BC witness Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 Brian, that should be a very capable rig. The Rubicon comes with some very useful offroad gear, like locking diffs and extra low axle and transfer case ratios. I hope your area of Fla wasn't too badly torn up by that latest hurricane. 1

WanderingLorax Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 @Brian I have a 2014 Rubicon. It will take you where you want to go. 1 1
Brian Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Thanks BC, we got lucky! I had a 2003 Rubicon for 10 years before I got this one.
Popular Post MIB Posted October 16, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Posted October 16, 2022 2022. Arrived a month ago yesterday. Got the plates on Friday. It's on its second tank of gas. There are upgrades in its future but first by bank account needs a breather 'cause along with this, I got Starlink and a new Sage fly rod. Time to put the brakes on for a month or two. In the mean time, I headed for the woods yesterday. Mostly fishin' but also keeping my eye open for tracks and running an audio recorder. It's about a month past the "hot time" for the area so it was no surprise that I heard / saw / smelled nothing at all. River crossing is via the white log. Sketchy but .. sketchy. The burn scar from a fire in 2008. Up on top above the ridgeline the burn continues. It is just over a mile to the top. I've spent a lot of time down in the shadow along the trail looking up into the timber with big glass .. spotting scope, 'nocs, and camera, but I haven't seen anything interesting in there yet. Nor have I heard anything. This is probably my favorite view. As a fishermen those pools look **good**. Can't get to them from the trail side though, there's a 15-30 foot drop-off into the water all along on my side. No way to get back out. The views are great. It's not that pleasant, though. By the time the river drops enough to fish the mosquitoes get real bad and by the time the mosquitoes back off the yellowjackets, then hornets, get going. There's always some kind of irritation. It's a nice place to hike in winter if you can get to the trailhead (snow). Also not a real safe place to camp because of the trees from that fire 14 years ago that are still falling. MIB 2 1 4

wiiawiwb Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Nice wheels...congrats with the new Jeep. It will confidently transport you hither and yon in the backcountry. There is plenty of time for add-ons and customizing your new rig. Just enjoy. 1

Are there many spots to park along the road if you wanted to venture into the forest? A few. Part of that road is not Subaru friendly. You will need a bit of a lift to get through. The end of the road makes a loop.

The end of the road makes a loop. That may depend on who’s driving the Subaru. 😂 My wife’s Crosstrek has a lift and tires, but thankfully, it hasn’t been off road. She has been with me when I take my Jeep places that I find fun. She doesn’t always agree. 1
WanderingLorax Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Nice Jeep @MIB. They’re definitely way to easy to spend money on. I believe that you can fit 35s without a lift on a JL. I’m not positive though. Mine is on its third lift. There are days that I wish I didn’t have 37s. It can be a pain to get into after a long day.
