well it looks like I will be going up on July 25-27th. Migh still try to make it up on this weekend too. Just depends on how the work on my junk goes.

toy huh.

yep toy. I want to keep the Bronco as my prerunner and I do not want to kill the body or worry about it so I bought a smaller trail only vehicle.

will it be a 4 seater?

2 adult seats and 2 kid seats. Kid seats will be changed to adult seats later if I still have it. Probably be full tube by then:thumbup

sweeeeet... cant wait to see it out on those crazy rock trails. :rockon

that thing's gotta be cool!:beer

Nope Rob (Sir Howls-A-Lot)...think MLK weekend Big Bear :D
I'm going up the weekend before you for the day.

any Broncos going with all those Chevys?

Let me tell ya...Los Coyotes Rocks.

Not too bad for a day trip. Weather was almost perfect...mechanincals were kept to a minumum...

So I'm saying if you don't go next weekend... YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON A GREAT TRIP!


El Hill still got the better of me (this time) ...but gearing and lockers weren't my downfall....It was my dang receiver hitch (hangs way too low for the angle of ascent). got really tempted to remove it and finish the climb.

los coyotes was closed due to a fire.

no alternative wheeling place???

It is open this weekend. I will be up there friday afternoon till sunday. Not taking the Bronco though. I will be testing my new "buggy". There is a group from PBB going. If anyone else wants to come out, they should. Maybe I will see some of you there?

I bet you didn't see anyone from here.....there.....Am I right?

how'd the buggy do?

Nope...No One from Here:shrug

I was impressed with the buggy...being that it was it first time out. Need to finish it up and get it on 37's. I have pics I will post up as soon as I can get time to update my site.

I will see if I can link a pic from another if it works I will post more

I will be in Big Bear this weekend:D

awesome work on the buggy JC... that is f'n saweeeeeeeeet...
great pics.... :beer :beer

Dayum JC. you been hanging with the benders...first time out of the box and you roll it! I know you were testing the new cage to see if it was safe for the family....


Bewareof peguins.....is that who I think it is?? Lance /Toyota
how'd you make that big turnwith the trailer? OK?

Thanks guys.

Yes that is Lance. The turn was a big non issue. There was plenty of room:thumbup We were seeing what the limits were before going over :toothless . I drove out of all of them though:thumbup no assistance needed. I was actually taking it pretty easy on the cage...I still have a few tubes to put in before it is the way I want it. It is better and stronger built (as is) then a lot of cages I see out there though

i know its still under construction but i have to ask.. what kind of shocks are those..

<Runs away> :histerica

bwahahahahahahaha I was waiting for that one. But I do have to say...I have removed one of the rear shocks (mount and all) and cant tell the diffrence between the side with and the side without. Thats how good of a shock they are:lolup

i put them on my 4 door and i hate them..
