    Chihuahua 2016- A trip down to Old Mexico

    We continued on several miles on the river bed with some fun places where we even had to go on 4-low but no major problems at all. And just like we met some good old friends, we made new ones and even got invited to run some of their trails in the future and others who would like to join us on...

    Chihuahua 2016- A trip down to Old Mexico

    We were divided and went with the group we were assigned, headed to the trail and pretty soon were on the banks of the San Pedro river. We waded the river several times and went through some rough spots and some even had to be pulled up a few times. We saw large numbers of...

    Chihuahua 2016- A trip down to Old Mexico

    I don't know, but I can find out. It changes city every year depending on the host club, I've gone to the ones done in Creel and Cuauthemoc before. They go down there and come back in caravans with the clubs from El Paso, Tx and Juarez, all very nice people and they help each other out. I've...

    Chihuahua 2016- A trip down to Old Mexico

    Last week we went to a trip down to Old Mexico, I was invited to an off-road event, the state's annual 4x4 reunion; this year the event was held on the city of Delicias, in south central Chihuahua. We left a day earlier so we could visit and spend some time with my wife's relatives who live...

    Looking to absorb some of the Jeep wisdom here

    I see both points of view here and I'll give you my two cents too. If you can, IMHO; go with a new JKUR! Why limit yourself where you can or can't go, things don't always go as planned and the type of terrain we go through can change dramatically after just a short rainstorm and you'll be...

    JK Tire questions

    I've own a jeep for a lot of years now and have used several different lift kits as my jeep progressively grown to the point that now I build my own suspensions on my project jeeps. Now that I own a 2015 JKUR, I did a lot of research about the different lift kits out there and based on my own...

    How to pack up a JKU for camping?

    A hitch rack has worked pretty well for me. I carry the folding chairs, tent, canopy, small charcoal grill, gas stove, sleeping bags, gas can, etc on it and leaves enough space inside for 4 passengers, two dogs, the cooler, food, clothes, etc. I got a 300lb. ATV rack from Harbor Freight, it's...

    Trail Damage

    I've had plenty of trail damage, just not many pics of it. My rockers got pretty banged up here with that nasty rock. And here's a photo when one of my "indestructible" Pitbull Rockers got destroyed by a hidden root, when least expected. You can arc weld with two batteries, but works best...

    Why aren't popup's more popular?

    Great thread! I see an expo trailer/rtt set up for longer trips, expedition type of travel, but with family and shorter overland trips; a pop-up it's a great choice. They're relatively cheap and can be easily modified and reinforced to be used on rougher off-road trails and tons of upgrades are...

    Red River, Enchantment Circle New Mexico

    From the intersection of Main St. and NM38, continue south on Main St. (578) for about 3/4 of a mile and Goose Lake Rd. (486) it's on your right. Cross the river and just follow the road and signs.
