Default SW VA XJ's/MJ's, Roanoke/NRV to Bristol, post up!

NOVA is represented, Central VA is represented, Richmond-east is represented.

I thought I would start a thread for us SWVA Jeepers! After all we have more wheelin' spots but probably less internet connections. Its time to "come out of the woods" and post up!

I'll start;

xjtrailrider, Roanoke VA(from Franklin County), I wheel all over. Potts Mountain is my home trail but I also wheel at Harlan, Mt City TN, URE, Flagpole, Crozet and soon to go to ShoeCreek.

Affiliations; Southwestern Virginia Four Wheelers, Star City Crawlers, NAXJA, Jeepin.com, Jeep Commander Forum, JKOwners, ComancheClub and of course CF

My rigs;

Blacksburg, VA!

The only trail that I have run around here is Potts - would have done more, but I went up to the Cove in September (or thereabouts) and completely wrecked my TC chain. Anywhose, that's recently fixed and I'm ready to hit Potts again when it reopens!

Alright! Keep the posts coming!

I've seen the lifted ZJ, I work in Salem. SCC has a bunch of XJ's on there but no one on that site wheels much except me, Hadfield and a couple other XJ's.

The SWVA4wd crew wheels a good bit.

I know all about Tazwell Grundy and Richlands, My dad grew up on the other side of the border in Ieager, West by God VA

He got his green card and got out with a full ride basketball scholarship to Ohio State back in the 50's, never went back. He said the school in Ieager taught the three "R's", Reading, Riteing, and the Road to Roanoke. So he moved to the 'noke after college.
