I just got a new Yamaha Grizzly and did the John Bull in 20 minutes...My Jeep use to take about 3 hours. They are pretty rutted up right now, but we didn't get that much snow to really tear up anything...
When you get ready to come up, let me know...

LCIR (Los Coyotes Indian Reservation) in Warner Springs is a great place to go.
Stock 4X4's can navigate almost all the trails with no problems. Every run has a bypass to it so you can even try a line or 2 and back off and go around if it's something you can't make or don't want to attempt.
Don't get me wrong the place is no cake walk there are plenty of lines that you simply won't make without lockers and or a winch, but the nice part is there are easier lines on the runs were stockers can have some fun without carnage to their vehicles.

I live in LA, and i head to Azusa. it's close being only like 20 min's away. Take the 210 fwy east till you hit Azusa blvd. then make a left head up till you hit the OHV area. it's about 10 miles away from the base of the mountain. it's nice and cool due to the water. plenty of mud and sand, and if you just want to kick back and relax they have areas where you can just park your truck and relax.
Hungry Valley is nice but to dusty and hot.

To whomever asked about the Fabtech lift.... I would personally stay away from them, my friend had a 6 inch Fabtech lift on his S-10 and it rode terribley! But this is just my opinion, get a few more thoughts on it!

Hosting any 4x4 events in Big Bear?
Hey Sniper, GunsGirlsCars here.
Is there any 4x4 EZ Trail or camping events happing in Big Bear this summer?
If there is, maybe a post letting us know the date and meeting place and the dollar buy-in. OK?
Wife and I need to get on a EZ road for my F150 XLT 4x4 with Toyo's and camp for a weekend!!
Done the Dunes too many times?
