What's going on in SoCal Thread

Olancha Peak, with the South Fork of the Kern river, in Monache Meadows.

 

Joe's Camp, with a view of Monache Meadows

 

Looks like an awesome trip. Definitely something I'd be interested in doing.

 

Depends on what you need done. Super Dave (has a thread on this page) does excellent suspension work (installed my eibach pro lift) and very reasonable prices. He’s not west LA (Lakewood) but I traveled from South OC and it was worth it.

 

Anybody taking a casual spin off 14/395? I'll make coffee . . .

 

Damn this sounds like fun guys! I am just a couple week's new here to the forum. I have not done any crazy things to my 4Runner, but would still like to join and get some good advice from everyone! Just want to talk to pro old heads, that know whats best on a 4Runner!
I am from Los Angeles

 

That post is from 2014.

 

Yes I know that, but would if they still continue it till this year or something

Plus, that sounded like a lot of fun

They had me at tacos and the beer... shii

 

Anyone up for a cruise up to Santiago Peak soon?

 

You have a date in mind? What kind of trail is it?

 

Maybe the weekend of 4/13 or 4/20 it’s a very simple trail. Cool view at the top (I’ve never done it but since it’s close it’s worth a try)

I’m close by and never ventured up at night. I’m definitely interested in a group run!

 

Anyone has a mint set of TRD Off Road wheels for sale.

Please PM me.

I’ll post in the classified soon.

thank you.

 

I am down for this! I can do April 20th, but does my truck need to be lifted for this trail? I saw the video, and I want to say no, but I am going to do a little bit of research on the trail just to be safe.

 

Stock is just fine… probably won’t even need 4hi.

 

Amazing trip to Anza this weekend!

 

Love this attitude! Follow my group on Instagram, SoCal Toyotas, we try to do monthly runs, last year we actually did a beginner training run on White Mountain which was a great success. Been tossing around the idea of doing another one.

You should probably get a lift before that one. It *can* be done with a stock 5th gen but you want experience otherwise you're far more likely to get body damage. Those side steps are also a liability

 

So who would be down to cruise Santiago Peak?
Let’s get a small meet going

 

Well if anyone is looking to get some new armor soon we have this deal going on locally

Hello,

Do you know of any groups in the north San Diego area? I'm also interested in looking for a group ride as well

 

I hope I'm not too late.., but we should get a small meet going. It be fun to meet new members.

 

Maybe we can set a meet @ a local coffee shop with decent parking?

I still haven’t made it up to Santiago Peak lol

 

im not sure if the trail is open heading that way. Last time I checked, the gate was closed.

 

Anyone in San Diego go to the LUV Car Wash on Balboa?

Is it worth a membership? Is the car wash touchless? At home I have to park under a tree so my 4runner gets dirty quickly so I was thinking an unlimited touchless carwash membership could be useful in addition to the occasional deep clean washes i can do at home.

 

Whatever you do don’t ever go to soapy Joe’s it will fuck the shit out of your paint

 

Ya i've been reading bad reviews about Soapy Joes.

 

Anyone have a good recommendation for a performance shop that can do welding? This is non-4runner related, looking to get some full length subframe connectors welded on a Fox Body Mustang. Would preferably like a shop that actually knows what subframes are and how to properly support the vehicle for installation. I've heard JBA is super expensive so not really looking to go to them.
