Happy Sunday, Cyber friends!
Took my daughter to YMCA Adventure Guides this weekend at Agua Claiente and hit some trails to get there and then played in the sand on Saturday.
We left Poway at 12:15 with 80% charge, should have been closer to 100% but employee drove her like a race car to vender pickup…
We started Oriflamme Canyon from Banner Store at 2pm, opened and closed the fence, smooth sailing first 30min then found a boulder in the middle of the trail, was just enough room to squeeze by without going into a ravine. I should’ve taken the time to pull it to the side of the road, but we were in a rush to get to camp. I’ll probably go back in a few weeks and take care of it. Wish I would’ve taken a photo… another 30 minutes down the trail and we found the first obstacles that are more washed out than I remember them. Cybertruck had no problem crossing over, but a full-size trencher that was with us got high centered and needed to be jacked up, stacked rocks and recovery boards to get in stuck. The rest of the way was pretty good. Some of the other obstacles were also a little bit more washed out, but no problem for the Cybertruck. I think we lost about 45 minutes on the tundra issue and we got off Trail at 6:15. if it wasn’t for the tundra and Taco driving slower I think the Cybertruck could’ve gotten off at 5pm.
Aguante caliente campsite is a nice little gem, that I hadn’t found before, if you want a hosted campsite. There was a swimming pool, a hot springs indoor pool, plenty of bathrooms and water and electricity at every site. I used the 240 V adapter on the charger that came with the truck and charged back to 100% (from 5%) overnight. ? at $35 a night this paid for itself.
The next day we drove out, Vallecito wash to launch some rockets, then Arroyo Tapiado to the Mud caves where I met another Cybertruck owner, in his jeep… he looked surprised in and impressed that the Cybertruck was there. I think next time he’ll probably think twice before not taking the Cyber. After that swam/bathed in the pools, steak tacos and drank whisky by the fire, perfect camping weekend.
I used the Baja mode for both trails because it feels like it loosens up the suspension and gives full gas. I used lockers once on the Oriflamme Canyon, not needed in the sand which we easily hit speeds of 65mph and felt very smooth. Coming from a 2020 Land Rover Defender X, which was great off-road, the Cybertruck is easily on par with it and I think can go almost anywhere it could. I definitely wouldn’t trade back!
The Cybertruck currently has Baja Designs Squadron Pro Amber bumper fog lights, will add to site tomorrow, the WhipIt Light Rods are super bright and are a beacon on the trail at night, one of my favorite mods and our collab kits will be on the site soon.
Our 1-2” lifts rod kit and front control arm sliders really work well on this type of trail getting you higher and not leaving plastic parts behind when they get torn off.
And we’ve been testing our Polycarbonate cap with HiCap Badass Tents Packout on top, how to be ready for production within 2 weeks. This is a good set up, but I missed the 8x Linkables kits we had on the roof and Rock sliders are getting powdered… They will go back on next week with the Cyber Rooftop tent Camper set up.
I’ll upload the videos tomorrow on our Instagram and then put links back here. Unfortunately they’re not loading from my cell phone.
