Project-JK Rodriguez Canyon Jeep Trail : Pandora's Box -- San Diego County, CA

Rodriguez Canyon (sometimes referred to as the Rodriguez Spur Truck Trail) is a Jeep trail that is located in San Diego County, crosses through Anza Borrego State Park and is near the resort town of Banner, CA. Cutting between Chariot and Granite Mountain, Rodriguez Canyon parallels the more well known Oriflamme Canyon Trail and is a part of a network of trails that were established to service the many mines in the Julian area including the Desert Queen and Pandora Mine. While this trail is for the most part very easy and one that can be done in any 4WD SUV, there is a short spur near the Pandora Mine that is very technical and because of it, we affectionately called this section of trail, "Pandora's Box".

In this short video, you will get to see the run we did up Pandora's Box back in September 2010 with our good friends gonegoanna's, TikiJK and Moochie. While our Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon was sitting on an Off Road Evolution long arm kit, coil overs and 40" Toyo MT's, everyone else was just sitting on about 4" of lift, running 35" tires and, even though some strapping and winching was required, they all did just fine. Anyway, I hope you enjoy our video.

Great Video's!

I just spent 2 hours watching a quite a few of your video's.

I just purchased a 2012 Sport.

What would you suggest for Locker upgrades or would it be wise to Invest in Stronger Diffs?

@GerryK61 if you can afford it, i would recommend an ARB in the rear and either leave the front open or, install something like a true-trac

@GerryK61 The Pilgrimage video series is something the dealers should hand out on dvd to get buyers hooked.

I have a 2004 LJ Rubicon but i think the JK is growing on me but will never sell my LJ it is 13" longer than the normal TJ

Dig the wheeling. Whatever you can't go over, you just push out of the way! I always pick the easiest line, and maneuver through the big obstacles.. But when you have big jeeps like that, you don't have to maneuver, just point and shoot!

I want a jk like moby, and a jk like nemo back when he was on ome coils and 35" mtrs
