Shook out the new Lift this weekend

PCH4R

Took the 4R up to Saddleback Mountain/Santiago Peak/Radio Towers in SoCal to shake out the lift, tires, skids, etc.

It's a good 25 mile fireroad from Ortega/North Main Divide to Silverado Canyon/Maple Springs Road, with a few extra-credit sections to play with MTS/CC/Locker. Not my favorite run, but proximity wins!

Haven't been up there for 2 years, definitely more rutted and more rockslides = Very Bumpy! Came across a dozen or so vehicles, few hikers, and a few motos. Everyone friendly and out having a good time.

Radflos did great!!! I was super lazy and didnt air down... so the Load Es were at 41psi!!! And it was still smoother than last time with stock setup and air down!

Definitely having some rubbing under compression on drivers side, and I swear I was hearing rubbing (or something) on the front/rears during extension.

Didn't have a co-driver or another tag-along vehicle, so no external videos.

Here are a few pictures. Was a bit hazy, couldn't see Catalina from the Radio towers.

Santiago Peak

Nice photos. This road is close enough to me to venture down there. I lived in Foothill Ranch over a dozen years ago. I used to ride Whitting Canyon Trail on my mountain bike.
I think I see San Clemente Island in the last one. :nod:
