    Good to know. Nah I've driven on gravel and dirt. Just not any serious rock crawling. I plan to go in the morning or afternoon.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Yeah you'll be fine. Take note of the maps, GPS works up there. Download the map of the area if you can (Google maps will let you do that) especially if you plan to go from Maple Springs to Indian Truck Trail. Just avoid anything that looks ugly pointed straight up. You'll do fine. :)

    Unless you got a real set of tires like BFG's or Goodyear w/ the kevlar.

    Yeah you'll have a good time. Let someone know a "if shit goes really wrong" time to call you and send SAR but otherwise you will have a good time and probably hate the drive home down the 91.

    I'll let you know. It might be hotter than hell by then.

    Right on. Maui is my spot! My wife has a good friend that grew up on west maui. Love surfing the harbor in Lahaina.

    Interesting. This sounds a lot like the Pokerrun @stvstoy and I did back in May?

    I did a solo night run and I have to admit that it is pretty freaky driving in the dark (i.e. just waiting for F'N Jason Voorhees to pop out from the bushes and cut me to pieces... hills have eyes sorta shi*... just watch the video and you'll get an idea of what it is like in the dark as well as give you an idea of what the trail is like).

    This particular video is with a group of guys that I went with on a night run. My OC PEEPS are the BEST!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers::mudding: But yeah, it is all fire road with some fairly loose dirt/gravel in some areas. If you're 2wd, you MIGHT have to get a running start in some of those spots?! Other than that, you can still do the trail in 2wd... well, Maple Springs and Main Divide as well as Indian Truck Trail.

    The video clip is me on a night run:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yem29lOo7E

    Anyways, just like others have said... and I WISH I could go with you guys!!! FAAACK!!! :annoyed:

    Have fun!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::mudding:

    btw, this is the address to the trailhead entrance for those that don't know:
    Maple Springs Road Visitor Center
    31330 Silverado Canyon Rd.
    Silverado, CA 92676
    ph# (951) 736-1811

    MapleSpringsVisitorCenter.jpg

    Here is a map that I found: (Santiago Peak... NOTE: you will be coming from the left-side of the map, that is, from the OC side)
    https://www.google.com/maps/place/S...1c4cd!8m2!3d33.7102973!4d-117.5342131!5m1!1e4

    NOTE:
    you'll be driving through a small town and the roads can get VERY NARROW with LOTS of "blind spots" so PLEASE do NOT drive like a F'N MORON going through as people DO walk their dogs and such... I care more so for the DOGS themselves... so don't HIT the F'N dog(s)!!!

    LMAO!!! :laughing::laugh::rofl: What's up bro!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers:

    How do you like the new map on WR? I wish I they came out with more maps. Also, did you know that you SHOULD be able to choose your own map soon as well as choose a map just to TEST your bot out with or one-on-one or something like that.

    Saving up for a Taran because I need a weapon like that for more "punch" and especially close range. :annoyed:

    Finally, NOT winning SHI* from the stupid chest thing they got going on just like the tokens!!! :annoyed::rant: Although, I did win the Gareth, but that was it?! Everything else was always CRAP!!! :bananadead:
