and went and played at Moon Rocks. Good times. My buddy in the cherokee wouldn't or should I say couldn't follow me on most of the obstacles.

You can see the freshly upturned dirt form him spinning tires.

I didn't plan on pushing the KJ today but couldn't help it. I didn't even air down the tires though.

If you look to the right of my KJ you can see the step obstacle I was headed up.

At the top of it.

Coming over the top from the front.

A bunch of poser shots taken of the same pose from different spots around Moon Rocks.

This will be my new avatar...

Great shots, esp. the last one and the third from the end :lol:

Again I ask, why do I live in Ohio???? would be so cool to have someplace close like that to play. :wink:

Thanks for sharing

I would have taken more shots but we were too busy wheeling and then the camera died. That place is great, tons of fun for stockers to built buggies. I did get stuck for the first time in the KJ today. I couldn't reverse or go forward and was high centered on the rear axle and belly. I wasn't paying enough attention and didn't have a spotter. Lucky for me there are no pics to prove or remind me of it. It was the last obstacle of the day too, go figure.

that last picture is outstanding and your KJ looks sick as usual!! good idea to re-use the stock signals.. i thought you were going to get some smaller LED ones?

no wonder the XJ was having problems keeping up.. i've seen a KJ with powertrax in back and DLL in the front and it was a TANK.

I still don't have the front DTT in. Sitting in my garage giving me the stink eye. I bought some round lights that turned out to be parking lights instead of turn signals and then just bolted the stockers back on instead. They cover up more of the unibody too.

I think Tom and I need to move out your way! Florida doesn't have much as far as fun places to play either. :cry:

It is about 30 minutes outside Reno (northeastish) on the way to Pyramid Lake on state route 445 I think. It is a Mecca for dirtbiking and quads as well. They hold races out there as well as buggy competitions. It is awesome.

I'll tell you though, I am really gla I beefed up my skids with angle iron. I was all over them today. bashing left and right. No dents, surprisingly enough, but they aren't solid red anymore. And my rear diff got all sorts of scraped up from when I got stuck on the last obstacle. I beat it like it stole from me. :shock:

Thought about it and I didn't like the looks enough to do it. Would be easy to bolt to the skid and my front bumper though. Already had bolt locations on the bumper. If I did do it, I'd want a heavy duty skid, not aluminum. Doubt I'll bother but maybe.
