I’m nowhere near you over here in the thumb.
The secret to fighting the salted or brined roads here is weekly car washes at a minimum with a good underflush.. do that for everything U drive.Ahh, I would love to check them out.
I'm a native of Kentucky and have only lived here for three years (moved up to marry my wife). In all my research about where to wheel in Michigan it looks like there's basically nothing down here, and there are gradually more and more trails the farther North you go, until you hit the UP which is like the jackpot.
Besides being newish to Michigan I also recently got my first Jeep. It needed a new transmission and the transmission shop just finished rebuilding it. But it's down in Kentucky at my parents' place and I don't plan on bringing it up until they're done salting the roads.
So I guess what I'm saying is: I'm really looking forward to seeing the Upper Peninsula for the first time, hopefully with my wife in a Jeep during warmer weather
There’s the mounds NE of flint and a few roads not maintained by the county’s, that’s about it other than private property.
It is tough to find great trails on the southern half of Michigan, they seem to get better as you travel north and super in the UP! Check with local Jeep clubs or groups around you, or in Indian River there’s a shop that’s really cool on promoting Jeeps and has a few Jeep rallies during the year ( Jeep Supershop)! As far as the UP goes bring lots of extra gas and the father west you go the hills and trails ( two tracks, logging roads or just dirt roads ) get better! Probably not as good as the hills in Kentucky, but still a lot of fun! Enjoy and welcome to Michigan!
Yep! A lot of traffic heading south in the morning, but worth the trip! Much better than living in the big city! Enjoy!
So... If the Lord wills then I will bring my Jeep up here and enjoy it
