Look for a trail buddy

[SadRobot]

For Otay Mountain Truck Trail? When? I’ll see what I can do hahaha

What about the week of Xmas? I assume a lot of people have off of work that week?

Gives you enough time to get some skids on that Jeep!

I too am from North County. Vista to be exact. I have a couple friends that I go out with at least once a month. Trying to get something together for this weekend if you're around.

I also live in North County (just north of Carlsbad Village) and I've wheeled with many on this thread - these are good folks to be on the trail with. I'm definitely up for some wheeling - lately work has had me slammed but I'll post to the group the next time I have a trip planned. Likely sometime in January.

BTW - I'm installing a lift this weekend and will have a Rubicon Xtreme Recon suspension (I believe it's Mopar's 1.5" lift) that I'll be getting rid of for a song and a dance. Let me know if you're interested and I can set it aside for you.

That'll be nice for the sport man.

@Craigger you doing the lift yourself? Or taking to a shop?

Doing it myself. I'm kind of stupid that way...

Not at all! Take some pics or video.

Yeah I'm debating doing mine or paying someone. My garage is too full and my driveway wouldn't be ideal due to slope.

Let me know if you need any tools (or help). A huge torque wrench is necessary.

I’ll be looking forward to your build thread, D.

I wheel in this area of the south east corner of California often. Some times a couple times in a week. The Picacho mountains, Oregon and Winterhaven are stock Jeep friendly for 90% of the trails.

I winter in the Yuma Arizona area. I also wheel farther west at times. There is a group of us that wheel together. Usually a couple other Jeeps and mine. I wheel with a guy from this forum that as Jeeped this area for 40+ years.

There are some very cool things to see like the Valley of Names. This is an area that people have used rocks to spell out their names or messages in the Valley.

Google Maps Valley of the Names

make sure you put on satellite view and zoom in.

I will be out in that area in the middle of January through the end of March. We also go to Glamis Dunes, The Mud caves, and Big Bear if the snow is gone.

That's the way to do it but I'm going to be popping in and out for errands. I'll definitely post some pics of the process!

Much appreciated! I should be good but I'll let you know if I get stuck!

Once you start getting quotes for installation, doing it yourself starts looking better and better
