Hi Ron, looking forward to this trip. Will be bringing two rigs - myself and my step-dad (he’s not currently a OB member). We also signed up on the FB page.
The girlfriend and I were just out there 2/14 thru 2/16. Camped two nights in Red Canyon and ran the Bradshaw Trail to get to Bombay Beach and back. No signs of any closure, and there were other groups out there as well.
My apologies, I posted the links without checking first. Looks like Wildomar campground is open. It’s a little further south.
Cleveland National Forest - Wildomar Campground
These are in the Elsinore area off Ortega Hwy:
El Cariso - Cleveland National Forest - El Cariso Campground
Blue Jay - Cleveland National Forest - Blue Jay Campground
Falcon - Cleveland National Forest - Falcon Group Campground - Lupine
Hope this helps.
Also, with the adjustable CA’s you can fix the pinion angle on your front drive line. My lift kit only came with adjustable lowers, but I’m adding adjustable uppers for that reason. BleepinJeep has good YouTube video about it.

I got some of my routes from the forums here - https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/forums/overland-bound-routes-downloadable.29/
I also do a lot of my research on trailsoffroad.com - they review trails in all states and have gpx files for all of the trails.
Lytle Creek is close and has some easy trails that are fun and scenic. I also agree with getting a Forest Service map. There are a lot of mapping apps available to help you plan/route your trips.
It will take a few days. When I first signed up I got the approval email right away, but didn’t get access for about a week. You will get another email letting you know when you can start accessing the system.
x2 for Big Bear area. We went up there last week and camped for 2 nights (below Running Springs) and it was incredible to get out of the city! Campgrounds are still closed, but dispersed camping is allowed. We are heading up again next week.
