A lot of these places are new to me. I went to school in Boone and got to know the area around there pretty good, but I've been on the far side of the country for the last 7 years, so all I know near Charlotte is Uwharrie. I took a few trips there, but its been close to 10 years since I was there last.
Ghost, I'd love to take you up on your offer, but I need to rework my steering before I have any more highway time. Got the first hints of deathwobble on the way home Sunday night, so until I can replace some worn tie rods, my Jeep is going to be for neighborhood trips only.
Oh and to keep it on topic, I had a good trip to the junkyard Saturday and got a center console from a 2000 to replace my stock mini console. Big fan of the newer design, way better than the old style center console.

Here's what my work had gotten me so far. Just a 2 inch boost and 30s on TJ Moabs, but this is going to be my daily once I sell the Honda in the background, so I'm not getting too crazy with it

Nice and clean. I love the 87-96 models and the two door is a bonus!

yea I love 2 door xj's. If you can check out my friend and sponsor ironman4x4fab. He has some great steering kits available. Over the knuckle under the knuckle and even wj conversion parts.

I was looking at their UTK Ton+ kit last night, actually. Looks beefy as hell, but it's a little more than I want to spend right now.
My plan at the moment is to just swap in V8 ZJ parts, I was very happy with that on my last XJ. With a cross country move and divorce, funding for some of the things I want to do is tighter than I'd like, so keeping this on budget is pretty important

I completely understand that. Been through a divorce myself. Whenever you feel like coming south let me know and lunch is on me at Bigs.

I have no clue. I know we were on the trail for 4 days and didn't see a 1/4 of it.
Granted, they weren't super long days and we stood around and stared at mountains for hours at a time. We ran Poison Spider Mesa, Hells Revenge, Shafer Trail and a few others I don't remember.
This link has a decent map.

thank you. ill definitely check it out. as for accommodations out that way. Is hotels or rental houses near by? or is it in the middle of no where.
Also.. I found a photobucket petition. I doubt it will get anything accomplished but I at least signed it.

is heading out there next October. Start planning now.
Biggest thing holding up the trip is getting the father in laws crawler back together. He wheels his CJ6 for being a nearly show jeep, but it would be more fun to wheel the willys. But how does the KM2s do out in MOAB? that's all we run since we have to deal with mudd and rocks here in east Tennessee.

Hotels, rental houses, camping, etc. There's plenty places to stay. It's a decent size little town.
Bald, wiring showing stock street tires would do 90% of Moab. That place defies the laws of physics. It's like driving on pavement. KM2's will do fine. I ran it with Falken AT3Ws and never spun a tire.
