This trail is pre-runner friendly and also has some short side trails so the 4x4s can still have a little fun...


some things worth bringing:
Gas, Tow or Recovery Straps, mini air compressor, tire repair kit, walkie talkies or CB, food and drinks

There will be a few stops along the trail so we can take driving breaks, pictures, hang out, etc...

Also...In order to better organize this trail run, please let us know if your truck is a 4x4 or Prerunner. Be sure to also post what rear diff you are running. (Open, LSD, Locked)

Pics from a recent ttora run. Thats some of the hardcore stuff. Like stated above, there is a nice trail that runs along all of that for the ones that want to baby their truck.

 

Cleghorn is easily accessible with 2WD but it's the bypasses that make this trail fun. the bypasses always meet up on the main road and range from easy in difficulty to more moderate in difficulty. a rear LSD at the minimum and 4WD highly recommended for the bypasses. this is a great trail for beginners!

some teaser pics from some of our past Cleghorn runs..

 

FUCK i want to go! but i dont have everything you all have! :[ just a a reg double cab prerunner 4 dr 2.7 cl . no rear lsd or 4x4 :[

 

there is still a large portion of the fire road that you can do..i have seen miatas and civics on the main road

 

just come. Trust me there will be cool spots where you can test your truck. I dont have 4x4 either. Plus one of us can always pull you out.

 

i wanna go but i wouldnt want anything bad happen to my baby its to beutiful rite now lol but fuck it ill see if dont have plans!

 

all you gotta do is stay on the trail. Im sure lots of people will be doing the same

 

have you been up there?

 

yea. Three times with my tacoma. Its only like 10-15 minutes from me. Its one of my favorites.

 

where is it at? sierra is like 10 min away from me! well if your taco can do it my taco better lol

 

Its like 5 minutes north on the 15 fwy past sierra. We will just be meeting up there. It has its own exit (cleghorn). See i have a locker though and you dont But honestly you shouldnt do any of the moderate bypasses because you could scratch your truck or rims. But there is mild stuff too.

 

its not that far then! dont rub it in haha. yeah thats why i dont wanna go if my rims are at risk! hmmm how about if i go leave my truck at a safe spot and i call shot gun and ride with you =)

 

If i were closer i'd join - these meets are great!

 

haha. You can do that if you want. If you really want to you can leave it at my pad.

I will buy a gallon of gas for you
Thats like a guaranteed 20 miles!

 

jdkeller, you are convincing lol. ill try! like ive said to you before. only a few trails here in riverside that i can do. but i never been there so ill try. at least there will be other people there in case anything happens. i go on the riverside trails by myself. dangerous! but yeh. do you have a map? :]

 

Ooo.. that just might do it!! How did you know my gas millage??
