Trails and camping with fire for noobs?

[SCrunner]

Hello all! My name is Matt I am very new to 4-wheeling, I have a 2016 4runner Trail edition and want to use this thing right.

I was curious if anyone had a list of beginner trails in California or could refer me to one, or just some spots! Vehicle has no lift :( , BFGoodrich K02 tires, and KDSS. I have done some very, very minimal 4x4 in the Eldorado National Forest but want to kick it up a notch. Sorry if this is a vague post, thanks to all in advance.


Cheers,
Matt.

Don't use white gas to lite a fire!!!!! I saw a 55 gal drum get to 150' up in the air, after the guy lit it!!

What part of CA? North or South? And our trucks are very capable stock vehicles, no need to worry as long as you're smart about the terrain you want to tackle.
Fire... always an issue while camping in California, even with the recent rains our state will still be suffering from drought conditions by the summer I'm afraid. Always check with a ranger station local to where you'll be going. You'll still sometimes need a fire permit for propane stoves in some areas. It's an easy online thing and it's good for the year. I usually get one about this time of year and just keep it in my truck so I know it's always there.

All of California but mainly Northern. For SoCal, near LA and San Diego is preferred as I am taking a trip those areas in March.

If you're in the Sacramento area we do a weekly get together on Wednesday night at the Starbucks on Truxel in the Walmart parking lot. Lots of information to be gained.
