Jan or Feb Citrus trip interest?

Anyone interested in joining me and a few buddies on a trip to Citrus?

If so what weekend in the next few weeks would be best?

They just recently got 4x4's and want to go play off-road, they're super new to wheeling so we would be taking lighter stuff and easier lines.

One of them is a photographer meaning we may be stopping a lot or moving slowly as a group. I do not believe either of them have coms.

Most likely only one day maybe an overnight if there's enough interest for a camp out but I expect it to be cold.

Reply here with which dates would be best for you if interested and or tag anyone whom might also want in on a beginner friendly slow dirt cruise.


Yes it's a poser shot but Citrus looks like that.

P.S. To anyone who hasn't been to Citrus, light trail stripes are almost unavoidable.

 

Sounds like a good time!

 

I need to test out my v8 swap and all the other stuff I did.

Also the last weekend of January would work for me and I would definitely camp since it's a good drive lol

 

Hey! This is an easy going newbie meet! No V8's allowed!

Just kidding, that would be freaking sweet to see in person.

So last weekend of January the 28/29/30th ish sounds great!

Actually one of my buddies rigs is a V8, but he's a dirty freaking Jeep.

 

Not ready yet, need off-road tires and a suspension check up from shaking at 45 mph

 

You got a month lol besides you ain't doing 45 off-road.

 

I’m down for whenever. I’ve been thinking about heading over there one of these weekends.

 

Would also be down to bring the fam for some offroding and camping, let us know.

 

Looking like an early Saturday the 29th meetup, wheel all day, camp if you want to and head home Sunday morning right now.

 

Sooooo I don't see any available campsites for that weekend.

Looks like the end of March is when the start being available again

 

Either we camp in the sticks like ye ole covered wagon times, or we could probably take over my uncle's yard 20 minutes up the road for a night.



I didn't even think the check, I just assumed everything would be open and good.

I imagine the trails got to be open yeah?

 

Sounds like a great adventure time.

 

How bad is Citrus with pinstripes? I'm waiting on my Goat Armor, so would like to hold off for some added protection.

 

It can get pretty bad if you go down some of the narrower trails or ones that haven't been trimmed back in a while. Most of the time it's avoidable and I've never gotten stripes that couldn't be buffed out from there but I also stopped caring about trail marks a while ago.

There's a chance we may suddenly find ourselves on a narrow path so if you're really worried about striped you may want to catch the next trip, I believe it will be the Spring Camp and Ride, usually a bigger greet and wheel anyhow.

 

Yall still going? I'm down to meet ya out there.

 

Well both my newbie buddies are bailing on me, one's moving the other has family obligations that came up, I'm still might be down to do something but my schedule changed Wed/Thurs would be better for me.

 

Yeah sorry man I won't be able to make it either. I'm going to be doing a timing chain on a BMW this weekend. That being said I think we should schedule a trip when there's available sites. I'll pm you so we can figure out a date.

 

I’m planning February 12th or 13th, nothing fancy, just go run and explore, I haven’t been in months. Or i’ll go alone like usual. Just a shout out.

 

Everybody bailed last minute per usual so I called it myself as well, if I'm not hung up with house closing then I'm happy to go 12/13.

 

I would go this weekend but my weekend to work might be able to catch next one. How is CWM I havent been there yet? how do able is it with 33s with a locker its 2wd tho. know I will be limited but do have a winch
