FIRST TIME Off-Roading At HOLLISTER HILLS! EPIC Sights & Sounds! 

Thank you brother, really appreciate the tips! I was in Tahoe a few weeks ago and had wanted to try some trails that branched off the Rubicon entrance near the lake (not sure what it's called), but it was still completely snowed in. Not sure how far we need to get into summer for it to all burn off, but I'm definitely itching to get out again. I'm trying to get the overland tent sorted at the moment, and that'll open up a whole new range of things we can do. Where are you located? Do you have any go to local spots these days?

@@FlawlessActivity it may be best to wait until Sept. for the Rubicon as all the “kids” will be back in school. I’m in Livermore, I haven’t done any off-roading since my son was born but I’m going to try and ease myself back in at Hollister this summer I hope. When my Jeep club was active we’d go to Hollister/cow mountain mainly for meet ups and those more inclined would go to Loon Lake and Wentworth then ride to Spider lake…we weren’t a hardcore group with trailered rigs but that loop was enough! Hit me up if you ever head out again, I’d love to join!

You're welcome my man! Thanks for the comment and support. Much appreciated! What vehicle are you planning to take out there? Hope you have a blast!🍻

They did not. I just paid for the day and was on my way. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Yea, it is a very awesome build! I love all of the small touches with the orange powder coating. Plus the owner isn't afraid to drive the wheels off of it! I hope to be that bold someday. I'll work my way up to it!

Very interesting, I haven't had a chance to run a lot of Hollister Hills yet, but I'm really looking forward to going back! I also love that there is a lot of variety from easy to hard and you're not forced outside your comfort zone (though I haven't accidentally driven down a black diamond yet!). I'm curious, knowing what you know now, do you think paint protection film is a good idea, or do the pinstripes add character in your opinion? Completely agree about the cost. I've got an appointment for new gears and onboad air in a week, and it will cost a pretty penny, but for the ability to adventure, it's worth it!🍻

@IcyHotStuntazOnRU-vid because of where I got the jeep, it already had a protectant on (the Dodge/Jeep dealership I bought from was in a field, hadn't built a full fledged dealership yet, though now they do- so CA law said all their vehicles had to be coated) I don't know Jeep ownership without a coating- the stuff I got now is a seven year application, but still I get scrapes, but no gouges. California weeds are tough! I would get something. Maybe better than a paint job every 2 or 3 years... rust is a horrible thing.

@BillyBennecke right on! That's awesome! Really appreciate the reply, it helps a lot! As with all things Jeep related, pay me now or pay me later, usually doing it right once the first time is the best approach. I definitely plan on keeping her for the long haul, so your advice is probably best!👌

If you’re going to off-road your rig you shouldn’t worry about pin striping. If that’s a concern best to stick to fire roads and parking lot meets.
