It's difficult but doable. Mike and his friends are always there to help me when I get stuck. I am also without lockers or a winch. What part of LI are you from Crash?

It's a jeep!
Lockers and winch are add ons, not needed for basic wheelin. Don't get me wrong nice to have but as wheelin here is done with a group you don't have to worry about getting stuck and being left behind. Getting each other "unstuck" is half the fun.
Driver skill is 75% of the equation on normal trails. If you are new to wheelin than it is a safe bet that a stock jeep will do more than most new wheelers are willing to try. Have to start somewhere.

Just Words is a perfect example. He climbed a hill at my place that has stopped many lifted and locked vehicles with his open diffs. The real incline of the hill is tough to catch on vid but trust me you climb it on all fours, can't walk up it.

Hey, mike. I would love to go wheeling with you guys..!! I'm from Brooklyn. I'm fairly new to wheeling. The only wheeling I've done was back in 1996 while in the Marines stationed in Georgia. I have a stock JKU but this wknd I'm cutting the stock fenders to flat fenders and adding some 35's. I'm dying to get the jeep on some trails..!! So if at all possible, can you add me or keep me posted as to your next outing..?? Thanx.

No problem guy's we do it all the time. If your into rausch this place won't do much for you, its very small just 4 miles of trails. Don't want to mislead you this is not an off road park just my back yard really. We make the most of what we have due to there being so little that is legal.
