When you talk about rig requirements for trail runs( need 35s and a locker etc.) is that just a baseline to give an idea what to expect? What I mean is, a mega cab dodge on 35s isnt gonna get around as easy as a cj-2a on 35s. I guess u could call it tire to rig ratio or something. Haha
I’ve got an urge to build an old willys rig and wondered if I would be ok with smaller tires since the wheelbase and width is so small.

Love the show, and ranch on my pizza

Hey guys,
I’m enjoying the new podcast, but I have mixed emotions about Greg finally lifting his rig. Part of me enjoyed listening to him agonize about which lift kit to go with. But I guess it is for the best. Now we will get to hear some more wheeling adventure stories because there won’t be any excuses why he won’t take his Jeep out on the trail! 🙂

I have a question for you. I live in AZ and my brother is in southern California. One of our goals is to run the Rubicon in the next year or two. The problem is that my brother has a stock mid 2000’s 4runner 4×4 with a V8. What are the minimum modifications he would need to do to have a “pleasant” experience on the con? I have a TJ Rubicon on 35s, with skids, a winch, and a cage, so I’m assuming I’d be ok.
