Being extremely new to Jeeps and ORV parks, do the trails tend to be loops of, say 5 or 10 miles, or are most "parks" fairly compact with people tending to "stack up" on busy days?
I'm new to ORV parks and that was my first real ride. There were a lot of vehicles that day because Morris Mountain was having something that weekend and it was crowded at times, but from what others with us said (that had been before), most times you can ride all day without seeing anyone. FYI, for reference, I'm running 35's. There's trails for everyone. It's a nice place. I want to check out the on in Gasden also since it's not but a hour to an hour and a half or so from me.

Mountainside Offroad. Yup, that's on my short list too. Let me know when you guys give it a whirl - maybe can bring some folks from Huntsville over. We've actually talked about "renting" it for a day; I think it's $300, which means we could have the place to ourselves for $25-30 each assuming we have the numbers.

I hear it's a good place. That's not a bad deal at all. Yeah, 10 or so and that's what it cost you any way to run with who knows how many. If you guys plan anything like that and you're short on peaople, let me know and I'll see if I can't help out.

Hey In5ane,

Saw a Red Rock 2dr (stock tires/wheels), with JK stickers on the side, driving down University yesterday. There's all kinds of folks from our neck of the woods on this forum. I should have asked them if they were interested in some Rubi tires/wheels.

By the way, Dennis and I are planning a "Lift Kit Install Party" over at his house when my 2.5" Coil Kit arrives within the next 3-4 weeks. Main purpose is to get the lift on, but if we offer free pizza, maybe some folks will drop by and say Hi.

Thanks, I made a few contributing posts and a few trash posts over the past couple days just to get to 100.
