To get to San Gabriel OHV: Take 210 to Azusa, then take Hwy 39 North into the forest and to the San Gabriel OHV Area Entrance Station. As far as travel time, I wouldn't know, but I'd guess 45 mins.

You takin' your 2wd up there? You know, a few of us wouldn't mind taggin' along if you are.

Mike,
Where are you??

*SCEXPLORER* · 12-24-2001, 12:30 PM

Ohh yah. That would be great. I haven't been offroading yet with my truck and wat to do just some easy runs before I drive it on the offroad route to Vegas or something like that. I think my friend with his 4wd 4-runner may come too. Do you think my 2wd can hang there on some easy trails?

OffRoadin44 · 12-24-2001, 02:58 PM

hey i might be in well ya that would be a great outing. Let me know when
dave

Jefe · 12-24-2001, 04:08 PM

Ray,
As far as I know San Gabriel OHV is just an open area that isn't very large. There are no trails, and the only reason 4x4's go is for the mud or sand. I'm sure you could have a blast even in a 2wd, but don't be following me

That is unless you want a picture like so: :redexp:---

*SCEXPLORER* · 12-24-2001, 05:33 PM

Jefe,

Is that a challange?j/k Oh yah, i'm planning on sometime this week but i have to report to jury duty on wed. so if i get off i'll want to go either fri 28th or Sat. 29th cus I'm leaving for Vegas on the 30th. One more question, I want to install a no slip powertrax. Where did u get yours and how much?

OffRoadin44 · 12-24-2001, 06:16 PM

hey jeff arent there any eaisier trails by you that we didnt do that he could instead of boring flat land ohv. there was that one at the start of the first trail that went the other way where we aired down wasnt there.
dave

Mike 92 XLT · 12-24-2001, 06:48 PM

Aw man, I just looked at the dates you guys wanted to go. The 28th and 29th are the two days I'll be up in Monterey. We'll have to try for something next week. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd. I think I'll be back from Tahoe on the 1st and will probably be interviewing on the 4th. Even if we all just meet somewhere for lunch or dinner, that'd be cool.

peace

Mike

Jefe · 12-25-2001, 09:58 PM

Ray,
Friday or Saturday are going to be hard, if not imposible to get away, so that's probably a no-go. Challenge?? As long as you're the one getting muddy hooking up the strap, I'm up for the entertainment.

As far as the locker, I got mine at National Drivetrain in Vegas (well I thought it was, but they don't have anything in Vegas). Anyway, I think it was $375 + shipping.

Dave,
Yes, there are quite a few '2wd' trails around here, but what's the fun in that??

Mike,
Work starts again on the 2nd. But a dinner at, say, Fudruckers sounds good

OffRoadin44 · 12-25-2001, 11:46 PM

alright sounds good ummmmm..... what day and time?
dave

you and mike work that out since you have the buissy scheduels and just tell me when.

*SCEXPLORER* · 12-26-2001, 12:51 AM

Man, hmmmm. ok sometime in the next year. i want to wheel with people that know wat's going on.

Mike 92 XLT · 01-01-2002, 06:30 PM

Hey everyone. How's this week looking? I figure I'll be free for dinner pretty much any night this week except for Saturday. If this is too short notice, no problem. We'll just have to get together again this summer.

peace

Mike

OffRoadin44 · 01-01-2002, 08:47 PM

peace

Mike

*SCEXPLORER* · 01-02-2002, 09:36 PM

Well i just came back from Vegas and my I say that my first wheeling experience was great. However, my inexperience cost me. I gunned it in a ditch cus I didn't want to get stuck. As a result, I hit the lip and gained air about 4ft off the ground. Man what a rush! The auburn worked great in the sand. My friend with a 4wheel drive 4-Runner was getting stuck while I was just flying through with ease. At the end, my far seems fine except that now my front wheels are toe out. I'm thinking its my blown lower ball joints. Nothing seems bent. Do any of you have an idea?

OffRoadin44 · 01-02-2002, 11:19 PM

no no real idea but i could be the ball joints or you just threw the alignment off. if ya wanna meet up with us for some grub tomorrow night you can at the fudrucers in pasadena off the 210 at michalinda and foothill. Get off at michalinda and make two lefts off of the freeway and you cant miss it, it is in with sears. we are meeting there at 6 hope to see ya.

*SCEXPLORER* · 01-02-2002, 11:36 PM

I have to go out with my girlfriend but maybe I can force her to come with me. From LA couldn't i just take the 110N to pasadena. Do I hit 210 from the 110N?

OffRoadin44 · 01-03-2002, 12:10 AM

you can take the 110 but it ends at the beginning of pasadena so get off the 110 at orange grove and take a left onto orange grove and follow that untill you hit colorado (make a right) and take colorado to mitchalinda. make a left on mitchalinda under the freeway and make another left on foothill then you should have seen fudruckers from the stop light at mitchalinda and foothill and make a right into the parking lot. hope to see ya there.
