The Story Behind The Rubicon Trail l On The Trail

Traveled by vehicles for over a century, the Rubicon trail is more challenging now than ever. If you’re looking to tackle the trail for yourself, we cover the basics of what to expect and how to plan with one of today’s leading Rubicon experts, Bob Sweeney, President of Jeepers Jamboree.

Bob, along with veteran off-road journalists Ali Mansour and Harry Wagner, drive the trail to show you what to expect. These three drive their Jeep TJ, Jeep Gladiator and Jeep LJ and share their expert tips and insights for overloading the Rubicon Trail for your first time or your fifth.
