WORRIED ABOUT RUBICAN

[JOHN R]

I HAVE AN 81 SR5, WITH 529 GEARS, DETROIT IN THE BACK AND A LOCKRITE IN THE FRONT, 35 INCH TIRES, A WARN WINCH, A 4 INCH LIFT AND ROCK SLIDE RAILS, I AM WONDERING IF MY RIG IS READY FOR RUBICON??? I WANT TO LEAVE THURSDAY NIGHT FROM MARLIN'S SHOP WITH EVERYONE ELSE. I JUST DONT WANT TO GO WITH THE GROUP AND GET LEFT BEHIND ON THE TRAIL. I AM A FAIL DRIVER, MORE DARING THEN SKILLED, BUT WILLING TO ROLL IT IF NEED BE!!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A GROUP RUN BEFORE, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THE REST OF THE MARLIN CRAWLER GROUP WILL HELP ME THROUGH IT OR LEAVE ME BEHIND TO FEND FOR MYSELF?

You don't have to be daring and roll, it will just hold the group up. Your truck sounds like it will do fine, just relax, pick good lines & you will forget it was daunting after the first few miles. You gain experience by actually going & wheeling. Some things are still intimidating to me, they are just different things than when I started.

rubican is a shitter, rubicon is a trail 

they take stock jeeps through every year so does that answer your question?

so what your saying is pretty much any toyota  even with open gears would make it 

[hawaii500_1999]

i made it with 33's, open axles, 4 inch lift, 4:88's and two come-a-longs.

oh yeah the old 22r was so tired it smoked like a frieght train and used up two quarts of oil on the trip.

You won't have any porblems.  Maybe just your clutch burning up if you use it too much.  But with the lockers it will be fine.

Hey John, Like we talked, you'll be with a very good group. Good with parts and help. It like the Marines, "no man gets left behind". Atleast thats how Me and my buddys work.
