What's up guys? This thread seems a little more active than some of the other Tennessee threads. I've owned my JK for about 3 weeks now and I'm heading up to Nashville in a week or so to visit a buddy for the weekend. I was wondering if there were some simple trails we may could hit up on a Saturday while I'm up there? Not looking for anything too extreme, just want to get out and ride a little.

Thanks!

Fixed your post.

Not yet, but I understand half the guys from GA are now, or soon will be, hydraulic steering assisted. Looked into it, but supposedly it doesn't work especially well with a manual transmission - need to study it a bit more.

Hope you're patient - you may be in for a little bit of a wait.

I bought Taylor's front axle, and PSC system to replace my little 30. Hopefully no more shredded gears. I just got my new 5:38s today cuz Taylor's were chipped up. So I upgraded the whole Jeep. Can't wait to get this thing under my Jeep and get back on the trails. I haven't been out since Moab

Looks like I'm adding Huntsville to the list of places to stay away from when looking for a hooker.

Wow, youre still trying to dial that thing in huh. If you had to do it all over again, would you go that route?

So, $5000 back in my pocket, or the cruise control surging, rough idling at cold, engine cut out during moderate acceleration, a 2-3 mpg loss in fuel efficiency . . . hmmm, that's a tough one. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
