Thus park is sweet, lots of trails and tons of rock. Some rock is loose but not quite like Chocco.
Good, clean toilets and reasonable clean showers w warm water.
Here are some pics

I believe if Danny had a full tank of fuel he would have cleaned "water fall". Lost fuel pressure right at the critical break over.

^^ nice pictures Marc

Great pics, guys! I only took a few pics and I will post them up shortly. I have some iPhone videos and I was rolling my GoPro for a lot of the time, too. I will *try* and go through that video this week. //;D//
I had a blast at this park! Trails were really nice...not too easy...not too hard...JUUUUUSSSTTTT RIGHT. Rocks everywhere...ledges on the MAIN TRAIL! Purty sweet! Weather couldn't have been better and the rollin crew was awesome as well. Tony had some valve stem issues, and Danny nearly ran out of gas on the trail (no one had extra...not even Todd...who has a gas can on his Jeep), but other than that, it was an awesome couple of days in the woods. The map & signage sucks, but that seems to be a running theme at these offroad parks.
Jeep did awesome on the trails. Flexed great. MT2s were working really well, especially now that I have those internal beadlocks and was running just 8 lbs.
The only issue with this new rig seems to be on the highway on (somewhat) big hills. Even when I drove it home from SC on I-85, on the hills it seemed to bog down and wouldn't downshift correctly. It ended up causing the engine temp to trigger the dash lights 2 or 3 times that trip. Allsouth replaced the trans cooler, because the old one was installed by a retard, and it was a little smaller, so I was hoping maybe that would help airflow, too. Anyway...trip to Chocco went fine, as there were really no big hills on the way. On the way to Hale, on the couple of "mountains" I had to cross, it would go progressively slower up the big hills, but never overheated or threw any codes. So, going home I thought maybe going (slow) on the interstate would be easier on it than the back roads over the mountains. But, as soon as I got on I-24, there was a big climb up to Monteagle. It got down to 45-50 and engine temp light came on & check engine light came on. Marc was still behind me, so we stopped at the rest stop right at the top and checked the trans fluid, and it was OK. Temp went back down quickly and had no other issues all the way home. I checked the code when I got home and it was a misfire in cylinder 5. Cleared the code and drove it a bit and did not return.
So.....I guess I am going to need to address that. Worked great on the trails, tho! (I keep reminding myself of that)

Glad to hear you didn't have any more problems Jason. Hope you get her sorted out soon. You got to admit. It's better than two broken front shafts and a rear window right?
LOL
-
Here are the couple of pix I took. I was focusing on video. //;D//
Oh, and thanks, Marc, for making sure I was OK and to Wes for checking on me once I got home. Never leave a downed wheeler!

This ride was definitely "valve stem-o-rama" LOL
-
Awesome pictures. I hate I missed it. Hopefully I will be on the rocks again soon.

Other than a few small problems, very smooth running day. Everyone wheeled hard, great driving, great spotting, capable rigs. Tons of fun!!!
My jeep has seen a few upgrades since my last ride that made huge differences on the trail. Hydro assist, front bumper and fenders. Like everyone says, wish I did the hydro sooner. I had a ton more clearance with the new bumper. I had a small issue with a hose coming loose on the trail. Thanks to @phantom for coming through with some fluid for me. Contrary to Marks theory, I was not trying to make the trail slicker for everyone :)

I didnt have a camera at all with us, so we got nothing but stories lol, i was way too excited about actually getting to wheel the LJ to take any even if i did. Thanks to all you guys for just letting us right in, it was a good group, no breakage whatsoever, my driveshaft took a beating, but it held up even for a little night ride.

And Tony tell Hayden he was right about my wheels, i clearanced the lip pretty good on the right rear, look bad after i get it cleaned up yesterday

I forgot we also knocked the sub box and amp loose bouncing on that ledge Saturday night, ended up ripping the brackets outta the box and the ground wire loose, no biggie.

had a great time wheeling with everyone. I love this park and can't wait to go back there are still a bunch of trails we didn't get to and once all the trees get cleaned up from the loggers it will even be better. I think Danny got all marie's picks loaded but she is working on loading all the videos to youtube now. I had a little carnage but nothing major we will not speak of how it happened but those that where there will know //LMAO//

^^^ must have missed that!! Lol

Yeah yeah yeah. Misjudged the clutch/gas sweet spot in Todd's jeep. There, I own it.
I did redeem myself in Wes's on the night ride though.

Looks like it was a great time. Hope to see you all out there in June.

Dang Jay I can't believe you let the cat out of the bag that easy I wasn't gonna say anything until we all where around the fire on the next ride. //;D//

I'm willing to bet that he took the week off of work to edit it!

That is the first time I have really used it...getting all the video edited is a chore!

It really is. One of the reasons I didn't connect mine at Hale. I'll try again at MM
