Thanks for the advice guys, I'm going to talk more with my friend about the potential problems with the CRV. Also just to note I'll be in an offroad tacoma, so I'll be fine, the friend was planning on taking their CRV.
Ya, we had racetrack, teakettle and ubehebe crater on the list already. I'll look into lippencott mine road.
Okay not sure we will be able to do that one on this trip, one of the cars will be a stock awd crv so I don't think it fair well on that type of trail.
Ya, that looks amazing and is...
@64Trvlr Thanks for your advice. I should probably update my initial post with more detail. Currently I plan to use ham as a way to connect to others when overlanding/offroading and to connect to other information like weather. So talking to others in my group, talking to spotter, receiving...

Edit: After reading a lot of advice and reading more information on my own I felt I should add more information to my initial post.
Use case: Talking to others while...
The Sierra is definitively a place I need to look into more. Jawbone canyon to Lake isabella does look like it would be a good time, and ya I think I was a bit confused on where Mendocino is when I made this post because it is far too north to be central coast haha.
I'm wanting to get more into overlanding and I'm looking for suggestions on places to go near me. So far I've seen a few places in Big Sur and heard of some places in Mendocino. Any suggestions for where I should start?
Location: Monterey county CA
Rig: currently using a 98 SR5 tacoma, but I'm currently looking at upgrading to new trd off road tacoma
Overlanding Experience Background: I've done a good amount of tent camping at campsites that had bathrooms/water/paved roads. Part of why I'm looking at upgrading...
