The prerunner’s first time on the trail

So I did go to the trails in San Bernardino today. Finally.

Three trails actually. First one was 3N29, I forget the name of it. I was a little nervous since the path was narrow but the truck was climbing relatively okay.

The auto LSD did help so it wasn't so bad. Next trail was 3N21 Baldy Mesa Road. That one was pretty rough, skid plate kept making contact and I'm pretty sure that's where I lost my left headlight filler. I had a feeling I was either going to damage or lose something, thankfully the filler was the only thing.

We'll call it a badge of honor for even attempting.

Baldy Mesa was also a wake up call to invest in suspension, the stock tokico shocks just couldn't handle the trail. Last trail (my favorite trail) was Sheep creek. Going through that trail was the longest but also kind of stressful because I had to remember I was going in this solo so no help for me.

It was pretty smooth majority of the way until the last mile left where it was getting really bumpy and really working my shocks. So far, I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely come back again. It definitely gave me the confidence to tackle this trail again even though I'm only 2wd. Although I am going to need to invest in suspension and probably some bump stops too if I want to try baldy mesa again. Everyone was really nice though.

 

Nice, excellent job! 9/10 of offroading is just taking it slow, paying attention, and using your noggin. The trailing in Cali look cool as hell!
