- Chris and Liam pack up the Expedicion de las Americas Jeep CJ-7 and attend the 70th Annual Jeepers Jamboree for an action packed week on the Rubicon Trail. From tackling granite boulders with 32 inch tires, a carbureted inline six, and manual transmission to floating in the river at Rubicon Springs; Jeepers Jamboree is as much of a rock crawling adventure as it is a party! Come along for this multi-part series as we show you why the Jeepers Jamboree is considered the granddaddy of off-road events.

Bucket list trip!!! Check!
Bucket list...life is short, don't wait too long to check things off, Shawn.
So great
spent a lot of time pack backing that area years ago, but have never gotten to Jeep it. Still hoping someday.
Thanks Dean. BTW, life is short...don't wait until next year to check things off that bucket list
Darien gap CJ pretty cool
We were there as well!
Jamboree is always a blast.
Looks like you guys had fun!
We had a blast, one of the funnest Rubicon runs I've done in decades. C-
You never relise how big the slabs are after gate keeper until you drive it yourself and see another Jeep on the other side and it looks like an ant lol
Thanks for the input. The Granite Bowl is pretty amazing, an excellent example of the effect of glaciers on the Sierra Nevada.
“Stock Jeep” - are you not piloting a Jeep that traversed most of the Western Hemisphere?
Yep! Back in 1978 when Mark Smith and his team embarked on Expedicion de las Americas, these five CJs were bone stock with the exception of bumpers and winches. The ordered them specifically without A/C or power steering to reduce complexity and the possibility of failures. Image that, across the Americas (and the Darien Gap) with manual steering. Tough old boys they were.
Jeepers Jamboree have a bad rep in Alaska for skipping out on their debts. Mark Smith and Ken Arnold are dead beats! Ask mewhy…. Make my day!
