I'm running 3" lift, 31s, 30/35 open-open. Am I going to be able to make this all the way through? No body armor, either.

You might pick up some minor rocker damage on Deep Creek depending on the lines you take as well as your driving skill. If you have ran John Bull or Holcomb Creek you should not have a problem with your rockers. I would recomend a transfer case skid.

Ken and I were the only ones that showed up Saturday. Ken had to head down the hill After Pilot Rock, I went ahead and finished up Deep Creek after a stop in Devils Hole.

Here's ken coming up the spot on Cleghorn where I flopped my last time up here going down through this spot.

For a trail that is mostly dirt, Cleghorn is one of my favorites. There are some areas that get pretty twisty, the suspension gets a good work out. It is a great trail to run out and back. This white XJ kept showing up in my rear view mirror.

Ken rig decided to slide into a hole here on the Pilot Rock trail to see just how tough the sheet metal on the passenger side was. If he did hit the body it was where there was already a dent.

Pilot Rock offers up a few areas with rocks to crawl over. That's an awfully big grin for a guy that was on the wrong line.......again.

I didn't get too many pictures after Ken headed off, what I did get are here.


You all missed out on a good run, again. I ended up logging eight hours to run from Cleghorn at the I-15 to Green Valley at the far end of Deep Creek/Dishpan Springs. Next trip out ought to take ~12 hours to get all the way through John Bull taking the same route. The planned "Round the mountain trip is looking to be more like it's going to be 16+ hours when all said and done.
I did pass a YJ at the base of the waterfall on Deep Creek. He was hanging out with his rig waiting for his buddy to get back from down in the valley, with another axle shaft. A D35, 31" tires and a locker and he didn't even get started up the climb. :sad1: Who'da thunk?

Well I must say, it was a spectacular day. Great weather, Nice Breeze and beautiful scenery…

The Flowers were in bloom everywhere.

But Alas, there were only 2 of us that showed for the run…

The trails were great… LOTS of off camber

Which made me thankful for sidewall tread…

This is a representation of what we saw all day… I tried to hold the camera level… notice my dash tilted left, and just in front of me Bent is tipping right…

Bent returning from an “I told you so”…

I had not been all the way through Cleghorn and never been on 2N33…

Those were some great trails. Very challenging at points (If you wanted them to be)… Great Views. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time… But I would choose to take that road to Big Bear over the 330 any day…

Thanks again for the Trip Tim…
