“The Rubicon Trail historically runs from Georgetown, CA to Tahoma,
CA at Lake Tahoe. It started as an Indian trade route, became
a stagecoach route and is currently one of the premier 4-wheel
drive trails in the country. The first vehicle to drive the trail was
1908. Jeeps started regular use of the trail in the ‘50’s soon after
WW II.” quoted from the RTF’s “What is the Rubicon Trail”. In my words, it’s adventure at its purest form.

I have seen hikers, bikers, and almost every imaginable off road vehicle on the Rubicon Trail since 1998 and the G Crew looks forward to seeing your scaler “doin’ work” at the Cantina for the Con fundraiser.

Come get your scale adventure fix, in the Axial Taquitos Grandito RECON G6!

I'm in, I haven't been to the Rubicon since I sold my rig 5 years ago. Is it true you can drive a stock truck through the Rubicon without any problems?

Yes, if you're driving a Toyota!

I think "stock" is French for "road building" or "driver" or "spotter". LOL

[ANoodle]

LOL, of course I'm driving a Toyota. A 11 TRD Tundra

Only if you are going to camp at the Loon Lake Campground. Camping with the G Crew on the slabs is at no charge.
