I would like to make it out to the Rubicon some day, every chance I have had to go has been washed because of work. 
This is a solid 5 trail! The boulders start at about 1 1/2 feet and go up to 6 or 7 feet. The trail isn't impassable since the floods, but it moved around a lot of big rocks changing the trail quit a bit. I made it on the spring run down there ( I guess the one that WJ ZUK missed) and it was a d@mn tough trail. Have some tube damage too. Buddy of mine broke his rear Dana 44, had to leave it overnight while he drove home (Morgan) to get spare shafts he didn't bring and fixed it the next day. Sherrifs came by on ATV's to make sure the Rig was his, that he wasn't stripping someone elses you know, and told him that the trail was on BLM land and they (BLM) would ticket him for being there if they caught him. That is something we should look into if anyone here wants to plan a return trip. He said the Sherrifs were cool and they went on their way with nothing more said.
My advice, If you want to run this trail, This is what you should concider the minimum:
36" tires
2 lockers
Beadlocks
LOTS of skip plates
60's or better front and rear or 44 w/ Chromes
Winch
All your spare parts
Vehicle with lights
no less than 3 or 4 rigs, for towing reasons
FIRST AID kit
extra food and water
The trail is a rock garden, 3 and 1/2 miles long and took us 7 hours to get through. I will dig up some pics if I can find them.

The rims were almost new before this trail, nearly all the damage was done there. I can't find the rest of the trail pics, I will keep looking.

How difficult is Ash Creek? Maybe it can be done while we are down for the winter convention; cruise over, run it, then go back to Moab. I should be in town Tuesday evening and will be there until Monday morning...
