San Gorgonio trip to Big Bear - Sept. 20-22

No worries!!
Great time last night!! Loved your grandkids! Bring the fam anytime!

 

Awesome weekend Oscar!! Set a date and Tundras will join our Taco Fam anytime!! Thank you and I appreciate all the hard work you put in to make such a great weekend a huge success!!
Umm, next time pass out tent heaters!!

 

You guys experienced the magic of San G.

stars at night, blue sky’s in the morning, and good friends everywhere.

This weekend, I got up at 6am both days and waved to everyone that passed by my campsite. Yeah I was right next to the restroom so I chatted with everyone on the right side of the campground. I made coffee and sat in my chair. I got so see a bunch of friends it was great.

It’s hard to explain the magic I’m glad you guys got the opportunity to experience it first hand.

 

I’ll start looking for a tent heater sponsor.

 

Wait, whut? You have a Taco too?!!

 

Yup! My daily! Stock except all terrain tires.

 

Hey stimberly

 

Hey McStorkyboonyjug!!! I barely said Hi to you!! Dang celebrities never give fans any time for autographs

 

I know we got caught up in the raffle. It got so cold we had to take off as soon as it ended. Hopefully Anza we will have more time

Edit: now my name is boonjug LOL

 

Anza!!! I know it was probably too cold for baby so totally understandable.

And how did your Tundra get so muddy? I will need video!

 

@nishibot, Brandon and myself did the pinstripe free trail and came across a nice little mud crossing

Not looking forward to cleaning the truck

 

So since you will be washing your Tundra, I will bring mine over! And this is only Friday after Coxey trail!!

 

Truck looks sooo good like that. Quicksand is a nice color lol

 

I can’t figure out how I missed this. Cool!

 

@blktruck you put on an awesome event and thanks for the Tundra's invite. Sorry I didn't get to meet you, but hope to at some point.

 

Agreed, thank you @Icon_Adrian and Demello! It was great meeting you both!

Thanks to @eccracer104 for the invitation and @blktruck for organizing!

 

Yeah, @Icon_Adrian, it was good to see you again! (And thanks for the *swag*)

Thanks to all you sponsors; you rock!

 

Good times:

 

This looks like a great weekend!
Family, Friends, Food & Trucks

 

Anybody have an idea where the professional pictures and drone footage they took will be posted?

 

Probably on their TW thread, linked at the top of this page?!! Headed to check now....

 

I haven’t see it yet. I’ll post it here when it’s posted.

 

@Marty McFly , did you get yourself a tonneau cover in an exchange? Nice work, BTW.

 

@Pinay ... Looking at this map, it appears that you did the harder part of White Mountain this time. If so, how did it compare to what we did last time?

 

Yeah, not up yet. But some cool pics. A few guys did Holcomb Creek, awesome!

I’m laughing: you guys notice this is a Taco event, their TW thread started well in advance of ours, the event was 10x more TW participants than Tundras, and theirs has 10 pages, ours has 21....

 

They took it going UP!!

(Those of us who did this extra credit portion last month did it going down— counterclockwise.) @Tundyfundy, give us a trip report.

 

Actually that’s @TheFreshMouse ’s Gaia record, they did the harder loop at 3n11, where they went left up the hill and I went right and headed back to Big Pine Flats like we did last time.

 

Ah... ok. When I saw this post, it made it seem like Monet was leading on the route pictured which I assumed included the "hard part".

 

It was awesome! Yes we went up. The last hardf portion was very rocky! I kissed my sliders a few times and exhaust pipes a few times.

I had both my sway bars off and I seemed to be not slipping as much as with the sway bars. Somebody said that the trail was the rockiest they have ever seen. There were pinstripe sections and I seem to have gotten the worst of it but seems like they could be avoided for the most part.

The trail was secluded and beautiful. It was spicy and steep but the Tundra was more than capable for this terrain.

we aired down before hand (22 in the front and 20 in the rear). This truck climbs so damn well. I would say anyone afraid of pinstripes or banging the undersides should cut off early and take the easier way down. There is also rock obstacles that were close to the body panels but are avoidable by going slow with a spotter.

I highly recomend, it was very exciting and the views are amazing. Hope this helps!!

PS the top is narrow and we had to squeeze out of the way of a party coming down the hill. It felt pretty good to see all the jeeps going down what we just climbed in our massive boat trucks!
