Alright cool just keep me posted on it.

What trails y’all planning on running when y’all go?
Dickey Bell and Dutch John are givens at this point. We typically hit Slab Pile and Rocky Mount first and then to the others.
When the Mrs. gets her Jeep back from @chevymitchell with the D44 axles and lockers we will start to play on the back side of Daniel then eventually run Daniel with Shawn spotting us :)

What's your build? We can make sure we hit trails that your build can handle first and then go from there? Have you off roaded before?

Front is open and the rear is the upgraded axle with the LSD.
You are good to go. You can do Dickey Bell and Dutch John with ease with that set up and also play around on Daniel... your Jeep that is. Now you just need to convince YOU that you can do it :)

Gotcha. We are 50/50 right now. We are down to one Jeep since the Mrs. jeep is getting D44s installed next week.

Y’all coming down for the Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam?

We kind of seized up the rear axle so it was time to take advantage of the insurance payment and upgrade. Nah, the beach in the summer don't agree with my wife's health problems plus it will be slammed packed.

Ahh makes sense, I had the knock in the rear axle like a handful of people on here have so I’m waiting for it to happen again.

And yeah that’s understandable it’s the end of April so tourist season hasn’t kicked in yet but I’ve lived in Myrtle beach for 13 years so I’m used to it or take the back roads.

We clipped the drain plug and slowly leaked the fluid out and the axle started to seize at 55 mph

Anyone know if Fort Fisher has reopened after the storm? Thinking about a trip down this Sunday.

Good question. My wife saw someone on another forum had gone this past weekend. Personally I would call first.
