well if you have the means to tow it then i would ust in cas of breakage.

I think my biggest problem to over come is that if i break something i will need to make sure i am able to fix it to get home.  And besides i don't really want it take 10 hours to get there and then another to get back.

 I drove mine from Fresno, loaded with camping gear for the  Round Up. I also had lots of raffle prizes like Power Tank Kits, chromo rear axles and 2 complete cage kits. I have 5.29's and 33's.  Sometimes I might get to 70 mph    My truck has 230,000 miles that I know of and I took my time. I was with Marlin and BigMike so I had to push it a little For a time  5-7 hrs.  When are you planning on going?  I might join     

The answer to your question depends on a couple of things:

(1) Is your truck safe to drive on the road?  If it's your daily driver then it shouldn't be a problem unless you normally stay off of the highway.

(2) Is your truck trail tested so you don't expect anything to break?  It all depends on your build and driving style.

I drove my 89 4Runner from Washington State to the Rubicon for MCR7 and drove it earlier in the year to Moab.  In the past I drove my 85 truck to Moab three or four times.  The key is that I treat my rigs with respect and build them to be stronger than I plan to need.

The only real downside to towing is that you could have to make the round trip to get the tow rig if you didn't plan to run the trail both directions.

x2 I'm either going to Moab or Rubicon this summer...(

I've been both places and Moab is much much better than the Rubicon.  The Rubicon basically translates to one of many trail options in Moab.  I don't know the travel distance for each, but for me it's either 800 miles to the Rubicon or about 1,100 miles to Moab and I'd drive the extra 300 miles every time.  The Rubicon was fun, but I have not met anyone that has done both and would choose the Rubicon all other things being equal.

 

Just to throw another question out there,  when would be the best time to run the Rubicon?  Don't want snow but a little water never hurt.  Does it close for the winter and open for summer?  Most of the trails here do, reason for the dumb question.

I could be down to train to the con, let me know when you go
