The Last Minute Wheel Trip Thread !!!!

Title says it all. Whenever you have a random wheelin trip thats pretty much a last minute type of deal post up on this thread and see if some fellow members would like to tag along with ya. No threads like this,so here is one for us norcal guys!

 

next weekend, few Mariposa guys are going up to Signal Peak forest service lookout tower, to bbq, shoot trap, you gotta do sum wheelin to get there. nothing extreme, few hillclimbs along the way as options, theres a mellow way up, room to haul ass here and there. very scenic if you've never really been up in Sierra National Forest near Yosemite, very pretty.....chciks dig it if ya kno what im sayin. theres another lookout in the same forest, little different area that you gotta do sum four wheeling to get to and that is also a very scenic spot, both are fun, anyway if anyone is interested pm me. also, ill be stretching the legs on my rear suspension 12" kings

 

Those 12 " kings are gonna ride like butter my friend. I need to get mine asap. Sounds like a hell of a time. If not working next weekend ill definitely go I might be on standby. If im not ill most likely bring some company

 

im really into like solid all around wheelin capability, and the haulin ass offroad aspect, so far is the most brutal on trucks, so im hoping these things help out what im lookin for within reason of course

 

My buddy has the extended c/o king shocks with 14s in the rear hands down they are the best shocks I have ever experienced. Everyone that has kings has no complaints. Im sure youll love em King shocks FTW

 

Are you taking the trail or fire road up? Did the trail yesterday, it's pretty rutted out in a few spots but nothing too bad. I did it with an open rear end but hit sliders and has tank skid a few times. I'll actually be night wheeling up there next weekend then my buddy's doing fordyce the next day.

 

probably fireroading it for the most part, which trail are you starting from to get to signal? are we talking about the same lookout? this one is actually manned by a friend of mine.

 

It was the eagle lake exit, we took that up and took the fire road down. There was an old stone shack but it was unmanned. Used to be a fire lookout.

 

This is what the top looked like, kind of...

 

Looks like fun !!! Ill have to check it out sometime

 

Signal peak

 

That's a rad looking spot, but not the spot I'm talking about lol

 

So is there truck trails here or no ?

 

Yea, nothin crazy tho, mostly fire roads up a mountain, with sum trail options on the way up

 

There must be a dozen "Signal Peaks" in the west. I think Basikbiker is talking about one down near Yosemite.

The wife and I were just up on the one near Cisco Grove on Sunday, taking the 'hard-way' . Made it up OK, pretty fun, but it was a bit of a challenge on 31's and a long wheelbase. Great 270-degree views on top, even a little snow.

 

Goin wheelin friday mornin to either la grange ohv or frank raines if anyone wants to join

 

During a work day?

 

Maybe we could make this into a google calendar. That way we can add it to our phones and always see what's up this weekend.

 

Yes please.

 

I work 4 10s monday thru thursday so I have every friday thru sunday off which is nice
