Yup, tested em out at Badlands on 3/1 with a local club. They work great, I can go places I never could before. Did the Orange trail for the first time and played around quite a while in the quarry. Feel a lot better about the front diff now. Feels very solid, less afraid its going to grenade. Can't wait to get out again.

Nice!
I'd like to try the orange trail.... I have rock rails and a new big skid I need to try out.
Hope you can make it!

There's plenty off stuff you could do at Badlands in stock configuration but there are a number of trails where you may not be able to follow. PLENTY of stuff for you still to enjoy but i recommend you be wary of the testosterone bug that tends to get many into trouble. Just be aware of your capabilities/limitations and you'll have a blast. IMO there's plenty of areas there where you can test your vehicle's limits without real risk of damage which is nice as well (i.e. steep hills, steps, etc. without rocks). Anyone esle feel free to weigh in here.

And finally, a request. :( Someone please remind me that Attica's an hour ahead of Chicago so i don't show up an hour late AGAIN! :roll:

Theres plenty to do if you're not fully armored and there are usually bypasses around more difficult obstacles if your not feeling up to something.

You're out there to have fun so do what you feel you and your jeep are capable of doing :D
