Lisa and I are heading out. Going to run up Coxy Truck Trail (3N14) to Fawnskin then over to Murray's. We'll probably get there between 3-4pm if anyone wants to stop in for a drink.

What a day! First off the Jeep handled great! What a difference from stock. So much more enjoyable to wheel. Everything was going smooth, we were making great time, then the last 1/4 mile a WJ with us lost all function in the tranny. Thats when things got a little crazy... We had to chain 3 rigs together to get him out and he blew a bead twice... once in the worst spot possible. When we left, my steering wheel was at a 90 degree angle ... bent my drag link... death wobble became apparent and my traction control light came on... I’ll put together some pics ... Fun day.

Oh man. Last time we saw that dude, his rear wheels were suspended off the ground by his hitch on a rock and his LC was perpendicular to the trail. Kind of a shit show. They’re probably still out there.

The trails in Big Bear on the weekends are filled with this kind of stuff. I don't have the patience to deal with it a lot of times. If I do run any of them I try for midweek. Then you're practically all alone. I almost got hit head on by a guy in an F350 yesterday that was hauling ass through a blind section of Coxy truck trail. SxS are even worse. I like to go fast as much as the next guy but there is a time and place for it.

I can't tell you how many time I've come around a corner and find bikes or side by's flying along the trail.... Their eye's get HUGE when they see my Jeep in their way....

We got delayed a fair amount by these guys and a different group on Dishpan. C’est la vie. We had fun and got through with no major issues.

Looks like a good time.... bummer about the sidewall... do you know how it happened?

Honestly it was leaking so slowly I had no idea until it was flat this morning . We aired up and drove back from BB to Lake arrowhead .. no issues and leak didn’t show up on TPMS . Was really slow and required spray bottle with soap to identify
