That's all i have, waiting to see Davids pics.

 

Man, i wish i would have gone.

Anybody planning on hitting up this area tomorrow?

 

^Some of the SoCal FJ guys are planning to run cleghorn tomorrow as a snow run!

 

lol at all the "snow at 1,500 feet" bullshit. All media hype.



However, the snow level was at a more reasonable 3,000 feet as I was coming down the mountain from Big Bear, which is still pretty low. Looked all nice and purty.

 

I saw a little fall, but nothing is sticking.

 

Josh, very cool video... I rarely get to see my own truck 'in action'!

It was a pleasure to meet you and your son today... The SoCalTacoma people are all great!

James.. dude, we tried right? Next Tacoma: 4WD (and an Off Road at that!)

Okay... here a a few of the photos my son and I took today...

That freeway blockage only lasted a short time.. 2 semis lost traction and it took awhile for cars to get around them... Just 3 miles from the Pine Valley exit.

After we said 'bye' to Josh, we drove up to Mt. Laguna (4WD or chains only) and found snow over a foot deep... at 6,000 ft. and temp. was down to 26ºF.

On the way home, the snow level was down to 3,500 ft.... just above Alpine... It was the most snow I have ever been in in San Diego County, I believe.


I-8


Trail start, Pine Valley exit, south.


James getting winched out by friendly four wheeler.


Sweet!


Tacoma 4WD Country!


Never Fails Me!




The only others on the trail besides us Tacomas (after the Blazer and Wagoneer) were these guys on 3 wheelers.


I love this truck!


Here's Josh!


My son and I!









We headed up to Mt. Laguna...



Filled up the bed with snow (traction aid if you are 2WD), for fun later.



Coming back down towards Pine Valley.



The Sunrise Hwy. exit off I-8 where only 4WD or cars with chains on could get through!

Thanks again Josh, good four wheeling partner!

You guys mised some good stuff today, but at least we could share a bit of it with you!

 

so you can go up to mount laguna with only 4WD or do you need chains also?

 

lol. As I said bullshit about the 1,000 foot snow level, it starts micro hailing here in RB. It looks like a dusting of snow.

 

lol.

Then this was about 45 minutes ago in my driveway. Super light hail that looked like snow! There was about a 1/4" of this stuff all over the road and driveway and all the cars. Pretty sick.

 

CHP asks: "Chains or 4WD?"... I say "4WD" and we are waved in... I don't have chains... don't need them... tires worked great.

 

Oooo yeah we were leaving and the cops locked the gate, good thing they were standing there still. they were handing out tickets to the 3 wheelers,could have sucked if they left.http://www.socalultimate4x4.com/index.php/topic,4227.msg40612.html#msg40612
these are the guys that pulled James out of the rut, james was stuck like 100feet from the gate.
Hey david looks like they locked the gate right after we went in, read the post.

 

Drove all over Mt. Laguna today. The wife and I had a blast!

 

Thanks for the link to that post on SCUFF, Josh! I joined that forum so I could thank Chad and post the photo I took of him winching James out.

 

cool i thought about it but didn't and plus you have the pic. pretty cool set of guys.

 

Hey, so where is the rest of the gang? Doug... did you get your front suspention mod done?

 

Do you live in Poway (or in RB or that area)? Or are you there frequently? You've got New Mexico plates right?

 

Yeah i live in Rancho Penasquitos, right next to poway. So yeah trying to get Cali plates, spent like 12 hours at the dmv getting my driver lic and paper work for the plates(really four trips with each one being 3-4 hours). gotta smog, and weigh the truck before i get the plates.

 

Ah ok. I have seen your truck a few times over here.


I live in RB.

 

Here is a look at San Diego's mountains (Laguna Mountain) as seen from Santee and El Cajon the day after we played in it!

 

Ironic, I saw you later that night on Carmel Mountain Rd.
