Idyllwild Camping Trip April 14-16

If there's room you're welcome to follow me in, leaving SD around 6-7, be in idyllwild around 9ish.

 

It's a tad far could use the 50 bucks I would use for gas towards the tires. Found a set down there in the oc for 250. Got 2k miles on them and came off of an OR. right price and beat what I got. I will make it out the eventually. Looking for beginner trails.

 

That's my eta-ish too. Leaving hacienda heights around 6:30-7pm and google maps say 1.5 hour drive, probably worse on Friday.

Let's caravan at the meet spot to the campground? Would the meet spot be what Greg posted earlier?

47810 Bee Canyon Truck Trail, Hemet, CA 92544

 

I have 3 brand new P rated Duratracs and 2 Duratracs in 265/65/17 if you're interested. 500 bucks. If you're not too hard on tires they will work. Only an option. They are p rated but used them on trails like burns canyon:

 

Thats the trail head. Boom. You're taken care of, Kalvin!

Edit: but they're coming from SD

 

Thanks for the offer. I am running on 16's though

 

No problemo. My next set will be 255/85/16. Moar sidewall! Lol

 

I got lots of time to hang with you all and wheel just need to the truck somewhat capable first. Got lucky in JT I think. Should have had at least one flat as hard as it got wheeled in those lava fields

 

If I just follow that trail, should lead me to campground? Haha

 

We're driving up from SD but could meet you at the trail head

 

Yes-ish. There's actually a trail I wanna try that's not the usual way of getting to the site or Idyllwild true.

 

You don't have the coords for the campground? I think I should be able
To find it if you shot me the directions haha

 

If you shoot up the trail, go until you find a big water crossing with a sign that says not to go through the big fun puddle, drive a little further and it'll be on the right.

 

I see me

 

It's a good thing I read this. I've been lagging on installing my diff breather relocation. Looks like I'll be doing it before then.

 

I had to change my diff oil and added the diff breather after this

 

That must have been a fun surprise.

 

Out of 7 rigs last weekend I was the only one that took this route. As you know your maxtrac spindle lift and beef tires did it fine in 2wd. The others except Ron were 4wd and didn't wanna try. I think they didn't want any of my crappy spotting. I was sad. Lol.

You can't go through that mini pond anymore. Not legally at least.

 

I remember that sign from the last time we were up there, when we climbed the stairs.

 

Morning everyone! Is it Friday yet?
