Then post up some pics or videos!
Seems like alot of us have off-road rigs, so show it off. Done anything memorable with it?
Nothing hardcore; trail rides, hunting, ect…
My dad passed away a coulple years back and I inherited a couple of his trucks. Because of this I retired from hunting and sold the ZR2.
This was his 1971 GMC. I’ve got a little bit of work to do on it then it will be my new off-road ride.
.
I wish but where?
A little…
Black Bear, Colorado, 3/4 ton 6 cyl '69 Ford, 1976; same truck, Dempster hwy to Inuvik, NWT, 1979.
Love the stickers that say “It’s A Jeep Thing–You Wouldn’t Understand”.
After 40+years and 3 Jeeps (one complete rebuild from a total), a 1952 Land Rover, and a Toyota, maybe I DO understand. Twits. :jester:
This is my last rig and last time out wheelin’ near Lake Tahoe. 90 GMC Jimmy, Dana 44, Dana 60, TBI 350, 35"x16" Boggers with 11" lift:
Here’s my first 4x4, a 1995 Land Rover Discovery with 3" lift and 33s. I’ve done some great riding locally and at Uwharrie National Forest. I love this truck!
I actually enjoyed it so much I decided to get another land rover, a 2008 LR3. Unfortunately it doesnt see too many trails.
I wheeled my Wrangler once, found it very boring, so I bought a Honda CRF450X, sold that before my up coming PCS, but now buying a Honda XR650L in Costa Rica.
Jealous. That have the new 3.6 in it?
The green one is a 2010, I traded it in on the red one, a 2013 with the 3.6. We only had it 2 weeks when we took nit wheeling:D
The 3.6 has a lot more balls than the 3.8 did.
My boss has a 2012 and he LOVES the new 3.6. It’s his 4th Jeep and he said it compares very well against the old 4.0 straight 6. He did say that he noticed a little less low end torque which requires a little more gas/clutch when in 4H, but that the new engine more than makes up for it with much more upper end power.
I went wheeling with him a week ago. Only mods to his, a bare bones Sport, is a 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires. The Jeep had no problem on some steep hills and ate up rocky trails like it wasnt there.
A few days ago I went wheeling with another friend of mine who has a modified Toyita FJ Trails Teams edition. He had a 4 inch lift (complete with new shocks and whatnot) and 33 inch tires, some new skid plates and a few other things. We went to a different spot and went back deep into the mountains north of Phoenix. That truck has some faults, outward vision being the biggest, but it was an absolute animal on the trails. My buddy had me driving it and was purposely telling me to take the hard/bad lines up and down several hills. The FJ really impressed me.
I don’t have any pics of my current rig offroad, but here’s a little oops I had with my old XJ…
It was lifted 4 inches and had 32" tires.
Is that a frozen lake or something ?
Yep. Obviously, that trip would have went better if the lake was more frozen.
whoah, did you get her out all right?
Yep. Thank god the insurance covered the recovery though. It was an $1800 bill IIRC. They ended up totaling the jeep out due to water damage. I bought it back and fixed it and then drove it for another year and a half before I finally got rid of it.
I can understand that. Driving around at turtle speed getting knocked around in the cockpit. WOW!! 
For me, I like exploring. I rarely go to the same trails/seasonals. I like seeing new places and driving through the woods where everything is a surprise. That’s the best part, the exploration.
Although, a good hill-climb is fun too. Just put it into Lo-range, point the nose at the sky, and give it the beans.
all the time!
oh you said 4x4 
camping
helping out a two truck that got stuck on the river 
he was pulling out some chick in a volvo that got stuck and he got dug in trying to pull her out
funny though he said no way will you be able to pull me out with that think told him I had lockers and such and might as well give it a try before he called in for other two truck
he was quite blown away I should have said that will be $250 hahahaha
THE War Wagon! 
Should be getting a re-gear (from 3.55 to 4.56), armored diff covers, transmission band adjustment and B&M Transpak installed, armored transmission pan, Borgeson steering gearbox and HD steering shaft installed, and winch mounted, either later this week or early next week.
And THEN I can wheel it!
