Default Richloam, Central Florida

Here is what we did this weekend. It was three vehicles, all were recovered and all recovered one another, as it should be!

We have an FJ in the mix, an 06 Unlimited and my JK. This was the virgin run after the new wheels tires and FT 2" lift with Monos.

Love the Monos.


















Cant wait for the hurricanes to bring us some real water! Might need a new ARB snorkel

I like the matching rear bumper "alterations"

I love the lift/rim/tire combo on the Jeep green, looks awesome to me.

Thanks for the complements.

For those in central FL, Richloam is a 58,000 acre tract of wildlife management area managed bt the state. It is open year round, only rule stay on designated and numbered roads. For more info go to the state WMA site, or send me a message I will get you the info.

It is one of those places we want kept pristine and kept open to those of us who wheel and respect the areas we visit.

I haven't been out there in th JK yet, but have been stuck all over that place. Last time I was there it was bone dry. Looks like it has finally gotten some rain. Were the trails really overgrown?

Default Not too wet YET!

Just a month ago it was dusty and dry, it is just geting wet, not as wet as we had hoped for but getting better. Should be partially impassable by the end of sumer.

Some trails are grown over a bit but nothing I found blocked progress, if it did I just ran over it!

See you out there.

Default More pics next but first

a response to the YODA (FJ) question (sorry I know this is a JK forum, induldge me for a moment and I will post more pics of a JK).

The FJ has a 3" Old Man Emu lift, and OME shocks, an ARB front bumper with Warn winch, rock rails, Upgraded skids, and rear bumper "Alterations" very simmilar to those on my JK.

Now what he needs is some tires and wheels, and a new rear bumper.

By far the JK is the best stock vehicle you can get. After that it depends on how well you drive and the mods you do, after stock there are no true apples - to- apples comparisons.
