Title: Dishpan and John Bull up in Big Bear
Post by: DWphoto on July 27, 2009, 03:04:33 PM

Ran Dishpan and John Bull up in Big Bear 
Such an awesome weekend. Camped out at Coon Creek Cabins off the 38. Towed up the trailer.

There was some serious carnage. GFO Randy tagged along on the run..put his jeep on its side. another Range Rover Classic like mine grenaded a rear axle. I got hung up on my front diff and had to be winched over a rock.... On John bull...A few guys got some pretty gnarly body damage.

I think I used ever piece of armor that i have Sliders/ bumpers/ Skid plates/diff guards....

Here's a few pics Ill post more later.

I LOVE John Bull - funnest trail I've ever been on. I ran it with open difs and had no probs except for (1) spot - bet you know where that is. Had to get pulled over a bolder for about 3 feet.  I will be back there but I wanna be locked next time.  Great Pictures Elliot!

I think I know where you are talking about. I did the whole thing with just my rear locker. I weary of blowing a front CV so I played it safe..
your 35s would have come in handy..
heres a few more

looks like a pretty slow go at night... I need to get some rock lights installed for such an occasion but I'm down for a night run.... I've got a light or 2 on my Rack.....man there would be a few pretty intense sections haha....I bet with a few trucks (Built trucks 4 or 5) you could get through there pretty quick....
that section where you go through the trees and there's a large drop off...I totally hit my back bumper and tail light guard on the tree. Good times
