Work over your Jeep Sully...The Rubicon is 17.3 miles of shear h**l.
We are planning on two days to do it dropping in at Loon Lake and hitting the Granite bowl. Make sure you pack for it. I would recomend that you have spare front and read axles, U-Joints, any other spare parts that you might need.
I lost my rear axle on that trail.
To All:
The week before Josh died he was planning on comming out to Moab and doin the Labor day with us. I say that we do a Moab run in his memory...

My jeep looks like a little CJ, but you have no idea what it's capable of. It has taken me everywhere I have wanted to go so far. I am locked up at both ends if it makes you feel a little better. Who's bringing the winch?
Why not take our time and do a 3 day trip?

As to why two days? if we drop in at Loon Lake and start wheeling we can make it past the little suice and granite slab and camp at Buck island lake. The next day is going through the big sluce and Cadilac hill. after that your on dirt road. Three days is a start at George town and add's 12.3 miles and a nights stay at Road house springs camp ground. Three dayz is tough carrying food/ gas/ and spare parts.
Just going 17.3 miles is sure heck. There isnt a rest spot along the whole way...its a nice 5-6 hours just to make Buck Island lake from loon Lake..add one problem and your setting up camp in the dark.
The Rubicon is tough and IT WILL find the weakest point on your Jeep.
It is not like Moab where you have 10-20 minutes worth of driving between obsticles is is 17.3 miles of obsticles.
There are no bypasses ecpt for the little suice box and that is still a 4+ bypass.
on some sections if a Jeep infront of you breaks down you have to wait till it's fixed...there is no other way around it.
Trust me on this it earns its 9 rating very easly

More CJ wheel questions
I like Medford as well. I love the weather-being warm, but not really really hot (not like what most people see Oregon as 8)-- raining all the time
). Not sure what exactly the city is like, only been there a few times. I hear it's nice though
