my lil Jeep is tabbed up and ready to roll. woot woot.

and gents i will still be getting dark early. make sure what lighting you do have is functional. i recommend a rear facing flood light. you'll like it a lot when the time comes.

in the last week i tabbed my jeep. installed a CB , install forward flood lights, side lighting , rear amber fog lights for reversing and not blinding those of you behind me and red cab lighting becasue i like to run interior lighted at night on the trail.

i sure do hope we run late and end up in the dark.

for once i am going to know how my brother feels. 31's and a small lift. my other car may be sold so diesel swap and 35's will be in order and a rear locker or lsd unit.

any how see y'all there.

Bothlbikes. I cant say i know walker well, but i have been up once and was a little hesadent because there website made it sound like an extreme park. But from the trails i hit up i would say ur jeep should be fine. One of my buddies wen up with me and made it down every trail we hit in a stock 89 yota with ifs, and low tread mudders. He had more difficulty then my jeep. But made it nither the less. U should be fine in my opion. I have heard and seen videos of stock xjs out there hiting up pretty much every trail.

I know the trails pretty well now. I ran 90% of walker on 4.5 with half tread 32 mudders. You my friend, will do just fine, even If you are open. I'll keep most of you safe. There are some "easy" trails, but there are also the hard trails.... We'll cross that bridge when we get there

i have enjoyed running at nite there for a few years now at walker. no one in the way and its nice and cool.

i have halogens on the front 55w yellow floods and amber 3 LED sides and LED amber fogs in rear now. so i will be nice and well lit for nite trailng again. also its nice to have decent light in the snow. which i hope you will join me in some i will put up a pic tomorrow of it. i tried to only have halogen in front to keep the alt happy. need to do a zj swap or dual alts. would be sweet.


actually here's a shot form a moment ago. couldn't wait
