80 through Deep Creek in Big Bear, CA?

[AdventureBuddies]

Hi folks - trying to plan my Labor Day weekend and thinkning of heading to Big Bear to traverse from Silverwood to Arrowhead to Big Bear to J-tree. I haven't been to Deep Creek since I was a kid, so my memory is of really big rocks and giant jeep rock crawlers. My guess is that it isn't nearly as "extreme" as it seemed when I was a kid, but I'd love to hear from someone who's been through with an 80.

I have 315s, 4" lift, lockers, and the associated bumpers and thus poor departure angle. Really it's an expo rig, not a crawler and I'm not interested in breaking stuff or getting body damage. I'd appreciate any input.

You'll be just fine with your setup.

X2 - Jiggawu and I did it a few months back and it was not that bad. There are really only two spots that are tough and they just require careful line choices. Have fun! If you look at my old posts there are pics. have fun!
