That's crazy! I bought it from a dude in New Smyrna. Once I get the drivetrain out of it I'll probably part some stuff out. Whatever isn't needed for the conversion.
yea that's him! lol he had big plans... i just need some bolts to put mine together. I got it without a trans and the shop that had it didn't include any of that stuff.
i need
trans bolts
cross member bolts
starter bolts
NSS nut
He was selling it because he was moving to CO for a bartending job. Couldn't find a job here, which was kinda nuts.
Can't you get those nuts and bolts at Ace? I redid my cross member bolts with ones from Ace.
he told me he was moving to Colorado when i sold the Jeep to him..
I don't know what size they are.. I was just in an accident so kinda limited on wrenching right now. otherwise i would take one out my Jeep to get the size. no biggy,
you interested in selling the sound bar in the cargo area?

Gotcha. Well I know the cross member bolts are M10x1.5. If you're doing a drop you'll just need to get like 2" bolts.
I think I could sell it. My red jeep may already have one but its upholstered over and I've never checked. There's no speakers in it so idk.
Linked up with some good people in Ocala, Justin I think you know them well. Went to b-pit and they showed me a good time.
Haha! Sorry, I didn't realize you posted it here too. Yeah those are my extended family members. I'd ride with them before I ride with anyone else I've ever ridden with. Lots of experience between the 4 of them. His kids have probably had more seat time then a lot of members on here.

So then the legal battle began and in the PNW "tree huger" is a thing of pride...so folks who hit the trails began getting slammed left and right for abusing the land. Some rightfully so, others not so much...but in the end it turned the entire state against the offroad community so going "off trail" was out of the question if you wanted to keep any trails open and avoid legal action.
Yeah, hopefully Florida will never adopt that dynamic. Although, there are a lot of rednecks here too, so I don't think the threat of that is very real.

Speaking of signs and trespassing... I marked my original pic with were we saw signs and where we didn't. The spots with signs are off the map a little but that's the vicinity. And they were like County No Trespassing signs.
They were also near houses. I'm not sure if they just don't want people cutting close to someone's house? I mean, the area is very worn in and it looks like there's a lot of traffic through it.
The pin is actually labeled as a "KOA off roading area."
The KOA area has a sign at the 472 entrance and someone dumped a huge pile of glass there... No Trespassing, hunting or fishing.. it's high on the palm tree and looks fairly new..

i didn't go on the golf course side
I don't think I ever tried to go in on that side. I went in off Minnesota. Did you look over there by chance?

What's everyone's take on upgraded steering as far as the Y setup on the front. Was looking at B.lees but has heims and have heard mixed reviews on running those on a daily.

I'll let you know after I put my Rusty's crossover steering on mine.... been sitting around waiting for me to put it on since before Jeeptoberfest.
