Who likes to go off roading? Show your 4x4 thread

Is that the only trail there? Oh and that would be a cool photo op place.

Just one through the center and one around the perimeter of the quarry. Overall it's relatively a small area if you're just looking to off-road but the setting is pretty cool. The path going through the ponds is only wide enough for 1 vehicle and anything bigger than a small SUV won't be able to make the turns.

Updated pics. LED lightbars are incredible. Shoulda added them years ago.

The slow offroadish trailer build needs to pick up some speed, but dang is it handy.

Just joined this forum because of a link to this thread! I need to get to know some of you guys! That rock quarry in Hamilton County, is that Beavers? I cant get the picture to upload from my phone.... but here's my rig: 1998 Jeep Wrangler 2" lift, 32's, solid steel bumpers. Big plans, small budget.

You need to host the pic someplace off-site, like photobucket, or some other place.
Then copy the link to your clipboard.

Yes I did! I helped get that group rolling with Robert Irk a while back. It's taken off! I'm back in the Indianapolis area now, Fishers to be exact. I don't know anywhere to wheel here. That's why I was hoping he'd spill the beans on the quarry. I'll try to figure this picture thing out lol thanks for the instructions Acteon277

Not done, still have bumpers to put on, LED lights for bumper, CB antenna and flag mount. Fix headliner, have new windshield put in, redo front brakes, and a few other small things.

Dig the new shoes...

Last time I did some actual offroading out in northern California several years ago.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Come wheel Indiana.

Nice vids maximus

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Thanks. Proud of her. Only had to hit the locker switches a couple times.

 

[Hookeye]

IIRC years ago the hill in Maximus' vid used to have a shelf 3/4 of the way up. Took a bit to get my XJ over it (2 or 3 tries, a bit of momentum- no locker).

 

[terrehautian]

I think I might have tried to get up that in my stock XJ once before the shelf got too bad and had to get tugged. Might have been a different hill though.

So a month ago when my XJ was stock, I drove it once a week just around the block. Since I lifted it, I have driven it more or the same as my car around town. I last drove my car on Friday, probably still drive the XJ again tomorrow to work. I got my bumpers painted this past weekend and will get them on in a few weekends. I am glad that my coil wire that went bad was the only thing wrong with my XJ when it died on me yesterday while driving.

 

[Zephri]

Well it's almost ready for winter and some off roading, just need some tires.
