lol... that's weird... not a single one of them around here are anywhere NEAR a kmart. In our county, we have one right next door to a contractor firm, one in a publix plaza, and one in a gas station... with a drive-thru

Yeah the closest one to me is the one in the gas station with the drive-thru... literally 3 minutes away. I haven't lost much weight since they moved in.

Got off work a couple of hours early yesterday and headed for the pit... met up with a couple of friends. I was planning on venturing all the way to the bottom of the pit, but the 4.2 in their YJ was having issues..... Still had a blast anyway.

Looks like you had fun. Nice work on your rig! After moving my CB around a lot I ended up putting it where you did to start with.

Looking good! Man, I need to make a trip up your way and go wheeling. a/b looks a lot more fun than Hardrock! It's only about an hour and a half or so from here.

Wish I could confirm or deny that... unfortunately, the last time I was at HR was to deliver building supplies to them from Lowe's when I was a delivery driver. Impressed them with my mad Moffett driving skills, btw

B-pit, however, is definitely a blast. Very techincal with tight turns and lots of off camber. Even has a couple of rock gardens, climbs and descents.

Come on up dude, you'll NOT be disappointed!

I might make a trip up there sometime as well. It would have to be after I get my new business off to a good start and on its feet.

Speaking of B-Pit... hooked up with a group in Gainesville that did a ride with a pretty decent size group this past saturday. It was a blast. I couldn't be happier with my Jeep. Even without lockers, it handled everything I threw at it. Biggest pucker factor was this downgrade that was probably a good 40* angle, 50 yards long w/ a tree in the middle of it that you had to bank right around... oh... and of course, it was wet clay. Yeah, I TRIED not to stand on the brakes the whole time.... wasn't workin' out for me. Luckily, the line was worn into the trail good enough that you could get away with just sliding down it.

Check it out... was a blast for sure.













This is that downgrade.... I might be off with the degree of slope... but it sure didn't feel that way.







I was actually mildly impressed with this X... the active traction nanny was pretty irritating, but all in all, it did pretty good for a stock street vehicle. Poor kid did end up with some body damage though. Driver's front fender kissed a tree lol



He couldn't make it up this climb though... high-centered it on every line.







I love my jeep...





...and this KJ with the 2.5 CRD was really impressive. This guy made it over almost everything mine did. I'd wheel with a KJ any day.



And this JKU was pretty cool too. Body damage on the rear of it - driver's side tail light was broken and the corner was bashed in. Instantly earned my respect lol





This guy showed up about half way through...



This was the trail boss's Jeep. That's his son driving. It wasn't until half way through when I saw the sticker on the side that I realized it was a 2.5 litre. You'd have never known it. Thing is a beast!



And of course my friend was there with his hacked up XJ... lincoln locked D44s front and rear on 35" Firestone Destination MTs for anyone wondering. Looks ugly as sin, but it will go anywhere you point it. Oh... and it's caged with a removable roof too.









Paul (the KJ guy) was the only one to attempt this one. Not sure why he went this way, but he ended up getting kinda stuck, was able to get himself out with rocking it and a k-turn, then ended up dropping a tire 'cause his valve stem caught a rock.... oddly enough, it didn't pop a bead or BREAK the stem. It was really weird.











Sorry... pics are kinda out of order. I didn't really take any of these, just pulled them off facebook as I was tagged in them so, that's probably why.



Yup.... that's my son. He dressed himself in that shirt too LOL!!!









This kinda makes me wish I had OBA... but then again, I wheel with Travis a lot so...
