Topic: Big Bear Trails

I plan on going up to Big Bear this weekend.  Can anyone recommend a good trail?  Maybe some snow encounters?  Anyone else interested is welcome to come as well.

Depending on how build your truck is... Dishpan and John Bull are fun

Dishpan



John Bull Gate Keeper

the x isn't ready for that one yet.

Jacoby from South to North ought to be easy enough. There's one squeeze near the end but it's stock friendly.

I was looking at rattlesnake canyon.  I saw that you guys did that in '08.  That might be the one.

Rattlesnake can be done stock too. Just pick your path carefully.

Let me drive, I'll get it through... However, It might be fairly wadded but the end of the day

John bull few inch lift 33's and bumpers/ sliders good to have on that trail
Dishpan you could make with tires and lift, there is bypasses for the gnarly sections.

Gold mountain is supposed to be a pretty easy trail. I havent done it but here is a few photos of some dude in an LR3

I have no problem getting through a path...  I can choose a line or if need be just navigate around it.  I'm just not trying to damage it before I get some armor.  Like I said at second look that trail looks a lot easier because you can clearly see the easy path next to the big rocks .  Right now my X is pretty sharp for being a 2002 so I'd like to keep it halfway decent.

I may be interested in going for a little ride tomorrow, nothing major because my rig is still pretty stock. let me know.

I'm actually not going to Big Bear.  I have decided on the Main Divide truck trail between the 78 and the 91 freeways. 

I'll post a message with details.

I did rattlesnake close to stock and then followed brian down a black diamond and still did ok.Maybe a couple of puckers.

between the 78 and the 91 freeways.

    That's a lot of geography...
