Nowhere around here to wheel but up north there are places to go in the big woods. Nicolet National Forest and county forest lands.

 

Up in Mountain near the Pipeline off 64. Exploring some trails early tomorrow.
Anyone know any good areas?

 

I'm in Whitewater, is there or is anyone in WI interested in starting an XJ club?

 

I'm in Kenosha, anywhere to get dirty around here?

 

Its winter not a whole lot going on right now...

Might be doing some wheeling locally before the end of the year if we get some snow.

 

On the state line here Beloit WI.

 

Im from a little north of Manitowoc. Anywhere good to wheel around here?

 

Welcome to the forum..... from another new member.
There aren't any large open to the public wheeling areas (that I know of anyway) in the Mtwc / T.R. area. You usually need to be a paid club member that has private land to wheel on legally. (locally, anyway)
I / we wheel on private land north of Brillion / south of DePere.
We might have some people out mid-late Jan if we have enough snow to play in.

 

Looks like I'm bringing the Jeep back out to play since I totalled my 2013 Optima. The jeep definitely needs some work because the suspension and steering on it is brutal, bushings are all shot, needs new shocks, springs and leafs, need to reseal the diffs, new coolant lines, etc etc. Maybe ill actually lift it some time soon and finish the paint now that I don't have a car payment anymore.

 

Ouch! You are OK?

 

Yep I'm fine. Just irritated that on top of totalling out my car the ******** rookie deputy decided to give me $400 in tickets because I hit a random patch of black ice at 430am on my way to work and slid through a stop sign. I'll take it to court and see what happens since my record is accident free and haven't had a ticket in like 4 years.

The only thing worse than a rookie law enforcement person is a female law enforcement person. Once the badge is on they run around like they need to prove what a hardass they are. Id much rather deal with veteran law enforcement who tend to be more respectful and reasonable towards people.

 

Glad you are ok. Might as well lift it right away instead of replacing bushing and then lifting it later. Just get a lift that has upper and lower control arms

 

That's my plan. Replacing everything with stock parts is damn near the same price as a full blown lift. My only issues are 1) I don't have the help to install the lift and 2) the jeep is our only vehicle for the time being so it can't be out of commission for more than a day or two.

The actual install of a lift doesn't look too complicated from all the instructions that ive read but it would be nice to have an extra set of hands and/or someone who has done a lift before to assist with issues.

 

I know Im off subject now, but Im from Appleton. One day I hope my jeep is decent looking.
