NorCal: Signal Peak -- Sept 13th

[spinuck]

Man! This sounds like a great opportunity to meet the NorCal crew!! But I don't even have basic gear yet, and I'm still on stock 255 shoes! :doh:

I dunno'.... sounds kinda' sketch for me, doesn't it? I should probably wait for somethin a bit more... "n00b-friendly"? :idontknow:


p.s. I see Eddie says, "a stock JK Rubi could do it with ease" - that is probably also considering a more experienced driver

With only one "easy" trail under my belt, I feel I should pass on this "difficult" one, at least until I can get a few "mediums" in. I don't have this avatar for nutin'

Have fun!!
:beer::beer:

We had a stock Sahara run it with us last year no prob, and the driver had little off road experience. You should be ok. The trail is pretty short, you could take the Pierce OHV loop to get more wheeling in. There's a couple water crossings (small streams this time of year) and a couple little rocky patches, still doable by stock rigs.

Can't wait Scott, thanks for doing this. I'm in for camping Saturday, maybe put an * next to the name of each person who's planning on camping Saturday so we know who's going to be there.

Just picked up a new Phantom 3 pro so I'll be bring it out and setting some sweet aerial photography of the run

No worries at all. If you want to come out feel free. Do you have any skids in the Jeep?

If anything we can always hook up tow strap and pull you out.

I have not personally run Signal Peak, however, everything I have seen shows a stock Jeep can get through.

We had a stock Sahara run it with us last year no prob, and the driver had little off road experience. You should be ok. The trail is pretty short, you could take the Pierce OHV loop to get more wheeling in. There's a couple water crossings (small streams this time of year) and a couple little rocky patches, still doable by stock rigs.

How can anyone say NO to support like this!? :grouphug:

Put me down for the whole fam (Me+Wife+JeepDog) :biggrinbounce:

No ProTek yet, I am still bone stock except for an exhaust. :cheesy: :driving:

I have this same DJI Phantom 3 Pro too. I wont be bringing mine though. But I can be a backup pilot if you need shots of YOU and your rig on the trail.


p.s. Man, talk about diving (or is that dRiving) in head first! "That's right I started on "difficult" ratings...what!? LOL :cheesy:

Sounds great, as soon as Scott see this he'll update the list.

I appreciate the offer but I should be good :thumb:

I haven't been on this trail but from what I hear it's a fairly easy one, you'll do just fine and any help you need we'll be there for you

It does have two cameras. One is POV with goggles then there is a gimbal mount with a GoPro attachment. I have control of pitch, roll and yaw on my controller :thumb:

Awe that's too bad. You've got the coolest drone and the coolest Jeep and both are pieces :cheesy:

Remember, Eddie probably looked "hard" for difficult lines on this trail and you see that he barely found one. You will be fine! Glad to hear your coming.

Who said it didn't work? Mine works just fine....not sure where that came from...:thinking:

I hear ya BC, my hesitation was from looking up the trail on "EveryTrail", and noting waypoint #2 :

Gets Tough
Bear right across open area and begin rocky climb. This is toughest part of trail.
Rollovers have occurred here, so be careful.

...but Eddie's comments on his own video help alleviate those concerns.

Thanks again for the invite! :thumb:
