Has anyone seen or heard of any new ones? Spicer built one that looks pretty good

Anyone got any good shots of setups that have a really great low stance on 40's? I know of Delfab's solid axle swap and of course the one and only @BroncBuster

Rough country make great stickers, and that's about it :P I think Loren driving his Bronco through the Rubicon counts as a good test of a ~2.5" lift. They are running new upper arms to correct angles etc. Skip to 4:35 mark to hear some details :) It's interesting that he hadn't upgraded the tie...

For reference a JKU and JLU fit through, although on the way down it's pretty common to hit/rub the cage a little starting over the passenger rear door and back from there. I even got my hardtop through it one time with some help :D Going up there is pretty much a 100% chance of very hard...

That is Big sluice, and is waaay easier than old sluice. You can see on the map I posted, there is a light grey line marking "True Big Old Sluice Box". That section is easily the hardest part of the trail and is gnarly if you try and drive it uphill from Buck It's still cool to see Loren...

I'm really curious if anyone has driven it in either direction, but mostly uphill? For those that don't know it's an optional part of the Rubicon trail, just outside Buck Island Lake. Downhill is still pretty hard, but going uphill from Buck is a very tough trail with high chance of body damage

What? I've personally spotted more than one stock rubicon up that exact hill. And I'll also bet money that the stock Bronco Badlands could also make it.

Another example of some pretty ordinary driving/spotting. There's really no reason to pull a cable there, they just needed to back off and try a few different lines, or simply give it a bump. But it does show how easy it is to get each tire perfectly placed with a slippery rock ledge just in...

Wrong! Period! There have literally been thousands of IFS rigs drive through the Rubicon. And there will be Bronco's all over it in the coming years

The mildest, but it's still a good little section :D The Bronco's were going up it just to the right of the Toyota in the next clip This is to the left and is a bit harder: This is to the right and is a LOT harder:

100% agreed. I've seen old timers in willys with maybe 40hp and 29" ladder treads conquer the Rubicon :D I'm sure that with a well set up Bronco you'll be able to drive 95% of the trails you like. Then for the other 5% you take a purpose built crawler

I've had it worse in a manual when I'm trying to avoid clutching in. I've always managed to get my brakes set up stronger than the auto can push through. Probably could of fixed with more fine tuning on the manuals then, or just better driving :D

You can certainly do hard rockcrawling with a manual, but I'd take an auto all day. It's not just about final crawl ratio, but also about control, and with an auto I can just move an inch and stop, then move another inch and stop, and do it all without ever rolling back even a tiny bit. With a...

I think you meant to say Fordyce :D I posted in the other thread...but anyways, here's a JL and a Gladiator on the exact same obstacle from a few days ago, and this angle does a much better job showing the rocks. There are multiple different lines to climb this from mild to wild. This is one...

Here's a JL and a Gladiator on the exact same obstacle from a few days ago. This angle does a much better job showing the rocks. There are multiple different lines to climb this from mild to wild. This is one of those little climbs that you either just walk up it without an issue, or you have a...

The red square indicates the exact spot they are trying to drive up :D Lots of people have to take a few goes at it because when you go up you get double bumped.

To give you guys some more perspective this video shows the line they are trying to drive up. It is to the right of the tree line that the Yota is climbing

Almost any tire will hook up on the rocks on the Rubicon trail. That section is a bit tricky and you can sit there and watch guys with 40's struggle if they're off the line. It really doesn't matter if they are bald AT's, but it does matter that you air down to 8-10psi Breakover is worse in a...
