California NorCal Jeep adventures!

[bobthetj03]

With snow hitting the ground, I was wondering if anyone was planning any runs?

I have the week off for Christmas, so I bet there will be some snow by then.

 

[Thunderhead]

I want to!
I had a P 302 code so I changed my spark plugs and it’s still a little ruff at idle.
Got a new coil rail and TPS coming in so hopefully it’s back to being reliable soon

I was thinking easy to start the snow season maybe going to uncle toms cabin then going out through ice house road and maybe out to loon lake maybe. I would prefer a sat

Will have to see how much snow this storm drops. Wentworth road to Uncle Tom’s is a nice area for the snow. Just depends on how deep the snow for how far you one can go.

 

[bobthetj03]

Yep, don't lose the groove.

 

[Danarch]

Watching to see when. Seems every weekend is busy through new year but may have a chance.

 

[BC Moto]

Last year it wasn't too bad we made it through, some areas were a little deep but doable. Alot of people were playing in the snow. Actually my avatar pic is on that road

 

[BC Moto]

Anyone taking the jeep out this weekend?

Anyone taking the jeep out this weekend?

Maybe tomorrow!
I’m way North of you though
I imagine the snow is shitty and not fun with the warm weather. Melting and re freezing
I just put a new coil pack and TPS sensor in so it’s running great

 

[BC Moto]

Its supposed to rain this weekend so lets see if anything happens

 

[BC Moto]

Planning on heading towards Stanislaus area this Sunday if anyone is interested, We ,might go check out paper cabin ridge trail. It would be me and my friend he does have a TJ as well. Let me know if anyone is interested

 

[BC Moto]

Planing on going out to Uncle Toms Cabin and surrounding areas on the 26th if anyone else wants to join let me know

Have you been up that way this time of year? What are the conditions like?

 

[Danarch]

I would but our club has its Mustang run in Reno that day. We were up at Forest Hill road last Saturday and hit snow around 5300 elevation. It’s gotten “warm” this week so not sure what the conditions would be like now. I would expect some snow towards Uncle Toms Cabin.

 

[RubiconLJ]

First pics is on Wentworth Springs Rd half way from Uncle Toms to Ice House on March 23rd. Second is an open area at the high point in WSR but the road itself wasn't bad. It was icy in the morning and slushy in the afternoon. We did get some more snow since then, but it's definitely been warm lately. I doubt there's much at Uncle Tom's.

 

[BC Moto]

Yeah we are hoping there will still be snow up that way, maybe go towards loon lake?

 

[RubiconLJ]

Or you could also take Ice House Reservoir Rd-Wrights Lake Rd to Forest Service Rd FS-32 the back way up to Wrights Lake. There's a fair bit of slow elevation gain going that direction that should get you higher up. Loon is at 6400'; Wrights is at 7000'.

How many jeeps you have going with you so far? Sounds like light snow trails nothing crazy?

 

[BC Moto]

Right now it 3 jeeps and a 4runner maybe another friend but dont know what he will bring

 

[chaseb913]

I’ll direct message you BC Moto. I’m interested in tagging along . I have a buddy on here that might be interested as well.
