FunN4Lo has been busting my chops for a while now that he thought I was ready to take on the infamous John Bull trail in Big Bear, so last Saturday Bill and I met up with him, Rockrash and j-sack (riding shotgun with Rockrash) to see what it was all about. What a blast, I think this is my new favorite trail. Photos don't do this trail justice - it is rated difficult (triple black diamond on the sign ) and lockers are recommended, although none of have lockers and we didn't have a problem (I even have painted fenders ).













You can't clear this obstacle with 33's without high-centering; 35s just make it

After the trail we visited the little-known Racetrack playa in Big Bear:



On Sunday we went with FunN4Lo to check out some of the Yellow Post sites to plan for future adventures.







We found a water crossing to play in:

If you're interested I have lots more photos here (expand your browser for best viewing).


I know Rockrash got photos and some video that he's going to post, too.


Thanks to FunN4Lo, Rockrash and j-sack for making our first time on John Bull so much fun with so little damage...just a few battle scars to be proud of. Can't wait to go back!

 

Nice job.I've been wanting to check that trail out myself.

 

WOW.... Great Pics.......

 

Thanks for the invite I've given you guys a stock front bumper AND a rear tow hook and this is the thanks I get? Just kidding, I'm just jealous. I really need to get up there and see what it is all about.

 

Good pictures as always from Offtopic. Had a blast on that trip. Can't wait to get up there again.

 

looks bad a$$! maybe one day I'll find my nuts and do a trail like this. Not sure if my current set up can make it tho gotta go higher , gotta get more skid plates!!!

 

Yea i dont mind getting high centered when friends are a round......i get a good laugh and a good photo opt

 

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

 

Looks like a fun trail - thanks for posting the pics.

 

Not to Hijack but I had to say hi to a fellow Rogue!
Howdy!
Inspired by Rogue Warrior, Rogue Spear or the comic?

I'm also a bit new to the jeep scene but this plate got more compliments....and also got me pulled over quite frequently.

Anyways welcome
