H2.
Anyway, I am crashing.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
I was at Cadillac Hill on Saturday and made contact with the group for a while by CB radio. I did hear that H2 Rocks broke a tie rod. Too bad Adam wasn't there. I got to the top of Cadillac Hill around 11:30 am and hung out until 4:30 pm and could not get the group on the radio at that time. They said they were hoping to make it to Rubicon Springs by 5:30 pm that day. They would have had about 3 hours to make it out from there I would guess to the staging area on the Lake Tahoe side.
When I first made contact with the group Sewie gave me his GPS coordinates and they were only 1.8 miles as the crow flies from where I was at the top of Cadillac Hill.
I was heading back to the Lake by myself when I came upon a tight spot with a sharp right hand turn with a large boulder in the center of the turn. I got stuck on my drivers side undercarriage and thought I was screwed. This was about 5:30 pm and I had no winch with me. I stacked rocks and messed around for about an hour and then a jeep came by and strapped me off of it. This was the most built jeep I had ever seen and it was clean. I was so filthy from digging and stacking that I didn't get any pictures though.
I went back Sunday morning around 9:30 am almost all the way back to Cadillac Hill but could not get anyone on the radio so I headed out.
What time and what day did you guys make it out? It sounds like you came out on Sunday some time?

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
Last night around 10:15 ET is when we started getting calls.
I can't see the pics on that web site posted earlier.
Sounds like you all had a great time. Now go take a shower and watch out for the hidden spiders in your trucks.
BTW, nice driveway pic, DRTY.

Re: Rubicon Run 2K6
Tah2oe, I would like to make another run in thru the Tahoma to Rubicon Springs. Let me know when you are wanting to go, I'll go with!
It's no where near as difficult as it is from Loon to Spider Lake or Spider Lake to Rubicon Springs, we can camp at Rubicon Springs and come back out.
Who else wants to go
