Nooooooo! Trip delayed. I am blowing fuses for "trailer tow battery charge" in f250 can fuse box....
We went down moonrocks also and dang got into so stuff that was above my comfort level for sure, sidehill rock crawling. I got tipsy once and was able to throttle out. Had to climb a tree to put a winch rope up 12 feet to get up that step in middle of right side on moonrocks on way back up. The buggies made it look like a curb. I didn't get to do hardly any exploring of the trails. This group was mainly into rock only.Did you just play there at Funny Rocks or hit some of the other trails also? Yes the Forest Service roads up there have some great speed bumps.
I'll agree buggies are great for some things but as you said they aren't street legal so their use is limited.
You rig looks great climbing the crack. Walked right up it too.

Who’s tune are you running in your rear shocks?The jeep did soooooo good. The roads up there are seriously rough, tons of rock, some extremely loose stuff and then some sticky sandy rock too. Loved having full 6" uptravel which I used 100% of many times. Back end is absolutely cush. The Currie bumps and soft foxes are doing great. I ran one road at street pressure 30psi and the fronts are valves pretty rough but at 10 psi the front felt much better.
Traction was incredible, even when I slipped. I had to bump a few times and the rear climbs so well night and day over short arms in rear.

I think that last pic is the one we sketchily winched over. There's a lot of exposure to bump over that face, you really do not want to go backwards there and it's quite a step now. How long since you've been?Pictures don't do that area justice. There are some AWESOME trails to explore over there. I can't wait to start playing on them again.

The washboard on the roads is brutal. It's one area where the AiRock really shines. Yes you can get way past your comfort level REALLY fast if you aren't careful in that area.
Fullstack did my rears. Initial tune was too much damping. Second tune he added the LSC clicker and softened up. I am at the min setting on the clicker and it's riding pretty nice.Who’s tune are you running in your rear shocks?
Do you know what your initial tune was? I see several people mention a medium tune.Fullstack did my rears. Initial tune was too much damping. Second tune he added the LSC clicker and softened up. I am at the min setting on the clicker and it's riding pretty nice.
Ah you ran your winch line to the right, there was a closer tree but it was really at a sharp angle.I hooked up my winchline for safety but ended up not needing it. I haven't been up in that area to play since 2013. My ex had a CJ-5 that we used after my TJ went down but then we got separated.

Not sure it was probably just his standard tune. I didn't give a lot of info to him so i don't think it would be anything but the average tune. Plus at the time of initial order i was on short arms with OME's in front so a lot has changed since then.Do you know what your initial tune was? I see several people mention a medium tune.
Hey thanks Wildman, i ordered that book. we didn't have any maps at all just tribal knowledge stuff which was awesome, but having maps to explore would be fun too. I was thinking of a hunt trip over to republic area this year and that'd be cool to explore / hike / jeep around. Lot more options to have fun with at trailer for sure.No we put a Jeep up at the top of where I wanted to go and used it as an anchor. Ended up not needing it but it was a fun crawl just to see if I could do it. I like Rock crawling to a point but enjoy technical trails more so.
There are a ton of trails. If you have ever looked at the PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree there is a list of the more popular trails up there to hit. Once my Jeep is running I am going to have to refamiliarize myself with the trails. I'm sure some of it will come back once I start driving some of them. Plus now most are routed with GPS.
These are sold as UTV guides but the trails are legal for Jeeps also.

If you want to know what it’s like to not have any ORV spots move to Ga. We have one open to 4x4 and it has 6 trails that total to 10 miles. There’s a couple of private parks in the state but most of the good parks are in Alabama and Tennessee.Wow book already arrived! Man just goes to show we have few ORV options around. I'm grateful for what we have but like there's nothing in Whatcom Co
Ok we are better than that, but not a lot, especially on the west side.If you want to know what it’s like to not have any ORV spots move to Ga.
