Yeah but you'll be limited in some areas....
I didn't think that area was deep until I went to a south Florida jeep club "BBQ" with Gary and they had those huge truck with tractor tires....
Of they were getting stuck in 50-70" tires could you imagine us?

But there is a mud hole that you can play in but once you go to the back(deep slushy mud) front and rear tow points are required....

 

I don't work for NOAA, I work for Baptist Health as a Supervisor for security.
If a hurricane comes, I have to go with an engineer to make sure that all of our urgent cares and corporate buildings get secured/locked down.
Then after that, I go to 1 of our hospitals, to assist with securing that facility, and ride the storm out there.
Stressful, but damn good OT.


Back on topic. It doesn't look too bad for Sunday, I'm still down to go, but 've never been back there, so I would like to have someone who knows that area pretty well, and can help get me out if I get stuck.

 

I am part of the DRF (Disaster Relief Force) for storm cleanup in South Florida. 766 En Co, Ft. Lauderdale.

 

Cool. One of the major reasons I bought my Jeep was out of fear of flash floods here in South FL. My wife went out one night in Fort Lauderdale (US1 and Cypress) and it was raining so hard that on her way home, her car couldn't make it through the water. The water was so deep it stalled out and filled the foot wells inside. Car wouldn't start. I was up to my waist in the middle of US1. Then about an hour or so later, someone unclogged the drains or whatever and it all disappeared.

Obviously I would take off with advanced notice of a serious hurricane, but a big part of me would really wanna stick around and help clear the road and to help people who either couldn't afford a hotel or the elderly who were stuck in their homes.

My only other vehicle is a 2002 Corvette, so it's not doing me any good in the midst of a storm. It'll suck up water through the ram air intake long before my wife's car. At least now I've got a lifted jeep that's almost worthy of entry-level disaster relief, just need a winch.

 

Good morning guys. Boss got me working again! Hey 88, how far are you from 595 & US1? I got a job down there at 4. I can bring that console n pitman arm for you.

 

I'm going to head down there soon. Not sure who I'm looking for or what I'll be doing but I'm definitely a fan of the buddy system after getting stranded in the forest once.

If anyone else is going, shoot me a text 954-599-581seven

 

Hardly anyone is here. Not sure where to go. Went down one path that went on for a while but being alone with a Jeep that's never been off road before I got nervous and didn't gamble going into areas I've never been before. I nearly tipped over in the parking lot area going through some deep water. Came all the way up to my door and was at a 45 degree angle trying to keep 2 wheels on dry so I didn't get stuck.

Without knowing how deep some of these water holes are and no one to guide I didn't want to leave things up to chance. Would be happy to explore the area with a few people next time. Probably going to need to add disconnects too. I couldn't believe how choppy and bumpy it was. It was more like rock crawling for me than anything else. Maybe it's just my setup.

I managed to get through one trail and got out to check the water's depth with a stick a few times. Got eaten ALIVE by mosquitoes.

Would like to find an area that's a bit smoother.

 

Lol that's the thing I forgot to mention...
For about the first 1/4 mile it is rocky *** hell! Lol
I went with my girl and she hated it...she thought I was playing around when I told her to put her seatbelt on....
But once you get Into the open field it's pretty much a mud hole...

 

Both went on the operating table today .Egr vavle and fuel filter for the Monte. Beast got a cooling super flush and transfusion.

 

Hoping I got my cooling issue sorted out found more chunks in radiator .Did a evapo rust flush and 4 hd prestone flushes. Covered grill with 2 beach towls ran xj at 2,000 rpm for 15 minutes never got near 200. Letting the last flush sit over night. Do a final fulsh tomorrow. As for Dan with trouble should be able to do Transfer Case rebuild in 2 weeks . Could use some help getting the case down its a cast Iron 205 divorce case . Then we can start mudding again. The x owner of Krome has 300 plus acres hes gonna let us ride on off okechobee . He wants to be there the first time we go to place faces with names and rigs. Seems like its gonna be a select crowd he will allow on his property this time .

 

I'd love to meet him and get his approval. I was also kinda disappointed by the amount of trash and bull**** people have thrown all over the place at 8th street. Wtf man?

 

Sounds good. I need to do the same one weekend I get off so I can place a few faces.

 

I'm down to help out...let me know

 

I'm about an hour away....

 

I may not make it very early, tomorrow guys.
I got an invite from Sweetwater PD to go play with their SRT Team for awhile at Trail Glades.
I should be done around 4pm or so, if anyone is still out there, I'll swing by.
