Anyone in SoCal Up For A Drive?

[Ron B]

so...anyone still going? Next weekend I am going on a trip to the Big Bear area to run Gold Mt and John Bull if anyone wants to go. There are 2 or 3 other trucks coming to, so a few more would be fun.

Cant say for sure yet (wont know til one or two days before) .
Ill plan for Sun.

Adding another day for MOI in the same month - with two kids and a pregnant wife - upsets the balance of my universe .

Ron B - post back and take pics of your trip next weekend.

the trip is (as of now) next Sat the 27th. John Bull's a fun trail -- I'll take some pics.

Sounds like fun! I love the big bear area and I haven't had a chance to run John Bull yet. However, I've got plans to go to Joshua tree for a relaxing weekend of camping. Anybody interested?

Hi there, when do you plan to go?

 

[Ron B]

So far it's me plus 3 other trucks for Sat. We're doing Gold Mountain on the way to John Bull. Should be a great time assuming no drama.

So far it's a hummer only trip (me, 2 H2's and an H3)...I was hoping some other brands would represent and come join the fun (now's your chance to come and heckle ). I've done these trails with H2's before, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the 3 handles the carnage. I wish I could talk my friend into bringing his new FJ! It would be fun to watch the FJ and the H3 wheel together.

Hey ST,

I plan on leaving this Friday from Cerritos, CA and probably return Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. Sounds like you got a cool trip to DV this weekend, let's hear more about it?

I see you're from West Co?

Ron B...I might be interested in joining you on Sat...what level of difficulty (on 5 point scale) are Gold Mountain and John Bull...do you need at least one locker and at least 32 inch tires? (neither of which I have!) If they challenge H2's...hmmmm...sounds like above 3.5

 

[VikingVince]

Just did a little research on the John Bull trail...considered the "mini-Rubicon" and vehicles without lockers not allowed on trail...guess that answers my question!!!....have fun!!!

 

[Ron B]

It's really not as bad as everyone thinks -- but there are a few hairy sections. You are right, a rear locker and 33's are a must have on this trail. I'll probably have a seat open if ya want to ride along and have some tasty beverage?

I always thought Hair was a good thing!

I still have ALL mine!

4WDTrips.net is doing a Big Bear run June 10/11 weekend........

Vince.....just head up with Jack and the crew.....I'm sure they won't get too outrageous! .....and you can meet "cruiserguy" from BC/and Guatemala.

I hope to make it.....but still have Engine issues.

 

[cruiser guy]

Mark, if needed we can give you a lift! We're only four of us in the '60 series.

 

[Ron B]

The trails were fun, but we had to cut John Bull short. It was crowded on the trail and a truck in the group infront of us blew up the tranny(Bronco)...took a few hours to get it off the trail. We turned around about a third of the way into the trail -- fearing darkness and breakage.

Here's a few snapshots

Ron, how did the tasty beverage go with the few hours wait?
