Big Rock Off Road Park / New Jeep Trail!

bigrock · **Joined:** Tue Mar 16, 2010 9:32 am **Posts:** 27

We have been spending the summer mapping out a trail for the "everyday Jeep" driver. Our trail will allow you to experience "off-road" without the fear of tearing up your Jeep. The trail will take you through the woods, across creeks and take you down Sleep Hollow! The trail will take you through out the entire 2000 acre park. So pack a lunch, and enjoy it overlooking the City of Maysville and the Ohio River. We hope to have it ready in early October. Just in time to enjoy the fall colors!

Big Rock,

What's the latest on this trail? Leaves are pretty bright right now. When I get my KJ out of the shop, I'll be looking wheel in November.

heck yeah! and i still owe on my jeep a few grand too. im not scared to take it through the woods or the creek w/o skids. been wheeling it w/o skids for over a yr and a half now.

You need skids, :wink:

trust me it only takes one rock to pop up and then everyone you're wheeling with their day is done as well as yours. :banghead:

Get skids and be safe
Protection is always needed
:JEEPIN:

teckman02 · **Posted:** Sat Oct 16, 2010 11:31 pm

all i will say is be carful you can very easy when i was there i had no skids i came very close to putting a hole in my tranny pan on a rock in the creek

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:24 am

guys guys guys.....for one i do not need skids right now. i barely go off-roading for one and two i still OWE a few grand on my Jeep. So I take off-roading "lightly" and not often. plus i do not have the money to through into a full set of skid plates right now. if i go in a creek it's to cross it not wheel in it.

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:57 am

No better time than the present to start adding protection, I owned mine less than 3 days when I started modifying and adding everything to it! 6 years and 147,000 miles and I'm still changing/adding/ trying new things :ROTFL:

Look around and ask around. You don't need to get everything all at once.

skid plates are cheap insurance...i goto college too, but i bought mopar skids for under $40 each...so thats about $130 total for something that will save me from a tow home.

i know i looked at the mopar skids. theyre like $300 for everything. i can knock that out in one paycheck. guess ill do that on the next paycheck i get (so i can do some REAL wheeling :SOMBRERO:
