    Rubicon Springs is owned by 16 individual shareholders. Not the person who runs Jeepers Jamboree. The folks who own the Springs keep it open for all who wish to enjoy it. Please come down and see us.

    If you like to wheel and live in Cali the Rubicon is a must if you get the chance. I did it for the first time last year and it will definitely be a trail I do yearly. I went at the end of September last year and it rained and drizzled most of the second day we were out there. Looking forward to going during the summer, so I can enjoy of the springs out there.

    Awesome video guys… I’ve always wanted to do the rubicon trail. Got a question for you.. do you think a Sasquatch package with zero upgrades could make it through the rubicon? If not what upgrades do you recommend without getting to carried away. If you guys can get back to me on this that would be great. Just be nice to know about the weak spots on the bronco so I can address them! Again great video & thanks! Oh I have a 2023 4 door Sasquatch package 2.7 & love it!!!

    You want some “egg hack” knowledge to make space in your cooler & not worrying about braking them?
    Crack them & put it in a sealed container (ex. a jar/gatorade bottle). Plus it saves you from having trash (egg shells & the egg cartons).
