I’ll be at Holister Hills staging area by the ranger station on the 28th. I’ll be there from 10am to 10:30. In my silver JK, with black top. Aside from a front bumper and winch my rig is stock. I’ll be hanging out and if anyone wants to join up for some intermediate trails see you there between 10 and 10:30 on the 28th.
See you then

Hi guys, I’m going on the 27th w/ my family, in our JKUR Anvil grey, w/ 35’s and likely a rudolph nose w/ antlers, and Xmas lights on the spare - plus a friend in his new grey 4Runner TRD Pro. He’s never been off-road in it so we’ll be on beginner and intermediate. I think we’ll be rolling into the pay area at 10:15-10:30... We’ll be on FRS radios, channel 4. My name’s Mike. We’ll air down by the school house after paying. Hope to see you guys! :thumb:

My father-in-law and I had a great time wheeling with you gents -- even with the difficulties coordinating :crazyeyes:

MonoJoe takes Truck Hill with a stock (except winch/bumper) JKUR! :rock:

We'll have to wheel here again in the New Year!

Wow! I saw you guys from the obstacle course doing that. Never seen anyone do that hill before... and it gives me the willies looking at it. Well done. :clap2::thumb:

If you don’t mind my asking, how did you do it? 4 hi/Lo and lock/unlock and what gear? Thanks!!

Oh shoot — wish we would have known you were there! Anyway we took Ruvicon’s advice and ran 4-low unlocked. I chose to do it in second gear whereas the others I believe used first gear (correct me if I’m wrong guys).

Gaining elevation to achieve CB radio contact with MonoJoe. Now able to communicate, we coordinated meeting at the top!

I’m glad we finally met up. Had a good time looking over your rig (Astroman). Very nice! We do need to get a NorCal group together in 2018 for sure.

Here’s a pic of me coming down one of the “un-mapped” black diamond trails just near the top by Hector Heights Overlook. It’s an off camber left turn.
