All,

A small group from the south bay area will be heading up to Crab Flats to do some crawling tomorrow September 23rd. We will be meeting at 7:00 AM at the Mobil gas station at the intersection of 190th and Western avenue in Torrance (right off the 405 at the western exit).

All are welcome to join, I am always looking for more people in the area to go wheeling with.
 
A guy from work here has been a few times before and says that there are some fun trails that are mild to medium with some "fun" spots. Apparently the trail ends up in the Lake Arrowhead area.

So far there will be 2 FJ 80s, an 85 4-runner, and a crawler 85 pickup.
 
I'm one of the 80s going. I ran this trail last year in my old Runner. Its easy-moderate and is a fun trail. I am not sure if the trail is "crab flats trail" but it must be near it. Should take about 2-3 hours to complete the trail. Bring some lunch, we got Cuff-links the newbie out for his first run in his new 80.
Come on out.
 
The event ended up being pretty fun. There was a total of 4 vehicles that came out: Two 80's, a 4-runner, and an 85 pickup. We made a 2 hour round trip run down a trail that everyone referren to as "Crab flats" which had an interesting section that contained a line for every skill level and equipment set up. We then made our way to the rock garden. This trail took about 4 hours to run, and had 2 distict challenging sections. One of which I kept from rolling over thanks to one of the passengers quick thinking (not to mention his additional weight on the side of my rear bumper).

Thanks to Skim and the others who helped this newbie to get through the trail with NO damage. Pics to come shortly.
 
sounds like you guys had fun. I knew after Millers it would not be long until you were driving your rig round. Wish I could have been there (instead spent 9 hrs in ER..no fun). Can't wait to see the pics.
