Drew Briner of Tahoe City, California, was also along for the trip in his ’05 Rubicon. Okay, so a TJ Rubicon is not a vintage CJ, but hey Drew used to own a ’69 CJ-5 before it was destroyed in a violent rollover. Drew’s Rubicon is fairly stock with a few additions like the 51⁄2-inch Rubicon Express long-arm suspension, 315/75R16 Goodyear MT/Rs, an Advance Adapters RubiCrawler, K&N FIPK, an Extreme Air compressor, and a set of Poison Spyder rockers. Drew, along with John Briggs, were our unofficial guides, since they are relatively local and have run the Rubicon several times. Thanks, guys!
