    Best/Favorite Weekend Trips (Friday night~Sunday Night) from the Bay Area?

    any other ideas? Would like to take the old man somewhere for Father's day this weekend. Bay Area is going to be crazy hot so it would be nice to go somewhere a bit cooler. Looks like most of the Stanislaus Forest is still closed. Anyone know anywhere good up by Shasta?

    Region-specific Overland Routes

    I'm finding it a little hard to find good routes in my area (SF Bay Area) and join up with local members. The Downloadable routes section is great, but a lot of that stuff is across the country from me. The Regional West Coast section is great, but not a whole lot of activity in there and it's...

    Best/Favorite Weekend Trips (Friday night~Sunday Night) from the Bay Area?

    Haha I figured that had to be an OB member. Your rig looks great - I love a 100 series with bumpers. I actually pulled over because my temp gauge was starting to creep up :grimacing: Got a new fan clutch and it all seems to be fine now. Usal Beach is a decent drive, but 100% worth it. Just got...

    The White Whale - '97 FZJ80 build

    Then this past weekend we went out to Usal Beach as recommended by several OB members. An incredible trip, and I can't wait to go back. The LC wouldn't fit :( The trail out to the beach is about an hour. Well-maintained, a little muddy and steep in spots. Anything with decent ground...

    The White Whale - '97 FZJ80 build

    I've done two trips now in the rig. 2 weeks ago the gf and I went to Prewitt Ridge near Big Sur. Since the 1 is closed we had to drive up from the East. Really fun spot with some great views! Not my legs :wink:

    Looking for a first time day trip in northern california

    Last weekend my girlfriend and I went to Prewitt Ridge near Big Sur. Highway 1 is closed down there, but you can get to it from the East (101). It's about 2.5 hours from the bay area to the Fort Hunter Ligett Army base and then another 45 mins - 1 hour on well-maintained dirt roads up to the...

    Best/Favorite Weekend Trips (Friday night~Sunday Night) from the Bay Area?

    Thinking of heading up there this weekend. Couple of questions: 1) can anyone just drive through the Army Base? 2) Is it just dispersed camping up there? Can you make fires with a permit?

    The White Whale - '97 FZJ80 build

    Mounted my Tepui Kukenam Ruggedized last night. Really excited to test it out this weekend: I had to mount the front brackets on the skinny cross bars of my baja rack. Planningto get some longer brackets soon so I can straddle 2 bars at once. Seems to be solid after several freeway trips...

    Need a roof rack powder coated

    Thanks I didn't even know bay area metal fab existed, and it's way closer to my house than where I was going before (Melrose in Oakland). I'll give Jerry a call. Thanks!

    Need a roof rack powder coated

    Hi guys. I recently bought this baja rack used. It's in great structural shape but has a few surface rust patches where the original powder coat is flaking off. I'd like to have the whole thing blasted and powder coated, but the local place I took my wheels to wants $250. This sounds like a lot...

    I'm good man. I like the truck! I'm just getting my FZJ80 build going but we should hit some trails some time. I'm waiting for the next bay area meet up where I can meet some of you guys.

    The White Whale - '97 FZJ80 build

    it's been a long week! After getting the new wheels powder coated and the new tires on, I had to do a full detail. My paint has been in decent shape since I got the truck, but it was totally flat and rough to the touch. It almost felt like a chalk board. If my hands were grimy, the paint would...
