Thanks Hoss. Always looking for new places to ride i know alot of NF roads and trails. And just thought I would share with everyone who doesnt know there is a nice mud trail its NFS 126 i think in Blue Ridge GA. ANyone who wants directions just ask. It is a nice little trail for people who are just looking to ride and get in some mud. Nothing 4x4 cant handle.

haha rocks hurt. It cost money to play on the rocks, not so much by comparison to get a little muddy.

btw im sure everyone is familiar. But in Fannin county there is some nice just gravel roads that are really nice for family rides and picknicks. the cohutta national forest , just got my jeep only had it a week, and tonite in all this rain i went out there with some friends and it was nice. Just saying its another place to ride and on these same roads you can get to the terrible "mud" i mentioned earlier. Thanks for all the great hospitality guys this seems like a awesome group. I am working hard on getting some pics of the jeep up and getting me a cb radio set up and a fire extinguisher so i can come ride with yall.    {toast} WHOO!!!

Where is Will. He is our Mud guru.

Mud hurts to, especially when it gets in my eyes working on the jeep.

Welcome aboard. Got any photos of said jeep?

Rocks only hurt when you land on em. Mud can hurt you long after you leave the park if you don't clean up after yourself.

True, but that's were I would hope everyone would clean their rigs as soon as they are done wheeling. Clean equipment is usually working equipment. I know what its like to have mud hurt you, I went on the classic first mudding trip in my old dodge ram in high school. Waited one day to clean it and they mud ate up my brakes while i was rolling down the road haha.. Dont kill me but i dont really want to try any extreme off roading because this is my dd and im in college and on a budget usually i do all my own mechanic work. My friend is bringing me my camera in about a hour or so so stay tuned and I will post them in a few hours and everyone tell me what you think.

Dont worry alot of us DD our rig. Breaking is not our priority here, I like to be able to drive mine back home after a day of wheeling. Rocks can still be fun in a stock jeep. Just got to know what your doing.

Where mud hurts you the most is in the areas that you can't clean after a day in it, Deep mud will get in differentials, transmissions and electrical connectors and give you nightmares much later. I've seen as much broken from mudding as from rockcrawling. We are in a game where you pay to play, no matter what. {toast}

But with that said, welcome, this is a great group of guys here to wheel with, though I persinally don't get to much. Lol

Mine did that once, soaked it down with a little WD-40 and fixed it.  If that doesn't work, you can buy a rebuild kit for the pins, etc. if needed.
