Bakersfield, CA

[jrock]

I'm moving!  So Bakersfield locals, how's the area? Does anyone know anyone renting a room? Preferably with a garage space. 

[Gixxer Jon]

Where are you moving from, Ive been trying to see how many people from bakersfield actually get on here and ive talked to about two...  Hopefully there is more then just that with some yota's...

[jrock]

San Mateo in the SF Peninsula. So how is Bakersfield?

[Gixxer Jon]

its Bakersfield!  So why are you moving down here? 

Well there isn't anything exciting right out our back door thats intresting to go wheeling in.

But Bakersfield is surrounded by mountains so to hit some mountain terrain, its on the outskirts of bakersfield. Since Ive only had my rig for about 2 months now. Ive been exploring trying to find some close rock terrain. Im still trying to talk to locals about places they wheel in the area that i havnt dicovered.

There is quiet abit of off-roading and crawling areas with in 30 min to an hour away from bakersfield...

[jrock]

Work. I just got hired at a preserve. Mountain trials sound awesome. It's way better than Metropolitan trials, ie. roads. 

You wouldn't happen to know anyone renting out rooms?

edit: for 4-wheeling ! for rooms try craigslist???

[AaronB]

there are trails around lake isabella, nothing technicial. not to far from the hammers down south or all the trails up north around Fresno

[jrock]

Hammers will be like Hollister after I move. Go as often as I get a chance.

I made the move from San Jose to Merced a year ago and I'm really enjoying the smaller town and being close to the sierras...

[jrock]

It won't as busy as the SF BA but I want to get out of the BA for a while.

[emsvitil]

My parents are in BF.

It's the surrounding area that's nice.

And you'll need Home AC......

[jrock]

If it's like Stockton CA I think I'll REALLY need AC.

[Gixxer Jon]

I dont know of anyone with rooms for rent right now. but I do have extra rooms but i would have to think about if i wanted to rent one out right now or not....  

Oh and garage space??? Thats gonna cost you!!!    I got a three car garage and its pretty much filled with toys  

[Gixxer Jon]

oh and FYI you will need a place with AC your talking about the summers are over 100*F and averagly 100-115   


Drink alot of  and you will be fine... lol

[jrock]

Superyota, AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superyota]

you guys don't even know how stoked i am to see guys from the board with toyota's in bakersfield

[Gixxer Jon]

Its nice to get some feed back. ive been on here for about a month trying to find some yota owners here in bakersfield... 

[superyota]

sorry man.  i got a bit tied up with KOH this last month.  didn't get to spent a whole lot of time on the forum

[jrock]

Well your getting one more that loves to get out and wheel! I look forward to meeting you guys in person  

[Gixxer Jon]

Yea i drove my runner to KOH and back like a champ and she cruses at 60-70 like nothing...  

Gotta love the DD, even though i dont drive her everywhere... bc she will be converted to a trailer queen someday...

[jrock]

KOH was an accident for me but I was stocked to go. San Mateo to Bakersfield and then to Yucca Valley. All going 75-85mph no problems.

[superyota]

bakersfield to the lucerne, 60mph with a trailer   we were up there all week. 
its always nice wheeling with people that have the same make truck as you do, nothing agaist jeeps,  but when your the only toy in the group that goes on trails, it gets a bit lonely.   

[Gixxer Jon]

my rig will handle over 70+ but i dont like driving over 70 mph bc i have a commercial license and i get screwed if i get a speeding ticket.

This year was my first year at KOH, i Couldnt believe all the yota's there was about 60% of the rigs were yota's

I deff cant wait to get my rig the way i want it before next year..

[superyota]

a bunch of us from bakersfield are planning a trip to rubicon as soon as conditions are good.  probably be memorial day or beginning of june sometime.  i'll let you know though if your interested.  oh yea, and we do a local wheeling trip every last saturday or sunday of the month, depending on which works better for the majority.

[kneedownnate]

Does this mean you won't be making the annual trinity lake trip anymore? 

Only reason I'd probably make a trip to bakersfield would be the road course, willow springs is it? 

[AaronB]

ive been on here for a long time just south of Bakersfield in Tehachapi.
