    Just 3 tons of fun!!!

    Those trips are posted on the High Sierra Crawlers page, publicly. They're open to anyone who wants to go. We leave no one behind :thumbsup:

    I'd advise against Dusy. Not because I don't think you or your rig is capable... but because Dusy is REALLY tight. I was having problems getting through with just the awning hanging on the side of the tent. I was really close to taking it off at a couple points.

    Rubicon... the way we are doing it, out and back... could make it so if someone wants to run out to Tahoma with us and break off home, or if someone wants to meet up with us at Tahoma and ride back with us on the return trip, that could work.

    I think you've done Slick Rock and Deer (iirc).

    Swamp is a little tight, but I think you'd make it.

    I haven't done Red/Coyote I was fixing broken shit from Dusy when that trip happened this year, so I don't know what those trails offer lol.

    @realsystem what tire size are you on and have you done Slick Rock and Deer Valley with the EarthRoamer Mini?

    31 duratracs on stock rims.
    I didn't try Slick Rock or Deer Valley. I only did Bald Mt two times in different setup(RTT + stock suspension) and a few trails in other areas like Moab(Hell's Revenge, White Rim), a few trails in Death Valley including Goler canyon, also Mojave Rd, Hellroaring Plateau Trail in Montana, Left Hand Collet trail in Utah, Broken Arrow trail in Arizona, etc.

    Yeah, from the video I have seen my trail whale will not make Slick Rock until I am on 35s

    Bald Mt was easy but the last 3/4mi to Brewers Lake was challenging

    You'd make it on 33s I bet. You might need a pull in a couple spots, but you'd make it through Slick Rock and Deer Valley.

    Don't forget I have a DCLB (trail whale) and I'm currently on "32s" 265/75R16. These are 31.7" new and currently worn to down from 18/32 to 14/32 = 31.5" Regear with e-locker in the front and skinny 35s (Kenda 35x10.50R17) will most likely be late summer or early fall this year unless there is a group buy that I can't pass up. Slick Rock can wait and I can continue to improve my driving skills and test my new rear bumper until then. #drivermod is the best mod!

    @CemenTRDgen Sourgrass, Corral Hollow, Lost Lakes we do multiple times a year. We did Sourgrass in December, it was icy but doable, CH and LL need the snow to melt and as 530taco said Foresdale Rd will be interesting to check out after these storms.

    Sourgrass:

    Anyone up or doing for a snow run this weekend, MET or UTC?

    Some fuckery occurred. Then these shenanigans ensued.

    Eventually it ended after the shedding of much blood sweat and sulfurous curses. With a pair of these (camburg spindles).

    Meanwhile, meat got loaded in the chuck wagon

    In retrospect, I should've done this when they first came out and were cheap as hell.

    Also... anybody in Concord or Walnut Creek available Monday to give me a hand pulling my bumper and installing a winch? (Or nearby?)
