@downhillbik3r
Hey man these people here should be pretty helpfull On those questions you had about bald mtn. And such.

 

Thank you!

I am heading up to the shaver lake area for 4 days.Are there any suggestions on trails to hit? I have a 4x4 Tacoma with 32's, kings, sliders, skids.
So far the plan is Bald Mtn, Brewer Lake and strawberry Lake.

Any info regarding the area would be appreciated. Thanks

 

As far as trails goes, you've chosen the right and good beginner trails to run.

Strawberry and Bald Mt. can be made in a stock 4x4 open diff rig, if taken the easy bypass routes.

Brewer should be the more difficult ones of the three, and shouldn't be challenging to your setup at all what so ever, but it'll test your belly pan skid plates quite a bit for the last 150yds of the trail.

Here's a map.

@Bchengy Thanks for the info. Got a copy of that map printed out and ready to go.

Any notable hiking destinations?

 

Thanks 559 guys^

 

It seems that there's a lot of riding out there for dirt bikes and such what does it mean by seasonal operation is that the red and green sticker thing with dirt bikes or can you ride you around up here on these trails with a red sticker bike?

 

Seasonal operation= too much snow to go there?

 

As far as my knowledge goes, green stickers are year round use, but not street legal, and dirt only, as far as red stickers, it is up to the jurisdiction of the trail condition and or requirements to ride during each individual season.

Your better off getting a dual sport and run it all year round and on the street to the next trail.

 

Red and green stickers are issued to vehicles or equipment that doesn't meet the standard California smog state standards but clean enough to run for shorter periods AKA on certain trails only. Green is exempt from requirements of seasonal trails but can only be run on non paved roads all year round.

 

Would be the only reason to go dual.
Ill stick to my mx style. Dual is to heavy for my liking.

 

grew up in the 559

Three rivers CA

no one likes Tacoma's around there... its all chevy's and GMC....

live in Los Angles for now

 

theres places in the sequoias to if you dont want to drive to far... shit i ride my 450 down the 198 a lot...

 

More than that for me. I have a 6 speed, but dual cases is on my list of things to do but it's after 35s, gears, arb front locker, and on board air.

 

We're on different routes up to the same place. Lol.
I'm on 35s, got on board air, just need arb air lockers, gears, and so on up to my sas stage.

 

Dual isn't too bad, I stick with the 250s and 350s.

 

Hawaii is tacoma heaven I hear. 559 has a fair amount of tacos, most people build older rigs though.

 

no offense to anyone to each there own .... but most tacos in the 559 area around me are chromed out to the balls sitting on 30" rims and you cry when it drives by and it has 4x4 mud flaps i feel like i get snubbed for driving a Tacoma in visalia

 

Really? I live in Visalia and I've never seen any "chromed out Tacomas" anywhere and I'm everywhere in Visalia....

 

Ahh new found friends^
