Welcome to the Official SoCal BS/ Shenanigans, Tundras and What’s Happening Thread

Lol im jk buddy i have no idea what trails

 

I’m trying to be low key and slink off into the sunset LOL

 

No plans yet on trails or camping spots. Worst case scenario would be the same trails we ran last time. With the option of splitting up and the big dawgs getting on some more technical stuff.

If we do the same stuff as last time, your truck can easily handle the terrain. Plus you have a very high clearance.

Easy = where’s the mall parking lot in Anza
Just joking, most people are looking for some dirt and scenery for the kids and family.

Possible pew pew action

Mr Porshetech29 you are correct. We’re just trying to get feelers for who’s interested and if a lot of people are down then we’ll go into full blown new thread mode

 

Hopefully you come out and kick it with us amateurs Alex
Your more than welcome to throw out some trail suggestions

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend,, I run a cabinet shop and my helper just crashed on his motorcycle (he is ok) and need to train a new guy if I can find one..and we are also suppose to take kids to Legoland..

 

Boo .... boo.... @Fiestee23
No autograph for you young lady

Boooooo

I do have something planned in Dec .... it’s called Xmas with my family lol
Just joking. Enjoy your trip!

 

Alright cool, I’m putting you down for 100% in

No worries, if your family needs you bro then it’s all good.

 

Interested (dates work)

Tentative but hopeful

No he doesn't.

haha we were all amateurs once. I'm definitively down to hang out with you guys. I know the entire park very well. Except truckhaven. I haven't explored that area yet.

but if you guys get more than about 10 trucks to show up, then I'll have to bow out LOL I'll wheel with anybody, but I'm not a fan of sht shows

 

For the JT trip people looking to camp at Jumbo rocks will need to make a reservation early.

If a few Tundras want to explore with me, I know of some fun trails but also a huge camping spot on BLM land. I've been there with 2wd Tacomas, but never with Tundras, so I'd like to pre-run it and make sure everyone will be able to get to the campsite as well as over the trail and into the park.
I'd prefer to take 4x4 Tundras who are open to wheeling in 2wd to check if the 2wd tundras can get by. There's soft sand in spots, and the trail has some rocks to get up and over hence my concern.

 

We roll deep everytime 20+ lol always a good time. No shit shows in our socal meets

 

I should clarify. He has a higher clearance than stock. Well shit shows is our specialty lol
So far with our meets they have been really good and chill. I know you guys run smaller groups and this might not be for you, but your always welcome

 

I’m overly booked in Oct - Nov but if I can find the time, I’ll try to run recon with you so that we know the group is all good.

 

Sweet!

I know a very fun and long route that will probably add some pin stripes, I also have a shorter more direct route with zero risk of pin stripes. We've got options! But if we're too trek out there might as well make it fun right!

 

Hell yeah

 

LOL I was just joking about the bracket lift because of the other thread

and I meant sht show in the sense that everyone gets lost and it takes an hour to spot people over one obstacle and basically its like herding cats

 

Well if your talking about that type of shit show then yeah that’s basically summarizing us LOL

 

haha! Well I might be down for taking a small group and splitting off for runs but then camp with you guys at night

 

Sounds good lol

 

Let me know when Mike I’m down but the next 2 weeks I’ll be tied up with family stuff.

 

I hope the best for your mom's surgery and recovery, and I'm glad you're able to go help out after, if she and dad ask you.

Don't give up on joining us, if you can't make the next one; it's not like that. I think it's because we hang around together on the forum, but "new" additions fit in no problem. As long as you bring a willing attitude, and play well with others, you join us when the stars align. We'll be happy too meet you!

Bahahahahahaha!

That's a lot going on. I hope you motorcycle side-kick heals well, and that you find a new apprentice and get back on track. My response to @JDL17CM4x4 applies to you too; come join us when you can!

I think this in enough to start a new thread, @Marty McFly.

My hero!

Exactly this. We have a great time; however, so far it's been more socializing and casual one-handed driving, not many technical spots. And those we've usually made it through without spotting.

I'd love to stretch my abilities! Because I'm one of few running 2WD with stock tires I air down, I'm grateful to have so many buddies participating in routes I can do.

That said, I feel willing and able for most of what I've seen in the Anza area other than big swales or stretches of loose sand, and large, loose, boulders.

And I carry MaxTrax, rope, have good attachment points... and am willing to buy whatever beer the most experienced drivers want me to have on hand, in case I need a hand getting out. In case that makes a difference to my entré.

 

There is nothing wrong with a stock truck and 2wd is ok as long as you're with other 4wd trucks who can pull you if needed. The biggest thing though is tires. If I were you I would get a good set of AT tires.

That said, you can definitely get through a lot of the trails in Anza. You just have to be careful and watch out for the rocks.

I'll put it to you this way, we dragged a 2wd rental f150 on street tires 300 miles though Mojave and Death Valley a couple years ago...

 

Awesome! And just now it occurred to me, @Marty McFly, lets go rent a Dodge 1500 for me to drive, so we can get video of @osidepunker pulling me out with The Truck.

 

I think my 295 70 18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers would do fine then out there

 

Those tire are great

Just no spacer lift. If anyone has a spacer lift and they break their coilover, I will pop my tailgate and drink beer while I watch them freak out

 

Billstein 5100s all around

 

Will do!

All good, it’ll be a few weeks at least for me as well.

 

But nothing like yours .....yours is bad ass set up something I would do on my next purchase maybe 4th gen

 

Will u pull me out after ur done with ur beer tho? Lol im starting to think i shouldnt even join these meets
