Trying to see if anyone is interested in going to big bear. Should be a decent amount of snow on the ground for a good time.
looking to get there early in the day and back by the evening.

Sweet!!! That makes two so far. Don't be scared guys Im not planning on anything crazy unless people want too. I have tons of recovery gear and a winch on my rig. And no one ever gets left behind.

I'm at the bottom of the mountain. Count me in too haha
 
Whereabouts were you planning on meeting up/running?

I was thinking depending where we are all coming from we can meet at the bottom of the mountain, or just meet at the discovery center parking lot. I'm flexible by all means. Any suggestions? I can get a address to the discovery center for anyone that is not familiar with it's location. As far as what I'm thinking of running i haven't set a route down but it won't be any black diamond trails, or even blue for that matter. I will work on a route tonight and post it.

I was planning to meet a buddy up there Sunday. I will meet up with you guys at the Discovery center. Not sure if the snow cover is very thick, Gold Mountain is right around the corner.

2014 Warthog- Gonna get to test out that new ARB!!!

Sweet!! Yes good time to test his locker lol. I got a buddy coming in his fj also.
 
Does any one know if chains full b needed? Debating on if I should run to Walmart and scoop some up. Or if anyone knows a spot I can get them for cheaper the $75.
 
Chains

I went up hwy 18 to Arrowhead last year and when I came to the "chains required" check point they waved me through.

I wouldn't run out and buy them. Sunday is looking clear in big bear so roads should have minimal ice. You are suppose to carry chains during winter months on montain roads. Myself, I only have some for my wife's 2wd car not my runner.
 
I just went there. I will post a trip report tomorrow.

If there is no new about then the 4wd trails will probably be icy by next weekend. There was 6-14" of new snow on trails near Green Valley Lake & Big Bear camping and 4WD.

We did 2N54 (fail), 2N06X (made it), 3N93 (made it, never again, wow)

Sweet thanks Brian. And yes should be icy. In my reference to roads I meant paved roads, not dirt roads having minimal ice. Sounds like you had a great time up there.
 
[MENTION=118023]626 4runner[/MENTION] hey bud, I have a pair of chains I could sell to you if you're interested. PM me.

This trip sounds fun! My runner has never seen snow since I bought it 2 years ago. I am ready to see some snow and have some fun! I am trying to see if I can make this trip with you guys!
 
Hey guys new to the forum, I'm in as of now. I have a 96 4runner. Locked in the rear with skids and sliders don't believe I would have any troubles. Would love to go if it's cool
