Anyone else sometimes powerslide through corners when it's rainy? When there's no one else around, at a stop sign, turn tc off and get on the throttle a bit... or is it just me?
Man all the time:rock:that 285HP engine pushing 4500lb of pure soft suspension JEEP feels great drifting around corners in all seriousness not very often I have only done it once and it’s not my brothers Shelby gt500 I can tell you that lol also I live in DFW so high population area not very safe:( but at a OHV park that I go to there is a pretty long dirt road and I feel like a pro rally driver from the 80s there :)

My last car was RWD with an open diff and I'd do fun things around corners with drift lube on the ground.

Now with my jeep with the lsd, it's traction off and pin the throttle a little any chance I get when it's raining as long as no one is around me, or in the car with me. If I'm gonna do stupid things I'm gonna do it alone.

Gas in here Corruptifornia is $4+ a gallon for 87 octane. I'm light on the gas pedal!

Bridgeport OHV park great place
Thanks. I went there back in 2012 when I had my 2012 JK. Sounds like it's still one of our best options in DFW.

I am looking into a couple of local Jeep clubs... Lone Star Jeep Club and North Texas Jeep Club. Are you a member of either one?
