Joshua Tree 3/17-3/19

I will also be leaving on friday afternoon and I am flexible with the departure time as well.

Perhaps we can get a small to decent convoy leaving the corona area, i will be coming from Fullerton so I can exit off the 91 and meet up at whichever meeting spot we pick.

Sorry I put the wrong time. We are trying to depart corona area around 9am. Will that still work?
 
Because Im a young guy/ inexperienced. Will my stock fj80 with 295's be okay? or should I do some upgrades? How is the terrain I mean to ask. Im no bad ass haha just looking to have fun

Leave it stock. There will be trails of all levels and people to help you. You can always upgrade later. :)

hahahha. You'll be fine. Terrain is mostly sandy/rocky but nothing special. I ran most of it in 2wd. There may be some roads that require some work but I personally haven't been on them yet so I can't say for certain. Definitely have some exploring to do myself around here.

With as many people going as there are I'm sure they're will be plenty of new guys to go out with and do easier trails. And if you decide you want to try something more challenging then I'm sure there will be experienced guys willing to take you out and show you the ropes

you're good. to save yourself any future wasted time, just know that land cruiser owners don't ever need to ask this question.
 
I was impressed with the 4-runner gps.. In the same area our group split up.. when the roads didnt meet up where we thought.. the other group radioed the coordinates and i plugged them into the gps.. took us right to them.. the map was also accurate, this was a lightly traveled side trail.

Not a failsafe navigation device.. but definately a good backup..on a side note.. After the trip i upgraded my uhf/vhf radio from the 4watt baofeng to a 25watt portable... much more range... (using roof mounted antenna for both)

Is there a frequency set for the trip?

It seems to work just like you mentioned, I input the coordinates and it showed a nice route. I might end up tagging along with someone just to be on the safe side.
 
I see you're in SD maybe we can caravan to JT. Don't know when you're leaving but I'm leaving early Sat morning.

Anybody from San Diego or close by are welcome. We can meet up early morning Sat and role out. LMK.

Can I caravan with you down to JT? I'm also leaving Saturday morning.

oki this is checkmate then haha..
The wife wont be leaving work till noon that day so we wont be able to convoy with you. No worries tho - we tried
 
Dang been off the forums for a week and I miss the prerun :wow2: haha oh well I trust that you guys found an awesome spot and fun trails!

I'm so ready for this trip, gonna have the carne asada and pollo asada on deck again.
 
Plenty of places off the 62 to meetup along the way before you hit dirt.
Yeah I was thinking corner of dillon rd and 62 as you exit the 10 or corner of 62 and gold crown rd. Either way we'll figure it out.

After studying the map it really doesn't seem all that hard to find the site guys. Id recommend not solely relying on your gps, electronics always have the possibility to fail

It's not hard at all. It's just those first couple turns coming off Gold Crown so you don't get turned around.

Agreed! I'd also recommend going with a group, although it looks simple and easy to find. I've organized tons of runs and at night after someones been working all day. We've had signs put up and only a couple miles off the road with a straight shot and people get lost. It happens. At least in a group if you get lost you can camp with others..haha

Yeah doesn't look difficult from the map. When I first entered the coordinate, it had me coming from the south side off the 10 to cottonwood springs rd to old dale to gold crown. That route looks pretty fun!

It's a fun road. We ran it a couple times last weekend. Little rocky and may need some tire placement so you don't bottom out but I did it in 2wd.

Yay or Nay?

For Saturday Night I have a 110" portable projection screen, LED HD projector, Bluetooth PA speaker and plenty of movies ripped to a HD. Would you want to watch free movies once it gets dark?
