[edit]7/30/12 Small point, but under the "Trail Summary" section, there is following:
"A short distance beyond Walker Hill is the Soup Bowl. The Soup Bowl is a short climb with a series of ledges that is difficult to climb. High clearance and long wheelbases help with this obstacle."
Isn't the reference to "long wheelbases" incorrect? Wouldn't "short wheelbases" be helpful under such circumstances? 99.51.181.19 (talk) 04:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
there really needs to be something here about the current land use issues. I am just learning of what is going on and I am personally infuriated. They are talking about closing large parts of the Rubicon. Maybe if someone were more knowledgeable on this they could write a nice section about it.

Hi gang,
Chuck here. The new text for the Rubicon Trail page was added by me.

Don't try this with a stock 4x4 is pretty vague. Does Jeep's 'Trail Rated' badge mean a person with average driving skills can traverse this particular trial?
I've done a substantial re-write, to make the article more comply with the standards for wikipedia articles... Unfortunately, I've never actually been on the trail (I'll be abble to afford them lockers one of these days!), so someone who has should do a fact-check on my edits.

It might be worth mentioning that the full Rubicon, including all obstacles is a damaging trail where unmodified 4x4s are likely to suffer significant body damage with serious risk of rollover and even modified vehicles often incur significant body and drive train damage, especially broken exhausts, axles, differentials and UJs. The guided trip for unmodified vehicles takes 3 days and the guide leaves an additional two days free for overcoming any unforeseen issues. Basically people shouldn't be left with the impression that they could turn up at this road and drive through it in an hour or two. Chann94501 23:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
