GWNF is in Harrisonburg, been there once before they closed it down for something, not sure if they re-opened it. I had a blast. Call down to the ranger station and ask if the 4x4 trails are open so you dont waste a trip.

They have several trails (1/2 doz +) and areas in which to enter in from, so you might wanna do some research or ask which would be best to go in when you call. And depending on the trail you might be sharing it with a few atv's or dirtbikes and stay off they dirtbike only trails, instant ticket if your caught. The trails are pretty easy to moderate if you have 4x4 and is ok for the inexperienced ones. Your going to want to allow for a full day because there are lots of scenic back country trails and stops; alot of families and stock SUV's go out there for a nice drive and even the heavily modified 4x4 trail rigs go.

Oh and they dont have too much in the way of mud pits, mostly rocks and bumps. If it rained recently you might get a little mud on the tires and lower rockers if it didnt dry up yet.

One of the more popular trails is Flag Pole.

Link to park is here. http://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/gwj/...73539&actid=93

If anyone wants to go to flagpole....
get to Harrisonburg you get on 33 west going towards west Virginia you follow it through court square and just stay straight it's going to be around 10 miles and you will come to the mountain. Stay on 33 and follow it up the mountain when you get almost to the top there will be a road on your left that says switzer lake take that road and follow it around the lake It will take you up the trails that trail will dump you out in one of 3 places hone quarry union springs/quarry or reddish **** wv by sugar grove navy base.

There are quite a few trails in that area. If you click this link, each OHV area is labeled on the map and the directory is on the left.

I haven't yet, but I just realized the other day how low it is. I think it's common to relocate it where the A/C used to be (for people who remove A/C). Anyone else with other ideas?

I am in the planning stages of running a dual alternator setup, and plan on keeping the ac compressor for onboard air. That way i can use other alt for onboard welder

I haven't even figured out where or how i am mounting it yet lol. Besides, why do you think you need dual alt??? Unless you are running an onboard welder it is pretty much a waste of time. Just my 2c worth...

You can lift the alternator by using a yj bracket instead. It lifts it a couple inches. Ill try to find the write up but im sure ot is on NAXJA.

Yeah, its on NAXJA, ehall did it. you'll have to convert to an electric fan setup as the YJ mount lacks the provision for the mechanical fan.
