2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

There is plenty of stuff 2wd capable in big bear, just not sure on winter conditions on the back roads. Idyllwild, bee canyon is clear.
Black mountain loop is where that ice sheet was. It's a loop, going down was easy, getting back up took a few attempts.
I would stick to lower elevations, maybe pilot rock or the bee canyon area.

 

I was at big bear 31st to the 3rd, main roads are open and clear no ice but wouldn’t go wheeling you’ll get stuck. I made it all the way to the house we rented and got stuck in front and couldn’t go into driveway lol had to put on chains for 50 ft

 

^^^^^ this.

For all my 2wd brothers lol

 

They just did Bee Canyon a few weeks ago. Same guy planning it lol

 

Yup... I don't see a problem.. last one was a day run. This new one is a night run.

 

I really gotta get out there and meet some of you folks.

 

How was it?! You must of gone right?

 

It was ok. Had some fun, met some people, got stuck, damaged the truck. Only thing that would have made it perfect, would've been camping for the night.

 

No I didn't go but I've done Bee Canyon (being the closest to me) just not a trail I'd want to do after I just did it

 

This thread hasn't been updated in awhile. I guess 2wd tacos stayed in this spring desert camping season? Heading up to big bear with the family in a few days. Might find a few dirt trails explore

 

How many of you have sliders? I picked some up here in the marketplace for $600. Getting them on next week! Don't plan on rock crawling but you just never know when you'll need them. Plus I now have a step up to the roof rack





Test fit. Need to drill a few holes

 

Gotta have them. They get mostly used in the parking lot to prevent door dings.

 

Yes that too! The hockey rink parking lot is tiny and has lots of figure skater moms

 

If you are going to play in the dirt or park at mall, then they are a necessity.

 

em i allowed to still post in this thread or is one shun since converting to the 4x4 religion...?

 

Its still a open forum/thread.

 

Yes you're welcome LOL. how did the conversion go? Wanna do it to my 06 but the most I've changed is oil and spark plugs

 

pretty easy as i am not mechanically inclined but i read about 15 threads on here and other sites to make sure i did it correctly.
(easiest part was the front end components those literally bolt in)

the hardest part was placing the t-case into place and figuring out and making a new cross member to hold the transmission again to the frame
