Well the Rubicon trip was a blast!! My truck preformed awesome, I hit every obstacle untill Buck island, with the exception of "Little Sluce". The soup bowl was the toughest one, but the Yota made it up. For not having a crawler box or duel cases I am happy to say that I made through it. I let a buddy of mine who helped me with the build also have some fun with my truck. We didn't go all they way through due to the propane rig, didn't want to run out..lol..

The begining, before gate keeper.. As we all know pictures do it no justice, these rocks and drop offs are alot bigger when you are driving over them.


The very begining of the soup bowl.



I have a video starting after this picture, but I don't know how to post it. I will try later on.

My buddy Rudy driving down thousand dollar hill.. I think that it was it was called.




I am waiting for the video from another camera of Rudy coming about 1 inch from rolling it on its side..lol... that would have been classic..

Old Sluce




Some of the other rigs that went..

Zak's Blazer 350 on propane.



Sick rig, first time out on the trail and it did really good. He had a couple of hiccups, but hey 1st time out. But the Blazer isn't finished... when he is done with it is gonna be insane.
Here he is doing the Soup bowl, you can see the size of this one... and like I said my toyota made it..




John's Runner. His wife was driving and she did really good. she had a little bit of an accident, but other than that, his Runner did awesome... and I actually saw what duel cases can do for you.... can't wait to get mine



oops (thousand dollar hill) same spot that mine almost went over.



Now my truck finally has some battle scars. They give the yota some character, and it also gives me the motovation to remove the bed and make a custom one.. and as far the side panels... it will buff out...lol


Bud Built kicked butt, glad I installed the day before I went


I just put on the BFGoodrich KM2s and let me tell you, they preformed unbelievable.. not once did they let me down and they took a beating. I ended up paying 197.00 each for 35x12.50x15 mounted and balanced. I strongly reccomend them to anyone that is looking at buying new tires.

 

Nice!!! I can't wait to get out there! Check out my trip report from this past weekend as well! We had a great time too! My TG skid is all scraped up too lol it was put to good use

 

JEREMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you do to the side man?

Did your friends in their jeeps make it, the ones who came up here?

Looks fun.

I vote bed bob!

 

Looks like a great time. I would love to take a trip out there with my rig.

 

Mike, just a little rubbing on the rocks...LMAO...


Yeah the other Jeremy with the silver jeep made it through. The other dude (Chris) who rolled his at high lakes didn't go. We are talking about a high lakes trip next. As far as the bed goes, I am going to remove it totally and build one... I saw one that I really liked this weekend at the Con... Gonna take some time thought... steel isn't cheap.

 

I will say one thing, under armor and rock sliders are a must!!!!!

 

Well Jeremy i really want to take my truck, but i dont' think im ready/confident enough in my driving ability. But then again if you have spotters it should be good, and ive never had good spotters. lol

So are you going for a flatbed or what?
Let me know on the highlakes run, if you want to take one.. I would most likely be down to go.

My friend thomas signed up for the marlin crawler roundup so i might go and ride with him. Which would be sick!

 

You guys definatly need to add some rock sliders.

 

NICE!!!

I love wheeling trip pics, especially right now while my baby's outta commision

 

For this guy, and the rest of us normal people. Someone needs to make longer seat sliders for these trucks. lol

 

Mmm rockwells

Looks like a good time. Rig's lookin good too. I hope i'll get to get on some rocks like that some day.

Oh and no wonder the runner went over... that things insanely tall!

 

x2 on insanely tall !!

Nice pics jeremy, Maybe in a year or 2 when my rig is fully built ill run the con, Not now though, I kinda like my sheetmetal..

 

great pics bro!

 

Allow me to introduce you to "homebrew"
