Pioneer Town to Big Bear?

[MarkO]

Has anyone done this run in their JT? Any plans to in the near future? Never done it and wouldn’t mind going for it.

I was looking at this:

Edit: Doesn't look as challenging as I thought it would be. I could be wrong.

I’ve done Gold Mountain and Holcomb, would like to do this trail as well.

Im up for a trip, keep me in the loop.

You did Holcomb in the Gladiator? How was that?

Easy

Honestly once you get use to the length and where to place your wheels the Gladiator is crazy capable. Yes you will hit the back on some obstacles but just take it slow (it’s rock crawling not racing). I’ve done John Bull and the gatekeeper and that bloody tree was the most complicated but awesome fun.

Man, you guys aren't playing around. On stock 33 or larger? I ran the Power Wagon through the gatekeeper and then just came back out because it wasn't getting through the squeeze obviously. I'll need a winch on the Gladiator before attempting either Holcolm or John Bull because I usually run alone. Possibly larger tires too.

A 100% stock Jeep JL made it through Holcomb with no winch, no large tires.. nothing.

Really? I haven't run it in about ten years but I remember a bunch of rocks and a lot of water making it slippery. I high centered after slipping off of a rock and had to winch.
