Wisconsin area events- COMING SOON! Lower Wisconsin River kayak camping trip! July 25-27

maybe @GQ7227 can crochet a cover to keep his truck nice and cozy this winter

 

Happens with the 2lo mod if you don’t follow the procedure or if your actuator has a problem. Basically means something it expected to happen, didn’t.

If you power cycle the truck it’ll fix it most times.

 

that is good to hear it will fix

 

That can’t be good this time of year!

 

I might be interested in some back-roads sometime this winter. I'd be nervous about hitting the Pipeline once the snow hides the rocks. It seems like a good way to break something

I'm taking it easy lately trying to get caught up on bills and save money for a trip to Florida in late January. There's a ton of stuff I'm hoping to do down there, so I don't want to be on a budget

I'm actually thinking about checking out some trails if I can find something reasonably close to Lee County.

 

please fill us in? Funtivities down south during the winter?

 

My Mom's boyfriend has a house in Lee County. I've been visiting the last few winters.

It's a pretty great deal for me! Free place to stay on a canal with access to a boat. I'll be fishing the canals and Pine Island Sound, the Sanibel causeway, and possibly take a charter to catch a Goliath Grouper.

This part of Florida is one of my favorite places I've been! So much to do.

And, it looks like there might be some decent off-roading nearby. I might even try to meet up with some Tacomaworld guys if I can work it out.

 

sounds fun!
are there a lot of swamps in the area and gators?

 

sounds like a good time!! Enjoy the nice weather!

 

Thank you!

There's a little pond right down the road with a sign warning about alligators. I haven't seen any yet, though.

 

i bet they are watching you!

 

is that why you pee on them?
always been curious about that lol

 

The no-see-ums are worse than the mosquitoes. There are people who claim we have them in Wisconsin, but I've never seen anything like them here.

I'm eyeing up a few places near Fort Myers for some light wheeling. Maybe I can find a place with decent trails and some gators!

Here's a place I might check out. Looks like some 2 track roads and possible alligator sightings!

 

Well, beer is made from water, soo...

Just kidding! I usually don't drink too much down there. I'll have my share, but I don't need to get shitfaced and fall into the canal.

Never seen the red bugs or chiggers that I'm aware of.

I did accidentally stand on a fire ant nest once while shore fishing on the Sanibel causeway. That got unpleasant in a hurry!

Man, I can't wait for this trip! I'll definitely check in and post pictures

 

I'd like to see the whole Jeep!

I've always been a Toyota guy. But, I still think Wranglers are awesome! If I would ever build a dedicated off road rig, a 2 door Wrangler would be on the short list for platforms.

 

Went winter camping along the south branch of the Oconto River. A bit warm for scavenging wood (wood was getting soaked from melting snow), but great otherwise.

 

You could try a body shop, or the dealer.

I don't think you'll have much luck finding an aftermarket version.

Maybe try a salvage yard

 

Me!

 

The T.W.A.T might be a little more entertaining with some snow on it..

The Pipeline would be cool, but the snow would probably hide some of the smaller rocks, which could screw up your day if you didn't see them. I guess you could go slow.

Or we could check out the back-roads around Sauk City sometime.

I might be interested in a day trip.
