I had to winch today. Got called out.

I seemed to be paranoid on my control arm mounts getting snagged. I need more time behind the wheel in those situations
 
. I have taken a stock TJ on 31's all through the Ozarks, Ouachita's, and even through some Level 3 trails at Hot Springs.

Do you have a good resource for trails in the Ozarks and Ouachitas? I've downloaded the USFS MVUMs but no way to tell whether I'm heading out for something fun or a boring dirt road. I like to have some info before I drive 3+ hours.

I've been wanting to travel some of the Arkansas portion of the TAT. A motorcyclist created the route but I'm sure a Jeep could travel some or all of it.

I am just north of mountainburg ar. I went up warloop rd Saturday which is a part of that. Been through there a few times.
The trail picture is called “the slab” fairly steep concrete out in the sticks.

I’ve been noodling around the Ozark St Francis/buckhorn area for 15yrs. With all the trails designated uhv anymore it’s hard! What area are you in? Come up here one day like mountainburg. I’ll take ya on a trip gravel rd to the trail head and then Shazaam! We can run through the leg that this post is about.
Fb Nwa jeep club. I’m plastered there.

I'm in the OKC area, so it's 3.5 hours just to Fayetteville. Ouchita is over 4. This new (to me) locale is an adjustment from when I was 15 minutes outside a national forest and it didn't take a big time commitment to just go explore.
