The IE Meet & Greet is having it's first wheeling trip this weekend! 
We will be meeting at the Discovery Center Located at: 40971 North Shore Drive/ Hwy 38, Fawnskin CA 92333 @ 9:00am Sunday Morning and heading out to the trails from there.
Be sure to bring:
Spare tire (Full size)
Lug Wrench
Recovery straps
Basic hand tools
Extra fluids (Engine oil, ATF, Coolant)
Also:
Camera(s)
Cooler with snacks and drinks for lunch
Water, soda, juice whatever
Sunscreen
Hat
Sunglasses
You get the idea, this should be a fun day of wheeling for everyone.

Big bear wheeling ...
Howdy folks -- I am sure this has been asked before: how tough are these trails and how long is your usual day ? I have a STOCK 2000 XJ and do not want to get it too beat up (daily driver). I use my '95 YJ for the rocky/muddy stuff; but it needs a radiator right now.
What are your 2 top trail choices ? Just downloaded a map of the area.

you'll be fine with your stock jeep. Alphas jeep is not lifted and he said hes made it through it all up their. You have multiple choices on paths to take. His is his DD also. You should definitely make a day out of it and head up for the day. This is our first organized run and would love to have a half way decent turn out.

Last time I ran Gold Mountain backwards, North to South. Made it through without too much trouble, though it is easier to slide down an obstacle than climb up. I have not done John Bull, at stock height there would be too many hang ups.

I was thinking of going with Gold Mountain, South to North. I have also been informed that there will be the largest Enduro motorcycle event in Big Bear this weekend as well. We'll just try not to run any over.

hey alpha, what do you think about the idea of setting up a once a month group trail run.
i like that theres a mix of rigs in the group, stockers to mild built.

Big bear wheeling
Going to attempt to put on my gas tank skid this SAT and possibly tow hitch (if it comes) -- if all goes well, I might drive up on Sunday.
If trail is too rough for stock, maybe I will see if someone wants a passenger ??
Plan on putting on a 2" OME lift hopefully at the end of summer ....
