Default Paper Plate Wheeling...

Who's done it? I want to see some paper plate wheeling pics!! I broke my Jeep in at the Tierra Del Sol 2013, and had a blast doing it. I can only imagine what a Rubicon is like, because nothing stopped my little wrangler sport. I was really happy that I wasn't stalling with 4lo-- I could just set it and forget it. My biggest worry was ruining my clutch, but after a few trails, I just couldn't wait to tackle more and more challenging obstacles.

Sway bar connected, 40 psi stock tires on 16s, 6 speed, paper plates. Bring it on!

I took my Rubi up in the Sierras a couple times right after i got it. Once south of Tahoe around Barney Riley, and couple times up near Gold Lake to play in the snow. I felt unstoppable too, plowing through 2-3feet of powder....until I met my match in a stretch that had been out in the sun melting and refreezing. Only pic i have saved on this computer is:

I took my 09 Rubicon to Katemcy Rocks when it was two weeks old. Lifted on 35's and drove it like it was paid for. Had a 07 sahara, with that lift and tires, so knew how the jeep would handle.

This is the night before Gulchfest last year putting the lift on and then the next day wheeling it. Had maybe a few hundred miles on the clock at this point.

Absolutely...

The first pic is 2-3 days after I bought it, the second is after the lift, tires, and bumper were put on at 800 miles, and the last two were taken last weekend - less than a yet old and 10k miles
