Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

The faq asks if a Toyota can go.

 

well screw those guys then

Not sure about the Garden of Eden trail, I've never even heard of that one before...is it up at the top of Big Bear or at the bottom?

 

lol fuckin Jeep guys think a Jeep is the only thing that can go off-road.

We did Cleghorn once, and my Father in Law brought his Land Cruiser, we were parked at the end just talkin, and a guy in a stock Jeep Wrangler came by, and asked what was up the road. FIL replied something about the trail, and the Jeep guys responded, "well if that thing (motioning to the LC) made it through, we'll be good."

 

Thats messed up. I always welcome whoever is on the trail. Some guys can be jerks but goes with any sport. Jeeps are cool. Just toyotas are better is all no need tp get all bent about it.

 

Not sure i been trying to find it. Heard it was by dishpan and thats going to be the first trail we do so hate to miss it. But I honestly have no clue about the area so it's only possible if I get directions.

 

From the little research I have done it says that It is also known as Jimber Trail but it is an unmarked trail off of Rattlesnake Canyon near Motino Wash. someone said "if you don't go there with someone that has been there it would be very difficult to find."

 

Yea, I hate gatekeepers. Just let everyone have their fun, as long as they're not hurting anyone or the environment.

 

I know of Dishpan, I believe that's toward the bottom between Big Bear and Lake Arrowead mountain

 

Shows what they know lol, Toyota has purposefully overbuilt Landcruisers since their inception to last forever and tackle just about anything.

I could understand arguing Jeeps versus Tacomas, Jeeps are built to wheel better 'out of the box' than Tacomas are. Jeeps are built to wheel, but suck at just about everything else. Tacos are built to do a bit of everything and do a good job at all of it.

And if we're talking reliability, Heeps don't hold a candle to any Toyota

 

yea, exactly. It just seems in line with my experience with Jeep guys, that think Jeep has some kind on monopoly on Off-Roading.

 

Yeah that area, Dishpan/Motino Wash is full of trails I don't have the balls to try yet lol.

 

Yea i was hoping someone knew but its cool the rain may make it too sketchy. But I'll be in the area with tools and welder so if you guys get in a pinch holler at me. Plan is dishpan holcolmb Saturday then gold mountain John bull or something new Sunday .

 

Appreciate it, hopefully nothing happens that requires a welder lol but it's good to know it's there. There's a 27% chance I might bust a CV axle but I always come prepared to deal with one of those

 

Knowingthere is a Jeep club going up there makes me want to go start trouble even more.

Not trying to be “that guy,” but have you done any of the trails you just listed?

Looking at your avatar you are lacking all of the armor that you should have to try them in a 2nd gen Taco. Or are you taking a different vehicle?

 

got room for 2 more newbies to come?

 

Is everyone meeting up at 9am in big bear?

 

I’m down but probably won’t make it until 10-11am

 

Its cool bud yeah ive done all but dishpan and its definately with my other vehicle (85 pickup). My poor tacoma has been beaten enough.

 

Yeah we're meeting at 9am for white mountain or if any others wnt to do a different trail they're welcome to, gotta get on the trail no later than 930 945 to try and get ahead of the big Jeep event happening that day

 

is it whoever shows up or still limited like in first post?
