played hooky last Friday and went rambling in the WMA near my house. Found a perfect camping spot, but unfortunately they don't allow dispersed camping. Of course, there was an obviously-used gravel fire ring ....
I also found a road on the map that hadn't been maintained in a while. There weren't any "road closed" signs, so I tried it for a short distance to see if it was passable. Once I came to a place where living trees would have to be removed I abandoned. I try hard to respect their rules, I'd hate to lose access. But I did get the chance to crawl over a few downed trees.

For those interested, the complete build up of my long-distance Expedition Jeep Wrangler JK is here: https://www.thelonejeeper.ca/My-Jeep-Wrangler-JK-2Doors-Soft-Top-2015.html
Have a good day Jeepers!
96 XJ. Just got back from a 17 day trip through SC, NC, VA, WV. This was on Canaan Loop in WV.
Nice pic and rig. Did you detail trip on this site? If not can you share some details on trip, I am in Richmond and make regular runs to Atlanta and would love to do a trip like yours. How much time was spent off pavement?
Thanks.

I'm going to quote you too, just so you'll get alerted to the post. Great looking XJ! What front bumper are you running? I'm interested in using something like the round bar over the winch as part of a fab idea for my ZJ. The size and shape on that one look like they might be what I need.
Thanks! I did not document it on the site unfortunately.
We actually kind of winged the first half of the trip using freecampsites.net whenever we got signal and found some places that were on forest service roads in national forests. The 2nd half we loosely followed the outboundoverland.com route but still kind of just found stuff. I would say 70% was off pavement with about 25% of that being more technical trails.
It's a Rough Country Winch bumper. They sell the bar seperately and have different sizes.

Out of curiosity, is that a stock color for the CJ8? The reason I ask is that I saw another 8 that looked the same color but I assumed he had painted it that color. I love that desert military color/look.
Nice rig!
