Stock 2013 Rubicon. I am not a serious off roader, meaning I want to drive there and home ;-). So far the capability have exceeded what I am willing to try.

I don't have a Rubicon... but I grew up ON the Rubicon. (it being about a half hour drive or so from where I live now)

I used to make the trip once or twice a year to do the full trail from Wentworth Springs on up.

My trail rig for most of those years was a '67 Nissan Patrol. When the poor thing had about 400,000 miles on it, it started to break stuff every time I went on the Rubicon so I retired it.

Now I have (a little too big for the Rubicon) a '92 Bronco. A 351 Lightning engine with 7psi supercharger and Jacobs ignition; 6 inch skyjacker lift with 35's and quad ranchos at the axles; 4:56 gears with Detroit locker in the rear and a powerlok up front; Ruenel extreme duty bumper with 12k hydraulic winch; custom drive shafts. 12 mpg and 14.5 in the 1/4 mile.

I used to be into trail running a bit when I was in college but sold my project truck a few years ago. Maybe once I reach a good place with my current expensive hobbies (rifles and suppressors), I'll pick up another project truck.
