Actually I can made the 28th work if we aim for like 11am-12pm, I need to do some work in the morning.

I don't think you need sliders for Signal Peak, but my sliders are coming in this week. I could be wrong as I haven't seen the trail in a while

Dope! Let me know if you guys head out. I’m setting up a few day trips/photo shoots next month for content I’ll post up dates and times later this month.

That works for me. Post a time and location and I'll be there.

Sweet! Lets do it.

Awesome, let's meet at Shell by the Bass Pro/Walmart Plaza, address: 5500 Schriber Way, Rocklin, CA 95677, (38.798831, -121.204737) at 11:30pm on Friday May 28th.

We'll take 80 up to exit 164, Eagle Lakes Road.

I have a compressor, airing down is recommended as the beginning is bit bumpy due to small rocks. Not necessary, just more comfortable.

@Sparky 97Runner also anyone else that's interested, let me know so we can wait

Doing Sourgrass Sat 5/29 ... details at https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3637268-post194.html

Has anyone been up that way lately and know if the snow (at peak) has melted off?

Most likely, took Carlyle Rd about 3 weeks back and Signal Peak looked clear. Plus I was at Silver Lake by Kirkwood, and did MET back to 50, there was no snow except tiny little dirt patches last weekend.

It’s been a minute since I’ve been up what size tires are you guys running?

That works for me. See you then!

I'm running 285/75r16 (32.8"). I watched some videos of other people running it with similar tire size in the last couple of years and it looked pretty straight forward depending on which line you choose. We didn't have much of a winter so hopefully the trail is not too much different.

Running 285/70/17 Toyo AT3 a load range C. Previously 275/70/17 KO2 load range E.

I'd say Toyo AT3 is amazing on regular road shitty weather, no hydro planing, amazingly confident in shitty road condition. Toyo AT3s have given me massive confidence in slush, heavy rain, and water puddles at high speed.

KO2s amazing in shitty off-road, but has issue with wet roads.. not as much as stock tho. KO2 has more forward bite, and would do amazing things in deep snow, like everyone is stuck, but you just go by no problem.

All tires have positives and negatives, size/type, obv size gives you clearance and contact patch but MPG issues. Never tried a Mud terrain, mud is fun for a bit, but I want the contact patch for rocks.. really my perfect off road is Moab and few Tahoe trails, I'd rather have extra rubber touching the road/rocks/sand. My 4runner is a daily driver, but I work from home, so it's just a get food or get to the off-road location rig.

More to add, the only time I needed a tug on KO2s was when I high centered on a tree stump hidden under snow (yes it was the gas tank, the bane of 4runners), on Toyo AT3s I needed 3 tugs/rescues in the snow. AT3s in snow The moment you know you're stuck - YouTube

I am torn between Toyo, KO2, and Falken AT3 at 33 or 34.. then again everyone that goes Cooper never goes back.

You’ll be good, worse case one of use can pull you through. Hopefully I’ll have my winch hooked up by then.

Great option tires! I daily mine with Ironman MT 315/70/17. Rain season they suck but turn around time is quick for a spare and less than $200 is perfect for me. I’ve replaced a brand new KO2 shortly after a trip on my last rig super pissed about it.
