Ok so here is the plan....I was the first jeep threw with the new snow thanks to a xj that I met on the trail. He will also be there tomarrow. We ran it backwards and it was a very hard trail with the fresh snow. On our way out we met a group of 12 jeeps going foward on the trail. So with the 15 jeeps it should be easier. I was really stressed that I have never done this trail and was leading a group threw it. So now I have it under my belt and ready to rock it tomarow. See you there.

He was spool rear and locked front. We pulled a few trees off the trail and cleared it out for us tomorrow. There was a group of 12 going up on our way down. Be safe and see you in the AM

From Dirttopia
The John Bull Trail has the solid reputation as one of the toughest and most challenging trails in the Big Bear mountains of San Bernardino County. This trail should only be done with in a group of well-equipped short-wheelbase vehicles. Lockers are recommended, but not always required. The entire trail is strewn with boulders of various sizes. There are a number of sharp drop-offs along the way. Be prepared for scratches, dings and flat tires. This trail is not for stock SUV's.
it's like a mini rubicon. i did it in my kj with a 3" lift (with a little help in places)>
