Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

Sounds like it could be a nice quick get together haha

 

Well, i've left #TeamTaco, but I'm still down for some fool-size friendly trips in my new whip

 

You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

 

Congrats! What are the planned mods?

 

Don't follow me, you won't make it

Accutune already sent me the $9k quote for the full upgrade package haha. For now, not too much. Maybe a couple lights (Already has a locker, so no #LightbarsBeforeLockers) and exhaust, then a few suspension mods/maintenance. It feels like driving a marshmallow right now.

 

Did you sell/trade in your other truck already?

 

I'm going to be out of town for xmas through the end of next week but maybe at the beginning of the new year we can plan a trip up there with a few of us. It's really just a fire road but it is pretty scenic with some good spots to pull over and hang out, have a beer/eat lunch, take some photos etc. Maybe by then they'll have the full 25 miles of the trail opened back up and not just the first 10

 

Sounds like a good time I’m definitely inn

 

Yeah, finally. Took like 2-3 months. Some dude flew down from Redding and drove it home, to soon drive it to his place in Cabo haha

 

Is this road a 1 way trip? Where does it exit ? 25 miles, I’m thinking out by Lytle Creek ? Or is it a big loop?

 

It goes the other way, starts right by the Azusa OHV park and goes up into the San Gabriels then heads north toward the Santa Clarita valley. I think it dumps out somewhere around there, there are more fire roads back there too that eventually lead into the SCV. Used to romp around those all the time when I was younger maybe 15 years ago but a lot of those roads are gated off now, so I'm not entirely sure were the Rincon dumps out or if you have to go back through the same entrance.

Right now since only the first 10 miles are open you have to turn back and go out the way you came in

 

I seem to remember a trail that run from Glendora to Lytle Creek. But that was 30 years ago. Memory is not as good as it use to be. Does anyone know if there is such a trail , fire road?

 

Its supposed to dump out to Angeles crest highway but I dont think it has done so in a long time

 

I can't find a map with both Lytle Creek and the Rincon on it so I drew my own, lol. Rincon Trail is in red

It looks like the Rincon eventually dumps out on the 2 highway near Mt. Wilson actually



I know there used to be more fire roads that connected it from the SCV many years ago...shame that they gated them all off but people probably left too much trash up there + the fire hazard I guess

 

Sounds sketch...lol but congrats on the new power couch! Im sure you'll build it proper

 

This true. I do remember a lot of trash up there. I can remember just going up into Azusa Canyon and it being clean. Watched over the years more and more trash on the roadside.

 

I am in

 

merry christmas.. truck is ready for battle

 

shit..... im off on sundays too but my wife works.. what time is everyone meeting up?

 

It says they are all meeting in the staging area at 9am
