I live in Charlottesville. I recently sold my TJ, so I won't have anything to wheel until I get my JK, but I'm pretty good with a wrench if anyone in this area needs a hand.

I'm not too far away from you. My parents just moved to Stuart's Draft on the other side of the mountain from you. Are there any good places to wheel near you? I've heard of a few but most are too gnarly for a stock JK . I haven't been able to mod it yet. I'll keep you in mind when I do.

Actually there were a few trails iin GWNF that were fun, but idiots trashed some an dthey were gated off. There still is Second Mountain, and Dictum, also Dry River. I don't recommend Dictum for the unexperienced, un less you let me come and video tape your descent or ascent!

We are actually planning a trip to GWNF on the 10th of feb, if anyone is interested in going.

here is thread for the trip, it may be a camping trip too if anyone wants to brave the cold http://rva-or.thinkmud.com/viewtopic.php?t=283
