Anybody run the Rubicon yet? Its less than a days drive away from me and I might give it a try next year. What would I need?

Currently have a Sport 2 door on a 2 inch lift and 33s. 12,000 LBS winch, heavy duty rock rails and an EBay steel front bumper. Got a locker for the front sitting in a box and planning on ordering a truss kit this winter. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rear just yet but it's not giving me any issues. I might put a locker in and chrome moly shafts if I can find them.
Trying to keep the weight down but what else might I need?

I’ve been on it twice this year. Skid plates and rock sliders are the main necessities. 35s are nice. I didn’t need lockers, but that could vary depending on situations you get in. Definitely go with experienced Jeepers.

A good spotter. Your Jeep as it sits will run the trail if the driver does his part.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
Looks like you may be used to running trails on just the rear tire(s). You may want to use all four on the Rubicon.
