Hi all, Brandon and I are planning our annual overland trip. Last year we did Black Bear Pass, and in the previous years we have completed the Lost Coast Trail and the Shasta Trinity Trail (based on Overland Trail Guides). This year we have...

The flags are in and will be available at the Big Bear-a-thon this weekend.

Can’t wait to follow this guy at Big Bear A Thon!

Club flags shipped out today and will be available for the Big Bear-a-thon. Great way to identify, promote and support our club!! We will be there Friday to Sunday, look forward to seeing everyone. Safe travels!!!

I plan on being there, Thursday to Sunday. I don't mind volunteering as long as I can put the trail on ONX.

Ok, we’ll definitely have to reschedule as I was looking forward to camping at this spot with you all. Anyhow, we will be in the Virginia Lakes area this Friday so we are still planning to check out the area/proposed camping area and maybe do...

I am interested

Yeah that's the problem. There's only one other 80 in my town. Most people don't know what i have. Thanks for the kind words!

Maybe there’s just not a lot of potential buyers in Wyoming? That’s one badass 80 and the price is very fair. No rust triple locked with all that suspension work, new wheels and tires. I bet you got more in just parts costs in this build. None...

Marc A couple of us drove by Virginia Lake two weeks ago. It looks like a beautiful area. I hope you reschedule the trip as a long distance club run. I would like to attend if timing works out then. Keep us posted…

Appears to be the same truck, with a different price?

Our latest club newsletter shows the subject club run scheduled. Who is planning to attend this? I will be camping at West Lake (a bit north-east of Shaver Lake) with friends the week of August 11. Since I will be up there early, I would be...

:steer:That picture was taken on the Rubicon Trail where the sliders were put to use to help position the rig.:cool: The Big Bear trails are mild in comparison. I took my stock LC100 to scout the trails and stock XJ Cherokee on some of them in...

@Dan240 covered some really good points to consider. The FJ40 in the Craigslist link has some nice features for a strictly wheeling truck but it definitely would need a good looking over by someone that knows V8 conversions and proper spring...

I don’t have an FJ40 but I have a Jeep CJ of about the same vintage. Look for rust and if it had rust how was it repaired. Rust is usually the killer for these vehicles. Hidden rust can be even worse. Look at what modifications it has and how...

Thanks Rich, Joe, and Dat for the recovery tech talk!

Nope! Also, I would not take a wagon through the trail without at least 35” tires…

I can't even begin to express how honored and thankful we were to have Richard and Katelin jumping in with us, and every one of you that we met were awesome! We hope to see as many of you as possible next year

Or do both...;)

Dune Rats is making me a sample flag, here is the layout. I hope to have it for our next meeting for everyone to say yeah or nay.

We will meet on Sunday, July 6th, at 4:00 PM. After the meeting, we will have a Recovery with and without a winch Tech Talk, which we did not get to last month... The new shirts have arrived and they are SO GOOD!!! If you ordered a shirt but...

We had a great club run! Nothing like running from Buck Island Lake to the Rubicon Springs in the dark! We had a minor issue that slowed us down a bit to repair but it got us stuck behind the wagon run. We eventually passed them but it put us...

As Brent said, the river sites are beautiful, and you can try to get an end spot for a bit more privacy. As an alternative, there are a few spots just before the river crossing. The upside is there are fewer spots, so you don’t get as many...

Yes, Virginia Lakes is a bit of a hike from south OC, but it’s worth it! I just camped there on the way to the Rubithon, and liked it so much that I camped there again on the way home. And, not just a beautiful place to camp, but there are some...
