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

Haha! Twice funny.

 

Almost at the finish line on the trailer..

 

I'm heading out to some trails on the 25th if anyone else is interested in joining myself and a Taco. I was thinking of Big Bear or Idyllwild. I'll post up a trail list tomorrow or Tuesday.

San Bernardino National Forest OHV Riding Areas

Motor Vehicle Use Maps

 

just got back from a week long trip..bonus points if you can name the locations...

truck pics only because that's all you care haha..

 

Idk but I want to go lol

 

Up the 395 somewhere ?? Lol

 

Its not June Lake but i do have it on the tip on my tongue.

 

Somewhere in the Sierras!





Only cuz I got you on IG

 

last picture is close to June Lake..Grant Lake to be exact

 

Almost got stuck in a sandy trail up there, which tires are good for sand ? KM3s ?
granted I was loaded up with gear/bikes and 5 peeps and i was too lazy to deflate tires..lol

 

gotta air down especially on soft sand.
But I like the KM3's

 

They all good when u air down lol in Baja in the soft sand my Toyo MT did great. I did air down tho to 13 psi

 

One of my favorite spots to fish! I’ll be stopping by there Monday on my way to Bridgeport Reservoir. Gonna test out my new boat!

 

I’m going to be camping/fishing on the Owens river in a few weeks. Any other good fishing spots??

 

Yup. Aired down enough, even the stock Michelin’s on my 3rd gen 2WD have done well in desert sand that wants to pull the tires (I’d never try the beach tho-, or dunes), but that’s ‘cause it’s a 2WD. Gotta keep steady on the gas, and can’t stop quickly, because it builds a wall of sand in front of each tire.

I’ve been out on dunes at Superstition with the Taco in aired down mud tires (Cooper stt Pro’s), even rescued a full size truck... twice! Bed and cab loaded for camping. So yeah, airing down is key.

 

If you’re gonna be around the Bishop area, I highly recommend Bishop Creek, Lake Sabrina, North and South Lakes... to name a few.

 

what Paul said here also if you have time hit up the power plant. What do you use for fishing? Sorry I gotta ask as I lovvveee trout fishing especially up there TFTI btw haha

 

I’ll be there for a few days so options are good!

 

honestly I haven’t even got passed power bait lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Haven’t been fishing since I was a kid. Haha still plenty of time to come join!

 

lots of people up there. Lots of guys fishing in the various lakes fyi.

 

thanks..I guess trying to persuade myself to get new tires..haha

 

Oh. Well, then. Let us know what you want to get. We can delete all these posts and recommend the ones you want. We’re here for you!

 

running toyo AT2 right now in 295/18, will go up to 35/18. debating between Nitto RG or TG and the BFG KM3

 

Airing down any tire makes a positive difference. But if you’re running 18” wheels, and could go to 35” tires, Nitto RG or TG, or maybe BFG KM3’s could be perfect for your needs.

 

What’s good guys?! I’m Benny from San Clemente, do we have any meets or anything right now? We just picked up a 2019 TRD 4x4 crewmax, some fox 2.5 Coilovers with remote reservoirs and some methods

 

Welcome from Riverside. We can have a meet anytime. All the new ones need to donate something tho. So don’t forget those fox Items and bring them to me lol

 

Nothing wrong with power bait. You just can’t catch and release as most of the time they swallow the hook. I prefer to catch and release so I usually fish with a mini jig, metal spoon, or mice tails. I prefer 2lb line and UL fishing poles. If you need some more info send me a message and I’ll share some knowledge.

 

Welcome, Benny! That’s some fine equipment you’ve got there.

We haven’t met often lately due to the damned C-19. I drove all the way up to Shaver Lake this weekend to get some rock-crawling in. Everyone wore masks and skipped hand-shakes for the meet n greet portions, and we all stay in our own truck bubbles the rest of the time, so off-road meets are perfect pandemic play! If you have an idea about a run you’d like to do, or a parking lot you’d like to hang out in, post up and you’ll get takers.

July-August is f’ing hot though, everywhere except San Clemente... so maybe you could just invite us all over.

 

Hahaha thank you sir!
I was thinking of one in the pier parking lot or maybe North beach but I’m open to where ever! Somewhere on the coast would be nice. Just got the shocks in today!!!
