Howdy!
Long time lurker here... I've had my TJ "Mako" for a bit over a year now here in Tampa, Florida, and It's time for me to say goodbye... I've used him as a platform to properly learn how to work on cars... and now that he's reliable, It's time for me to learn something else!

Planning to do some light off-roading today. I feel under-prepared but do not plan to do anything remotely extreme. Will be at an off-roading park so expect to see other folks there.
Any tips or things you wish you knew/thought of before you went out off-roading for the first time?
I’ve seen these for a few other states and I know we have a few people on the forum living in Florida and they only thing that makes the little bit of off-roading we have more enjoyable is the people we do it with so I wanted to get a list going.

I have a 2006 TJ that I put a 4.25 lift on it about a year ago and just the other day I was taking a turn and it almost felt like the back axle shifted left to right then it made a loud clunking noise. It's only when I hit the gas wile turning...not a hard turn just like pulling out the drive...
So I took my 2000 Jeep wrangler sport on her maiden off-roading voyage and it was super fun until she broke down. Luckily we called a mechanic friend and after two hours of checking different things we ended up resetting the computer by taking the terminal off the battery and that fixed the...
I’m going up in the moutains today (Oregon,Timberline) and I removed the back seat so I could have more space. However, I noticed last night how sporty my 2.5L felt because of the reduced weight. Felt like the car was zippy-er and could accelerate more.
Being that this is my first snow driving...
Hey, so I have 1999 TJ and lately I've been hearing this noise, like something rolling left and right behind the dash or air vents (it occurs on both sides) Usually over bumps and uneven roads it happens 100% and annoys the heck out of me. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what...

I've been looking at every website possible to find something and either it's not legal or I risk getting killed by a group of isolated people (Stag Hill). Anyone have any locations?

Other than the Wrangler, do you guys think there are any modern Jeep models that have any sort of off-road capability?
I see all these new Jeeps on the road and none of them seem to be anything more than family haulers.
