Rubicon is sitting on a small lift on 35's, I'm on 4.5 lift with 32s and the other red jeep is sitting on 35s with about 6" lift, and yes fatty anytime man, these pics were taken in the new trails I was telling you about.
I work Saturday this week, so it would have to be Sunday / Monday. For me Shane, and I'm not discriminating but it's a bit of a treck for me so I would like to do some more challenging trails. I really liked the route we did last time. Also I'm still waiting for you to make the trip to Nanaimo so I can show you some "Real" trails lol.
Anyways let me know if you're going to do a 2 day event or not, if not I may pass this time because as you know....my jeep really doesn't like highway speeds and if we are just going to do FSR than it's not really worth the risk. Hopefully the stockers aren't offended. Let me know either way I just may make the trip anyways.
I would suggest starting on something easy like a trip to Barsby lake, it's a bumpy road with some semi deep puddles but nothing that requires any sort of driving skill or line picking. You could also get into extension fairly easy and there is some great offroading in there for all levels. I do however see you are from South Island so maybe Shane can chime in here about some entry level wheeling in the Sooke / Duncan area. Also if you are on Facebook, there's a great group of folks down South Island. The facebook page is "West coast jeep club" (No you don't have to own a jeep) and they go out every week and do a lot of entry level wheeling. As for gear you should be carrying....20-30' recovery strap, comalong, couple liters of fresh water incase you over heat or get stuck in the bush for any length of time. Some standard tools i.e socket set, open end wrenches etc. I carry a lot more as I go a lot of gnarly places but diff fluids, brake fluid, engine oil, spare engine belts, u-joints, spare tierod, chainsaw / handsaw, chains, tarp the list goes on. All I can really suggest is don't push your limits if you're by yourself and always, ALWAYS be prepared to break down, nothing worse than breaking down and not being prepared.

A few pics from my last outing.
HEY HE'S ALIVE!!!
Sundays are still good for me and I'm always happy to come out your way. Good to see you're back on the trails.
