Florida Roll Call!

[X99104]

Okay cool. Im down for some wheeling and fun, i only have 600 miles on mine so not quite ready for scratches yet. I want to get something else to beat the crap out of.

I'll be honest here. I'm looking for Clean (no damage) fun also. Still have too many payments to make myself. I daily the hell out of mine. Key thing always is be comfortable with the situation/what you are doing any time you wheel. No offense to anyone but If it gets too hairy, I am man enough to admit I can't or won't. I learned a long time ago to push limits but never break them.

A good coat of wax will help with any limbs that happen to touch.

I am not familiar with the trails but with 80 miles or so, Think we can find something to suit us all. The key thing is to have fun.

Sorry Guys, I won't be able to make this trip. I will have family visiting and staying with us for the holidays. My Wife would not be too happy if I left her alone for a couple of days with the in-laws. lol.

I want to wish all of you Happy Holidays!!!!

p.s.; I'm expecting to see some pics posted here of the trip!

You will be fine. Narrow trails are marked. Off-road is off-road. If we begin down a trail and it gets super narrow we will adjust fire.

Morton, please count me in too. Not sure if I can do it yet, but I would like to keep my options open. Hooah!

If anyone is interested (including anyone I may have left out) I will be planning a Wheelin’ trip for Saturday, Dec 28th.

More details to come tonight. Please RSVP by mentioning @MORTON so I can get a head count in case I need to get a permit.

It will be a great time for us all to get together.

Kids/Wives friendly so that’s cool too.

One day ordeal, go Wheelin’ maybe grab some chow and split. Would be beginning in the AM.

Happy Holidays!

@MORTON RSVP: Me and the wife will be there! just give us a time and place to meet up.

Let’s make the Florida section the most active fun group!

Any ideas on a cheap 2-way radio on Amazon? I don’t have a CB yet and don’t have the time right now to deal with it..

Are you looking for some commo for this trip to Ocala? I have 3 Hand Held CB radios I can bring, They're not the best but they will do for our purpose.

I may be able to actually sit down tonight and get it done finally haha

Very soon either way! I've got most of it already done.

Stay tuned!

Hey Floridawolfman, Have You been to the Rusty Razor in Deland with that beard?

 

[Ran4]

@MORTON, I'll be there. Thanks for putting it all together. If we end up using FRS radios, I think I might have a couple of those..

 

[TrailTorque]

Tomorrow I am going to work quite a bit on the trail run particulars. I will be posting here when complete so please stay tuned if you’re the least bit interested. I really hope to see you all there as it’s great to get together, meet new people in our Jeep community!

IN THE MEANTIME I need you all to do us ALL a favor. It only takes one email to FCA Jeep BOH team. If we want trails added in our state it will take more than just me to get it done.

After speaking with a representative from FCA the way it works is the more people who request it the higher the priority becomes.

So without further, have you, your spouse, your friends, whoever send the below information (copy/paste) to the following email address. Let’s get a Jeep BOH in our backyard!!!

A note for those who may be inexperienced:

We are out there to have fun. If you do not feel comfortable in the technical portions of the trails there are bypasses. There is absolutely no shame in choosing to take a bypass.

On the other hand, there will plenty of eyes on you & your rig, what better way to get out of your comfort zone and attempt if you feel you want to. You will be surrounded by people who know what to do and will guide you and give you direction. We will ensure you will be fine, it’s all about having fun.

*Reminder about trash:

The Jeep family motto is to leave every trail cleaner than when you arrived. Let’s keep that in mind while Wheelin’ or chillin’ on the trails. If you see trash pick it up. If you do not have a trash bag or forget to bring some we will have you covered.

**This post is the official post for the holiday trail run and will be updated often.

Stay tuned!
