Well we planed on taking our time and doing it in three days. We ended up doing it in two.
Our video cameras ran out of battery..... So, we didn't get the last third of the trip.....
Some people just go straight through in one day. Some people go half way and then camp for 5 days before driving through the rest. It really just depends how long you want to be away from running water and a bathroom. haha

Runnin water and bathrooms are overated haha. If it was me I would shoot for 2-3 days that way you get to actually see what your drivin through and that way you're not pressed for time.
Watching those videos make me so jellous. I want to go so bad! I'm so close to being finished it killing me. I'm definitely making a trip out there once the bugs are worked out! Btw thanks for the tips on my build!

Truck looks really good!!
I really wouldn't mind going to Rubicon one of these days, but I am really hesitant since I haven't really talked to anyone in person who has done it. I am kind of curious as to whether or not I could do it with the way my truck is now...
Where are you located? Are you in California?

Thanks a lot!
I think you could make it just fine, if you got rid of your anti sway bar, added some rock sliders, and welded your spider gears up front. You do need some form of a locker though. If you watched my videos. My buddy in that blue jeep was open front and rear. Every time we got to a harder obstacle like all of Cadillac hill (which we don't have video of
), I had to get through it and then winch him through..... The only thing about it is, take your time, and don't let your tires spin. If they are spinning than stop and pick a different line. I saw to many people in front of me braking crap b/c they tried powering through it. That is when you break crap....
I am up in Medford, OR.

This is a way cool build thread!
I am new to this form, the first thread I clicked on was the TOTM, I saw your truck so I voted for you.
I want to build my truck kinda like yours, but I think I want to use a dana 30 out of a jeep. I want to see more pictures of your tube doors too!!!!
