Went up to Big Bear lake to hit da rocks. Traffic and such wasn't too horrible even though it's Memorial day weekend. I got no interest on the forums for anyone to join, so I said eff it I'll just go by myself.
I know, I know. But I figured I'd run into a group of jeeps or something
Well even better.. At trail head I ran into a family in a jeep. They were there by themselves as well. After a quick handshake and a CB channel agreement we were on the trail. Pics :

The Jeep was an 02 TJ with a ford 8.8 rear end, D30 front, 4.56's and LSD's w/ 35/12.5's. Rob was a totally cool Jeeper

Gold Mountain:



Gold Rock Garden:


John Bull, The Gatekeeper:


The group of jeepers you see was actually there last year around the same time and remembered me and my stock Tacoma. That report is here.

Me going up








The lunch spot. The Hammers is down there somewhere..




Don't know why this one came out blurry..


That's all I got, hope you enjoy the pics

Dang, well, we are going to be up there alot this summer, visiting the parents, dads CHP retirement party, and camping!!! I'll let you know when we will be up there, maybe get together for a trail and a bbq!

 

Freakin awesome man!! Glad you made it up there!!


Dude...D30 on 35's??!? lol

 

LOL. He didn't seem to have a problem. IDK if they have the same Cclip problem as the rear ends.

Is it considered conceited to have a picture of your own truck as your computer's desktop background ?

Sean, let me know man.

 

idk, my buddy had Super 30 or 35's on his locked TJ on 36" Iroks and never had a problem. Plus he DD that bad boy...

Sooooo, you makin a set of half doors next?

 

looks like you had some fun today Frodo... wish i lived closer... id love to go wheelin with you...

definately looks like you had some more fun than i did... anyways, i had as much fun as i could in a stock tacoma...

 

I'll only make half doors if I get the doors for free. I might make or buy some tube doors eventually.

I had fun for sure. I give you props for at least getting the thing off road and doing what you could

 

True that. If I can find some doors for nothing I'll do it. I've always liked tube doors BUUUUUT as much weather we get here half doors would be a better option...imo.

 

looks like a blast. Those two trails are tons of fun. I love mountain season!
