    Looking for recommendations on Eastern Sierra routes (off 395)

    Supposedly there is enough room to turn around 5 or so vehicles. Roof height is more of a concern for me... It comes up in google maps 36.7515661,-118.0513667 is were I think the opening is. I went up the canyon at 36.7468261,-118.051742 by mistake last year. There is some cool equipment up...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    When dry I am rarely ever in 4wd on the normal roads and trails in the area. The only exceptions I can think of are Indian Ridge Trail, 4S06B due to washouts, and side routes on Old Idyllwild road out of Banning. I would keep the speeds down on San Jacinto Truck trail as it is well traveled on...

    What's your experience with OZTENT RV Series tent(s)?

    I really liked them after seeing one set up in the dessert winds as I struggled with my Coleman Cabin tent. I think it was a 3 or 4 as it has plenty of room as a tent alone. It looked like you could stand up and move around a bit. The people across from us at expo had what I think was a 1. The...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    I wouldn't recomend it. The rest "should be easy but maybe a little bumpy with water run off.

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    If you want excitement and have a capable vehicle than take the ridge. The ridge trail is not marked on google maps, but you can see it on Satellite. I did the ridge in the Dodge. I had trouble getting through 4 or 5 sections and added a little bit of rock graphics to the paint. The other trail...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    I dont know the condition of the control road. From the school to the first camp spots might be 1 to 2 hours depending on your speed.

    Looking for recommendations on Eastern Sierra routes (off 395)

    Gear Grinders is working on Sherman Pass Jeep Trail 7/08. There are lots of fun roads in the Mammoth area. If you turn down Benton Crossing and then veer left down the dirt road. There are a few tubs back there if you know where to look and a few nice spots to camp. I don't know what this winter...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    Part two - Continue on San Jacinto Truck Trail - Right turn on Indian Creek Truck Trail (might be labeled 4S05) - Keep right at Indian Creek rd - A little further up you have a choice of taking the more direct route of 4S05 to H243 to the right or the little longer route of 4S06 which also goes...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    Part 1 Okay, this is from maps so take it for what it is. - Take H74 from Hemet - Right turn on the Old Control Road. (this is the only one I have not personally been on) - Keep left at Red Hill (it probably won't look like a turn). The road to the right here will take you through the School for...

    Trail Run and Overnight Camp in Idlewild, Ca (7/2)7/3-7/4

    There are two good spots on San jacinto Truck Trail about a third of the way between the San Jacinto river crossing and where it exits to Pine Cove rd. There are a few places further up toward Pine Cove that could be made to work. they just are not as established. There are a some fantastic...

    Let's air it out

    I ran the Smittybilt 2781 and modified it for on-board air. I had it mounted next to a air tank where the spare tire used to sit. Two issues, it doesn't have a good filter, and it didn't like being submerged. I bought another as it filled the tires up real well, it is cheep for the CFM, and it...

    No problems that I saw. I put it in with clear silicone. They sit under the rear hatch when closed. I wanted to add a LED to the underside of the hatch to light camp when open. There wasn't the flush mount offerings there is now so I never got it done.

    since the rear barn doors a hollow fiberglass, you can do a lot of neat things to them. I have seen them opened for storage. The best mod I did was bought cup holers from a boat shop and drilled the top of the door to counter sink them in.
