Suggestions PLS = Easy Trails that I can hit

[TheWraith]

[MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION] Haven't ran that trail yet, let us know how it went/is. Ok looking at topo/sat maps looks like it might be similar to cleghorn, as in running along a mountain side. Looks to run along a few washes/creeks too. Probably will be hot.

Edit to add end pic at 243, seems there is a gate on the trail to the right. Just shy of 13 miles and an elevation gain of 4100 feet from 74 north to 243.

I'll end up at pine cove Rd ... At the gas station there in idle wild

Bee Canyon Trail was super easy with alot of shooting sites for people who likes to go shoot. But very disheartening to see people leaving soon much trash on the trail and on the shooting sites.

San Jacinto Trail was very tight the last 2 miles before the water crossing. Had maybe 1 tight rutted and very off camber section before the water. The water was a welcome break spot after a very tight and rutted 2miles... The kids enjoyed the water spot; soo much I have to find another place like this....

Video of the water spot:

My babygirl enjoyed it soo much it made my day!!!

But the last 4 miles to end the trail San Jacinto Trail is incredibly rutted. With the 4runner limited front articulation. We were going like 2 mph on some spots ( because I didn't want my babygirl to get motion sickness again ) but my professor in his gladiator said he was only going 8mph thru all the rutted off camber section.

Sounds like a nice trail, when you say narrow, as in bushes/shrubs or canyon walls etc? Sounds like a fun trail anyways. Fun little water spot too.

It's more like bushes/shrubs ... My companions 2 ( Jiujitsu Professor and another /owner of Conde Kona) Jeep Gladiators where going really slow thru some sections because they didn't want to get scratches. This was my main reason I did raptor liner on my paint job ... Scratches doesn't happen anymore ...

[MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION] Trail pinstripes are a badge of honor lol. Man you would cry if you could see my runner. Covered in trail pinstripes! But that is what I bought it for.

Yeah my OCD couldn't handle the pin stripping on my Matte Black paint job. So I raptor liner the whole rig in Super White

Went to cleghorn to stretch out the rear suspension. Didn’t do the whole trail but still had some fun

Little late but 2N10 up in Big Bear is a very easy trail. I even saw a Prius towards the lower half. Some really great views towards the top with some places to stop and BBQ and also do some hiking. I have my route mapped through Gaia, ping me if you would like it.

Here is a view from a trail we hiked toward the top.

Did a solo run up Lytle Creek 3N06 and explored alittle bit. Played in the Creek over some rocks and big rutts.

Was pretty fun having the 4runner stretch it's legs. Couple of times. I actually rubbed the 35's in the front and tucked the 35's in the rear but no rubbing

Might do a run up Lytle creek on Sunday. I have some work to do on the runner on Sat, but I would like to get some fresh air Sunday. I'll update if I go on Sat evening, probably hit it around 11 or so.....

I can't on Sunday... My oldest is turning 17yrs old. I'm spending the day teaching her to drive her soon to be hers / my daily beater. A 2015 Accord EXL and then making the whole family BBQ steaks ... Spend the rest of the day in the pool


Be safe brudda... Take pics of how rutted 3N06A is ... But I thought 3N06B was the harder / rock crawlers type of trail

[MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION] will do, I'm running all stock except for a cheap diy lift and ht tires lol. So not going to crazy. If it's to crowded then I'm bailing. Man I wish I was 17 again, life was so much easier! Tell her happy bday! Have a good bbq and put sunscreen on lol. Good luck with the driving teaching.

ran Cold Water Canyon 3N06A in Lytle Creek and laid my eyes one of the best camping spots in the whole area. Luckily its alittle rutted to get up there. Went up with a guy from Temecula in his hooked up GX470...

ps. disclaimer... We ran the harder lines just to push the rigs.


one of the first obstacle after the creek crossing:

the second obstacle that requires articulation:

heres some pics of the camp spot ( glame shots ):

I might just need to head up there this sat. Looks sweet.

If you go take a spotter with you I know I wish I had one for 3N06A

 

[2TH4IST]

Is it that bad? Or just some flexy areas? Never been so just asking lol. Stock skids and no sliders.

Once you get to the water crossing it’s rutted and rocky. It’s doable with out sliders but in my opinion picking the right line is crucial haha I chickened out cuz I was with my little ones and didn’t wanna risk getting stuck

Good thread!

I've been traveling out to San Bernardino for work a few times a year. I've always wanted to check out some easy trails nearby, and it looks like Sheep Creek Truck Trail is a great Stock 4Runner rental trip!

I did it with no sliders and stock skids but I prob shouldnt have alone. Picking the right line is key here. The second time I did it, it was much easier but still wish I had a spotter.
