This jeep had wheels on it last night.

Not a good idea to do this around windrock or the mountains around it. On one of the WMA’s right next to Windrock I have seen vehicles burned to the ground. I have heard stories about stuck atv’s/side by sides getting left for whatever reason, Someone comes back next day and they where burned to the ground.

 

Nice. A TN boy. I’m sure you’re familiar with Aetna then. Not a good place to leave a vehicle overnight unattended.

 

Even thieves don't want to bother getting a spare of the roof...

 

Or on the side of the road overnight in Atlanta.

 

I have heard of it but never been. It’s pretty sad but I think I have heard this about every off road area in the state.

 

Yeah.. broken down keeps on trails are not that uncommon. We should start a “post up
Pics of rescuing jeeps” thread.

 

Thieves are hard to figure out. Sometimes they take stuff, other times they don't. A few years ago my wife and I parked at a trailhead for a short day hike on part of the Appalachian Trail in North GA. There was a BMW in the parking lot that had been there for a while. About 6 months later I was driving by the same spot and the car was still there. This is a pretty remote spot at least 15-20 miles from pavement.

On my way home I stopped by a Forest Service office to report it. The lady I spoke with pointed out that people are often gone for months when long distance hiking the trail. I pointed out that the car had AZ tags that had been expired for 2 years. The tires were flat, and you couldn't see in the windows for the moss growing on it. But nothing was missing, all doors were locked and the windows were intact.

 

Man that’s messed up. Things like this is why when I swapped wheels and tires I did locks. I hate people some times

 

Or during rush hour in Charlotte...

 

Not sure TW could handle that kind of volume.

 

doubtful it has much roll potential left in it but it has a lot of dumpster potential - not bear proof though.

 

It's shitty but it's true. I've driven by a few rigs left behind on trails before, damaged in some form or another, usually with notes on the dash saying "GETTING PARTS, PLEASE DON'T TOUCH" or something along those lines. One was an FJ with a broken tie rod and another was an older Landcruiser with a broken axle shaft (both Toyotas sadly, lol). Sucks that people can't be trusted.

Knock on wood I haven't had to do that yet, hopefully never will.

 

I was nervous AF! leaving my truck at that staging area at drinkwater.

 

I remember that haha. I went back there earlier this year to climb that same gatekeeper and smashed my fender/mirror/turn signal. It's super rutted out from the storms this year, haven't gone back and probably won't now lol. That sucked.

 

That was a Bummer... I remember seeing your posts on that.
