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

Memorial Day Weekend 2023... The fishing was slow offshore, so we decided to opt for an adventure on land. I had run 3n14 Coxey Road a few years before, but had forgotten how much fun this trail is. Come along for the ride!

    Do you think a 2 Wheel Dr. 4 runner would hv any problems on this trail?

    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.

    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.

    What do you use for maps and to find future roads/trails to drive? Just got picked up a rzr and trying to find all the trails near me (right next to Idyllwild). I bought the MVUM for my area but was wondering are there any other ways to find trails. Great vid and TIA!

    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.

    Any chance you can provide precise directions? I hit Coxey road, attempting to use GPS, and ran into treacherous roads back in Apple Valley.

    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.

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

    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.

    if its mostly a dirt road, why deflate tires to 20psi ?

  • @rohrsoutdoors

    @rohrsoutdoors

    Жыл бұрын

    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.

    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.
