<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My name is Matt, IÆm 25 y/o and I live in Fresno, CA (central CA). I grew up in a small town called Oakhurst, about 30 min from Yosemite N.P. I have done some "beginner," beginner 4WD, but recently became more interested in it. I own a 1999, 4WD, "stock," with 31" tire, Toyota Tacoma. It has lived most its life as a back and forth to work vehicle. Only put into 4WD to go woodcutting or to drive in snow. IÆm interested in some "Easy" to "Moderate" trails (or as far as a stock will go!). I am inexperienced and wanted to learn from some experts! If you have any tips for me, I am all ears.

Matt,

I recommend looking up your local 4x4 clubs. Most have outings you can go on. Find the one you feel comfortable going with to learn from. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Check with the Fresno Four Wheel Drive Club.

Also, check the CA4WDC listing for other clubs in your area:
