We proceeded on hitting a few familiar trails and exploring some new ones. We stopped by the quarry to try to take in the view. The heavy fog made even a short distance difficult to see.

Another Jeep came along and decided to give the water hole a go. Needless to say it was evident what considerably larger tires will do. The water didn’t even reach the doors on this Jeep.

After the parking lot festivities we hit the trail. Our group was small..just us in the jeepfan.com JK and Ralph from offroaders.com in their new FJ Cruiser. It was exciting to have a JK and FJ together on the trail for a little comparison. Both vehicles were well equipped for the trails and both had experienced drivers behind the wheel.

Well the weather didn’t completely cooperate with us on this day. It was the complete opposite of the day before. Rainy and chilly. The forecast looked grim and it pretty much came out as predicted – wet. Amazingly the rain was very light most of the day which allowed everyone to enjoy themselves and not get soaked to the bone.
The parking lot was buzzing with activity in the morning. Drivers were preparing their vehicles for the day ahead. Read more

The jeepfan.com JK needed a new CB and a new location for the CB. The old Uniden was mounted below the glove box. This location was inconvienient and cumbersome. Anyone who has ever tried to find a good location for a CB in a JK soon realizes that short of sticking it to the top of the dash real estate is scarce. Read more
