    I've done Berdoo canyon in a stock prerunner, wouldn't recommend it for a five lug if that's what you've got.

    That runs from just outside Palm springs and connects to the geology loop trail inside Joshua tree, which then gets you to some sort hikes. Not sure if you can get in trouble if they catch you inside the park without a receipt for having paid, since I didn't encounter any rangers myself.

    Pick up a set of V-bar chains that you can throw on if you are stuck. That way you don't have to be intimidated by trails that may prove to be too much for 2wd. Aside from rock crawling, good chains on the back end will get you out of just about anything. Just having them with you will give you the confidence to go do some exploring and you will probably find you don't even need them 99% of the time.

    ...That seriously depends on the terrain. There's some things you need to know not to do without 4wd.

    Like I said.... "Aside from rock crawling, good chains on the back end will get you out of just about anything."

    They're not a substitute for 4wd but will get you on the trails with more confidence to explore.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Still shouldn't be wheelin' alone.

    I'm a hypocrite.

    There are a few unmanned entranced into JTNP. They check for passes on the way out and you'll pay if you exit through a manned post. There is no fine because there was no one at the legal entrance you came in on
