I'm south of you in the LA area. Have to go to the desert this time of year honestly. I looking at doing a trip down below Palm Springs in January, but may be a bit far for you.

I'm in Ventura county, and would be interested. However, I have not gone offroading very much.

My wife loves Palm Springs.

I am thinking about hitting some of the local fire roads. I am in Oxnard by the Golf Course.

I’m in Santa Barbara area taken mine out to Bishop/Mammoth a few times lots of fun trails and fire roads. Seems to do pretty well for a leveling kit and some wheels/tires.

For me I am chock blocked until the 29th. Don't know about that river fording (I would use my jeep TJ for that). But I enjoy the Mammoth Area. I want to camp and fish at Manache Meadows....

I went up to monache in July with my bone stock ranger at the time, did great, river was pretty deep at the time, too. Can't wait to go back with the lift and tires upgraded hah. Did laurel lakes up at mammoth a few months back, truck handled great on that too

I am considering the Ford/FOX upgrade. But for now keeping her stock. If I sell the HD and Jeep I will apply some of the proceeds into my truck.

What is the best route up there? I have only heard about the fishing.

I went in from 395/kennedy meadows, I took one wrong turn into a jeep trail that headed away from the river, but it wasn't a problem. Stay east at the giant Sandy hill. Just follow the river as best you can. FYI, our best fishing that day was after the first fish divider, but overall a slow day (was up shortly after the ridgecrest quake).

Stock will get you up there just fine, let me know when you're going and I'll try to at least day trip it up there with you

I’m moving up to Bishop right after Christmas. Looking forward to taking mine out on all the trails in the area. Would be great to meetup with other Ranger owners!
