I can't think of a better way to celebrate Father's Day(actually the day before) than to run up to Santiago Peak in the Cleveland National Forest with a bunch of Xterra's. This is a 2W friendly run, with a couple of fun obstacle spots, to the top of Orange County. Once we get to the Peak, we can eat lunch, take some photo's, and then head to down to Cook's Corner for the beverage of your choice.

Love to join you guys,. should be back from Tennessee/Kaintucky trip by then. I'll work on gettin the Mojave dust out /off of the truck. No skids yet,. will that work ?

The trail is stock and 2wd friendly. There's some side stuff that's fun to play around on though.

i think i can make this...put me down!
-
Lovin all the new blood!! This is a great group of Xterra loving off roaders, and it's only getting better. It's the people on this forum that make it so inviting and fun. I'm glad to see some fresh enthusiasm brewing.
-
I'll definitely have my 2in suspension lift done before this! Hopefully I'll get a set of those white knuckle sliders soon.
edit: Oh and I'll have a CB radio too! Ahaha my FRS radio died within like 2 hours the first time using it yesterday. Such a pain.
And definitely Hevak! Although this forum doesn't have the numbers that other Xterra forums do, I've found it to be way more helpful. Great group here.
-
I may be interested. I will also bring my dad since I'm not a father myself ;D
-
Great Trail Post Ray ;) Way to step up!
It's a great trail for all the new OC guys to meet, and fun for anyone who want's to get their rig dirty!
Sadly, I will be out of town, but looks like you already got a great group so far.
Take plenty of pics ;)
-
Thanks Randy!! See you next time

I just went up through silverado to pleasant peak yesterday with a couple friends later in the day, they didn't wanna go all the way to Beek's place though since it was getting pretty late. (I've never been there, pretty curious to check it out.)

I climb up to Beek's Place on my fatbike using Blackstar Canyon Road as a means to get up there. (closed to vehicles) It's really neat up there!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img687/7715/89297556308545371147516.jpg)
And if you're feeling really adventurous you can go up to the golf ball
(http://imageshack.us/a/img707/2343/img2502yj.jpg)
I would love to go visit Beek's by truck. Much less physical effort! Is the route planned S trim 4x4 stock friendly? I'd love to start getting involved in the Xcursions!
-
It's 2WD friendly ;)
-
Yep! I have a stock 4x4 S and could do it all in 4x2.
What's inside the golf ball? :o
edit: Ahaha didnt see Hevak's post...
-
I am going to request off work. I should be able to get to this!
-
15 and counting ;D

What time does anyone think this will end. I just got emergency orders to deploy on the 20th of June, but would like to still go on this. However this means that I am moving my sons birthday party.... (July 30th) to june 15th lol. So im wondering if im going to be back around 4 o clock in the afternoon time frame. Anyone know?
Thanks all
-
You should be OK to make it back by 4:00.
-
I hate to say this but youll have to count me out... I just sold my X. shed a few tears watching her go but couldnt keep up with how much she was costing me. It was a really fast sell and wasnt expecting it. Yall have fun and happy trails!

That would work...but try to save the receipt.
For that price you could get a Midland CB to mount in your center console as well as a nice Firestik and mount for your rig through Amazon.
-
Yea thats what im planning of doing its just a last minute thing
-
ROLL CALL!!
-

I'll try to wrangle one up for this run. I have to borrow it from a friend. I'll do my best.

OP Updated

We are still in, looking like it is going to be Wife, 2kids and (Harley) dog on this one.
HEVAK
I could also use your help with the SWR meter, I stripped my firestix on the last run I was on because I only hand tighted it down, being lazy, instead of wrenching it like you are supposed to. So now I have a quick disconnect (still lazy) but hopefully won't have the problem of stripping again.
-
I am in this one for sure!
-
If there isn't a group size limit, I may be in for this one - gotta see if pops wants to celebrate a day early ;D

Group size limit?? The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.

This seems like a good ride for the first trail ride in my X. I've got a 4x4 07 SE with 33s and 1 inch over stock with billstein 5100s and rebuilt leafs.
Do I need anything like an adventure pass for this?

Welcome!! This is the perfect 1st trail for your X. You will not need an adventure pass for this run. However, some kind of communication, CB or FRS, would be beneficial.
-
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/14/radudany.jpg) Frs?
-
Yes sir, that's an FRS.
-
I'll bring my FRS(I have older ones that don't have the "security subchannel thing", if those will still work. I will also be hooking up my CB tomorrow, so If I can get my hands on an SWR meter I should be able to communicate with both.
-
I'll have 2 FRS radios capable of using all the sub channels if anyone needs to borrow one.
-
Tom and I are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow
-
I'm counting 14 rigs CONFIRMED...
Now that's a party!! Can't wait
-
Guys I'm unfortunately out on this. My parents unexpectedly showed up last night. Since I'm deploying for 3 months this week I'm just going to hang out with them. Sorry for the late drop. I hope all goes well and is fun.
-
Have fun everyone...be safe. :)

Some were taken while in motion, so between steering, shifting, and using the camera, weren't the best.
The rest I have no excuse if they are bad, operator error :p
-
Thank you all for making it such an enjoyable run. There was a little something for all of us. From first time trail rides, to big hill climbs, and a couple of puckering drops. We even had a chance to bust out the tools for a small trail side repair.
Here are a few choice shots:

See you next time
-
Did you guys make it to Beek's place?
-
If Beeks is the place with ruins, then YES, we made it.
-
Nice!!
I'm not totally sure if that was a helicopter landing pad or not ahaha but it's a random piece of asphalt that looks like one... So maybe.
-
Good run guys, thanks for the warm welcoming.
Already ran my rig through the frog wash once and it still needs another wash ;)
I was very happy with this trail for my Xs first real offroad experience. Now onto that mod list.
Looks like heftyworks sliders and a fuel tank skid, CB radio are in my near future.
-
Looks like y'all had a fun time. Quite a few rigs too. Hope to see some of you next weekend at Cleghorn.

HBXterra...glad you had fun on your first Xcursion with SCCX! :)
We (SCCX) might be working on a discount/group buy of sliders with White Knuckle here in California.
They are an excellent customer service company with great quality products, and LOCAL.

Luana, I'm so glad that you and Tom were able to join us yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Unfortunately, your pictures aren't showing up in your post. You should try Photobucket. Load your photos on Photobucket, then click on the IMG Code, which copies the code, and then use CTLR P to paste the code into your response.

Como se dice "Wah". Sorry i had to drop guys but i look forward to making it on one of these soon. Looks like fun was had by all. Happy fathers day to all the Padres out there.

Stoked you all had so much fun. I'm looking forward to doing it again. This time I want to go up to Beeks Place and back. The obstacle trails, off the main trail going up to Beeks, were a blast, and I would love to try em on the way back.
