Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Would be fun to just go see, and take some photos. I've never seen the Rubicon before.

 

Well get in!

 

These are the droids you're looking for.

 

Last time I did it my brother “rode” along.

He walked the whole thing with his GoPro and took video and pics the whole time.

The whole trail is only 10-15 miles long.

In fact walking might be quicker on big weekends. All it takes is one guy to break in the wrong spot and the trail turns into a parking lot.

Especially now that they’ve closed all the by passes and you have to stay within 10ft of trail centerline or risk a hefty ticket

 

Is there accessible camping nearby the trail? I really don't know anything about it besides it's reputation.

 

I have 2 spares that are just sitting in the garage. Also have a somewhat bald 33” KM2 on a steelie if you want that

 

If he passes I am looking for 2 spare 33s to compliment my 4 new 255/80/17 toyos, I carry 2 spares on trips, one under and one on the roof rack. If your 33 km2 is a 285, or a 16", or both - thats fine as i could use it on the rear axle if needed. Right now my spares are 31s. Have a trip planned for after mj's mod day, trying to resolve this pre-trip

 

Yeah all over. It’s all forest service land so dispersed camping is ok.

Just can’t park your vehicle more than 10 feet from the trail. So a lot of people camp at the bigger spots (buck island, Rubicon springs etc) where they can access their vehicles easily.

In the Pirates of the Rubicon heyday a lot of people would walk to the little sluice area and camp. It was a big party pretty much every weekend.

 

I’ll double check shortly but I’m pretty sure all 3 are on 16” Toyota steelies

 

I'm pretty sure he is looking for a 3rd gen trd OR alloy 16"...

 

Ohhhh yeah they’re nothing special lol

 

Wait for him to chime in, but I know that is what he is currently running.

 

I know some of you are good at woodwork. I am.... not. But I can follow directions


I need to design/build a freestanding surfboard rack to hold 7 boards. When they were in the bedroom, I built an ugly as fuck wall rack. Seriously looked like the wood was the branches of the ugly tree. But it never dropped a board or broke... I need to strand them up in my storage unit. They are taking up to much space laying down.


If anyone wants to draw up some plans, I will gladly compensate you with beer and OTPHJs

 

I have a steelie spare, but looking for something a lil nicer to hang on my swingout.

 

I'm 20

 

Look on Pinterest there are tons of pictures

 

@DannyBFresco Hows the 4Runner treating you so far? Hit any trails yet???

 

I'm by no means a qualified Carpenter but I'd be willing to lend a hand if you DIY.

 

im no surfboard expert but couldnt you make something out of PVC to keep them separated but upright? Similar to something like this.

 

Need a navigator?
