Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

I'm still up for doing white mountain if it rains, as long as at least a couple others are.

 

White Mountain being mostly small to medium rocks all over won't be too bad as far as mud is concerned.

 

Accuweather shows rain Monday and spotty showers Friday. Apple weather shows it raining all week haha. I’m going to see how the weather plays out.

 

Im still down even with some rain

 

@DarthPow I expect you to still be down even if there's rain
After all, you did way better than me on White Mountain last time when it was covered in ice lol.

 

I never been on a trail
But i would still like to go if it rains but i dont think i could do white Mountain

 

If you're 4wd with good AT tires and a lift you will be fine on White Mountain, even better if you have the TRD OR with elocker.

Regardless we can play it by ear when the day comes and see what conditions are like and who wants to do what

 

Ok ill try it
I do have 4wd and its the trd off road my lift it's on 3in is that fine

 

Yeah that should be fine, with 4wd and a locked rear diff White Mountain is a piece of cake under normal conditions. If its wet it will be trickier but with a group and spotters, recovery straps, etc if needed it will be fine. We can stick to the easier lines and there shouldn't be any issues. But ultimately we won't really know what it looks like until the day of depending on what the weather has in store for us this week.

 

Yep, still down. lol.

 

The Weather Channel shows rain today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If it stays like that there will definitely be mud up there. I'll keep an eye out.

 

467.562 is channel 8 on a walkie talkie.

 

Really? Huh that's cool...I had read that there was no way to use walkie talkie stations with HAM but if there is, then that'll make it easier for us for sure

 

My dad's gonna be bummed, he was looking forward to camping for the first time in a long time with good weather lol. Hopefully it changes by the weekend, this time of year especially it seems that rain forecasts are changing right up to the day of.

 

Yea that’s what i also heard but figured it out myself and used on trails with guys that only had walkie talkies.

 

Whats up guys just wanted to give you guys a heads up theres going to be a jeep jamboree that weekend so may get crowded. Ill be in big bear doing some hard trails with my krew. Will have a welder and stuff at the cabin so PM me if you guys run into trouble. Or if any of you guys want to try the hard stuff.

 

Good to know...do you know what trail(s) the Jeep meet up is planning on running out there?

 

O wish i knew so i could avoid them. Plan is to start early and just take the hardlines around them. Its sold out to so gonna be busy.

 

Crap. Probably means camp grounds are going to be packed too. Damnit

 

I'll probably look at campsites over near Lake Arrowhead instead for that night just to avoid the Jeep crowd...hopefully White Mountain won't be packed. As long as they don't plan on running it backward it shouldn't be too bad.

One thing I've noticed about Jeep groups consistently is that they don't follow the small group etiquette and clog up trails with dozens of rigs at a time making it impossible sometimes to get around them until you come to a big enough spot. I guess we can see what it looks like in the AM when we get there.

Gold Mountain is a really popular Jeep trail so I'm sure that one's going to be bad, can't say I've ever run into a Jeep group on White Mountain before...only time I ran into a large group there it was a group of OC Overlanders in 4runners doing it backwards (sucked). Hopefully the Jeep guys are sticking to Gold Mtn and maybe some of the other trails over there.
