"I've never been on the Rubicon Trail before." I lived in Reno for 2 years, had a modified Jeep Cherokee (1999), and when I moved back to Arkansas I realized that the whole time I lived out there I never did the Rubicon. It was one of those things where I was always "going to get a bunch of us with Jeeps and do it", but for some reason I just never did.

The real challenge on the Rubicon Trail is the second half. Last third in particular. It’s a bit over 20 miles. To do that part, airing down tires and locking differentials is necessary.

Great stuff, thanks for the video and great job.

Jeepers usually carry spare parts with them when they go up the trail. Sometimes I see them fixing their damaged vehicles in our neighborhood. Their spilled oil can eventually end up in Lake Tahoe. As such, they should also carry a bag of sawdust or something to absorb their fluids and take home with them.

She frequently mentioned how rough it was and how it beats you yet states her tires are still at street pressure. Airing down not only gives better traction off road but also a noticeably softer ride.

I did it in a 2012 Rubicon with 35 inch tires and a 2 1/2 lift kit. It was a tough trail but I made it with some undercarriage damage.

The Rubicon used to be a maintained road, and, at least in the late '70s, it still had patches of asphalt visible.

07:25 That really is a problem. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited is soooooo good at everything except towing a boat. A higher towing capacity would really rock. (No I don't want a Gladiator.)

didn't air down? why?

made it through the Rubicon in one piece. ok, now lets look underneath...hey! judging by these scuff marks it looks like someone got high centered and dragged around by two other Jeeps while Roman and Tommy watched

The first thing I did when I got to the Jeep was check the tire pressure. I asked the Jeep Jamboree people, who were spotting for us, what we should air down to and they said they always run stock pressures. I would have aired down to 26-28 psi. It was weird, I know.

The Rubicon is not really a stock jeep. It's ready for off road. It's got more skid plates and rock rails, the bigger 33" stubby tires, the lower gear ratios on the axles and transfer case, the larger 44 DANA front & rear axles, and of course the front and rear axle lockers and sway bar disconnect. The stock (base) jeep is still very capable off road, just not nearly as good as the Rubicon.

OK, the "stock" Rubicon is NOT the same as a "stock" Wrangler, so the title is misleading at BEST. When you say Stock Jeep Wrangler, you are talking about a Sport, not a Rubicon.

5,000 tow rating on 4 door model!

I really wanted to love the new JL... I had a 2016 Rubicon Hard Rock Unlimited - LOVED it (was actually ok on road - and just a beast and super fun off road)... But that was a heavier frame and still went squirrely on road in the slightest gust of wind. I test drove a JL Rubi-Unlimited recently and was shocked at how much WORSE it is _on road_. I mean just a RAM 2500 truck going by slightly faster made me veer off center lane. Yeah - Wranglers are great off road, but if you expect to use it as a daily driver - you're in for a shockingly terrible ride! And forget the 2-door... I mean, it was a pain on normal highways - but being on the interstate with it --- SCARY! Sometimes being lighter - especially in the LEAST aerodynamic vehicle ever made is not the better option. And then you have trucks like Tacoma TRD Pro and Colorado ZR2 with off road packages that have a decent performance basis (and now the new Ford Ranger FX4) - that can give Wrangler Rubicons a run off road and trail riding... But they also have higher towing capacity and generally better on-road performance and comfort... At a lower price point, mind you than the Rubicon. It begs to ask - is the Rubicon actually worth the higher price point, lower comfort class and under performing as a daily on-road driver? I knew the Wranglers (especially the Rubicons) were a total Niche vehicle - but the new JL's have stepped up the game of Niche - Cliche! lol For what you actually get - "luxury" model tier for the brand is still far under par when comparing to other brands in the same category - but with better overall performance and "luxury", performance and comfort appointments. Again - at lower price points. I just couldn't sign my name to a new contract on a new JL Rubicon - and turned my sights onto the overall more capable mid-size off-road truck options on the market. Sorry Jeep - but you're just a bold statement that's losing ground on actual practical purpose. I will say the new Jeep Gladiator could be an interesting upset to the truck market... Perhaps it will mate bold and practical once and for all! Still - price vs everyday value... That's going to be a doozy to answer, I'm sure.

do you even know what youre doing? air down the freaking tires

So this is nothing but an ad for the new Jeep?

Problem #1: It's too small for larger drivers. I'm 6'-4", my knees hit, my head almost hits. There is no way I would drive this on a daily basis - way way waaaay to cramped. Problem #2: It's way to expensive. Go to Jeep's website, build your own. You can hit $59,000 if you max out the options on a Rubicon. $59,000 for a Jeep product, definite pass. Quality is not Jeeps strongpoint.
