So cal meetup/Trail run?

hey guys, wondering if anyone from so cal would be interested to get a group of us from here to run the Holcomb trail (3n16) in Big Bear sometime and maybe grab some food or something in town after?

 

@BestGen
He knows BB like the back of his tundra

You should also check out the SoCal BS thread. We’ve had several meets/ trail runs the shenanigans crew is always a good time

Edit: my truck is not modded enough to run Holcomb but lots of guys on here that might be interested

 

Sweet! Not nodded enough? Are we talking about the same trail? I just did it about 2 weeks ago on stock suspension.

 

I could be wrong. I know some of the trails can get a gnarly and sliders are highly recommended.

 

We're hoping to have @BestGen (as mentioned by @Marty McFly ) be our guide for a BB trip. With T2S so close we haven't begun to discuss a time frame yet.

 

Yea
I know of a few
Up there that if you took the wrong trail you’d definitely want some sliders and 37’s. The trail I’m talking about is super mellow with a couple of shallow water crossings, muddy trails, and a few icy hills nothing bad at all.

 

@BestGen is the BB pro
I’m waiting on you guys to come down! ive got the popcorn on standby

 

We did the green valley trail a few months back.

 

We might have to wait 'til you're a little less sleep deprived. At least I was sleep deprived when I was in your shoes. I hope you're enjoying the heck out of it though.

 

Haha very sleep deprived but loving every moment. That’s why I’m up now. But my shift is over and I’m about to hit the sack for a few hours before I gotta go to work

I wish I could go to T2S this year but duty calls.

 

Damn solid turn out, looks like a great time. Hopefully I’ll be making the next one forsure

 

We get some good turn outs and everyone is good peeps. Willing to help each other out

I’ll go ahead and leave my little promo to entice you for the next meet before I pass the F out

Hmmmmm where do y’all camp for
This? Would you guys caravan from SoCal area or is everyone just getting there when they get there?

 

The camp is in an area designated for this event. Anyone that registers will get the location info. A few of us from SoCal are headed over, and likely will do caravans depending on timeframes for starting that way. Others doing the same from all over the U.S. Where are you?

 

iE

 

I wonder what day most of the local guys heading out there

 

@Marty McFly I think you're confusing Holcomb Valley trail 3N16 with the Holcomb Creek trail 3N93
Two very different trails.
@831Tun I'll be ready for you guys! Still need to know what level of damage is acceptable so as to plan a route accordingly.

 

NO DAMAGE IS ACCEPTABLE!!! What's wrong with you??? But you'll be surprised what we can get over without any damage. Just as long as we don't get any body damage, we're good. Scraping the armor is totally fine. 3N93 looks doable. Atleast that section in the pic.

 

Thanks for the clarification brotha
I knew their was a trail in there that was more technical

 

What's wrong with me..? How much time ya got!?
Body damage is what I'm referring to! Scraping armor is mandatory. Why else would you have it for!
Seriously tho, we should be good.

 

I'm up for any of the "easy" big bear trails. By easy I mean 2wd (so you know, most of big bear).

 

It's usually the width that limits us. All armored up like we are, we slide down obstacles like kids at the playground,,,,, sort of.

 

Sounds like we’re ready to plan a trip soon am I right!?!?

 

TWO trips: one to test Really Built Beasts, and another for drivers of stock trucks to meet and get on dirt!

 

That's me!
I vote for one trip with multiple trail options. I want to see the built trucks so I can daydream about trading for a 4wd

 

I'm in Temecula, work in Moreno Valley. I'll be leaving for T2S from MoVal Wed around 10am

Also, I plan trips about once a month if you're interested. I usually post trip threads in the SoCal section. We're always looking for new trucks to wheel with us so hit me up sometime. Also, if you're ever in the Temecula area and you want to grab a beer and talk trucks hit me up. Weekends are usually best for me

 

Gears and a rear locker are going in soon. So hopefully I won't have this problem anymore:

I need you to show me some of the harder trails in the BB area this year. I always want to try them, but I don't know what they look like and I'm afraid they'll be narrow and I'll get halfway through and get pinched in haha

plus nobody is willing to run them with me...

 

Warren is right on about width being the limiting factor. Gold Mtn isn't particularly difficult, but the switchbacks at the beginning can cause problems for long wheelbase rigs. Dishpan Springs is difficult, especially for wider trucks. Same with JB. There are some narrow sections snaking thru the trees. Holcomb Creek and Lower Larga, same issue, not terribly difficult, but big, long wide rigs will find it tight going. Like I said before, 'how much body damage are you willing to suffer?'^Dishpan Springs. The bypass is narrow. And almost as difficult as the main obstacle.

 

Damn, that’s the bypass? Warren and Alex’s fat pigs are gonna have to go this way.
