Whoever puts this on is amazing. Way more people then I would want to be around wheeling but the event organization looks second to none. Thanks for the great video.
Another additional note, it is fun to run Rubicon East to West, we ran it in 2018 from Tahoma to Georgetown on a series of weekdays with no one around. We are retired so that made that easy. Very peaceful and quite.
Outstanding vid! You did a great job showing everything, and answered most of my questions. I noticed you carried a few extra gallons of gas. Did you need any of it? Im planning on doing that trail next year so getting prepped now.
We didn't need the extra fuel. But i often take enough fuel if it is was needed and I got to the other gate and it was closed and I had to return all the way back out the way I came in. So in this case, the trail is about long enough if you ran it end to end both ways you might need fuel.
That drop never looks good on camera. But at the same time you are so tired by that point you don't get out to get the shot hahahahha. What time did you start the trail? Did you see yoru camp in the video? I tried to get a bunch of the campsites in the video. Tag the time if we did. We would love to see it. Thank you for watching.
I have been wheeling El Dorado NF for 40 years and would like to say there is no better way to "air up" than using a CO2 tank. I used to use a compressor but that takes a long time. With CO2 I am aired up from 18 psi to 45 psi on 33's in 30 seconds per tire.
Great video . I have had my 2003 Jeep Rubicon TJ a.k.a Aces Bode's Bombider up hells revenge Moab and that was my hardest to date. But always have wanted to trail the Rubicon in Bode.Is it really harder the Hells revenge?
Simple answer, Yes. The Rubicon is a pretty technical trail with many rock crawling obstacles that often have soft dirt or sand on them making it rather difficult. A majority of the hard obstacles were in part 1. If you are comfortable with Hells Gate, even though this is different type of wheeling. But if you are comfortable, that meaning knowing tire placement, you will probably be able to do the Rubicon. Now there is some other factors like breakover angles, large rocks, and waterfalls. But go with a group of friend, have a winch, takes some floaties for the creek, and have fun.
Very cool...on my bucket list...saving for my Rubicon. One observation...I see a lot of kids running around. I thought "Jeepers" Jamboree was for Adults?(16 and over) and that "Jeep" Jamboree for the whole family? (Just an observation...because two of my kids are under 16...I didn't think they'd be able to come)
This was the Jeep Jamboree event. Jeepers is the ones that put it together. So it is the Jeep Jamboree hosted by Jeepers Jamboree, if that makes sense?
Usually Jun to Sept, but this year has been pretty snowy so later the better probably. But watch out for the Jeep Jamboree as they reserve the trail in Late July early Aug.
There is a lot of people out there that would be willing to help people along. I would start on Facebook, as that seems to be a great place to find people.
Head on over to the website (www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1029-the-rubicon-trail) to make sure whether your rig can make it or not. Thanks for watching!
The Rubicon is unique as there is bypasses around the major obstacles. we have taken open / open vehicles through the trail. It does make it a lot easier to have lockers.
It is a depend answer. Do you go slow, BSing, need spotting, or are you all able to drive hard trails without help. A fast group could likely do the trail in a day, while a slow group would be 2 days.
Need more information to give advise. But you are better off going to our website and reviewing the information there. The link is in the video description above.
The more you go towards rock crawling, the more you want your center of gravity low. You will find more people that would rather have tent they have to put up vs having weight up high.

They did a great job, the trail flowed very smoothly and the food was amazing. You will find us going back every year .
Inspiring! Makes me want to buy a jeep again. I miss my old CJ7.
You have come to the right place if you need a nudge to get another Jeep :)
Thanks for the spotting at minute 13! That was me.
Very cool, this was a awesome trip!!! I love it when I reconnect with people I help or meet on the trail. How was your trip overall? ------ Josh
Looked like an awesome trip, thanks for sharing!
it was an amazing trip. thank you for watching
Thanks for your fun video.
Thank you for watching.
Terrific video. Thank you for sharing. Heading to the Rubicon in July of 22.
You will have fun. Make sure you post up a trip report after you get done.
Thanks for sharing Josh 👍 can't wait to run it. Stay safe man and happy trails 👣
Will do, thank you for watching. - Josh
This was fun trip.
that it was

Totally believe it. Our plan next time is to run to Rubicon Springs for the west, then turn around and head back out the same way.
The backwards, Rubicon! Used to do that in the 70s 80s and 90s. It’s all worth the trip. Such a blast!
Thanks for sharing. A buddy and I are hoping to do this trail one day when our Jeep's are done.
You will have a blast. Head over to our trail page for more details. The link is in the video description above.
This is a dream trail. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching. What kind of setup do you have?
Great Trip! Excellent videos. Thanks Man!
Thanks for watching Ron. What has been your favorite video so far?
That was an awesome video. Some parts of it looks scary where you would damage your vehicle. The scenery was nice too.
For sure, it isn't an easy trail by any means.
thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching.

Awesome 😎 👍 video
Thank you for watching.
What's your favorite trail?
I was there! I did see that you left out the large drop at the top of big sluice on the right lol
That drop never looks good on camera. But at the same time you are so tired by that point you don't get out to get the shot hahahahha. What time did you start the trail? Did you see yoru camp in the video? I tried to get a bunch of the campsites in the video. Tag the time if we did. We would love to see it.

Those are nice. We wheel with a few people that have dual, dual arb's and that is pretty efficient.
Thanks for putting these videos together.
Did Kim’s JL take any damage to the hard top?
No, made it through with no scratches or damage

When is the best time to go do this trail? It's about a 2k milie (one way) trip for me and I it would suck to get there and be the wrong time.
Usually Jun to Sept, but this year has been pretty snowy so later the better probably. But watch out for the Jeep Jamboree as they reserve the trail in Late July early Aug.
Our group will be doing the trail September 9th 2025. We will be looking for an experienced ( on the Rubicon) guide to join us.
There is a lot of people out there that would be willing to help people along. I would start on Facebook, as that seems to be a great place to find people.
I have a built 19 Toyota Tundra. Would it be possible to try and take my full size truck through this trail?
Head on over to the website (www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1029-the-rubicon-trail) to make sure whether your rig can make it or not. Thanks for watching!
At what level of driver and vehicle would you recommend?
The Rubicon is unique as there is bypasses around the major obstacles. we have taken open / open vehicles through the trail. It does make it a lot easier to have lockers.
If one had a small group, 1 to 2 Jeeps, about how long would it take to do the Rubicon?
It is a depend answer. Do you go slow, BSing, need spotting, or are you all able to drive hard trails without help. A fast group could likely do the trail in a day, while a slow group would be 2 days.
Can no lift and 32 do it? I see a lot of places that are easier that weren't taken
Need more information to give advise. But you are better off going to our website and reviewing the information there. The link is in the video description above.
How long is this trail
Head on over to the website and/or apps for all the information for this trail and more! www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1029-the-rubicon-trail
You don’t see many jeeps with RTTs ..
The more you go towards rock crawling, the more you want your center of gravity low. You will find more people that would rather have tent they have to put up vs having weight up high.
Kinda thought that but figured you could confirm .. thanks and I look forward to seeing you videos 👍🏼
@Rubicon Trail Foundation
Can't do that anymore :(
