If she is worried about it, go with the easy group the first day. You will be able to determine what you want to do after that. Most times you start easy then want to challenge yourself and the Jeep.

My goal everytime I lead a trail is to get people through things without damage. Sure sometimes you get a little damage, but its part of the sport. I enjoy helping people through things, its part of wheeling and it makes the day interesting!

Since that is the main day when most people are going to be there I would think there will groups for all levels. With a stock Rubi unlimited you would be good on Green & Blues trails, your biggest hinderence will be your breakover angle with 32's and no lift. There are a few spots you could end up in a prediciment like this.

I was actually kidding.


This is my better half's first real time offroad, and that is 100% the reason I am going, so she gets her toes dirty.

So, that being the case, I might not get my keys back at all, or depending on how it goes for her, i might find them stuffed up my... well, nevermind.


(and, It is my Jeep dammit, no matter what she tells you!)

Is anyone wheeling solo and hitting anything crazy on Sunday? I would like to find a right seat in someones rig who is going to play on some of the big boys trails. I'm a pretty decent photogapher and would like to get some sick pictures while on this trip. I can promise great pix of you and your rig! Thanks!

I believe there is a two rig minimum as per Rausch's rules.
