Recipe for Success
The Mini Rubicon is a man-made collection of rock and boulders made to be just this side of passable. You'd think it would be best conquered with a svelte rockcrawler a la Arizona. That actually happened once, except with a longer-than-long Scrambler. A CJ-6, which isn't exactly short and nimble either, did the best one year, following a (suspensionwise) modestly modified CJ-5. A fullsize Blazer (that had never even been subjected to rocks before) won in 1997. Last year, a Scout grabbed First. Is there a sure-fire Mini Rubicon setup? If so, we don't know about it. So far the Mini Rub' hasn't been brand-loyal and certainly doesn't seem to require a trick suspension setup.
