Default New Guy Near Chicago

Hey Everyone,
I have been wanting a JK for a few years now and finally bought one this past April. I am wondering what group would be the best for me to join.

I just installed some 1.5" wheel spacers on my '08 Sahara today

Addiction is slowly turning into obsession, I think

Welcome to the support group. Not sure how into off roading you've gotten yet.. but there's a large group going to the Badlands in Indiana on the 12th if you are interested. Many are camping out the night before. You are more than welcome to join. You will be amazed at how much you will learn in one day.

-Nickit, this sounds like a good time. Hanen't done anything off road yet. Surrounded by concrete and strip malls. I probably wouldn't be able to make it the night before, but I may be able to make it down for Sunday. What time would you guys start on Sunday and what should I bring?
