    Rowher Flats is a great OHV park with a variety of trails ranging from 4x4 difficult to 2wd friendly. If 2wd, just be sure to avoid the actual Rowher Trail and the Lookout trail. They're both marked and easy to spot.

    Also, Cleghorn is a nice and easy trek in 2wd if you stay on the main fire road, some of the off-shoots can be 2wd friendly. But others can get really difficult real quick, and they aren't marked at Cleghorn like they are at Rowher so it's good to stop and take a look before you give it a shot. And never wheel alone in unfamiliar territory, especially if you're 2wd and unlocked...

    We will probably be doing Alamo Mountain loop behind Hungry Valley this Saturday afternoon if anyone is interested in meeting up. It should be 2 wheel friendly. Its 40 miles round trip but mostly dirt road and a short section of shitty paved road...

    spent three days in big bear and my neighbor took us on some nice fire roads that our prerunners made without issue. We did the 1N09 to bear creek and back to Seven Oaks. And also the 1N02 down to Coon Creek Cabin. Both were very scenic with some amazing views. I'll put some photos up tonight.

    Did you ever confirm what trail you ran in Big Bear? I'd be interested.

    photos from the trails I mentioned earlier. We had a good crew. Mine is the silver dclb and my buddy in the 2nd gen dark blue led the way. The 2016 was a rookie with street tires. These were fun fire roads with no real challenges, but great views. spent three days in big bear and my neighbor took us on some nice fire roads that our prerunners made without issue. We did the 1N09 to bear creek and back to Seven Oaks. And also the 1N02 down to Coon Creek Cabin. 6tag_190716-113553.jpg 6tag_170716-073950.jpg 6tag_240716-100322.jpg 6tag_170716-095358.jpg WP_20160716_14_50_54_Rich_LI.jpg WP_20160716_13_32_59_Rich_LI.jpg WP_20160716_16_00_30_Rich_LI.jpg WP_20160716_13_07_48_Rich_LI.jpg WP_20160716_14_26_29_Rich_LI.jpg

    Donno. :notsure: They're just bolted straight to the bumper. I didn't install them they were on the truck when I bought it used. They're not even hooked up to the switch.

    ahh okay, because at least on my 03 there's only certain spots where I can mount lights on the bumper because of the metal underneath

    tons up there man. I've done a lot of the trails in my prerunner the past few weeks. Check out Holcomb Valley and the Gold Fever Trail for some cool scenic stuff.
