What time is everyone planning to be to the trail head on loon side?
I've done the trail many times in a 4x4 and never needed extra fuel. Should I consider carrying extra fuel for my 900xp? I had to bum fuel @ the Shasta Chappie 100+ mile ride so I figured I better check.
Airbus (Ben and Carrie) and me and my wife will be there by 8:00 on Friday night. I don't know who else will be there at night yet.Quote:

Last time we went, I used 3 bars out of 8 on my fuel gauge for the whole weekend. I definitely won't be bringing any extra.Quote:

Ok awesome, that should be when we get in as well. People keep backing out from the little group that was coming up with me so might just be my rzr going now. Can't wait!Quote:

Auburn is a long way out of your way Scott, 50 to Ice house rd, is the bestQuote:

**RUBICON SET UP**
This is how I set up our RZR up for the Rocks. This being my 4th trip through the Con with a 4-seat RZR. It works very well.
1- Pull/ disconnect ALL Sway Bars

2- Adjust Preload (lower upper spring collar) to raise RZR. I adjusted front shocks down 2.25" and Rear down 2.75" http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...dcd5ef7e1e.jpg
This raised the RZR 4.5" in the front & 4" in the rear
3- Pull all Fenders (many times they will catch on the bottom and rip the mounts out)
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...49f2f31dbe.jpg
4- Tighten up your Compression on your shocks to ALL the way hard (to the right) This helps big time when your tire goes over a large rock the RZR won't drop down fast after you go over it.

***Directions to the trailhead / Staging area***
Start the Rubicon at Loon Lake, Take the Ice House Road \Crystal Basin exit off Hwy 50 about 20 miles east of Placerville. Follow Icehouse Road for approximately 28 miles until you hit the Loon Lake road which goes to the right. Follow it about another 4 miles until you cross the second Loon Lake dam, which puts you at what is called the spillway. You are now at the start of the Rubicon. See you there[emoji1360]
