Very nice Dom.

My buddy's almost-brand-new FJC doesn't have diff lock nor A-trac (no substantial skids, no sliders, & no lift, for that matter) Is it do-able, staying on the main road? I am looking for an easy trail as an intro to 4-wheeling for him.
Without a doubt! Stay on the main road and you can do it in a civic

Here is the turn off for where i was. 33.671854,-117.559236


I have not done the whole thing yet, only the first mile. Sometimes the gate is shut, sometimes it's open. But if it is shut, its locked with a pin, so all you need to do is pull it to unlock it.

Unlock it at your own risk..
I was right. I know the gate. I think every time I have been up there it has been shut. I did once see a stake bed truck go in with a bunch of Mexicans looking for more cardboard it looked like.

Re: Holy Jim, the Shakedown Trail.

Don't forget about the trails to your emediate right as you enter. There are some fairly nasty small hills if you don't mind some scratches.

Re: Holy Jim, the Shakedown Trail.

I'm jealous, Dom! There are no trails to run within an hour of my house. I would love to be able to wheel every day! Great writeup and pics, btw...
