What’s your favorite trail to take your jeep or 4x4 out to and why? Share details like location, difficulty, etc... Pics are a great bonus!!

Will be picking up a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee soon, courtesy of Mike aka @jeepfam  He picked it up around Oct 2017, from previous owner, with known transmission issues.

Here is what I know, from the original sale post by prior owner/builder:

"Stock 3:73, 35 x12.50 km2 barely any wear, 3 " pucks, 3" pro comp springs, adjustable IRO control arms all the way around, both IRO adjustable track bars- front is double shear, rough county winch plate with d rings, badlands 12,000 lb winch, serious off road 1 ton steering, new steering stabilizer not on yet. Lots of goodies. Motor is still strong, 407 injector swap, msd coil. Also I swapped the 249 for a 231 tcase.

I also have u joint driveshafts and u joint axle shaft. Switched from cv to 96 XJ axles with the big u joints."

 

Here's my list for current plans:

Repair/Replace Tranmission


Remove 3" springs and budget boost spacers


Replace with Rusty's 5.5" Lift Springs




Remove 35s - install on my 78 F150


Replace with set of 33x12.50 ATs




Install replacement front bumper cover


Go through mechanical items


Brakes


Engine


Steering






 

Who would be interested in some VA Off Road Sports Swag? A few years back we had T-shirts, Long Sleeve Shirts, and some Hoodies made... My sons have been begging for hoodies, and my 10yo has passed down his t-shirt to his 6yo brother.  Pics below show original shirts, may update the logo though.

I'm trying to gauge the interest before I float the funds for the shirts!

I also have decals available in the Store.

Ok. So I did not see a “Rigs” or “Builds” section. So I will put some info here.
My 1984 Scrambler:
I had been dreaming of owning a Scrambler since 1986 when I learned to drive and first saw one. In college I had a chance to buy one but was a poor college student so.....
Marriage, kids and life got in the way for a while, until I thought about Jeeps again (I had an XJ in high school and college). Bought a cheap YJ to see if I really wanted to get back into a Jeep. YES. SO i started a search for a Scrambler. I found a bunch I could not afford. I had to be able to drive it immediately so no “projects”. I found this one for a decent price in OH. Honestly, I should have kept looking. But I bought it.
Fixed a few things and made it better in my opinion as I was driving it around.
A few years later, I discover the frame was rotting out from the inside. Major holes. So I had to do a complete frame swap in my garage and driveway. I got a frame and built a rolling chassis in my garage.
Had some friends over to move the drivetrain and then move the body

I'm prepping to rip all my carpet out and get my Jeep interior bed lined.  Has anyone in here used a DIY liner kit on their rig? Something like the Raptor Liner kits you can get on Amazon. There's lots of YouTube videos of people spraying vehicles with it but I'm curious how many of those ever see any off road action. I'd much rather do it myself than pay someone too much. My plan is to do the interior first and see how that goes and if I like it then I'll repeat on the exterior.

Hi everyone. I'm Doug and I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. I stumbled across this forum looking for some Jeep trails in Virginia. I moved to Amissville from Baltimore back in February and now that everything is settled from the move I'm ready to get back out on some trails. I'm active military and spent about 10 years in Colorado. I drive a 2010 2 door Jeep JK that's way too clean right now. Thanks for including me in the forum.

 

Cheers

Doug

Hello. My name is Dain. I am from Ashburn, but grew up in Hampton, VA.
 
I had an 86 XJ in HS and college. Then had a Full Size Bronco instead of a minivan when my first kid came around. Then a few years later picked up a YJ to get back into Jeeping. Sold it to pick up my current daily driver, a 1984 Scrambler. We ended up picking up a 2015 JKU for the family/kids’ vehicle. And my wife recently picked up a 49 Willys CJ3a from a family friend.
 
I have been to Flagpole a few times, as well as The Cove at Gore, but mainly go to Rausch Creek in PA for big trips.
