john bull is right behind my house. I ran it in a bone stock bronco II with a carb and 30" tires. count me in. let me know what time and wair to meet. are you thinkin east to west or west to east? the east end of the trail is easyer for people to find.

is this a run that I could make in my Jimmy? I am pretty sure the answer is yes as the trails in Big Bear aren't too bad. I am looking to take the family out. I have a detroit rear and LSD in the front but I kow how to drive it. From what you described earlier, I should be just fine.

Well......I jus looked at the forecast and for the next 10 days, it will be in the upper 30's to lower 40's in Big Bear at night. I have no top, doors or heater. I may be out if this stays a night run. I wanted to take the family and they are not cool with turning into ice cubes. I will keep an eye and see if anything changes. I am down for a run this weekend and if John Bull could be during the day.........

Damn, all these night runs. I thought June 27 was going to be the 2N17X run. Did you guys decide to do this instead? I did JB a while back when I had good tires & a rear locker. Made it thru with only a hint of clutch smell left in the cab. Now with no lockers & crap tires it might be more challenging, but I can't make it if it's a night run.






OK, just caught up on my reading, so I know what's going on. Are any of you guys interested in wheeling during the day on either that saturday or sunday? I don't want to be "that guy" on JB so I guess i'd be better off on the other trails up there. Man, sometimes I wish I'd left roctaco as it was and just threw a front locker in.

its ok if you want to throw rocks at me.... I used to be an all star pitcher and outfielder that no one would run on. I can throw back and hit accurately...:D No doubt in my rigs ability. looking at the 10 day forecast on my iPhone says there is a high that is warm enough but the low is in the 30's and 40's. That is too freakin cold. I love night runs and will go on every one I can as long as I am not going to freeze. Lets do 2N17X this weekend at night :D

Well nobody showed up.....just me & redtoyo.we don't know how to get there so where goin home

I pulled up to the dump around 7:40ish and didn't see a soul. I waited around a few minutes then figured everyone headed up the trail.
I saw PSYCHOFAB and co. on the trail so we ran it by ourselves. Made pretty good time through there, good meeting you guys and too bad we missed the rest of you guys...maybe part 2 is in order :grinpimp:
