I want to address the run requirements as far as the black/blue/green trails are concerned for CANVAZ II.  

This post is a general post, NOT directed at any one individual.  This is simply to clarify if you have any questions in your own mind.  

We get questions every big run SCCX puts together about whether this truck/or that truck is capable, as well as representations about how much experience individuals have that qualifies them for Trail X or Trail Y.  These trail ratings are put in place by the trail leaders for the safety and enjoyment of the groups running the trails.  It's also a great excuse/incentive to keep modding your truck and upgrade to more aggressive trails.

When you are choosing which trails to run, try to put it in the perspective of what's best for the group.  Trashing someone's DD or having to wait through a 2-3 hour recovery/mechanical repair on the trail isn't fun for anyone...especially the owner of the truck.  

So with all of that said:

Green Runs:  31" (255's) and above tires with A/T or M/T tread patterns, sliders recommended but not necessary, skid plates recommended but not necessary, front and rear recovery points mandatory, stock suspension okay, 2" of lift recommended but not necessary.

Blue Runs:  33" (285's) and above tires with A/T or M/T tread patterns, sliders mandatory, skids mandatory, front and rear recovery points mandatory, front and rear armor (bumpers) recommended but not necessary,  rear locker recommended but not necessary, 2" or more of suspension lift mandatory, 3" of lift recommended but not necessary, winch recommended but not necessary.

Black Runs:  33" (285's) and above tires with A/T or M/T tread patterns, sliders mandatory, skids mandatory, front and rear armor recommended but not necessary, 3" of lift and above mandatory, rear locker mandatory, front locker recommended but not necessary, winch mandatory.

Let me know if anyone has questions.

Thank you,

John, GhostX

i know im a bit late on booking my room, but apparently this rate is only good for a 2-night stay...looking for places near Robinhood, any suggestions as a 1 night stay there will run me ~$150?
thank you!

Motel 6 is about 2.9 miles away at 42899 Big Bear Blvd.  The Robinhood is at 40797 Big Bear Blvd.  If you use the 20% discount code CP545856, the price is $71.89 for one person and $77.39 for two adults.  But then they charge 10.50% tax on top of that.  If anyone already reserved a room at Motel 6, you can still give them that discount code at the desk and they will adjust the price.  The discount code works at any Motel 6 and has been valid for many years.

That must be new thing. I'm only staying for one night, Saturday. Ask for Pete, and tell him you're with CANVAZ. Also mention that there are other people in the group that are staying there for one night. Fair is fair.
I love it when a plan comes together

Thanks for posting the info GhostX.  Looks like I should be put on the green trails list then.  I'm only on 31.5's, should have sliders by then, no armor, maybe a  BL, and already sitting on a sus lift.  Better to be safe than sorry I guess.  Won't get my 33's till next year, and need to change up my rear sus, I've seen overweight midnite shopping in spandex WAL-Mart specials with more flex in the rear than my poor Katya.

Marshann pointed out that 31" tires are actually 255's...so that is corrected.

There is a lot of fun to be had in both Rattlesnake Canyon and Jacoby Canyon...yes, Skyline Drive is a pretty mild fire road run, but the views are spectacular.  Also, I have found a lot of the green runs are about the people, and not always grinding steel on granite.  :)

Skyline Drive is a pretty mild fire road run, but the views are spectacular. 

Skyline Drive is a great place to watch the fireworks display over Big Bear Lake on the Fourth of July, as long as you don't mind a lot of noisy people celebrating.  It gets somewhat crowded on the trail since it's not a very well kept secret, and the prime spots get taken fairly early.  But you can always find parking along the trail and then walk to a better viewing location.  Actually, walking along the trail is half the fun because you get to check out the celebrations and get to know your "neighbors."   :D
