So I tossed my kiddos in the JK yesterday and headed out for my first real trail ride. Again I have to say this JK amazes me everytime I go out. An experienced Jeeping friend of mine (bigljking on the forum) lead the way and lead me through places I know that I would have turned around and said "not a freakin chance I'm going to attempt that!!" A couple water holes even had my kids telling me that water was coming in the bottom of their doors!

Here is a short video from a section of my first real trail ride. Was a pretty good drop off dropping into the mud hole before I could get on the gas!

Looks like you all had fun

 

I had some initial pucker factor, but soon realized the JK could do it!

 

thats normal for new offroaders. I've been wheelin for 15 years and I still till this day receive the pucker factor on certain trails. Glad you guys had fun and you finally see that the JK is a beast and can handle a lot more than most think. Just take care of her, and she will take you any where.

 

Nice!! Looks like a fun trail!

 

It was awesome for my first trial. I bit of pucker factor at first, but I quickly realized what the jk could do!
