Maybe it was that awesome announcement by GM concerning the mpg on the Volt

Default Mountainside Off-road Park

Thinking of going down to Mountainside ORV Park this Saturday to knock around a little. If anyone is interested in tagging along let me know. If any of you "new" JK owners are interested in joining, I'd be willing to spend some time with you going over some of the basics, and showing you around the park.

It's about a 1.5 hour drive from south Huntsville, and costs $10 a person for the day.

Default Volant Filter "Recharge"

Recharged (cleaned and re-oiled) the air intake filter, and installed a water repellent Outerwears pre-filter. Wasn't too concerned about water intake before due to the air intake design, but definitely feel more buttoned-up now with the pre-filter. Still very breathable (you can see through the pre-filter if you look closely), but water beads up on the surface.

Default Windrock/Coal Creek

. . . and while I'm silencing our thread with talk of a trail ride, has anyone else considered the upcoming ride at Windrock (near Oak Ridge, TN)?

speaking of silence...why haven't you sent me your contact info yet????

Sept 11th for Windrock, huh? That might be a nice diversion to take.
You still going tomorrow?

Yup!! Headed out in an hour or so - plan to reach Gadsden around 11:00, eat lunch, then head to the park. Wheeling for 3-4 hours, should be back around 6:00 this evening.

So far, so good. A little boost in mpg, plus a little more ummph at high end (mainly going up steep hills) = Happy Gary.

Big Brown Truck just dropped off a box. New sliders going on the Jeep as soon as I can find some time. And just finished a cart to roll the hardtop around. Made out of a couple of 2 x 4's and some casters from Harbor Freight. Definetely will make it easier to move the hardtop around once removed from the Jeep.
