Anyone notice a white ZJ running around the Virginia area? Looks like it has a small lift and 30-31s on it. Noticed it the other night at Holiday by Target. Has a single side exit exhaust coming out before the pass. side rear tire. Looks like a 4-5" tip on it. Was dropping a buddy off at Target so I didn't get back to there to get a better look at it before he left down 53 towards Eveleth.

Hey guys,

From Stillwater, want to know what a good place to start out going stock.

Heard that the Iron range was cool, but I dont know much about it. Dont wanna do anything super difficult first time, just like a easy practice run sota thing

thanks

You can run all the easy and most moderate trails in the Gilbert OHV area. Just gotta be careful nowadays which "Moderate" trail you go down. Best to find someone that goes there often and knows which trails are easy enough for a stock rig. You could go wheel all day and have a blast in a stocker! I have done it many times!

Need the DNR sticker which is available at the gate and pass a sound test. 96 dec or quieter and you are good to go. No tech inspection and you are on your own in the park.

Tow hooks are a good idea for the just in case moments! I've been in there once with my ZJ and did some light wheeling. Was surprised what it could do with stock size street tires and a small lift!! Some times it just requires a little more go pedal!! Hoping to get my XJ running smooth to get in there.....

I should be there.

Had a little outing with the XJ last night. My nephew and a couple of his buddies tried three mile. Well needless to say they got 3 trucks stuck and his Jeep. By the time I got there they freed one truck. I pulled the Jeep out and we all made our way to the last stuck truck. Had a blast. First time in there for myself.

Now today the XJ just randomly dies on me. It will restart after a few minutes of sitting and run for about 5 mins then die again etc etc etc.

I think we are going to get lucky with a dry spring being there was not really any frost up here. My yard is already pretty much dry! That will be what we need for sure to get the MMT DONE by July 1 also.

You working yet Travis?
