    Yes, I will be at WFC. I am one of the event sponsors. I hope that all the West MI Tacoma crew can attend the event. It is really a good time for a good cause. Lunch, trails, lots of Jeeps that need to be shown what a real truck looks like by all of us ....

    Chicago suburbs her, iI'm dying to find easy trails. Not so easy to find around here, everything is private.

    How is yankee during the winter? I would love to tackle trails full of snow!

    I'll definitely be down to go up there again. I rode snowmobile trail #3 for a while and had a lot of fun. Found a super deep water hole that made me pucker a little too

    Not much going on around Chicagoland

    -river road rally park--easy park with mud holes

    -the cliffs-- haven't been there but hear some trails are tight and can cause damage

    -badlands indiana -- first time there a few weeks ago. Got a ton of pinstripes on my new truck but totally worth it!

    Send me a PM if you ever decide to go out wheeling. This weekend I'm planning a day trip out to yankee springs MI @pltommyo <- special thanks to this guy
