So this morning, when I was on my way to work, I had the off-roading itch. I just put new 33’s on my Sport and wanted to see what these babies could do. So there’s an area around my town that is a pretty cool looking work-site/rough terrain patch. It’s obviously private property – tractor-trailers go in and out sometimes to dig up dirt to bring to other sites and such. Well it was vacant today. No vehicles, no one working, and there’s public access to that area through a back-road. This area is somewhat close to the main road so people can see you if you’re not careful – especially if you drive a bright yellow JK with a big smiley face tire cover on your rear!

What do you do when you ‘re not allowed to trespass onto a vacant dirt lot (which has lots of nice boulder piles, shrub fields and delicious dirt mounds to climb), it’s raining and you have the off-road itch? Well you break the law and go wheelin, that’s what!

On went the 4WD low, jumped off the pavement onto the dirt and enjoyed climbing rocks and mounds and blasting through waist high shrubs. Oh what a good time! I was just about to clear a cluster of trees when I noticed a white F-250 pickup suddenly park along the main road, about 0.25 miles away. I could just FEEL their eyes burning in my direction. Shoot – I was spotted! And I was trespassing! I saw them hit reverse, trying to get to ther road where I was… so I gunned it through the rough terrain and got as quick as I could back onto the back-road pavement. As quickly as I could shift to N, switch the transfer case to back to 2H, and go back to drive, I was booking it down the road. I look into my rear view mirror and this SOB F-250 is coming after me full speed, probably calling the cops at the same time!

I floor my little JK and thank goodness for twists and turns because I gained enough ground on the bastards, hit the main road, travelled a smidge of a mile then turned into a maze of a sub-division and lost them! Thank goodness for the JK’s surprisingly spritely acceleration and the pure heft of that lousy F-250 work-truck. I took my time, meandered through the sub, and finally got back onto another main road on the other side, headed for work – heart still pounding, looking out for a white pickup. I couldn’t help but to yell out a “heck yeah!” just for being stupid, happy and scared all at once. I made it to work without any further pursuit.

It would have sucked getting arrested for trespassing while in my work clothes and laptop bag in tow. Or getting beat up by a bunch of tough construction workers in a white Ford pickup truck. Here’s hoping they haven’t homed into the one yellow, smiley faced tire cover JK in the neighborhood and issue me a citation! Man that was a royally stupid morning…. And oh so FUN!

 

as a site manager, I can't decide if what you did is cool or not...

wait...
wait for it.....




I DO THIS EVERYDAY ON MY JOBSITE !!!!!!!

 

Lol good stuff!

 

I would probably be ready to kick your ass at first!

then after stoping yelling and scaring the shit out of you, making sure you didnt break or steal anything, and you apologizing for tresspassing


then i would probably join in!

 

Wow, I totally had a flashback to high school, and I enjoyed it!

Sometimes it feels good to be bad....the rush of being chased is surprisingly fun, at least once you get away.

Thanks!
