Cleghorn Fire Road is a popular fire road that goes from Interstate 15 in the Cajon Pass over to Lake Silverwood. Ever since buying the Subaru we knew we wanted something that was a bit more off road capable so we now have a 4WD Toyota truck and this was the first time we took it off road to see what it could do.

There was a group of off roaders at this turn off so I watched them play on the terrain for a while. The fire road is located in the San Bernardino National forest and is about 17 miles long. There can be a lot of kids on motorcycles flying around blind curves so it an be a bit dangerous for them. We had a few come around a curve heading towards us going a bit faster then they should have been.

The truck performed very nicely. I was very surprised at just how good the suspension handled the rougher parts of the road. The 4 wheel drive also just climbed the steep parts without even spinning a wheel. I think we are going to enjoy the new things this vehicle opens up for us.
