The USMC burnt an H1 to the ground a couple weeks ago on the rock garden on Daniel. Coming down they cracked a fuel line and then hit the rocks and it lit up. Still a pile of melted metal and parts on the side of the trail, they drug the body out though.

Come on out mid July, it will be a run with less kids and celebrating two members birthdays...one of those being mine LOL.

We loaded up Sunday and went back out to finish off every trail except DickyBell, Kevin's WJ was the only one we knew would make that trail without on issue and on Sundays we don't have any time to fix things before we go home. Playing in the mud hole and some trail pix Found what was left...

Time to hit the trails! We had my xj with 31s, Kevin's WJ on 35s with long arms, and Joe's stock Taco We ran Rocky Mountain Loop, Saw Mill, Falls Damn, and the back side of Daniel before cooking some hot dogs one the side of Daniel while watching some FJs play on the slab piles. Top of Daniel...

Left Friday June 5th from Raleigh NC to the Outpost in Troy NC (35.446616, -80.020951) This was a club and family run for Mud N' Blood Off Road Club. My son and I packed up and headed out just after lunch time. Gas up and hit the road Popped a pin hole in the lower radiator hose half way...

Well if it is starting to loose the bottom end I'd say look into what you can pick up a 4.8L LS for. Much cheaper than the 5.3L and only about 10 horse less, plus no more carb! Motor and trans can be had from a pick n pull yard for under $800, then get the $200 kit for the wiring. Just a...

I'll finally jump in here, Bought this 99 XJ last summer and couldn't decide if I was going to keep it or not. Finally pulled the trigger and started building last month. The day I got it Rebuilding the front axle Cooling system rebuild Hood vents New rubber Restored the factory rims and...

You driving or flying out?

LOL, didn't see this before I PMd you. Maybe next time then. Have fun in the land of legal weed LOL.

Hey man, weekend of June 5th the club I'm part of is having a run to Uwharrie. Come hang and wheel?

I love the RTTs but they are too rich for my blood, plus I'd hate to pack that thing up at 11pm when one of the guys says "night ride anyone?" LOL.

Love that color on the JKs man, that's a great setup you have.

And the DOHC 4 in the last Cavalier made more hp than the 3.1V6 too, I'm quoting EXPERIENCE. Try 4400 RPM for it's supposed 260 ft#s.

I didn't say they have a bad resale, but you never get out of them what you put into them by far. I'm in coastal NC, Jeeps are made of gold here LOL. Even rusty XJs run $1500-$2000 here, and a new JK base model that the dealer put a 3 inch lift and some 35s and rims on will run you $45k(not a...

XJ>JK All day for me bud, but I don't dig loosing $3k before I get a car to my driveway anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the JK/JKU is a bad ride. I for one never had the fender styling grow on me but what they did with the D44s in those is great and the extra width is nice. For...
