Re: Glad I Had My TJ
haha awesome!
Y'know, whenever I see on the news that this street or that was
flooded and people in cars were stuck, and I see in the video taken
that the water was only a couple feet deep or so, I find myself
thinking how fun it would be to have been there and just drive on
through like it was nothing ;-) Glad you got to do it! -- and congrats
converting another! That cop sounds like a good guy! And it definitely
doesn't hurt to have a cop for a jeepin' bud!

Re: Glad I Had My TJ
Just outside Romney, I have an elbow relation that lets me visit and run the
logging roads on his property. There are some real steep hills and a stream
that we forge.

Re: Glad I Had My TJ
Yes, you are correct that is why I put it in 4WD, there was also a lot of
greased owl snot silt on the road and it was a good 25 yds across. Come to
find out all the drainage was clogged saw the County guys cleaning them out
today.

Re: Glad I Had My TJ
Yes, you are correct that is why I put it in 4WD, there was also a lot of
greased owl snot silt on the road and it was a good 25 yds across. Come to

Re: Glad I Had My TJ
Yes, I go to a local closed indoor shooting range where the local law
enforcement, FBI, and DEA shoot. It is at a nuclear power plant, I go with
a DEA buddy. Well, the short of it is one of the guys that works there has
access to the power line trails so I get to do some off roading with him and
his Rubicon. There is some real serious hills and valleys to navigate.
