    Time to fire up the GoPro...

    Might hit the bigger rocks on Coney Flatts trail this weekend.

    It was a walk in the park in the old Sammy, but only had the Jeep up there once. The added length and with of the JKU adds a whole new level of fun!
    Anybody in the area that wants to go, you know how to get ahold of me... :D

    Waiting on the bumpers to actually hold the curvature of the car... The plastic was spread out around 1/2" total from where they should be. Just have to bolt them on and set it in the heat for a while (which I did over the last few weeks), they are not springing out now when I pop the fasteners loose, but I am giving it a little more time just to be sure. :)

    I miss my Jeep every day. I had a 2000 4cyl TJ. I added coil spacers, Mickey Thompson MTZs, Flowmaster 40 series and some other stuff. It was so easy to work on, as long as I had the PB Blaster handy, it spent most of its life in Ohio and had lots of rust.

    While living on the Big Island of Hawaii for 6 years (early 90's) I bought a 1980 CJ 5, a real rust bucket. The drives we went on to get to the beach, so much FUN and the memories .....priceless!

    Didn’t bring the Jeep as I’d go broke getting there at 12 MPG.
    Sure wouldn’t mind finding a decent club in that area that was having a ride the weekend before MOTD one year and seeing if I could find an open passenger seat.

    I saw lots of trails, but ALL of them had been gated with big ROAD CLOSED signs! (Including the opposite end of the one that I did find...)
    From Denver, it was only about $350 each way in gas, which really isn't too bad for a lifted Jeep. :)

    $700 – :eek6:
    I ball parked my fuel bill for the Jeep would have been close at ~$625
    That’s way too much for no trailriding.

    That is so cool. Wish we had that big of a club here. Hopefully I can attend Jeep Beach in a few years!

    Although I never got heavily into off-trail Jeeping, I can still remember countless trips to the Outer Banks, NC (Ocracoke Island) and tooling around the beaches and sand trails....before they added a park fee recent years

    Good lookin rigs! If you could yank the top and doors off of an FJ with a solid front axle, I may have gone that way... Yoter wont have anything to do with any of that though. :(

    Sorry, don’t recall hearing that name.
    This was my third time at this event. It is in/around Williamsburg, KY, just south of Corbin; about 10/15 miles into KY and down towards Jellico.
