Tom, sorry it took so long for you to find the link. I thought I sent it to you earlier. So are you still wheeling? I bought a rock crawler. Been having fun in Havasu Arizona. Keep in touch.
You did a great job showing folks the spirit of the jamboree. Great volunteers, great food, and the most beautiful place in the world. Thanks for taking the time. I've run it since 1989, but missed it this year. First time was in a stock fj40 Land Cruiser with 29" tires and no power steering. Found out very quickly what I needed to do to my rig. Thanks again, maybe I'll see you next year. You knooowww your going back.
Thank you for taking the time to create this. First one I have seen where it was the view of what it would actually be like driving it. Gave me a much better perspective of what the route was like to do.
It was a blast and worth every penny. Food, spotters, mechanics, spare parts, and entertainment. Three days and two nights on the trail. $425. Look up Jeep Jamboree USA on the web.
soooo, what are all the screens blocking your veiw? i have been running this trail for ten year and we still just yell to talk toeach other. But to be honest a CB would be nice. Nice video.
I use an iPad Mini for GPS navigation. The smaller screen is my Droid cell phone that is connected by wifi to my GoPro. That way I can control the video recording from the phone.
Its an iPad Mini in a LifeProof case. All that in a RAM mount. The mount to the roll bar was my fabrication using billet roll bar clamps and a strip of aluminum from the hardware store.
There were 90 Jeeps on this Jamboree. They varied from stock to wild. The only requirement that I know about is that you need tow hooks and a gas tank skid plate.
Who is responsible for killing the Little Sluice? I am guessing it is groups like the Jeep Jamboree that wants to include as many paying customers as possible so they make it easier...
I was just there last weekend with my 2017 tacoma off road. Went from east to west for about 5 miles and turned around at one of the lakes. Are there enough bypasses if starting from loon lake to make it all of the way through with a more or less stock 4x4?
Not without body damage. The trail has been improved significantly by the jeep crew (roughly 100 rock stackers every year), however last winter had a lot of snow and re-arranged everything. It's currently a lot like it was more like 2010ish. I did it in a 2015 4runner with a 2.5" lift and 33" tires. I have full skids underneath all the way back to the transfer case, rear bumper skid, heavy duty sliders, and a winch. Plus lockers and ATRAC. I beat the snot out of every slider and skid. I winched probably 20 times. And I did it with a very experienced group and am an experienced driver (I also have a rock crawler). In its current shape it is not a trail for a stock tacoma. I would say you would have a 95% chance of major body damage. And with stock tires a high chance of mechanical damage as well. At a minimum you should have full aftermarket skids including the gas tank, a 2-3" lift, winch, and taller tires. And then it will still be probably 50% chance of significant damage. If you wait for Jeep to stack rocks with it's crew in september for the jamboree it will get a LOT easier. Specifically there are no bypasses for the difficult parts of the big sluice and Cadillac hill. Those are high risk areas for body damage. You can probably make it out the other side, but I would be realistic in terms of understanding what the risk of damage is and you're willingness to take on some significant damage. I also would not go alone. There is no cell service - at all. No - hike to the top of the mountain - literally NO cell service unless you hike over Cadillac hill and about 6 miles down toward Tahoma. So plan on 20 miles of hiking in difficult terrain to make a call out. Don't go alone without a very capable vehicle and ability to do repairs in the field.
The worst Rubicon video out here. The computer screen is one piece that shows this guy buys the Jeep with all the bells and whistles (looks like more computer systems than a Google driverless car!) but lacks that earned part - growing up with it and knowing how to drive it. It’s become one of the sad aspects of that trail.
This used to be a good trail, now its just easy... even a stock Jeep can do it, what’s the point.... A piano are you fn kidding. Rubicon trail might as well have the Hilton in the middle for the jeepers to take a break ... LANDCRUISER Because everything else sucks . Get a LANDCRUISER join Toys on the rock's and have some REAL adventures.

Happened across this trying to show a buddy the trail and was pleasantly surprised to see my jeep two in front of you. Nice job with the video
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. Guess I followed you for awhile.
Mike, it was fun wheeling with you, a friend just sent me the link to your video, thanks for including some pics of my jeep!! Tom

Great video! I like your video, no distracting background music and the perspective is great!
