Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

You set this up and didn't go?

 

I didn’t want to wheel in the rain and mud. And since the weather had said rain all week long up there I decided not to go. But from a picture a friend of mine listed up there it looks like the weather was nice. Not sure about the mud tho

 

It was really nice up here I got sun burn even.

 

What trail is that?

 

That one was dishpan springs we had it all to ourselves.

 

Here's one of my buddy getting 3 wheel motion. I didnt get much pictures of me since I'm the trail leader. Someone's gotta test the waters.

 

I can’t blame you. It took all day to get most of the off my truck from Ocotillo months back.

 

Boohoo.. stick to parking lots then randy. Hahaha

 

Just got home, was a great trail run...we did the whole WM trail start to finish with no issues and the weather was great for the most part, some scattered rain off and on. But partly sunny most of the time.

No one needed recovery but some of the harder obstacles toward the end of WM required careful spotting for some. But everyone got through unscathed.

There was a fair amount of mud from the rain earlier this week but it wasn't as bad as I've seen it during the snow season.

Got some pics on my dslr I'll try to upload tonight....feeling 110% lazy AF right now lol

 

Ha ha ha... Dust and some mud is one thing. You’re entire under carriage in 1+ inches of mud is completely different ball game.

 

Then stick to the little league!

 

At least it’s a league.

 

Glad you guys had a good time! Can’t wait to see the pictures.

 

@Nicklovin owned White Mountain today, the harder obstacles were difficult for those with open rear diffs but freakin Nick just gunned it in 4lo over rocks and shelves like they werent even there.
Take it from me though man, long term that's gonna result in some expensive repairs/upgrades lol. Your new 1st gen kicks ass though.

 

Just got back also, and am having beers in Pasadena now...

It was in fact an awesome day. A long day, but an awesome one. Definitely some mud around, but easy to avoid getting your truck really muddy. Weather was fantastic, cool, partly cloudy, and some scattered showers...

Here's my photo dump:



And yea... @Nicklovin is a mad man.

 

just ran these through Lightroom real quick, pardon the inconsistent editing

Surprisingly the trails were nearly empty, on the 15 miles of fire roads we took from Green Valley Rd to White Mountain trail head we didn't see another soul. We did run into one of the Jeep groups doing White Mountain, coming down it the opposite direction (of course). Luckily we saw them from a ways away and we were able to pull into a spot big enough for all of our trucks while all 20 (yes, 20) Jeeps passed by us.

They were cool, the leader chatted with me for a few minutes about what the trail was like where we came from and the rest of the group waved as they passed. Most of them had those ridiculous pool noodles on their antennas lol.

Aside from them, saw maybe 2 or 3 other vehicles on the fire roads back out. Was surprisingly quiet out there today, which was nice
