    On that note for Saturday (Signal Hill), is everyone doing the easy way up or the hard way? TTORA mentions a hard way and easy way, but only lists directions for the easy way. And it is easy. I remember going up there in the '80s in a GMC Jimmy (the little one) that was all stock. In which case, Steven, you should have no problems on this day. I might join up on Saturday for the day too. I'll see as things get closer.

    Since the link didn't mention it, which way is the hard way?:confused: Is it even a road? Maybe everyone should split into two groups, one going the easy way and one going the hard way, and race to the top.:burnrubber:

    This is from the eagle lakes staging area..........

    There is a staging area with restrooms right near the beginning of the trail. The trailhead facing the restrooms is the hard way up Signal Peak

    I love that the easy way up looks so much harder then other way. The hard way starts all flat and looks like a fire road and the easy way starts off all rocky and shit. I think a Prerunner could make it further on the hard road if your measuring the distance before before the truck gets stuck.

    Dang, I sure wish I had skids and sliders. But noooo...I needed (and still do:() the LB for hauling stuff! Dang, the hard way looks fun. Maybe in another life...or maybe someday after my daughter is older and moves out we'll get a TRD OR Access Cab since I won't need a DC then. Now I'm already dreaming of all the room I'll have in the garage with the shorter truck.:rolleyes:

    I'm gonna say no. You may be able to simply cruise the fire roads, but on the actual trails you gotta ride with someone.
