Coxey Road 3N14 | Overland From Apple Valley To Big Bear 

I use the Gaia app on my iphone and ipad, and have been really happy with it. You can download maps for offline use that take up very little space, and I find that it is intuitive to use.

@@rohrsoutdoors Ok Thanks! Do you just use the MVUM as you one and only layer? I had it with the MVUM plus an overland Topo but want to make sure I have the most trails visible

I run it with the topo as well.

I find the most useful layers are the Gaia Topo and the USFS 2016 maps.

Thanks for the kind words. No other social media besides the RU-vid channel.

No, unless there were recent rains or snow. I have done this trail in the winter, when there was ice on the ground, and that definitely made traction an issue.

Yes- post an email address. You can delete the comment with the address after I send it.

It’s hard to say, because we explored some off shoots. I’ve done the trail to Fawnskin in less than two hours, but that was without stops.

The other thing to remember is you end up in Big Bear, and then have to get down off the mountain.

Thanks I live about 5 miles from the Trailhead in Apple Valley would be fun to go up that way and come back normal route. Thanks for responding.

It’s pretty short. I think you can do it in under two hours. It took a lot longer because we did a bunch of off shoots and stopped for lunch.

I have not, until recently. I had a lot of questions about it, and am hoping that the info helps others.

@@rohrsoutdoors just drove this road last week. Never had to engage the 4wd, but no doubt my 33s helped a bit.

For a smoother ride. I have a heavier than factory suspension, to offset my rear bumper and also when I am loaded with lots of heavy gear. Airing down helps to balance out the ride.

I went there in my crosstrek XV no problem

@@theivy113 Nice! It's a fun one.

@@rohrsoutdoors it really is gonna do it again soon

20psi is good. It takes a lot of stress off the suspension n tires. And it doesn't throw around your passengers violently. Why cut corners? If I hit a trail I've never done I go down to 15psi. The rides smooth. Who knows if u need the extra grip. I remember doing that as a newbie. Being like I don't need to air down. Then a couple miles into the trail you have to stop to air down, which sucks. If u have a good compressor it's not a problem at all.

I'm not sure- I think its a '95 Wrangler.

Not as of a week ago. Rain can change things (deeper ruts, possible rock slides). As it was you should be fine.

Thanks

No problem- let me know how it goes. One of the main reasons I made the channel was to inspire folks to get out.

I took my AWD Sienna Minivan through without damage last year.

Yes, but you are going to have to be careful choosing lines. I would be more concerned with ground clearance and approach/departure angles than not having 4wd.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info
