Nice. I love that area up there. From the cities but try to get up that way as often as possible. I know there's quite a few forest and fire roads up there but don't know about much else. West from you in gilbert in the ohv Park which is fun even with a stock jeep. Just go there to see other people's rigs and get ideas.

Fellow Minnesota convert here checkin in! I live in Saint Paul and DEFINITELY need to find the trails around here haha! Been in a Solara for the last few years and just got a 98' XJ about 1.5 months ago. So far just building out the stuff that is necessary for its survival - New head gasket, catalytic converter, welded some exhaust hangers, needed new u-bolts on the back axle (2 had snapped from rust, other 2 looked bad -sketchy), needed new wheel assemblies on the front 2, tune-up, back hatch lifts....all kinda fun stuff haha. Hopefully a good build log coming in the spring!

Up in ely we have almost zero snow and a fair amount of ice. The trails around ely are quite wet from melted snow and gilbert is not too far away, about 45 minutes so i would figure that they are about the same. Its been quite warm during the days so its been melting then refreezing at night.

Hey guys, just found this page I live in Golden Valley Mn! I've seen some built cherokee's running around the metro, I don't know if any of their owners are members here.
This is what I'm working with!

Welcome! This page isn't too active but check out TCJC and NSJC if you're on Facebook. I live out in Utah for the time being but my out XJ was one of those running around the metro and I'll be bringing a different one back with me when I'm done out here!

Hello!
Hey hey! Minnesota guys! It's good to see so many here! I'm from Austin and it's about 1 hour from the cities, but I'm up in burnsville all the time for work at Park Jeep, so let me know when we're all getting together for food, I'd love to plan a time we can go wheeling!