Thanks for the comments.
Love e camera angle very original and way better than mounting it right on the windshield !! Thanks for sharing the video
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this up.
Awesome video great footage. Would be nice if you could narrate a little bit and tell us where you are on the trail. Thanks for your time 👍🏻
Great idea. I have tried the concept on other videos but havent been happy with the audio overdub.
Looks like a blast. Hope to see you there this year.
I have to drive 2600miles from Ohio to get there. Might not do it every year but it is tempting. I do plan on doing Moab in April.
where in Ohio? I am north of Cincinnati, I may join you in my JK
Camera view is fantastic! like being in the rig
This looks like a blast. What kind of tires are you running? I notice your friend at 8:15 mentions that they run well.
They are the old style MTR.
Great video!
Thanks for the thought
Interesting camera placement. Never really seen anyone place it there. I like it.
Which placement did you prefer. I tried several. I like the one from inside the cab that shows both doors and the windshield.
Yes the one from inside the cab. Sorry I commented before you started moving the camera to different areas.
Thanks for sharing....nice TJ
nice that the humming bird showed up as there was chopper noise (3:50)
That was actually a bee. We had a lot of them on the trip.
Thanks man I will look it up now is this in California
Yes. West of Lake Tahoe.
Howdy. Good vid. Which offline maps are you running. I can't seem to find a decent one for my iPad mini. Any suggestions ?
I use MotionX on the mini. Great app.
How much does this cost to do looks like a blast
It was a blast and worth every penny. Food, spotters, mechanics, spare parts, and entertainment. Three days and two nights on the trail. $425. Look up Jeep Jamboree USA on the web.
That's a nice trip.
Thanks. Planning to go August 2017.
You will have the best time. I will be there. Green I Dragon
soooo, what are all the screens blocking your veiw?
i have been running this trail for ten year and we still just yell to talk toeach other. But to be honest a CB would be nice.
Nice video.
The screens are an ipad for GPS nav and my cell phone to control the camera. The screens are low enough that they don't block my view.
bxtr986 I still wheel the trail analog, especially since the jeepers made it easy as hell.
What roll cage do you have installed ? I love the style and looks very strong.
The cage was in the rig when I bought it. I have seen similar setups so I don't think its custom.
do you think my 78 k5 blazer will fit good going up the trail's
Lots of variables but with enough lift, tires and lockers yes.
what is your computer screen, ipad ? and the little square thing above it?
I use an iPad Mini for GPS navigation. The smaller screen is my Droid cell phone that is connected by wifi to my GoPro. That way I can control the video recording from the phone.
What nav app on your iPad are you using??
Great video! What mount are you using for your tablet and were did you find it?
Its an iPad Mini in a LifeProof case. All that in a RAM mount. The mount to the roll bar was my fabrication using billet roll bar clamps and a strip of aluminum from the hardware store.
Where did you park you tow rig while you were out on the trail?
I left the Tow Rig at a campground in South lake Tahoe
great vid
Thanks for watching
what kind of 2 way radios do you all use?
CB radios were in all vehicles. The spotters and staff had what I assume were HAM radios but I couldn't find them on my HAM rig.
How beefed up does your jeep have to be
There were 90 Jeeps on this Jamboree. They varied from stock to wild. The only requirement that I know about is that you need tow hooks and a gas tank skid plate.
it's not too bad -
33″ to 36" tires, front & rear lockers, tow points, skid plates, rocker panel protection and CB Radios are mandatory
You gotta pay to do this?
You pay for the guides, support and food. It's free if you do the trail on your own.
What trans and tcase are you running?
My LJ has a 5.7 Hemi and transmission from a RAM 1500. Atlas II T-case and 60's. Overkill for the Rubicon.
9:32 looks like someone needs a hand ;)
Who is responsible for killing the Little Sluice? I am guessing it is groups like the Jeep Jamboree that wants to include as many paying customers as possible so they make it easier...
I don't have anything to compare it to. This was my first ride. There were obviously numerous difficult obstacles that we did not do.
I was just there last weekend with my 2017 tacoma off road. Went from east to west for about 5 miles and turned around at one of the lakes. Are there enough bypasses if starting from loon lake to make it all of the way through with a more or less stock 4x4?
