Going to Rocks & Valleys for a wheeling fix, Saturday September 17th.
There is a "Wheelin' for Ronald" charity event(https://www.rmhc-detroit.org/event/wheelin-for-ronald/)
that day or you can also pay the normal park fee to get in.
The plan is to be off the trailer and hitting the park at 10 am til ?
Don't forget to bring a flag.  I have an extra if someone wants to borrow it.

Please post up here if you plan on attending.

I know a guy that is looking for 4 -15", 5 on 4.5" stock Jeep rims.
Preferably aluminum with a stock offset, no wider than 7".
IM me if you have anything.

Good video on what to carry for a one day trail ride:

I have a great set of 31 x 10.5 x 15" BFG All Terrains that are like new I would like to offer to club members before the general public.  I gauge the tread life at 98+% with even wear and no cupping. $400

I have a good set of 33x12.5x15" Kumho Road Venture MTs I would like to offer to club members before the general public.  I gauge the tread life at 50-60% with even wear and no cupping.  The center tread has been siped for wet and icy conditions.  $375

Came across this strange site yesterday morning while going to breakfast.
Jane's nephew recently purchased a driving range and their range tractor was broke down so he improvised for the first mowing of the season and used his girlfriend's Wrangler to pull the recently purchased gang mower around the 15 acres.

He said it worked out great!

Why not mow with a Jeep?

FYI
Found this website that has quite a few reviews on topics such as Mud tires, All terrain tires, winches, suspensions, etc.
A lot of good articles, tips, pictures and general information.

Anyone interested in doing the Easter egg hunt at http://rocksandvalleys.com/ on April 18th?
A couple of us attended this event last year and it was a lot of fun...looking for Easter eggs while wheeling!  Some of the 2,000+- eggs have candy in them and others have numbers for a prize.

Will try to post some pictures/videos tonight.

My brother has someone at work that is in need of a spare tire/rim for his '83 CJ.
The specs are: 31 x 10.50 x 15" 5 x 5 1/2".
If you have something that may work for him please post it up here and I will let him know.

My son and I are in need of some cable to go along with my 100' cable that came off my winch when I switched to a synthetic rope.  We are attempting to construct a zip line over our pond and are short on cable.  If anybody has some cable they are willing to relinquish for a good cause, please bring it to the meeting on Sunday.

Thanks,

Jim

I know a guy in need of a transfer case for his XJ if anyone has one or knows of one(Jeff?).
