I'm from SoCal, have a lot of family in NorCal too so I've spent some time there. You wheel a lot out there?

Unfortunately not, I bought my jeep 3 months before I moved out here. Felt like I should have a sturdy 4x4 for the winter season.
I attended San Diego Mesa college for a few years and own a '86 Toyota pick up with 32s and a lift. Used to wheel that through the desert east on the 40. That's where my desire to wheel started. Lol

Rock on. I went to Cal State Northridge. You'll really like the mountains and trails here. Your jeep is already ready for 90% of the trails out here so upgrades here and there will help that much more.

There will be so many trail runs this year, probably more than you can handle. It'll be a fun summer all around.

Look up left hand canyon. That's pretty close as well. It's still open, but could be challenging in some areas with a stock jeep.

Thanks! I'll look it up. Would you suggest waiting till I throw a lift and such before jumping on left hand? I'm still pretty new and don't want to try and swim before I learn how to doggy paddle. lol

Only way to learn is to jump in. But I wouldn't suggest going unprepared. Take someone with you that knows what they're doing. At least have a second vehicle or winch. And on the snow thing, in Colorado you can get it all year round, although rare. And in some places up high it just never melts.

Me and Jeremy(dogger15) used to wheel with this guy in a stock Cherokee and I never knew how capable they were till I watched him time after time get by things I thought he'd struggle with. The best thing you can do is just get out and see, you'll be able to do a lot.

Ya, think I'll stay in the tamer trails and get my wheeling legs.
That's awesome about the snow, big fan.

A lift isn't needed on most of it. Learning how to drive (without breaking stuff lol) will be key.
