Aldo takes a break from singing and drives the Rubicon Trail, a tough off-road Jeeping trail in California. This trip was a training expedition in expert-level off-road driving techniques. You won’t see a rollover because the training taught how to avoid one. Enjoy the adventure and learn a few things about Jeep driving along the way.

The worst part is Old Sluice Box. It can only be driven with a heavily modified and very high clearance rig. There is a bypass, though. The biggest problem with The Rubicon is that it is not well marked, so you can easily get off-trail without a guide or a track-log from someone that has driven it. You might find a tracklog online. Unfortunately, my GPS overwrote my tracklog before I could download it to my PC.

I keep it in 4-wheel low to take advantage of gearing power going up and engine braking coming down. The Jeep I used on the Rubicon was an automatic, so engine braking wasn’t as good as with a manual, so I had to also use the brakes when going down slopes.
