I think your truck scared my little stock '80 at SNT zilla. hehehe :D Gotta find a way to ditch the scout hike. Damn! If it weren't our recruiting hike with bridging Webelos.
 
OK, so sounds like a mall cruiser with MT/Rs should do OK...
what about brush scraping the heck out of the sides? I don't like that!

No worries Eric, it only scrapes one side at a time if you do it right. :D

Only the first ones hurt. ;)

I shed a tear or 5 when I got my first scratches, just ask "RogersFJ40"....Now I look at them as battle wounds, cool to show off at least that make me feel a little better about them. PismoJIm's right though one side at a time....my 80 is blk so they show up real nice (Turtle wax with the crayon wax stick takes away all the light scratches some of the deeper ones).
 
not good enough! Need to know if the brush will come within 2' of my gorgeous silver paint job or not... :D
E
come on, seriously, need a serious answer, will I get scraped or not?
 
hey E9999, just make sure i'm in front of you. My big ass truck is at least 6" wider than probably all the other rigs on the trail so i might knock the brush down and out of the way!
My girl("Hellion") lives for the brush! It's like a bath to her paintjob, you know, to get rid of all the built up mud and road grime! I haven't washed her since i've owned her! - and thats been 11 months! :)

:mad: SETHZILLA!
 
e9999 im not going to say that you 'car' wont get scraped. but i will say that is is a car untill you get it scraped. after you get a scrap or 2 then you can call it a TRUCK. Its on you.

SEth,
You are Rogersfj40 share that trait, although his truck is not big he tends to knock down brush and small trees along the way.

uh,oh. That's how it starts and before you know it someone has the shiny-side down... and a long drive home with a po'd wife ;)
 
make sure you call the Ranger Station...as of today the Lockwood trail was closed due to recent snow. Call 661-245-3731

I made the mistake last year of planning an outing and not checking....felt a bit stupid when we arrived to find a locked gate.
 
Last min check up

Will definitely check before we head out. Are you going to be able to make it out with us D (assuming it's open)?
 
Anyone care to chime in on a back-up plan if this trail is closed? I personally would love to get into some snow, would make my daughter pretty jacked too.

If we go in from the Frazier Park side [that's right, I said 'we'] there are still a lot of places to get into before running into locked gates. Still, a call to the ranger on the north side trails is also a good idea. West Frazier Mine Road, Lockwood Valley, etc.
 
I'm not going to be able to make it on 12/12 however I am planning to head up there Sunday 12/5 (can you say thread hijack) If it's closed then maybe head up to Arrowhead along the Cleghorn ridge, Pilot Rock, Pinnacles, etc. Email me at deeeja@aol.com if you want to go 12/5.

BTW still haven't decided if I'll take the Cruiser or the Mini....Cruiser has locking diffs and ground clearance....Mini has heated seats and a supercharger....
 
Hello to all
I stopped into Gorman today on my way back for SF/Bay. It would apper that the Jack In The Box that is in Gorman closed or moved but we will meet at MC DONALD'S

Will call
And might pre-run with dave
 
Count me in for this weekend w/ Silvercruiser. I'll most likely be in for the 12th as well... Do we have a count on how many may attend the 12th? Just wondering, ran it on a night run w/ LA TLCA, 20 rigs or so and it took 4+ Hrs... Could be a long run with a large group or inexperienced.

I was in that area Sunday 11/28. Met a bunch of CJ's and other J**ps at the trailhead for Lockwood but I was "discouraged" from tagging along. I did stop at the ranger station and they told me all of the gates are open from the Lockwood trailhead to the top of Alamo Mt loop. There is not really any snow to speak of (just a little bit on the north slopes in the shadows) but there is a lot of ice and frost. I did venture to the top of Frazier Mt (8000 ft) via 8N12, it was 22 F with a 35 MPH NW wind. I'ed like to join you folks on Dec 12. I'am a new FJ62 cruizer owner but have 10+ yrs experience with my G***d C****kee. My rig has EMU, 31x10.5 BFG AT's, a bull bar, winch, Kaymar rear, but open diffs (not for long!!)
