NorCal Offroading

Colorado 4x4 and Tundra Crew have several posts.

 

You gotta be doing something really stupid to end up like that. lol

 

I wonder if the hill they were going down was frozen and they just slid all the way down and couldn't stop. Makes me think twice about doing a snow run.

 

Might have to do a boat anchor mod.

 

That's a good idea. I read one of the comments that said it was icy so they all slid into each other.

 

Hey guys. I've recently joined this forum after getting my truck about a year ago. 2020 trd pro with a coach builder kit and cooper 295's. I'm new to off roading and have learned a lot just reading through this thread. I'm in sac area and hope to keep modding my truck up to be able to join you guys on some of the harder trails. Fow now though I'll split my spare time with a 99 v70 I'm working on as well but if/when a meetup gets scheduled again or a get together for a trail my setup could handle I'm in.

 

@joonbug please add me to the list!

 

Anyone need tail lights ?

 

@Trdwillie14 stock tail lights?

 

Yah. But I think @831Tun snagged them

 

cool, let me know if that changes.

 

Anyone planning an off roading trip?

 

Meeeeeeeee

 

No long travel invited make us look bad lmao I’m gonna try to put something together

 

How about a wheeling trip towards the end of April? Anyone up for it?

 

I’m down

 

May 1st? Technically thats late spring. Who else can join? Trails? @joonbug, @GodlessPro?

 

That’s perfect we’re getting back from Texas for house shopping just before then. Where you have in mind? @831Tun @Cruzer @Dceclipse @TG705 @SC_TRD

 

I may be gone to Texas, but keep me posted!

 

Yes sir!!! May 1st is looking good for me.

 

Not sure, but post up your ideas.

 

A few of us will be meeting up at Prairie City tomorrow, 5/30, at 10am if anyone is interested.

First dirt in over 9 months - It was a lot of fun to get back out there.

 

That was fun. Thanks @sr5shark and @InfernoPRO for coming out.

 

You guys didn’t see me but I was hiding in the bushes taking pics.

 

@raymond_hb You can post on here and see if anyone has recommendations for you or wants to go out and explore with you. Also checkout websites like funtreks.com and alltrails.com since you are 2WD I'd recommend you only look at easy trails.

SVRAs are also a good option, http://www.ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1170 . You aren't that far away from Carnegie SVRA, I haven't been so can't comment on how much is 2WD friendly. Hollister Hills SVRA is pretty big and you can do quite a bit in 2WD, but it's also easy to run into an area where you'll be stuck without 4WD.

 

Thanks so much Matthew it’s honestly real nice to see actual Bay Area folks post on here. For the moment I’ve looked into AllTrails since I also use it for hiking but many reviews for off road seem a bit old or vague. I’ll definitely use the other tools you mentioned and I’m looking into the book someone posted on here in the beginning. For now, I’ll try and milk that stock anywhere that I can until I’m able to put some money into it

Edit: I am as inexperienced as I can be when it comes to off-roading/backroads, most of my research a sticker keeps getting mentioned. Can anyone give me an insight on that? Like I said my car is 100% stock aside from the all-terrain tires and even that is stock size. But even so I’d like to make this a hobby so any info on backroads/fire roads/2wd friendly off roads and any permits or stickers required will be greatly appreciated

 

Are you referring to an OHV red or green sticker? If so, that's only for non street legal vehicles like dirt bikes, quads, sxs, and buggies. You don't need any sticker to off road in your tundra
