Didn't get to do as much wheeling as I wanted to because the first part of the morning was spent clearing trails from last year's hurricane activity. I had to leave around 1130 so I could get home and get some sleep for night shift, so I only got to go down a few trails.

The Hooptie did great though. Moment of pride for me was walking up a really technical lime rock section that the hacked up yellow XJ also walked through (it has lincoln locked d44/d30 axles and 35s), meanwhile the rest of the Jeep pack behind me struggled to find the right lines and had to make multiple attempts.

This wasn't all the Jeeps that turned out for the ride, but this is the XJ/MJ pack that showed up. There's another XJ off screen with a full roof chop and an interior/exo cage combo. Normally that's a dominator too, but he's been having fuel/spark issues.




Bunch of beasts.
MOAR PICS!!!





K, it's just 2 more. But moar is moar.

I hope one day I get to wheel in FL. Everything is so different out there then out here. It's like you are driving through a jungle! Everything out here is just dirt in different forms and shapes.

Ceiling is a little low for my taste. The owner of it is a good 5 or 6 inches shorter than me so it doesn't bother him much. I haven't ridden in it and probably won't just 'cause I don't feel like smacking my head on the cage lol.

We should all go to windrock or something. Maybe we could even get Neal to come down.

That'd be pretty damn cool. Have to plan that for like next year or something. No way it's gonna happen this year... at least not for me anyway.

But we definitely need to make it happen.

Hey, that reminds me.... a few of my friends make the trek up to Black Mountain in Harlan once a summer.... might be a good place for us all to do an epic wheeling trip!

I'm down, I've always had fun at harlan. Just figured windrock was a little farther south and west. Also, it's massive compared to anywhere I've wheeled. If I'm given a little advance I can Wheel most places around the southeast.

Let me know whenever you're up around this way wheeling and I'll try my best to make it. I can't promise anything, but I do love wheeling!
