Went to check out the forest tonight & took some pics, a little slippery/clay but it was fun. Went w/some of the Citrus County Jeep Club mainly to check out a '07 JK that we just installed a 3" FabTech lift on w/35" tires.

Some of the pics are a little grainy, it was dark so I had to lighten them.

More are posted @ Street2mud.com/gallery









'07 JK w/a 3" Fab Teck Lift------He almost rolled it tonight------real pucker factor going on in that Jeep

[TiredPete]

Nice pictures! I think this one should be your entry for JOM!!

I wish I had my camera on when the pucker factor happened. '07 JK & he turned right off a peak & it started to go, all we could do is say, turn left, @ that split second he did & still had some pucker going on until he got off the peak. I asked him if he heard us & he said no .

It was dark so some of the pics didn't come out to good. I didn't have my lighter JimI. , U old timers on here will understand.

Good show Rollbar, glad you brought the lighter for the camera.
Btw, don't show the date on your pics, it ruins my mood for looking at pics.

And next time list your trip on the calender.

I thought about listing it but no one is up this way so............

P.S. I'll try to remember to remove the date, but it does help for referances

No excuse, your busted! We want to see trips here as far away as California, JT is not a local forum... might seem that way from all the FL guys that hang here.

Heck there is guys that travel all over the place. They could be feeling intimidated by all the mud. We want to see some rocks!

OK, 20 lashes.

NO Rocks up here unless they are man made :sneak: . Lots of slick clay & some mud, we were going down a ravine last night & hit some ruts & slid over to the other bank , it was fun. Some of U rock guy's would have a hard time in this slick stuff w/them STREET tire U got on :sneak: .

[Outlaw]

We were out there last Saturday.... Almost rolled an 07 2dr JK.... Not alot of play areas but the ones that are there are fun.....
Heres ya a couple pics..






Let me know when your going again and i'll see ifI can get away...
I normally go to Richloam as it is closer but Citrus is pretty good...
And is only about 30 minutes more of a drive...

[Rollbar]

OK. Go to Citrus County Jeepers Web Site & we can communicate there a little more easier for weekend events up here.

Ya, the third pic, the '07 4door went to the middle left last night ( as U R going up) & found himself on the edge @ the top rocking back & forth, one guy was saying to go to the right & that's when it almost went over, we quickly said NO , turn it to the left & then he made it down.

P.S. I heard of some other areas out there last night but we didn't go , some people had to work today, maybe next time. Also, if U R off a numbered trail, it's 350 bucks & if U carry a firearm out of season U lost your Jeep .

Are there any maps of the trails and how to get there? I would love to do a trail ride up in that area.

[Rollbar]

It's the letter "C", I would have to look into a map.

Heres some I found, http://www.fl-dof.co...hlacoochee.html

Citrus County Wildlife Mgt Area off 44 & West of 41 in Inverness. Just drive in & stay on the numbered trails, it's a 350 dollar fine if U R off a # trail & caring a gun out of hunting season will result in the loss of your Jeep/vehicle.

[Rollbar]

Found a Map of the area.

Note: The red "X" means that is the entrance point to the Forest.

P.S. The orange trails are all the good wheeling spots.

[SodMan]

I have an idea. You South Florida guys meet me on 75 or 27 and we'll all ride up and see Rollbar. We could do Citrus one day and Ocala on the next.

[Rollbar]

Or catch it on the way home from the Ocala show but it might be to late.

[fishalways]

Is this somthing we could check out on the way up to Tellico this month?

Maybe a short trip, few hours or so?

Just a thought.

[Wildbill]

There area also caves in a couple of spots in the forest. They are pretty neat to see......... Most caves in FL are filled with water and you need to use SCUBA see them

Wildbill

[Rollbar]

We (Citrus County Jeep Club) are working on something right now w/the Forestry Division to get into Ocala's caves. They R gonna let us go to the caves that are not open to any 4x4 if we clean up around them & they will let us take the Jeeps there. Some of these places have not been traveled in many many years & there are no trails to them. So, keep your fingers crossed & hopefully we can get them to let us do it.

[Rollbar]

Well we went again on the spur of the moment

This time we went to the sand pit but after an all day rain there was some mud there & I told Peach I would take care of her Jeep while I had it. Here R the pics to prove it.







Peaches engine that could.








P.S. I had the doors off, that's why they R clean & yes she still has that chrome bumper on the front, can't U tell. :sneak:


This stuff drys like concrete, no need to paint it now







This one & the rest are on Street2mud.com/gallery site, just a muddy Jeep.

P.S. We are going out again on Friday night after our meeting, 10/05/07. Not sure where but it will be a mess.

[Big91explorer]

when Is the next ride here and how far is it from Coconut Creek

[Rollbar]

Not sure when but it's abour 3 1/2-4 hours from where U R @.

[Rollbar]

Went wheeling today in the forest. This hole was deep.

[southrider]

Looks like a blast!

[Big91explorer]

where was that........ I want to go

[Rollbar]

It's here, I merged the topics. Look @ the map (post 14), it's Citrus County WMA in Inverness, Fla

[Outlaw]

We had a group from our club out there this weekend also...
They camped friday and saturday nights... We need to hook up and ride some time...

[Rollbar]

Yes, a number of us met w/them to discuss club business, I was late & met them on the trail. Had fun.

[Rollbar]

Went wheeling yesterday afternoon here are some pics. This is trail 11 in CWMA.

I didn't know a yJ could do this.



Now I knew a ROUND headlight could.


Now this is a sweet Jeep right here.

[Rollbar]

Going again an about a 1/2 hour. We R gonna hit these trails again, 11-16. It rained for about 12 hours on Friday so it will be interesting.
